In response to your questions: (1) A2A has a unique joystick configuration tool for each of their aircraft. The tool allows one to assign a joystick axis for unique functions in each plane. In the case of the P-47, there is boost lever that you use to adjust the amount of boost supplied by a virtual supercharger (turbocharger?). Any way, I posted this same message on the A2A website. I am pretty certain that something is going on with the A2A planes, but I thought I would check here as well. (2) The version of FSUIPC I installed is the one that is available on the FSUIPC main page (FSUIPC4 4.853). Where can I obtain the version you referenced in your post? (3) The thread I referred to in my email was started on June 30, 2012 by "abh jc 03." I've printed the page as a "pdf" file that I can send to you. (4) Tonight, I removed and reinstalled FSX acceleration again. A could again assign planes to profiles, until I loaded the B-17, and the problem started all over again. What follows is the contents of my fsuipc.ini file. If you look under the last heading labeled "Profile.Twin Engine Jet Fighter" you will see an entry for "1=" with no aircraft title following. This is my last attempt to assign a plane to this profile, but, as I noted, FSUIPC removed the check mark and would not let me assign the plane. Thanks for your help. Mike Gutierrez
