It works, thank you very much Peter, I did confirm that I had the same problem with the FSX control panel, but if I set FSX to control the left and right brakes, and make sure that the FSUIPC controls are unassigned, when I restart FSX, it works. but now I have the FSX controls disabled, and FSUIPC looking after my yoke, which is how I had it before, which is the way I prefer to have it as its a good deal smother, especially with the thottle. I'm interested to know what changed, because I thought it was the same version of FSUIPC? thanks for your help, we got there in the end, :) Ian

Ok, lets see, the buttons are buttons on the yoke, not axies, I assigned the buttons in FSUIPC and ticked the repeat while held box, I was just refering to the brake axis assignment section on the FSUIPC calibration page, and asking if I had to do anything with that, just in case it was a factor. I've reset my settings, the same way as I set them before, I have the guide. when I say momentarily I mean, they only work once, for about 2 milliseconds then don't work again, no matter how much I press them. I can get the brakes to work if I use the brake option rather than the Brake left or Brake right option. I'm thinking it may be a problem in an FSX file somewhere maybe. thanks sorry for the confusion

sorry peter, I am reading your suggestions, yes I am checking the repeating option, I went through the CH yoke setup guide that is avaliable. and no I didn't mean assignment, as the brakes, as you rightly pointed out are axis type and therefore have a min/max for when one is using a pedal/lever or whatever. but I was just asking you to confirm weather or not I should do anything with the settings on the calibration page that are available . I thought I needed to reinstall FSUIPC because I've just added Radar Contact and it was crashing, and I was troubleshooting that problem. This brake problem has subsequently happened and thats when I deleted my FSUIPC files from the modules folder (which I pointed out in my original post) I am not sure how I had it working before it just set up the way I'm trying to get it to work now. all I can get to work now is the brake assignment, that will assign to a button, but the brake left and brake right work momentarily then stop. I appreciate your help, and I assure you I am following your suggestions.

Thank you both for that, I am confused because I had it working perfectly before and now it doesn't work. I've tried assigning the buttons in FS and not in FSUIPC, and vice versa, I'm assuming I shouldn't/can't calibrate the buttons in FSUIPC so just leave the values blank right? as I said, I've disabled the FS control completely, I just want FSUIPC handling my controls, and again, it was working fine before I re installed FSUIPC, so not sure what the issue is. point taken about the pedals, but I don't have them, so the buttons work/ed fine. any other ideas? Many thanks Ian

Hi all, I'm having a slight issue, I have the full registered version of FSUIPC both wide and single machine, and I've just reinstalled and now my CH yoke buttons don't work properly. the yoke, levers, flaps/gear work fine, but the red buttons work for a split second then stop. I have the left and right brake assigned to the left and right buttons on either side of the yoke handle. I've completely removed the FSUIPC files from the modules folder and reinstalled the program from scratch, re assigned the axis and button assignments but the same happens. when I press the brake left or right, the little red brake box appears for a split second then they stop working. I can still use the keyboard though. this happens on all the AC I use not just the PMDG, but that's the one where seperate brakes are most useful. any ideas peeps. Many thanks Ian

ah ha, yes thank you Pete, I think the phrase is Doh! cheers Ian

Hi all, this is my first post, I have a slight problem with calibrating my CH yoke. wonder if you've come across it and can offer any solutions. I'm using the FSX SP2 on vista 64 and I have a fully registered version of FSUIPC 4. the problem occurs when I try to calibrate the Ailearons, when I turn the yoke to the right, and click the set button on for the Max column, all the boxs for the ailearon assignments populate with that number (1684 or something like that). has anyone come accross this? all the others seem to calibrate ok? Mnay thanks Ian K
