Pete, Thanks for replying. Dave

Hello Pete, I have searched the forum but cannot see this topic has been brought up before, apologies if it has. I am wondering if it is possible to introduce axis assignments and calibration for captain and first officer, rather than the single assignments that exist currently. I am thinking about Ailerons, elevator, brakes and rudder. I feel certain you would have done this if it was possible but I thought I would ask. Thanks Dave

Pete, I am refering to this list: [JoyNames] AutoAssignLetters=Yes 0=BU0836X Interface 0.GUID={A0B7CCE0-90D8-11DF-8006-444553540000} 1=GoFlight GF-RC Rudder Control 1.GUID={A0B7A5D0-90D8-11DF-8004-444553540000} 2=SideWinder Precision 2 Joystick 2.GUID={D75A1460-97F9-11DF-8001-444553540000} 3=CH FLIGHT SIM YOKE USB 3.GUID={D93B5780-97F9-11DF-8002-444553540000} 4=GF-TQ6 Throttle System 4.GUID={DB39E6A0-97F9-11DF-8003-444553540000} A=GoFlight GF-RC Rudder Control A.GUID={A0B7A5D0-90D8-11DF-8004-444553540000} B=BU0836X Interface B.GUID={A0B7CCE0-90D8-11DF-8006-444553540000} C=CH PRO PEDALS USB C.GUID={339B9670-B83E-11DC-8001-444553540000} D=CH FLIGHT SIM YOKE USB D.GUID={D93B5780-97F9-11DF-8002-444553540000} E=GF-TQ6 Throttle System E.GUID={DB39E6A0-97F9-11DF-8003-444553540000} 5=CH PRO PEDALS USB 5.GUID={339B9670-B83E-11DC-8001-444553540000} F=SideWinder Precision 2 Joystick F.GUID={D75A1460-97F9-11DF-8001-444553540000} G=BU0836X Interface H=BU0836X Interface H.GUID={775ED880-B7F4-11DC-8001-444553540000} 6=BU0836X Interface 6.GUID={FC794690-E793-11E0-8001-444553540000} 7=BU0836X Interface 7.GUID={775ED880-B7F4-11DC-8001-444553540000} I did begin by numbering 0 and 1 but had the probolem described. I have three BU0836X cards but only two have encoders attached, those named in the above list as 'B' and 'H'. I did not realise thyis was a windows ID list. I assumed it was the list that identified the joysticks as seen in FSUIPC. I did use the HIDScanner here is the log : ********* HidScanner, Version 2.00 by Pete Dowson ********* Device at "\\?\hid#vid_045e&pid_0038#7&34e3140e&0&0000#{4d1e55b2-f16f-11cf-88cb-001111000030}"

then this whole hobby has been a steep learning curve, that's what makes it enjoyable. You also say "I'll try to help" for that I am very grateful. Rest assured I do not come for help unless I have tried every avenue I can think of. I'll get stuck into the "HidDemo.lua", but will read up on it's use first. Thanks Dave I

Hi Pete, I do have eight cards connected and showing in FSUIPC but they are not all BU0836X types, the first one is and the last two. So, you are saying I should number the BU0836X devices as if they are the only cards attached and not follow the numbering in FSUIPC? The normal button numbers are 26 and 27 showing in FSUIPC. I'll check connections but the joystick shows up as 'B' and the button numbers as 26 & 27, the ones that work show up as Joystick 'B' button numbers 28 & 29 and 30 & 31. (just tried numbering 0, 1 & 2 with same result) Thanks Dave

Hi Pete, I've tried not to come back with silly questions but I'm afraid I have failed! I have created two lua files, BU0836X_0.lua and BU0836X_1.lua each with the same content as the ipcready.lua file I used previously and placed them both in the modules folder of FSX. In FSUIPC.ini I have placed the entry: [Auto] 1=Lua BU0836X_0 2=Lua BU0836X_1 When FSX runs I can both Lua files listed in FSUIPC. I need two of the three BU0836X cards I have to operate the virtual joystick, these are Joytick B & H. These are also designated 0 and 7 in FSUIPC.ini. At the start of the lua files I have inserted 0 in one and 7 in the other as the device; thus: Vendor = "Leo Bodnar" Product = "BU0836X Interface" Device = 0 -- Multiple devices of the same name need increasing Device numbers and Vendor = "Leo Bodnar" Product = "BU0836X Interface" Device = 7 -- Multiple devices of the same name need increasing Device numbers I have the pairs listed within the curly brackets thus for dveice 0: Rotaries = {31,30,29,28,27,26} And thus for device 7 Rotaries = {31,30,29,28,27,26,25,24,23,22,21,20,19,18,17,16,15,14,13,12,11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0} I am sure these pairings are correct. In FSUPC Device 0 (joystick B) the pairs 30+31 and 28+29 are showing joystick 64 but pair 27+26 are not. None of the pairs for device 7 (joytick H) are showing the virtual joystick. I have tried using device 0 and device 1 with pretty much the same outcome. Any guidance as to where I am going wrong would be most welcome. Thanks in advance. Dave

Hi Pete, Thanks very much for your reply, much appreciated. I will setup Lua/FSUIPC as you describe and report back. Hope you had a good holiday. My regards Dave

Hi There, I have followed this thread with interest and have been able to get the 'Joystick 64' to work on one BU0836 card. The problem is I have three of these cards and need to add a second one to the Lua script arrangment. I copied the original Lua script and gave it a different name. ipcready1.lua and it appears in the FSUIPC drop down list. I have tried assigning increasing Device numbers starting from 1 and going up to 7, which is the total number identified using the HID programme. I have added the paired outputs within the curly brackets but no luck. Any advice on how I can get a second card to work would be very welcome. Thanks in advance. My regards Dave
