OK Thanks Brian

Hello. I was forced to change my old email address (fsnet.co.uk) and use another. I have changed my registered email address for this forum and Simmarket. However my FSUIPC key file and hence log files and the FSUIPC display still show the old email address. I am thinking that I should be getting a new key file with the new email address from somewhere, but I am unable to find any information about this. How do I update my registered email address?

Delayed thanks Pete, problem is solved now. (Delayed because I was looking for another post after the first part of your last reply and didn't realise that you'd added the 'Laters', as the topic date and time stayed as the original in the topic list). I thought I'd do a summary of the answer to my original question in case anyone has the same problem as I had and is looking for a simple answer. Firstly: Update to FSUIPC4 v4.804, which solves a possible relevant bug in earlier versions. Secondly: Load a previously unassigned aircraft. If necessary delete an assigned aircraft in the INI file and reload it (particularly if there is one that you want to use with the new controller). This allows the profile options menu to appear from the Axes Assignment tab, or the Buttons and Switches tab. Not specifically stated anywhere or particularly logical or obvious - it seems to me that you are more likely to want to start a new profile when adding a new controller, than when adding a new aircraft. But easily done when you know how! Brian L

Below is INI file. I should now have a Joystick+Pedal profile with only the default Piper Cub in it, and a Yoke+Pedal profile with only the default Cessna C172SP Skyhawk in it. If I try to add a third profile by using another unassigned aircraft and the Axes Assignment tab the Profile Specific box is still greyed out.

Simflight FSUIPC Forum query 26-02-2012 1210.rtf I'm hoping this post is published as I've had trouble posting (keeps sticking on 'saving post or server error', maybe because I'm trying to import it from a pre-written Wordpad document and I'm not sure what filetype and font to use, or it's too long). Peter, I'm really very sorry - I do seem to have confused you, which means that your last reply is probably not relevant, so I've not replied to that as you requested. Anyhow I have just returned to the problem 'How do I start a new profile when adding a new controller?', and I have just found a way of doing it, but not as given in manuals and tutorials. For the benefit of myself and others it would be helpful to find out why the documented method does not work, so please read on. I think it best if all previous posts are ignored and I now start again, and try to be clearer. I do stick to my original question though 'How do I start one or more new profiles when adding a controller'. This was the situation at the start of my first post: I had one profile for single engined aircraft using joystick + pedals. I had two aircraft in it, the default Piper Cub and the default Cessna C172SP Skyhawk. I wanted to start a new profile using the new yoke and existing pedals, which I could not do. When I found the Bradrdfii post I thought that might be the answer, ie using an unassigned aircraft (or deleting an assigned one and reusing it), and loading it, but as I said that did not work. This is what I then did:- Deleted the default Cessna C172SP Sykhawk from my FSUIPC4.INI file. Note that there is then only one profile (Joystick + Pedals) and only one aircraft in it (default Piper Cub). Started FSX with the default Cessna C172SP Skyhawk, ie an unassigned aircraft, loaded it (and sometimes actually flown it in case that makes a difference). Gone into FSUIPC4, and selected the Axis Assignment tab. The Profile Specific box and tick is greyed out. The title bar just says 'FSUIPC Options and Settings'. Moved the CH Yoke forward and back. The axis is correctly detected (Joy#Y, Axis#Y) with numbers OK. The Profile Specific box and tick is greyed out. The title bar says 'FSUIPC Options and Settings'. I can now start a new profile by repeating as in the above 'This is what I then did' section, but ONLY by using the 'Buttons and Switches' tab or the 'Key Presses' tab, and NOT by using the 'Axes Assignment' tab. The FSUIPC manual at the top of page 43, and the Samurai tutorial both say specifically that I should be able to use the Axes Assignment tab, other tutorials do not cover profiles very well if at all, but it is assumed that profiles should work similarly to aircraft. It seems that either: (a) Various manuals and tutorials are incorrect, OR (b) Using the Axes Assignment tab works, or did work, for aircraft specific and authors have assumed that it works similarly for profile specific when it actually doesn't, OR © A program change has been made which inadvertently changes the way in which the program operates (resulting in manuals and tutorials becoming incorrect), OR (d) There is something wrong with my particular installation or setup, OR (e) Something else? Peter, may I respectfully suggest that if you could quickly try starting a new profile using the Axes Assignment tab yourself, to check that it does actually work as you think it should, it would help to find out what is happening. If you still wish me to send the FSUIPC4.INI file, please let me know how, eg copy/insert/attach it into this topic, or email to some address? Thanks Brian L PS I'm using v4.80.

Sorry, but I've already done that as I said in my original post, see the para beginning 'Now I've just found ---'. I've just repeated again what I said I did before with the same result as follows: Checked that default Cessna 172 Skyhawk is NOT listed in my FSUIPC4.INI file. Started FSX with the default Cessna 172 Skyhawk. Gone into FSUIPC4, and selected the Axis Assignment tab. Moved the CH Yoke forward and back. The axis is correctly detected (Joy#Y, Axis#Y) with numbers OK. The Profile Specific box and tick is greyed out. Apologies if this post turns out to be repeated, there seemed to be a problem with the original send. Brian L

Thanks for your quick answer. Yes, I understand how I can transfer an aircraft from one profile to another and I could do that, but my problem is creating another profile. Do I have to do that by editing the INI file? If so, I would need more information as the existing profile name appears four times. Regards Brian L

Hi, hope someone can help me with this problem. I'm adding a new controller, so need one or more new profiles, then to reallocate some aircraft on an existing profile to a new one . In my case I've started with a Saitek Evo Wireless Joystick with an appropriately named profile (Evo Joystick) and allocated a few aircraft to it. Next I've added CH Pro pedals, by renaming the original profile (to Evo Joystick + CH Pedals) in the FSUIPC.ini file, clearing the joystick rotation for rudder axis, and adding the CH Pedals axes. Next I've got a CH Yoke so I need a new profile, maybe changing some of the aircraft on the old profile to the new. Then I might want to add multi-throttles, helicopter controllers, Spitfire joystick, instruments, etc, in each case requiring new profiles and the switching of existing aircraft between profiles. In the axis assignments chapter of the User Guide top of second page (43) it says ‘Load FS and go to the FSUIPC4's options. Select the Axis Assignment tab, and you will see this', and the screen shot shows ‘Aircraft specific?' box (not greyed out). When I do this and move the yoke forward and back the display shows Joy#Y Axis#Y with appropriate numbers, and my profile for Evo Joystick + CH Pedals is shown at the top, which all seems correct, but the Aircraft Specific box, or in my case the Profile Specific box (as I've enabled profiles in the FSUIPC4.INI file), and its tick, is greyed out. Now I've just found the ‘Profile Assignment' post started by bradrcfii on Jan 14 2012 04:05pm. At last the answer! So I've just deleted the default Cessna Skyhawk from the FSUIPC4.INI file, started a new flight with it, and repeated the previous paragraph, but with the same result (profile specific box and tick greyed out). As a newbie to FSX and FSUIPC I've spent many hours reading the manuals and other guides but I can't find a solution to this, though it worked for bradrcfii, so I'm hoping you can please tell me what am I doing wrong? Thanks Brian L
