Hi Pete,
First off, allow me to compliment you for your great work. I have used FSUIPC to assign and calibrate all axis and buttons of my Go-Flight rudder pedals, my CH yoke and my CH throttle quadrant. Works like a charm (after a week of head banging, cursing and despair :P ).
Here's my question: I've done aircraft specific axis and button assignments and axis calibrations for my PMDG 737-800 Virtual Cockpit aircraft, in Virtual Pilot Association livery. Obviously, I have many other liveries for this same aircraft. When I load this aircraft in my FS9 with any of the other liveries, however, FSUIPC does not recognize that as the same aircraft, hence my aircraft specific assignments do not load. I tried editing the FSIUPC.ini file by copy/pasting the sections that are applicable to my Virtual Pilot Association-livery, and then changing the name of the pasted sections to match the target livery, but that doesn't appear to work either. (in fact, though it's been a few days since I fiddled with it, I seem to remember that it did work for the axis, but not for the buttons.)
Additional info: joystics in FS are disabled. Everything is handled through FSUIPC.
I searched this forum before asking, but to my surprise I couldn't find anything on this issue (I can't imagine that I'm the first one to try and use aircraft specific settings on different liveries of the same aircraft). Maybe my searching was just not good enough though.
Any ideas how this can be overcome? Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer.
