  1. Hi,

     

    So here I am again, one year later and still not using FSUIPC for the assignments.  :-)

     

    I guess my main interest was in the key commands, not in the axes, so I abandoned the idea for some time. But now I have LINDA and, oh boy, she's really beautiful!

     

    With LINDA I got all my key commands mapped for each aircraft, including my MCP Combo and Switch Panel. Now I'm ready for the axes!

     

    Just before I start, just wanted to get a thumbs up from you about my JoyNames section. I enabled the AutoAssignLetters option as per the instructions above, but I notice each controller is shown twice, with letters and numbers assignments. Is this correct or is it old garbage? Should I delete something?

     

    [JoyNames]
    AutoAssignLetters=Yes
    A=Saitek Aviator Stick
    A.GUID={01A1B850-1D49-11E2-8001-444553540000}
    B=Saitek Pro Flight Yoke
    B.GUID={101FDA10-1070-11E1-8002-444553540000}
    C=Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals

  2. Hi Volker,

     

    I apologize for not having posted the specs of my system, as requested in your first post. I skiped that because further down in that doc you made clear you don't support registration issues, so I turned to SimMarket. Here is the info requested:

     

    1. FSX

    2. FSUIPC 4.90 / no WideFS

    3. FSC v9.4 - Build 2013-11-22 / Database Manager v9.4 Net - Build 2013-11-15

    4. Downloaded version from FSC website (registration acquired from SimMarket)

    5. OS Windows 7/64 bits

     

    I'm sure I'm not doing any mistakes when entering the registration key. Have done it several times now, copy&pasting and even manually. I have also checked all the points listed in the file you referred to:

     

    . Item I is my case, with the "incorrect data" message. I'm sure the name is correct and, as said, it used to work before with v9.0.

    . Item II is not my case, the registration is never successful. My FSC is installed in a folder in the root of C: drive where I concentrate all my FSX related add-ons. Neither the FSC folder nor any sub-folder or file under it is marked as read-only. The register.fsc file exists in the FSC main folder.

     

    I'll now follow your last instruction in the doc and send you a mail with my registration information, as requested.

     

    Many thanks for your support!

    Dear Volker,

     

    I've already contacted SimMarket's support. They guarantee the key is valid and, indeed, it has been working for the last 2 years with a v9.0. Now that I uninstalled it and installed the new v9.4, the registration window keeps saying that the data is invalid.

     

    They have directed me to your support forum, while you direct me back to them. Now I'm stuck in the middle of this blame game with an FSC that I can't register. Would you be so kind to help me to find a solution, between the two of you? I can provide a screenshot of the registration window if you need it and allow me to send it on a private message.

     

    I appreciate your help.

  4. Hi,

     

    I downloaded the full v9.4, since I was still in v9.0 and couldn't find an upgrade from one to the ohter. I uninstalled the previous version and installed the new one. When trying to register it, and I know where to do it, I got a message that the registration failed and the data was incorrect. It's the same registration data that I was using for v9.0, so I believe it should work for v9.4, right?

     

    Any idea what could be wrong?

     

    Thanks,

  5. Hi Pete,

    Thanks a lot for your comprehensive reply. Sounds like a good idea to start with a basic set of assignments to be used to create the specific Profiles later. I'll give it a try, but I have a few more questions below...

    On the latter point, I think your assignments are all saved in any case. You don't actually need to de-assign anything, just disable controllers. One switch, on or off!

    Ok, that works fine for the controllers, but how about the keyboard assignments? Let's say I need the key "K" to do something in one aircraft and something else in another. I assume I'd then need to de-assign it in FSX and use the Profiles in FSUIPC to assign it to different functions, right? That was the question... should I simply delete all keyboard assignments in FSX and redo only the really necessary ones in FSUIPC? Won't there be conflicts between FSUIPC and FSX if I don't do so? Or FSUIPC intercept the key strokes first?

    Another thing, is it possible to use multiple keyboards (in FSX or FSUIPC). Are the keyboards treated as controllers?

    In the [JoyNames] section:

    AutoAssignLetters=Yes

    The latter will make FSUIPC use letters (A, B, C, etc) for your attached controls instead of their Windows ID numbers, and this will be safer if you ever unplug them or move them.

    I hope this one really works because I don't have an "exclusive" FSX PC, which forces me to plug and unplug all devices every time I fly in the "home" PC. My wife would kill me if I didn't do so! :smile: Is this still ok?

    Thanks again,

    Marconi

  6. Hi all,

    I have a joystick, a yoke, pedals, two different throttles and a couple more hardware that use keymapping to emulate MCP, EFIS, radios and even the FMC. I use these to fly 3 or 4 different aircraft, from a Baron58 to a 737-800. Of course, I'm getting tired of having to change the FSX assignments every time I want to fly a different combination of aircraft and hardware. So, maybe it's time to take the final step and convert everything to FSUIPC...

    I've always had a payed copy of FSUIPC, but never really used it for much more than a few tweaks and to enable the add-ons. Regarding assignments, I just use a few keymaps that were missing to fully use my MCP with one of my jets. To be honest, I'm scared to delete all key assingments and axis from FSX and start configuring everything in FSUIPC!

    The different options and technique is well described in the manuals, but my question is how to really plan the system as a whole. Do you really start by deleting everything from FSX? Is this really the right scenario for FSUIPC to take control over all my 4 different aircraft and they're specific usage of each hardware? Is there a way to backup FSX assignments, just in case I regret down the way?

    As I said, I just need a final push and would appreciate to read your experiences and tips about it.

    Thanks,

    Marconi
