Auto Assign Joystick Letters

[English Rebel]

I know that in the User Guide I am advised to set the

 AutoAssignLetters=

to YES so that FSUIPC can keep track of the programming associated with a particular joystick.  My question is does FSUIPC keep track of the programming of the joystick if it's moved not just from one port to another -- but from one PC to another PC both running WideFS on the network?
Thanks

Alan

No. The joystick numbers MUST be different on each client because it is obviously perfectly feasible to have EXACTLY the same equipment on each. The joystick numbers are assigned with the Client number included and there's no possibility of letter assignment.

 

Only buttons, not axes, are transmitted automatically by WideClient. You'd need Lua plug-in programming to transmit axes.
