  1. I just stumbled on this as the way to get my mouse look working, using the search facility really does pay off ! :grin: What I've ended up with is that in FSX I've enabled the controllers but deleted all button and axis assignments, and fsuipc is doing all the work detecting and smoothing the inputs. I have also mapped my controllers GUIDs to joy letters, and the axes are mapped in fsuipc to the letters rather than to controller numbers. Does this largely immunise me to the risk you mentioned ? Thanks Gary Lowndes
  2. Sounds like it will take a lot of the grunt work out, what a fantastic piece of software FSUIPC is. I can't imagine simming without it ! Thanks Gary
  3. Hi Pete I've got my FSX up and running and calibrated the way I want it, can I copy the axis / button / switch / joynames sections of the .ini file straight across to my FSUIPC .ini file in FS9 when I get that back up and running or is there a bit more to it ? Thanks Gary
  4. What is the correct way to add an aircraft to a profile ? At the moment I'm assigning it to a new profile with a single custom button then editing the fsuipc.ini file to move that aircraft into the profile I want (and delete the remaining traces of the new profile). Then restart FSX and away we go It works but it's not elegant. Is there an easier way ? Thanks Gary
  5. That new version did the trick :D I now have [JoyNames] AutoAssignLetters=No Y=CH FLIGHT SIM YOKE USB Y.GUID={E70CEA70-5714-11DF-8003-444553540000} P=CH PRO PEDALS USB P.GUID={E706CFF0-5714-11DF-8002-444553540000} 1=CH FLIGHT SIM YOKE USB 1.GUID={E70CEA70-5714-11DF-8003-444553540000} 0=CH PRO PEDALS USB 0.GUID={E706CFF0-5714-11DF-8002-444553540000} [Axes] 0=PX,2292,D,7,0,0,0 1=PY,2796,D,8,0,0,0 2=PZ,1806,D,3,0,0,0 3=YX,256,D,1,0,0,0 4=YY,256,D,2,0,0,0 5=YZ,520,D,4,0,0,0 6=YU,256,D,6,0,0,0 7=YV,384,D,5,0,0,0 and confirming when I map new buttons I get the letters identifying the controller rather than the numbers. Brilliant ! Thank you Gary
  6. Thanks Pete I'm using 4.60a - I'll have a look for 4.604. There are no old settings hanging around, it's a new FSX install with no aircraft specific settings and I'd never heard of the 'profiles' feature until a few hours ago when I started reading about joynames :) What am I supposed to see in the .ini file, so that I can tell whether it's working properly ? Thanks Gary
  7. I'm going through the same discovery process, and finding the same gap - while the documentation is very good this particular part of it is pitched just slightly above the level that I can grasp without a couple of clues. I opened my fsuipc.ini file and found [JoyNames] AutoAssignLetters=No 1=CH FLIGHT SIM YOKE USB 1.GUID={E70CEA70-5714-11DF-8003-444553540000} and I simply changed the 1= and 1. to Y= and Y. to do it the preferred (manually assigned) way. Then I restarted FSX and had another look at the .ini file, and found this : [JoyNames] AutoAssignLetters=No Y=CH FLIGHT SIM YOKE USB Y.GUID={E70CEA70-5714-11DF-8003-444553540000} 1=CH FLIGHT SIM YOKE USB 1.GUID={E70CEA70-5714-11DF-8003-444553540000} (snip) [Axes] 0=1X,256,D,1,0,0,0 1=1Y,256,D,2,0,0,0 2=1Z,520,D,4,0,0,0 3=1V,384,D,5,0,0,0 So I think I've successfully assigned the letter Y to my yoke, but as far as I can see the axis assignments are still pointing at device "1" not device "Y". Do I need to do anything else now like manually changing the axis assignments from 1X 1Y etc to YX YY etc, or when the controllers (I have a TQ and pedals too but they're not in use at the moment) inevitably renumber themselves will the axis assignments change automagically to the new controller number ? Thanks Gary
