Any such use would void any warranties stated or implied. JetMax Throttle Installation Instructions Ver 1.3 Feb 2013 2 Important Information regarding the JetMax throttle: The JetMax Throttle is a plug and play device using a custom game controller. This controller can be accessed through the Windows Game Controller. There are calibration instructions that need to be followed as outlined in this manual. Also some switch offsets assigned via FSUIPC. A registered version of Peter Dowson’s FSUIPC is required and available here: http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html FSUIPC Settings are accessed through Flight Simulator. Some Flight Simulator settings need to be deleted. *Please refer to the FSUIPC Manual for assignments and calibration. Some are covered in this manual but a detailed listing of all FSUIPC assignments and instructions are available in the FSUIPC Manual located here: C:\Your Location of FS\Modules\FSUIPC Documents JetMax Throttle Installation Instructions Ver 1.3 Feb 2013 3 JetMax Throttle Installation Instructions Ver 1.3 Feb 2013 4 JetMax Throttle Cables and Harness The JetMax Throttle comes with a USB cable and also a harness (with Red/White/Black wires) for the Optional Steering Tiller. The Steering Tiller comes with a harness and plug to connect to the Throttle connector and plug. Remove the attached “jumper” and connect the Steering Tiller. Instructions for adding the Steering Tiller are in this manual. If you do not have the Optional Steering Tiller you must leave the “jumper” attached to the Throttle harness. Throttle harness for Optional Steering Tiller Jumper JetMax Throttle Installation Instructions Ver 1.3 Feb 2013 5 The JetMax Throttle will work with the following Avionics Suites: •Aerosytems •FS9 /FSX / Prepar3d (limited functionality, some switches require an Avionics Suite) •iFly (Requires iFlytoFSUIPC) •PMDG Requires: http://www.flightdecksolutions.com/pcupload/FDS-Glare PMDG Module v1.1.zip http://www.flightdecksolutions.com/pcupload/FDS-GLARE-PMDG-Installation.pdf •Project Magenta •ProSim •Sim-Avionics •More to follow... Configuration is dependant on the offsets used by each program. Some experimentation may be required and involves some trail and error. Some configurations may require questions in the above mentioned Forums. *** This JetMax manual is only a basic guide.*** JetMax Throttle Installation Instructions Ver 1.3 Feb 2013 6 JetMax 737 Throttle Game Controller Location of the Game Controller below: Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers Accessing the JetMax Throttle Game Controller allows you to test all the functions of the Game Controller via Windows. *Windows 7 shown above JetMax Throttle Installation Instructions Ver 1.3 Feb 2013 7 Right-click on the JetMax controller Select “Game Controller Settings” Select “Properties” JetMax Throttle Installation Instructions Ver 1.3 Feb 2013 8 Listing of potentiometers and switches: •Slider Engine 1 •X-Rotation Spoiler •Y-Rotation Engine 2 •Z-Rotation Flaps •Dial Steering Tiller (optional) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

Whenever a game controller is plugged into Windows for the first time in FS9, FSX or Prepar3D the default settings are applied. You need to remove these settings from FS via OPTIONS / CONTROLS and select the Game Controller (in this case JetMax 737 Controller). Go to Joystick Axes and scroll down the Axis list. Select each Axis and click on “Delete Joystick Assignment”. Do this for every Axis listed under the JetMax 737 Controller. NOTE: if you have other USB devices (Pedals, yoke etc) they will show in the “Joystick Type” in the drop down menu. Only do the JetMax 737 Controller. See Figure 5 *Extra wire and connector for Optional Steering Tiller Mechanism *Please refer to the FSUIPC Manual for complete instructions and detailed information related to FSUIPC. *** This JetMax manual is only a basic guide.*** JetMax Throttle Installation Instructions Ver 1.3 Feb 2013 10 1) Figure 5 2) Select Axis 3) Click on “Delete Joystick Assignment” JetMax Throttle Installation Instructions Ver 1.3 Feb 2013 11 4) Next delete all the Joystick Buttons that are from the Default settings.

JetMax Throttle Installation Instructions Ver 1.3 Feb 2013 19 Throttle Lever Set-up Assigning ENG 1 and 2 requires checking the “No Reverse Zone” You are then only calibrating the IDLE and MAX settings for the Throttles. *Reversers are assigned to switches in FSUIPC. (See next page for detailed information) JetMax Throttle Installation Instructions Ver 1.3 Feb 2013 20 Engine Reversers Engine reversers are switches in the JetMax throttle lever, use the following offsets: Offset Word Set Eng 1 Offset x088C Parameter -5800 End 2 Offset x0924 Parameter -5800 Use Offset Word Set and the same offsets but use 0 as a parameter for returning to IDLE. JetMax Throttle Installation Instructions Ver 1.3 Feb 2013 21 After you click OK and re-open FSUIPC it will show the following Parameters as a Hexadecimal. Each Engine can be controlled separately. JetMax Throttle Installation Instructions Ver 1.3 Feb 2013 22 iFly Switch Information The use of the JetMax Throttle with iFly requires the use of iFLytoFSUIPC software created by Jouni Tormanen. This software interfaces iFly to FSUIPC and has a complete list of switch offsets to use with iFly. iFlytoFSUIPC available here: http://library.flight1.net/wp-content/plugins/downloadmonitor/download.php?id=1290 Version: v2.14 In the Zip file is the manual for iFlytoFSUIPC and it has all the offsets listed along with instructions. •Please follow the instructions, have all the latest iFly updates installed for this software to work properly. •Remember you can also compare the actions from the hardware by bringing up the panels in iFly. Compare Switch actions and Annuciators to see if you have programmed it correctly JetMax Throttle Installation Instructions Ver 1.3 Feb 2013 23 Offsets from iFlytoFSUIPC for the JetMax Throttle 232 KEY_COMMAND_AUTOMATICFLIGHT_AUTOPILOT_DISC (for Yoke) 233 KEY_COMMAND_AUTOMATICFLIGHT_AUTOTHROTTLE_DISC 234 KEY_COMMAND_AUTOMATICFLIGHT_TOGA 510 511 513 514 KEY_COMMAND_ENGAPU_ENG_1_START_LEVER_IDLE KEY_COMMAND_ENGAPU_ENG_1_START_LEVER_CUTOFF KEY_COMMAND_ENGAPU_ENG_2_START_LEVER_IDLE KEY_COMMAND_ENGAPU_ENG_2_START_LEVER_CUTOFF 1177 x049A 1178 x0499 KEY_COMMAND_GEAR_PARKING_BRAKE_LEVER_OFF KEY_COMMAND_GEAR_PARKING_BRAKE_LEVER_ON Settings in FSUIPC when assigning switches in iFly require the following: •Select FS Control •Offset Word Set (from Drop-Down menu) •Offset x9400 (don’t forget the “x”) •Parameter (switch offset in iFly ie:233) To create an ON/OFF action you need to assign the ON then the OFF using the same Offset Word Set, Offset x9400 and use the correct command in ON and the off command for OFF. See the examples on the next 4 pages.

This saves the changes to the configuration file in FSUIPC JetMax Throttle Installation Instructions Ver 1.3 Feb 2013 33 iFly B737 Spoiler Setup FSUIPC Notes In this section you can set up two 10 zones (ranges of values) on the current axis that will each, separately, trigger a control. The controls are any of the button/switch controls that you can assign in FSUIPC‘s button section—all are listed in the drop down according to the same rules as on the Buttons + Switches tab. Those controls which take a parameter can do so here, and you can enter an offset too for the FSUIPC offset controls. Everything is exactly comparable to assigning buttons, except that the trigger is related to the values arriving from the axis. JetMax Throttle Installation Instructions Ver 1.3 Feb 2013 34 First you set the range of values in which this action will occur. The little spin control on the left selects which of the 10 ranges you are now setting (you can go back and change or adjust them using that spin control). Then you simply move the lever to the two extremes of the range, clicking the ―From‖ button at one end (the lower number) and ―To‖ at the other (the higher number). If you get these the wrong way round, no matter— FSUIPC will still understand. The values should be different, though. The check boxes ‗Up‘ and ‗Down‖ allow you to select whether the action is to occur when the axis is moving from low values to higher ones (―Up‖), or the other way (―Down‖), or both. This allows you do have different things happen one way than the other. Translation: This will allow you to configure iFly to use the Speedbrake lever on the JetMax throttle and have the Speedbrakes deploy and retract fully. Follow the instructions on the next pages to configure your Speedbrakes. Using the iFly offset info below: 9428 Set Speedbrake lever position //Pro only. Val:0~208. 0: Speedbrake down; 25: armed; 67: 50% Speedbrake; 161: flight detent; 208: Speedbrake full up JetMax Throttle Installation Instructions Ver 1.3 Feb 2013 35 Step 1 Step 6 Step 2 Six Steps to setting the Speedbrake in iFly See the following pages: 34-39 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 JetMax Throttle Installation Instructions Ver 1.3 Feb 2013 36 Step 1 Speedbrake DOWN •Move the Speedbrake (SB) lever and watch for the “Data” • Place Speedbrake lever in DOWN position • #1 setting, click on Up and Down boxes •“Offset Byte Set” in the drop-down menu •Offset x9428 and Parameter 0 (Zero) •Click on “From” in Down position, move SB lever out of the Down position about half way to Armed.

Note: Some of the Data numbers may not match exactly as shown in the previous pictures , parameters will change in FSUIPC as it changes to a Hexadecimal number. JetMax Throttle Installation Instructions Ver 1.3 Feb 2013 42 aeroSystems TOGA and A/T Disconnect INTRODUCTION: aeroSystems use the standard FSUIPC offsets plus dedicated offsets that allow you to read and write data to and from the aeroSystems software. You can send button presses, turn switches on and off. The dedicated AeroSystems offsets in FSUIPC start at address 7370 hex and occupy 32 bytes. SENDING A COMMAND TO AEROSYSTEMS: Sending a command is very simple. A command is sent using the addresses below. Address description 7370 command 7371 value length 1 byte small integer (2 bytes) Before you send a command you must first make sure that address 7370 hex has a value of 0. if it is 0 you can write a command to that address, with an optional value to address 7371 hex. When aeroSystems has finished processing the command, aeroSystems will set 7370 hex back to 0, informing you that it’s ready to accept another command.
