Woopsiedaysie, my bad for overlooking the obvious .... :oops: Thanks for your reply !

Exactly what I was looking for ! You're a genious, big thanks. May I be so free to ask how you did find out these lua paramater commands ? Is it by trial and error, or is there some easier way to determine the parameter values ? Just asking cause I'm a beginning FSUIPC user and this knowledge might be interesting to have to make scripts myself for other aircrafts. Thanks. TJ

Thanks for the fast reply Pete !

Hey Pete, first of all, let start by saying I just recently bought FSUIPC, and loving it all the way so far. One question I have, which I have not been able to find the solution for (forgive me if it's obvious or stated in the manual, but if it is, I overlooked it). I have assigned my generic joystick buttons as non-profile specific settings. By generic, I mean buttons that I use for most aircraft. Now I've bought the A2A spitfire, and it comes with it's own tool for mapping non-standard-fsx functions to certain buttons, and I'd like to use that tool specifically for this aircraft, as it'll save me the headache of programming them through the FSUIPC ini file. What I'd like to do now is, in a profile-specific button settings section for the Spitfire (I already set UseProfiles to Yes and created a spitfire profile) I'd like to UNASSIGN certain buttons that are used in my "generic" settings. So basically, I want these buttons to do NOTHING when I press on them (since I will be setting them with the A2A custom tool). But this is were I'm stuck, cause I don't know how to assign a "blank" command to a button in FSUIPC. Cause obviously, when I don't assign that button at all in the profile-specific section, it takes the command set in the generic button section, but this is not what I want. Could you please help me out here ? Thanks and best regards, Mathieu

Ok Pete thanks for the tip and fast reply ! I'll give it a go

Hey all, please forgive my ignorance on the matter, but I'm a beginning FSX enthousiast, and making my first steps out of the default FSX install and into 3rd party software. I've read fantastic comments about FSUIPC and also WideFS, and I'm interested in using it to run FSC v8.6 on a separate laptop. Now, I am the "try-before-you-buy" type of guy, and I have not bought any of the three yet, and the reason why I'm posting here is to ask if it is possible to try out this configuration before spending my money ? I mean, I know FSC will run for 35 minutes in shareware mode, so I know I can try that out. I've read in the FSUIPC documentation that you can use FSUIPC unregistered, with some limitations. However, I did not find information about using WideFS unregistered along with FSUIPC (unregistered). So the question is: can I tryout the combo FSC v8.6, FSUIPC and WideFS unregistered between my laptop and sim-rig to see if it fits my needs ? If it does, I'll of course proceed to registration. If this is not the right place for this type of question, I apologize... Best regards, TJ
