  1. Ah, thanks for that Ian. If I ever have to do yet another reinstall of P3D, I might come back to this thread and pick your brains on that. Its certainly reassuring to know I'm not alone. Thanks again ! By the way, a bit off topic, but thanks for doing RAF East Wretham. I used to drive past it every day going from Thetford to Watton. Its a neat little Army camp now, for troops using the nearby STANTA battle area. Much enjoyed it in FSX. :)
  2. Okay Pete, well, if and when I next uninstall P3DV2.1, I'll take some screenies of the registry before, during and after. I swear I uninstalled both v1.0 and v2 correctly - I don't suppose there could be a remnant of the 1.4 installer thats been left inside the 2.0 installer by Lockheed Martin, is there ? Something that reintroduces that spurious v1.0 folder when you install v2.0? Just a bit of uninformed speculation on my part. Anyway Pete, thanks again for your time and help. Very much appreciated. :)
  3. Pete, thanks hugely for the help. It really is appreciated. :) This business with uninstalling P3D v1... I had similar errors when installing FSUIPC into v2.0 last year, and read a thread here where someone had had the same problem. You advised him about the incorrect uninstall of v1, and so I decided to uninstall v2.0, ran Ccleaner, and then went through the registry 'by hand' so to speak, deleting every reference to Lockheed Martin that I could find, so ensuring ( I hoped ) that there was nothing remaining that referred to v1 or v2.0. At that time I deleted both the folders you see here, in HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Software. Both folders reappeared after installing P3D v2.1. Is that correct ...what I mean is, should there still be two Lockheed Martin folders as shown ? I know you are a busy bloke, and I don't want to put you to any further trouble on my behalf...but if having two Lockheed Martin folders is correct, could you tell me where else the references to v1 might be in my registry ?
  4. First off: Windows 7 Pro 64 bit P3D Version 2.1.9936.0 FSUIPC version 4.929 P3D has been run several times prior to installing FSUIPC During installation, I had several messages pop up, which I show below in sequence. At the end of the process, it appears that both P3D is working correctly, and the FSUIPC interface is available in the sim under the Add Ons menu. All appears normal, and pretty much as I remember it in FSX. However, there is still a gnawing doubt; why all the error messages ? Anyway, here's what happened after I right clicked on FSUIPC Installer.exe and ran it as administrator... Picture 1 I clicked on the OK button in the picture above, and then I got this in Picture 2. To reiterate what I said at the beginning of this post, I have run P3D several times prior to this installing of FSUIPC. Honest ! Picture 2 I clicked on the OK button in the above picture, and I think it was at this point that I was asked to find P3D.exe myself, which I did. Things proceeded from there, as can be seen in Picture 3 Picture 3 I clicked on YES in the picture above, and then I have this appear in Picture 4 Picture 4 After clicking on the OK botton in the picture above, I arrive at the usual registration option as shown in Picture 5 Picture 5 At the end of all this, I decided to run the installer once again, just to see if it went normally ( I think I got the same message in Picture 4 again ). Anyway, here is the Install log :- Installer for FSUIPC4.DLL version 4.929 Looking in registry for FSX install path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator\10.0 Parameter"SetupPath" Not there, so looking in: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\FSX Parameter"AppPath" ...

  5. Thanks Andy. I'll see what can be done using Saitek software once my X52 is back, but as I say, I really would like to keep it all within FSUIPC if I can.
  6. Pete, Kosta, thanks for the responses. Pete, yes, I'd already read the changes document, and it was this that informed me that the mouse look could be enabled while the wheel button was pressed down. Up until then I had been using the spacebar to toggle mouse-look on and off. What I'm asking is...can I make the mouse wheel button act in the same way as the spacebar, i.e. to toggle mouse-look on and off, rather than it only being active while the wheel button is held down. ( Actually, if you do toggle mouse-look on with the spacebar, you can toggle it off by pressing and releasing the wheel button, so in a sense we are half way there. ) Kosta, I'll have a look at your method, when my X52 Pro comes back. Its being repaired at the moment ( oh quelle surprise). However, I'd like to keep it in FSUIPC if possible.
  7. Quick question; is it possible to use the centre ( wheel) mouse button to toggle mouse look on and off, rather than have mouse look active only while the centre mouse button is held down ? The reason I ask is I'm finding it a bit awkward zooming the view in and out while holding the button down. A minor thing, but I thought I'd ask.
  8. Clive, I assume you mean the mouse wheel on the front edge of the Saitek 52 throttle, yes ? If so, uninstall the software that came with your stick, run a registry cleaner like Ccleaner and download the latest versions from the Saitek web site. I have an X-52 Pro, and after installing the latest drivers and software, I can use the throttle mousewheel for trim. With mouselook enabled, I can use the little thumb stick to look round but while in this mode, the throttle mousewheel will zoom your view in and out. Disable mouselook and you will be back to trimming as before. You will find that you can really finely adjust the trim, and of course it frees up two buttons that might otherwise have been assigned to trim up and down. :)
  9. Hi Peter, thanks very much. I kept it *-0.01,+163, and that seems fine, though I will tweak it a little. Please accept my apologies - I'm really getting places with the FSUIPC manual and tutorials now, but the reverse axis part obviously eluded me. I'm sure you have better things to do on a Thursday afternoon than repeat what you've already said in the manual, so I apologise again. Thanks once more for your help and this absorbing FSUIPC you've come with, Peter. The more I learn, the more amazed I am at what it's capable of. No flight simmer should be without it. :smile:
  10. Nico, Peter...thanks for all the information. I'm learning FSUIPC ( version 4.827 ) slowly but surely, and I too wanted to assign zoom view to the thumb slider on the Saitek X52 Pro throttle. Thanks to this thread, I have been able to. :) The entry in my fsuipc.ini file is exactly the same as Nico's... 6=0S,256,F,65701,0,0,0,*0.01,+163 Can I edit this to reverse the axis...so I zoom IN when I move the thumb slider to the right, instead of zoom OUT ? Sorry if its a stupid question. Regards Paul
