:oops: :oops: :oops: Embarrassed, that is how i feel now. All settings were Ok, i added the line in FS9.cfg (it wasn't there in FS2002 !) and things still didn't work. Than i checked the sensitivity dialog and BINGO: sensitivity set to zero for all axes on the sidewinder. This is a big OOPS and sorry from me. Thanx Pete, everything working fine now ! Prepare for the worst as i will be back, i've got some 15+ buttons and switches to program now.... :wink: cAs

Thanx Pete , for you quick and very complete reply ! I will try your tips later this day, and will report back on my findings here. Most things you said are already done, but i will follow the whole sequence again just to make sure. cAs

Hi, i've been a FSUIPC user since you started it, enjoying its evergrowing functions for years now. I was glad to register when you went payware, installed FS2004 when it hit the stores and found out my home made cockpit thingy didn't work properly. Some personal reasons made me move out of the FS hobby for a year but now i'm back. Ready to explore FS2004 and enjoy to the max. I tried to set my gear up, but still i can't get it to operate. Let me explain: I build a little addon based around two USB devices, one Sidewinder joystick, one gamepad (buttons). I am able to use all buttons on the two devices but not the axis's on the sidewinder. Not anymore, in FS2002 they worked OK. In searching on these forums i found a tip to reset the axis in FSUIPC, but still no fix. Strange thing is that after re-assigning them in FS2004, they influence the default settings of the assigned controls (putting the flaps indicator at 10 degrees, and elevator trim to the center position instead of take-off pos). So some input is recieved, but turning the controls doesn't do anything. All other controls and devices i use work out right, and in FS2002 it all works fine. Sorry if this problem was reported before, it is difficult to do a forum search on this problem ! Can you get me going ? Thanx ! cAs
