Hello Sirs,
I have recently purchased the PMDG 777, after having the 737 for a number of months. I have a registered copy of FSUIPC6, and have used it with the 737 very satisfactorily since the beginning. I have had a problem with the 777, though. It appears as though I have a conflict that I can't seem to figure out, where many of the buttons and switches in the 777 stop working when I assign them through FSUIPC. I can assign the trims, and that works. But somewhere while assigning axis for yoke control or throttle control, a large number of switches and buttons and rotary controls cease to function. I can't even release the brakes unless through the keyboard. I haven't seen any similar issues in the forums I perused before posting my question, but if the issue has been dealt with, I would really appreciate a pointer or two!
If not, I will continue with my symptoms. The problem persists with any aircraft (of the 777 variant) that I assign the custom made profile to, so I went to the .ini file and deleted not only the created profiles related to the PMDG B777 (all variants) but their subsequent controller configurations, and reloaded the sim (P3Dv4.5), whereupon all switches, buttons, and rotary knobs operated. I started with a new profile, assigned trim controls, checked whether any other controls were affected, and found everything worked (still). I tried adding axis and reverser control, and I lost all the button, switch, and rotary knob controls as before. Is there something I'm missing?
My controllers are thus:
Saitek Flight Yoke system, two Saitek throttle quadrants, Saitek Multi panel and Saitek Switch panel. I have SPAD for the Switch and Multi panels, but have not activated them for the B777 yet, I was slowly integrating items as I became more familiar with the aircraft (but that hasn't happened yet!). Any help would be appreciated!
Sincerely,
Jim Cruse
