I'm trying to help my father set up FSUIPC to assign alphanumeric key codes to his three CH Prodcuts control devices, FIghterstick, ProPedals, and Throttle Quad, becuase he unplugs his deivces after flying and they keep being assigned new numbers, thus negating all the buttopn and axcis assignments we applied. We followed the instructions in the User Guide for FSUIPC and edited the .ini file to change the Joystick ID's to the letters J, P and T, to look like this:
[JoyNames]
AutoAssignLetters=No
J=CH FIGHTERSTICK USB
T=CH THROTTLE QUADRANT
P=CH PRO PEDALS USB
The problem is it doesnt work. THe next time we start FSX, the .ini file changes to look like this:
[JoyNames]
AutoAssignLetters=No
J=CH FIGHTERSTICK USB
T=CH THROTTLE QUADRANT
P=CH PRO PEDALS USB
0=CH FIGHTERSTICK USB
1=CH THROTTLE QUADRANT
2=CH PRO PEDALS USB
Any ideas or help would be appreciated. We are both getting pretty frustrated.
THanks
