FSX Joystick problem: axes not working, buttons working

[micksid]

Hi Pete, 

 

I've come across a problem and its become quite annoying after spending 30minutes in preflight!!
 

My joystick axes do not work, but the buttons do. 

Any idea?

Also if it helps, when I go back into FSUIPC, the axes work and show that they're being recognised. However, in the calibration tab, instead of going to send to FSUIPC like what i always have it set to, it comes up with as if i had selected send to FSX.

 

Thanks in advance for your help

Michael

It sounds very like you have the buttons assigned for that aircraft, or generally but the axes assigned only for another aircraft using Profiles. Best show me your FSUIPC4.INI file (paste it her) and tell me which aircraft you were flying -- or show me the Log too so I can see.

 

Remember that axes and calibrations apply either generally, if programmed that way, OR specifically, but never both. Whereas with buttons and keys presses both can be applied, with the specific assignments simply overriding the general ones when they overlap.

Well, if that's your complete INI file, then, apart from this spurious rubbish:

 

[Profile.pmdg]

1=

 

which you should most certainly delete, there's nothing really there to go wrong.

 

The axis assignments seem odd though:

 

0=0X,256,D,1,0,0,0 =Aileron, assigned direct

1=0Z,256,D,4,0,0,0 =Generic throttle, assigned direct

2=0R,256,D,3,0,0,0 =Rudder, assigned direct

3=0S,256,D,22,0,0,0 =Spoilers/speed brake, assigned direct

 

How do you get by with no elevator? Are you sure you haven't got axes also assigned in FS? If assigning axes in FSUIPC you should really disable the controller altogether in FS.

Hi Pete,

 

I have a similar problem with FSUIPC 4.30 when I try to configure the buttons, the bar will flash 3 times and no more work. After that, all stop and I can not even close FSX.

 

Thanks

Sorry, but I cannot support a six year old version of FSUIPC. If you want support you need to install the currently supported version, 4.936 or later.
