Lost calibration ini
-
Hi,
A little help if possible please.
I have searched regarding the calibration ini, but nothing answers my question.
I have a fresh install on a new ssd, Windows 7 professional.
I have the FCC-3 mod.
I have connected my cougar and installed the drivers all ok.
Flashed the cougar firmware all ok.
Left the ccp as is in auto calibration and went flying.
All ok in BMS except sluggish response to roll and pitch (expected because of auto calibration)
Went back to ccp and followed “Nutty’s” manual calibration routine.
Went back to flying and pitch roll response crisp and snappy all ok.
However according to the instructions a “calibration ini” will be placed in the Hotas file of my install,
well it isn’t.
I have set file permissions to show all extensions and searched with windows explorer.
So can anyone give me a nudge in the right direction as to what might have happened please.Cheers……Mogas

My install does not have calibration.ini either, but it does have HOTAS.ini. I suspect that the file name changed during one of the software updates. If it works, don’t worry about it.

It seems to be working ok.
I am really curious where the calibration has been saved though.
Thanks…… Mogas

Maybe not, … On my system Win8.1x64 , every new file created is not in \program files(x86)\Hotas … then in 'c:\Users\xxyyzz\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\HOTAS\ ’
so if you can’t find new files , try to look here.That ‘virtualstore’ policy is used form Win7, afaik, maybe Vista…
–that actually depends if you’re running software ‘as administrator’ with UAC on, or normally.

“Left the ccp as is in auto calibration and went flying… Sluggish response…”
Why are you using that beautiful FCC3 bit of kit in Auto Cal mode?
Seriously, auto cal has to learn every time you fly as to your stick deflections, quite literally on the fly. So it’s going to be sluggish and sometimes peaky until it’s had enough stick input to calculate an average… And start all over the next time you fly (can’t guarantee it reads the cal data from previous CCP startups)
Rather, and this is how I fly the FCC3 and FSSB-R1, set the CCP to manual calibration, then calibrate and save its values, then point to that as your profile upon load up. Im stretching my memory banks here, but I thought that the FCC3 installation instructions recommend manual cal also.
In my biased opinion, never run in auto calibration mode unless you’re just uncomfortable with running the manual calibration routine. In that case, you should have a habit of teaching the auto calibration full deflection in all controller axes while sitting in the ramp or before firing up BMS with the CCP running.
