This will ensure that the Plug & Play procedure will work as required. You must have Administrator rights into operative system to ensure correct installation Make sure that antivirus and other malware software doesn’t prevent the setup program to copy the files as expected (just in case, you may wish to disable them during the setup process). Should you get errors reporting files not found or copy file errors, this is due to the antivirus. To install the USB driver for TQ Throttle, please insert either the DVD or the USB pen supplied with the unit, in the computer , browse to the unit manually and locate the folder "Setup FTDI USB driver" , select the correct folder for Your system, "Windows" or "Windows 8-10" and "32" or "64" for a 32bit or 64 bit system. During the installation process, the USB driver is installed. They let your operative system to recognize the TQ properly. During this process, a window like the one displayed on the left is shown. Once the drivers are fully installed, you can connect the power supply cable to the TQ Throttle unit and then connect the USB cable from TQ Throttle to the computer. The TQ Throttle works in COM (serial) emulation via USB, so a fictitious new serial port is added to your PC configuration. In order to use the TQ Throttle, you need to know the unique COM port number assigned to the TQ Throttle by your operative system. To do so, please follow these steps: From Windows START button, run “devmgmt.msc” as a command line program (use START | Run | type devmgmt.msc | click OK in Windows XP or just type devmgmt.msc in Windows Vista, 8, 10 as illustrated below): • The following window will appear, just click “Ports” to expand the tree and get a list of the ports installed in your PC. www.flightsimulatorcenter.com page 3/26 Version 1.2.9 FSC 737 TQ Pro Manual date: 2017-12-24 • The port belonging to TQ Throttle is listed as either “USB Serial Port” or “FSC Throttle Motorized PRO”. Should you have multiple serial ports with the same name, just double click each of them and check the manufacturer. If the manufacturer is FTDI, then this is the serial port belonging to TQ. Take a note of the COM port number (4 in the example above), as it will be required by TQ driver. • You are now ready to configure and use the TQ Throttle for use in your preferred flight simulation software, please see the next chapter. www.flightsimulatorcenter.com page 4/26 Version 1.2.9 FSC 737 TQ Pro Manual date: 2017-12-24 3 – USING THE TQ IN X-PLANE In order to work as expected, the TQ driver requires X-Plane and XPUIPC started in the following sequence: 1) Start X-Plane, making sure that it loads also the XPUIPC plug-in as indicated below: From the Plug-in Admin menu, XPUIPC/XPWideFS must be set as Enabled. 2) If the TQ Throttle is physically connected to a slave computer (say computer “B”) not running X-Plane, you will have to run XPWideClient on computer B, configuring the IP address of the computer where X-Plane runs. The TQ driver will be executed on computer B too. For first time use, XPWideClient needs to be configured in order to communicate with X- Plane. In the sample shown above, XPWideClient is configured to communicate with X- Plane running on the same computer where XPWideClient and the TQ driver are used (IP address of 127.0.0.1, meaning “itself”). XPWideClient is configured by directly editing its INI file by a text editor (for example, Windows Notepad). Please consult the documentation shipped with XPWideClient to know how to edit its INI file and configure it as required. If the TQ Throttle is connected to the same computer where X-Plane runs, step 2 can be skipped. 3) Start the TQ driver by running the correct “MS173486 TQ xxx.exe” ! IMPORTANT ! The installer will NOT copy MS173486 TQ executable from the installation media to your computer. So, just copy it manually from the installation media to your desktop, as it is a single file not requiring any complex installation procedure.

The aircraft diverted to Exeter Airport where it made an uneventful landing. The handwheel offset was the result of a break in a left aileron cable that ran along the wing rear spar. In the course of this investigation it was discovered that the right aileron on G-FLBE, and other aircraft in the operator’s fleet, would occasionally not respond to the movement of the handwheels. Non-reversible filters were also fitted to the operator’s aircraft that meant that it was not always possible to reconstruct the actual positions of the control wheel, column or rudder pedals recorded by the Flight Data Recorder. The aircraft manufacturer initiated safety actions to improve the maintenance of control cables and to determine the extent of the unresponsive ailerons across the fleet.
