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 Dowsons 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:

How to start the calibration and switch assignments
1. 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

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)
21
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.
22
After you click OK and re-open FSUIPC it will show the
following Parameters as a Hexadecimal.
Each Engine can be controlled separately.
23
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/download-
monitor/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

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 FSUIPCs button sectionall 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.
35
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

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 length
7370 command 1 byte
7371 value 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 its
ready to accept another command.

takeoff
25 Push TOGA takeoff mode 2 - autopilot pitches nose-up at Vr
and takes off by itself (auto takeoff)
45
Using the default B737 you can control the Engine Cutoff switches using the
following info.
Engine 1
Offset 0890 Offset Word Set Engine 1 Mixture lever, 0 16384
16384 is ON and 0 is OFF
Engine 2
Offset 0928 Offset Word Set Engine 2 Mixture lever, 0 16384
16384 is ON and 0 is OFF
Default Boeing 737

Sim-Avionics Offsets
Check in the Sim-A Server FSUIPC_IO which offsets is assigned to the Fuel
Control Switches.
ENGINE_L_FUEL_CONTROL_SWITCH=5452
ENGINE_R_FUEL_CONTROL_SWITCH=5453
Then back in the FSUIPC Buttons tab move the Fuel control switch until it's
detected. Then assign.
Offset Byte Set
Offset = 5452
value = 1
You will also need to assign the button Released value (0). And obviously
depending on which way round the switch is wired Idle might be 'button
pressed', so the values will need to be changed accordingly.
A/P , A/T Disconnect and TOGA Switches
To assign a button go to: FSUIPC Buttons tab + press the button to assign
Offset Word Set
Offset = 53DB
value = xxx
551 = A/P Disconnect
567 = TOGA
563 = A/T Disconnect
