After using FD III with Microsoft FS 2004, and it working normally for the first two weeks, all of a sudden, the steam catapult, even though armed will not work. I am using FSUIPC ver 3.47 that had to be downloaded in order for FD III to work with FS 04.  I went to the Abacus web site, but see no tech support contact.
Has anybody else had this problem and what can be done about it????       captct

Thanks,, I have sent a e-mail to Abacus and am waiting for a reply, as I already reinstalled Flight Deck, and it still doesn't work.  I think I may have fouled up the FSUIPC file as it is a separte program within FD III.

  Have solved the problem, after talking to Abacus. It seems that the problem was in the joystick throttle, in that although the throttle was full forward, it was less that 90% and FD III requires the engine to be at 90% or more in order for the catapult to work.  Just recalibrated the joystick, and it works fine.   Smiley
