It is interesting that 'cmgam' can't configure his Saitek Yoke. I have Vista/64 and the Saitek drivers will not install (and Saitek cannot help)
I am using the Microsoft Vista Default driver, which recognizes all the Axes and buttons. With FSUIPC, I can at least keep flying.!!
And my question is nearly the same as his. Saitek Yoke & single Throttle Quadrant.
I cannot figure out how to set the 'Reverser' on the throttle (pulling the all the way down - then pressing down to activate the switch)
I also cannot figure out how to set the 'Feather' on the propeller (again, pull all the way down - then press down to activate the switch)
I've read the manual (about 6 times now) but must be missing something
Best regards

I've just re-read my question, and can see how I confused you. (reading it here....just confused the daylights outta me !!)
In FS/x / Controls - I disabled X/Y axis and X/Y/Z rotations.....So FSUIPC would have control of them
And, I disabled the joystick completely in FS/x !! Now that I am beginning to get some understanding of FSUIPC - I used it to
configure all the buttons & switches.
Just one 'button' will not work. Red button on the yoke right hand (Saitek #2...FSUIPC #1) "Next View". But I'm sure with patience
I will sort it out.
Thank you for writing FSUIPC - without it, I wouldn't be flying !!

MS Vista Home Premium /64 - FS/x (acceleration) - FSUIPC 4.5 - Saitek ProFlight Yoke & Throttle Quadrant combo
I am having a similar issue.
Firstly, the Saitek Drivers will NOT install in my system (and we can't figure out why) all were removed from oem.inf / System32 /syswow64 & registry. So back to default Microsoft driver on boot up.
Please remember I'm totally green at FSUIPC, but it didn't take long to figure out some things. And thanks to FSUIPC - I am able to fly !!
'Sometimes' I get aileron 'in and out' and sometimes I don't (Weird - I figure it's Vista) I manually typed the numbers into fsuipc.ini
If I DISABLE joystick in FS/x (think I read that in the instructions) it doesn't work at all. So I disabled the X/Y Axis and X/Y/Z rotations -
re-calibrating them in FSUIPC. The only issue is a slight drift/yaw to the right.....
Have I missed something ?
Thanks for your patience with me

Thank you for the answer, I will persevere (sp) with the settings. I finally figured out why one plane kept 'yawing/pitching'.....it has dual controls !!
I finally used "set 1 & set 2" for throttle, mixture, prop. (as Homer Simpson says......DOH!!)
(And to the poster who suggested assigning "F2" to the switch.....I had tried that, and it doesn't work. At least not for me)
Again, thanks for the awesome program !!
