I think this explains what I was seeing. And full disclosure time. Being the IT guy that I am, I actually have a Bitbucket repo for flight sim stuff from the past. I just went back and looked at the old fsuipc4.ini file, and sure enough both the number and letter versions were there. Memory fades after a number of years. 😉 Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the reply John. I must be missing something, but I'm confused why each controller appears to be listed twice. For example: 0=Flight Rudder Pedals 0.GUID={18D27450-CA51-11EC-8006-444553540000} A=Flight Rudder Pedals A.GUID={18D27450-CA51-11EC-8006-444553540000} I'm guessing that the numbered entries will stay around even if I assign my own letters, but it was confusing me for a bit. And I wanted to assign my own letters just to make it easier to track button assignments (when I used FSUIPC in the past, I had MANY assignments, and having custom letters made it easier to manage things when manually editing the ini file). And (unlike many people it seems ;-) ) I've actually read both the entire user guide and advanced user guide several times. Lots of good stuff in those! So I did try adding AutoAssignLetters=No in the [JoyNames] section but it appeared to be misbehaving (the reason you didn't see that in the ini file I attached is that I intentionally created a new very basic one to keep from muddying the waters on the letters issue I posted). I'll do a test on that after work today, and if it's still acting odd, I'll do another post with what I find.

I just recently purchased FSUIPC7 (I was also an avid user in the 4.x days, but I haven't been doing flight sim again until now). I'm having an odd issue and could use some help. I'm getting duplicate entries in the [JoyNames] section of the fsuipc.ini file. To test it, I deleted the ini file and ran MSFS again. Immediately after that (without doing anything else), this is what my [JoyNames] section looks like: [JoyNames] 0=Flight Rudder Pedals 0.GUID={18D27450-CA51-11EC-8006-444553540000} 1=3Dconnexion KMJ Emulator 1.GUID={316C21A0-BA0E-11EA-8009-444553540000} 2=LEFT VPC Throttle MT-50CM3 2.GUID={24B62590-D6BE-11EC-8004-444553540000} 3=RIGHT VPC Stick MT-50CM2 3.GUID={EC16CBD0-D6BE-11EC-8008-444553540000} 4=F16 MFD 1 4.GUID={09885E40-CBD4-11EC-8008-444553540000} A=Flight Rudder Pedals A.GUID={18D27450-CA51-11EC-8006-444553540000} B=3Dconnexion KMJ Emulator B.GUID={316C21A0-BA0E-11EA-8009-444553540000} C=LEFT VPC Throttle MT-50CM3 C.GUID={24B62590-D6BE-11EC-8004-444553540000} D=RIGHT VPC Stick MT-50CM2 D.GUID={EC16CBD0-D6BE-11EC-8008-444553540000} E=F16 MFD 1 E.GUID={09885E40-CBD4-11EC-8008-444553540000} I'm also having troubles getting AutoAssignLetters=No to cooperate (I set that option but additional copies of each device get added to [JoyNames] with the letters originally chosen by the app), but one thing at a time. In looking at the console output at startup, it's correctly detecting only one instance of each device. This is a registered copy that I purchased about one week ago. I've tried it with various different aircraft including both stock and add-on with the same results. I've attached the log, joyscan, and ini files. Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide! FSUIPC7.log FSUIPC7.ini FSUIPC7.JoyScan.csv
