ProFlightTrainer PUMA X with Aerofly FS4 on Mac

  • Since I fly a lot of helicopters, I have now bought the "PUMA X" controller from Pro Flight Trainer LLC :). However, at the moment I still have difficulties calibrating and assigning it on my Mac :( . A test calibration under Windows showed that technically the controller is OK because it can be calibrated under Windows 11. :/

    That is the current situation:

    • the controller is recognised as "PFT-PUMA"
    • X and Y (cyclic) only show deflections of less than 10 % each around the centre point
    • Z (collective) shows deflections of 50 to 70 % from the lower end point
    • Ry and Rz (throttle) show deflections from the lower endpoint up to 95 and 100 %, but cannot be assigned then
    • Rx (rudder) shows deflections from -40 to +30 % around the centre point
    • Dial (right wheel brake) shows deflections from -10 % to the centre point, starting from the centre point
    • Slider 0 (left wheel brake) shows deflections from 40 to 50 %, is comparable to Dual, but starts from 0 % (on the left side)

    Above this, these buttons are not displayed:

    -- 25 (=Zone2 from button 5)

    -- 26 (=Zone2 of button 6)

    -- 27/28/29/30/31

    I have already reset the gc-map.mcf as well as the controllers and assignments - unfortunately without success so far. I also got nowhere when reading out and trying to adjust the gc-map.mcf with a text editor. :/

    I am happy if there is a solution.

  • brief interim information:

    In the meantime I have succeeded in calibrating with try and error in the gc-map.mfc.😀
