A. Protocol Switch
The protocol switch allows your serial throttle quadrant console to properly communicate with FSX. The
other side of the switch is exclusively for ELITE software only. Make sure that the switch is pointed to
“PFC” side for FSX operation. If you do not have this switch, your device is not compatible with FSX.
