Thanks Peter, you are a champion. I will check the hat switch, although at the moment everything seems to be working perfectly, even though I've deleted Button 13 from the ini file, and every switch on the joystick is working as it should, so its a bit strange, but you've given me enough to go on. No need to reply Peter, as I see we users keep you quite busy, but thank you for taking the time. Regards Craig

Well, I have solved the problem, sort of. First, I had been running my CH controls in 'Mapped' mode. In Mapped mode, I experienced locks using the buttons menu, but did not have the 'panning up' problem. Setting the CH controls to 'direct mode' and rebooting (rebooting was important!) freed up the 'Buttons Menu' for normal use, but introduced the 'panning' problem mentioned above. After examining the log above, I went into FSUIPC4.INI and deleted button 13. I then ran FSX, reset some of the assignments that had been changed, and it all works. I still don't know what Button 13 was doing, what was triggering it etc, but all works fine. Thanks for the assistance, Regards Craig

Hi Pete, Thank you for your response, I don't know what I did, but the 'Button Tab' is no longer hanging, but I still now have the uncontrolled pan up setting. I have gone to the button tab, and clicked every button on the controllers, to make sure that one hasn't been remapped some how to pan up with a repeat etc, but everything seems to be mapped where I want it to be. I can hit eyepoint reset, but as soon as it resets the eyepoint, the scan up starts all over again. I played around with joyview again, and managed to id my 3 controllers (in Joy view. numbered from 2,3 & 4 respectively. Device #1 has no driver information, and returns no values under JoyGetPosEx(), not sure if that is significant. I have enabled logging for buttons and axis controls, and below is what I get which shows a continuos pan up button, but I'm not sure how to ID which button is being pushed.

Hi Peter, Thanks for the quick response. I've checked Game Controllers, and it only showed my three CH components (Yoke, Pedals, Throttle), and my Saitek X52. I have unplugged the Saitek controller for the moment. The Joyview program you attached doesn't show any controllers. When I run it, it shows 16 input devices, all called 'None' None of them shows any inputs when when I move any of my controllers. I was running my Ch products in 'Mapped' mode, but tried just direct mode, which worked, although for some reason the view pans up uncontrollably, and I can't seem to find out why, all other controls work as desired, so I'm not sure what is issuing the pan up command. It may be a red herring, or it may be something acting as a button causing an uncontrolled pan up? Regards Craig

Hi, I have a problem where I cannot edit controller buttons using the FSUIPC dialog box. When I open the FSUIPC settings box, I can play around with all the options, such as Axis controls etc. But when I go to the Buttons tab, FSX, and the dialogue box locks up. All of the options are greyed out. If I click a button on a controller the appropriate action shows up in the dialogue box, however in all other respects the system is non responsive. I cannot select/deselect check boxes, drop downs etc. I cannot select a different tab in FSUIPC settings, nor can I close it. Effectively once I open the buttons tab, thats it for FSX. Using Task Manager to kill FSX tells me that "FSX is awaiting a response from you." or words to that effect. I thought there might be a corrupt FSUIPC4.ini file, so I renamed it and re-ran FSX, and it automatically recreated it, but the same problem re-occured. I cannot think of what I have changed recently that would affect FSX or FSUIPC. I am running FSX SP1 with FSUIPC 4l, with CH Yoke, Pedals and Throttle and several GoFlight modules. Any pointers?
