FSUIPC4 for P3D 2:3:11345:


Recommended Posts

I have the same P3Dversion and have 4.936c, (reg)......have a CH yoke and Saitek pedals and two quadrants...........problem is I have to re calibrate the quadrants every time I start P3D, and on the quad 2, the first two levers go from min 16, 255 up to 0, then jump to max -16,255, whereas all the other four go full min to max, evenly.........(after calibrating ) fitst in the P3D settigs, no commands are set there, but the controller is checked..........(I do this so I can use the hatswich andn yoke buttons).........then I go to the FSUIPC assignments and set each lever, then calibrate again..........but the Prop2 and mix 1 do not follow the other prop or mix lever..........I have pulled the USB plugs and reset many times, but still does not hold.........this is only in P3D, when I use FSX, they were working like a charm, after calibrating......any thoughts to fis this.............thanks!!!!              B42L8

Saitek axes jumping idle to max seem to be a frequent problem, and related to Registry settings I think. Check the Saitek support forum. If it isn't that it must be dial assignment, probably in P3D as well as FSUIPC.

 

 fitst in the P3D settigs, no commands are set there, but the controller is checked..........(I do this so I can use the hatswich andn yoke buttons)

 

Bad idea to have controllers enabled in P3D if you assign in FSUIPC. You can calibrate in FSUIPC even if you assign in P3D. You can also assign the hat and buttons in FSUIPC, so I've no idea why you'd risk enabling controllers in both. 

 

 

.........then I go to the FSUIPC assignments and set each lever, then calibrate again..........but the Prop2 and mix 1 do not follow the other prop or mix lever..........I have pulled the USB plugs and reset many times, but still does not hold.........this is only in P3D, when I use FSX, they were working like a charm, after calibrating

 

 

 

There is absolutely no difference between FSX and P3D in FSUIPC in this area. The code is the same code, exactly, and it is doing exactly the same things.

 

So, assuming it isn't just a result of your enabling controllers in P3D, which it could be, either there is something preventing FSUIPC writing the results back to its INI file (in the Modules folder), or something else is going on in P3D. Check the Modules folder. Are the LOG and INI files being updated each session? They should be.

 

If you disable controllers in P3D is it then okay? Conversely, if you assign in P3D is it then okay?

thanks for the questions, been out of town till now, so just getting back into P3D.............re the hatswitch, I do not have this switch enabled in the FSUIPC button assignments, only in P3D, (CH seems to work more accurate on this switch) and I did the same setup in FSX, so just trying to duplicate.  And I deleted any assignments to other buttons and lever axis in P3D that are assigned in fsuipc.................I will re assign and report back..............B42L8

log says I have 4.936c

OK, unchecked the P3D controls, and used the FSUIPC button assignments, BUT, there are so many options, pan, view, toggle, etc.......I am trying to follow the old Samuri steps, but even that is hard t follow.............so question, is there a list of CH yoke default  names of the assignments that correspond to those is FSUIPC??...got the hatswich (I think), but having trouble getting the same views on yoke buttons 9 thru 12 , in FSUIPC......thanks, B42L8

The names of FS controls listed by FSUIPC are the names assigned by FS itself. FSUIPC knows nothing about them. You either need to try them and see, or just enable FSUIPC's Event logging (in the logging tab), then use the same controls on the keyboard and see which ones are sent. If you (temporarily) run FS in Windowed mode you can use the Console Log (another option on the Logging tab) to see the logging in real time on screen.

Making progress, deleted the ini file and redid all the assifnments, left the P3D contol unchecked, but left buttons 9 to 12 assifned to the CH yoke,(all other deleted)...........checked the assignments in FSUIPC and calibrated...and so far, the controls remain in place when starting P3D.....not sure tis is a correct solution, but so far it seems to be working!!...........PS, the logging showed the buttons were responding  but the numbers were one digit off from the CH map??...............B42L8
