alpha117

Hi all I'm currently using the latest version(registered). I remember that a few versions ago, not sure which release it was; FSUIPC was reconnecting USB devices if they became 'disconnected' for what ever reason. This was great for me as during a flight (FSX) my Saitek X52 stopped working; I had to remove the device by un plugging it then plugging it back in again, then going into FSUIPC and 'reloading the buttons' When the version with this 'auto' re-connect' came out I never had any more dis-connection issues. Now it seems it does not work and I'm back to 'dis-connection' issues with my X52. Does the latest FSUIPC still have the functionality or have I missed something? Many Thanks Clive (Alpha117)

Paul, Yep, thats the one. I've downloaded he latest drivers and software and it now works just great as a mouse wheel trim Thanks Clive

Hi Pete Works Ok with the normal mouse but not on my controller. Using windows games controller setting, the mouse works OK in the properties window. How do I get it to work as the 'mouse trim' Regards Clive

just 'profiled' another aircraft from another profile and made changes to the new profile. Hey this is easy when you know how :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Worked perfect first time. Now have generic and buttons and axis assigned to profiles. Everything works as stated Many Thanks

I will wait for the next update and try again :oops:

So is this valid : [JoyNames] AutoAssignLetters=No 0=Saitek X52 Flight Controller 0.GUID={E0184170-C2B5-11E0-8002-444553540000} [buttons] ButtonRepeat=20,10 1=R0,3,K35,8 2=R0,2,K36,8 3=P0,8,K190,10 4=R0,14,K190,8 5=P0,6,K66,8 6=P0,19,K117,8 7=P0,21,K118,8 8=P0,5,K71,8 9=R0,10,K78,8 10=R0,11,K77,8 11=P0,1,K90,8 [Axes] 0=0X,256,D,1,0,0,0 1=0Y,256,D,2,0,0,0 2=0Z,256,D,4,0,0,0 3=0U,256,D,5,0,0,0 4=0V,256,D,3,0,0,0 5=0S,256,D,6,0,0,0 [Profile.C337] 1=C337 Skymaster RED [Axes.C337] 0=0X,256,D,1,0,0,0 1=0Y,256,D,2,0,0,0 2=0Z,256,D,4,0,0,0 3=0U,256,D,5,0,0,0 4=0V,256,D,3,0,0,0 5=0S,256,D,6,0,0,0 [buttons.C337] 2=R0,2,K36,8 10=R0,11,K77,8

So back to one of my original questions can assignments appears both in 'Generic' and 'profile'

I also fully understand that theres are 'Generic' assignments which will apply across all aircraft [JoyNames] AutoAssignLetters=No 0=Saitek X52 Flight Controller 0.GUID={E0184170-C2B5-11E0-8002-444553540000} [buttons] ButtonRepeat=20,10 1=R0,3,K35,8 2=R0,2,K36,8 3=P0,8,K190,10 4=R0,14,K190,8 5=P0,6,K66,8 6=P0,19,K117,8 7=P0,21,K118,8 8=P0,5,K71,8 9=R0,10,K78,8 10=R0,11,K77,8 11=P0,1,K90,8 [Axes] 0=0X,256,D,1,0,0,0 1=0Y,256,D,2,0,0,0 2=0Z,256,D,4,0,0,0 3=0U,256,D,5,0,0,0 4=0V,256,D,3,0,0,0 5=0S,256,D,6,0,0,0

hi Pete 6. OPen up FSUIPC 7. Selected button and switches tab 8. Pressed already assigned button 9. clicked in profile specific white box 10. selected new from dropdown 11. Typed in C337 in box 12. Clicked OK 13. Profile specfic? now has tick in box 14. Clicked OK 15. Back in cockpit..rechecked ALL axes and buttons. All still work OK Carried out 6-15 for another button. No problems at the end of this stage I had assigned TWO buttons to the C337 profile, but NO axes therefore: [Profile.C337] 1=C337 Skymaster RED [Axes.C337] 0=0X,256,D,1,0,0,0 1=0Y,256,D,2,0,0,0 2=0Z,256,D,4,0,0,0 3=0U,256,D,5,0,0,0 4=0V,256,D,3,0,0,0 5=0S,256,D,6,0,0,0 why no buttons assigned to profile, but axes have been

been flying around, everything works just great, buttons, rotaries and axes; are a dream and much more responsive. But......no profiles used :cry:

I'm going to reassign my buttons and leave it at that, until you come back to me Pete later on today. If you want me to check anything then let me know Clive

Started again, deleted all references to joystick and buttons from ini file :???: Just added axes, checked out OK. Went to check ini file and it had added [buttons] ButtonRepeat=20,10 Why's that and what does it do?

Just shutdown FSX Reloaded backup ini file. Booted FSX Now FSUIPC doesn't find joystick, still plugged into same USB FSX sees it OK

Morning Pete What a night! Here we go. 1. Back up ini file...done 2. Joystick plugged into same USB.....Checked 3. Stared FSX 4. Carried out cockpit checks on All axes and button assignments from last night. All work OK 6. OPen up FSUIPC 7. Selected button and switches tab 8. Pressed already assigned button 9. clicked in profile specific white box 10. selected new from dropdown 11. Typed in C337 in box 12. Clicked OK 13. Profile specfic? now has tick in box 14. Clicked OK 15. Back in cockpit..rechecked ALL axes and buttons. All still work OK Carried out 6-15 for another button. No problems a. Opened Up FSUIPC b. Clicked axsis assignment tab c. Moved axsis (Ailerons) Profile specific? box greyed out and already tick in white box again greyed out. Will not allow you to 'untick it' d. Clicked cancel rechecked assignments, now only have throttle working. Also noticed that FSX was in pause mode this time.

just added more key assignments whilst flying, and everything is still spot on. If only I can get the profiles to work

I know, I couldn't let it go. So I deleted everything in the ini file that referred to joystick/buttons. Rebooted This is now what I have [JoyNames] AutoAssignLetters=No 0=Saitek X52 Flight Controller 0.GUID={E0184170-C2B5-11E0-8002-444553540000} [buttons] ButtonRepeat=20,10 1=R0,3,K35,8 2=R0,2,K36,8 3=P0,8,K190,10 4=R0,14,K190,8 5=P0,6,K66,8 [Axes] 0=0X,256,D,1,0,0,0 1=0Y,256,D,2,0,0,0 2=0U,256,D,5,0,0,0 3=0V,256,D,3,0,0,0 4=0S,256,D,6,0,0,0 Everthing works as before this started, ie buttons and axis assigned and ALL working, BUT no profile created. Also there is no [JoystickCalibration] section in this ini file? See post above. I also noticed that if you move the joystick to a different USB and reboot etc, then FSUIPC did not find the joystick until I deleted the [joynames] section. rebooted etc and we are now back to square one but no profiles created. Anyway, not going to do anymore tonight, will try and create profiles in the morning

Upate (2320hrs UK) Ok, no luck at all, will not even see the X52 after you assign the throttle. It will then not allow me to assign anything at all. I will try again in the morning

Pete, Nope, now have another issue, as soon as you assign anything to a profile, now what happens it losses axes, this time except for throttle. Then it will not allow you to realign axes, elevator etc. The boxes are greyed out. I've attached the joystick part of the ini file, if this is of any help. I will delete the profile part from the file and start again. Every thing seemed to be OK, until you try and set buttons to profiles [JoystickCalibration] AllowSuppressForPFCquad=Yes ExcludeThrottleSet=Yes ExcludeMixtureSet=Yes ExcludePropPitchSet=Yes SepRevsJetsOnly=No ApplyHeloTrim=No UseAxisControlsForNRZ=No FlapsSetControl=0 FlapDetents=No ReverserControl=66292 Reverser1Control=66422 Reverser2Control=66425 Reverser3Control=66428 Reverser4Control=66431 MaxThrottleForReverser=256 AileronTrimControl=66731 RudderTrimControl=66732 CowlFlaps1Control=66162 CowlFlaps2Control=66163 CowlFlaps3Control=66164 CowlFlaps4Control=66165 SteeringTillerControl=0 MaxSteerSpeed=60 Throttle=-16380,16380 Flaps=0,16380 Mixture=-16380,16380/16 [Profile.C337] 1=C337 Skymaster RED [Axes] 0=0X,256,D,2,0,0,0 [Axes.C337] 0=0X,256,D,1,0,0,0 1=0Y,256,D,2,0,0,0 2=0Z,256,D,4,0,0,0 3=0U,256,D,5,0,0,0 4=0S,256,D,6,0,0,0 Thanks Clive

Many thanks

FSX shutdown; awaiting new build :mrgreen:

no problem, thought it was me being a muppet :razz: Clive

Shall I post the ini file?

...continue Selected another button and ticked the assign to profile, this no options just did it. Back into cockpit test second button OK, but now have no axis controls :cry: again non assigned buttons still work OK, again it has lost its axis settings
