Thanks for your immense help to a tiny problem, I understand and will heed your advice for one system, and maybe try the fix for the other sim.

Another thing I thought of at lunch. I have my axis assigned as follows, X=Elevator, Y= Ailerons, Z= Rudder, R= Nothing (but shows up), U=N/A (this one does not recognize), V=Throttle. So "U" does not show-up. I have another sim set up at home, with a Saitek X45 as well. When I get home I will see if the problem replicates on the other system. Thanks for your help.

Thank-you for responding Peter. I chose to change my configuration for two reasons, First, the never ending quest for optimized performance while utilizing this powerful tool to it's more full potential. Second, I could not get the feel of the elevator trim just right using the dial with just the FS sliders, so I thought I might get more "control" ability. In my previous config. it seems that no matter what I tried, the elev. trim seems too sensitive. Now using a different axis as the trim (with FSUIPC "direct" and using v axis), it has a more correct feel. By feel I mean that before, I could not use the full range of the dial, I would turn it just a degree either way and get full stroke from the elevator trim. I tried so many configs. in FS before attempting to just assign axis direct. Any suggestions? Also could you elaborate on the special use for helicopters?I do not understand what you mention in the manuals. I rarely sim with them but have begun to use them more along with V-22 Osprey, and my current sim sits inside a discarded UH-1 Cockpit Section. Soon the FO side will have the helo controls active.

Greetings all. First off thank-you very much to Peter Dowson for this powerful tool he has created. Tonight, I decided to use Peter Dowsons FS Module to it's fuller potential, assigning joystick functions, axis, buttons, etc. After reading through the manual, and attempting what I am about to describe with V3.7, I went to his support forum, performed a search and updated to V3.75. I was successful with assigning all buttons, switches, and axis save for the "dial" axis, (thumbwheel designated dial by the Windows calibration screen). I wanted to use it for elevator trim. I am using a Saitek X45. The functions have all worked before, while using the FS Controls, and while simply using the FSUIPC Joystick Calibration. The joystick is disabled, it has been calibrated through the control panel and I have read the updated manual. the one anomlay is this, after the initial observance of the axis not registering in the Axis Assignments page, I went around the different menus to disable any "conflict" I noticed that some values were "stuck" in the values window of the Joystick Calibration screen, "Elevator Trim". After pressing the "Reset" button, the values remained, and after pressing the same button, now showing "Set", the values did not change. I have shut down the program several times. Any suggestions Captains? :?:
