Hello Pete, Sorry that I not up to speed yet to proper posting etc., but I'll get there (smile). Thanks for helping to get me in line. OK let me try to explain this situation again: The 1st thing I did after removing all the axes assignments from FSX mouse and Yoke, and Flight yoke via FSX setting control was to deselect from the calibration window "Enable controllers". I then rebooted Win7 and restarted FSX to make sure the changes remained. They did. I then checked in Win7 control panel to make sure the yoke showed movement in the X and Y axis, they did. I then started FSX and double checked that the enabled controllers were still deselected and that all the axis were still deleted for the mose and joystick. I then started a flight and had a cessna 172 sitting at an airport. I then brought up FSUIPC4 ver 4.60a, clicked ases assignment and clicked Rescan: I then moved the aileron to the right (nothing happened) I then moved it to the left and joy 0, X acis#, delta 256, in=-16384, out= -16384 populated. I then selected Send directly to FSUIPC calibration. I checked the top box below it and selected Aileron from the drop down menu. I then selected the joystick calibration menu 1 of 11, Aileron(direct), items populated were: min= -16383, centre = -16383, max= -16383, in=-16384, out= -16383. I then pushed Reset and then set = -16380, centre=-512, max =16380, in =-16384, out=-16383. T then pushed Reset and then set= min=-16380, centre = -512, max= -16380, in=-1684, out = -16383. I then turned the yoke left, in=-16384, out =16384. I then turned the yoke left again and released it and then click min set. Min = -16384. Then I turn it right and released it and clicked set max and the numbers were = -16384, centre =-16384 after I clicked reset for it. If I try to hold the aileron to the left and click min I get an error sound when I click reset min, but if I hold it to the right I get no error sound when I click set max even though the numbers don't change. I then click OK to go back into FSX. The yoke is centered and moves left OK from center, and when I release it, goes back to center, when I turn the yoke to the right nothing happens. I then checked my FSUIPC4.ini file in the modules folder and towards the bottom: aileron = -16384, -16384, -16384, -16384 [Axis] 0=0x, 256,0,1,0,0,0. No other entries were list for axises. So I hope this explanation helps in explaining where I'm stuck. I thought I understood how to use the sodtware from the manual, but I'm missing something somewhere... Thanks in advance for your help, fparker

Hello Pete, I responded to a post yesterday with the problem I'm having calibrating my hardware (yoke) for starters. I have followed Peter Dowson's check list and everything seems to be going good until I get tot he calibration part. The numbers for my aileron (X axes) are -16384 when I turn it to the left and nothing changes when I turn it to the right. The same occurs when I go into FSX, the aileron moves OK to the left but will not move to the right...hummm...I have checked what I know to see if anything is conflicting with it. In Win 7 everything is working OK from Control panel. Again I followed all on the check list. Right now I have started from scratch and have only the Yoke (have tried both CH and Saitek) and only one the Y & X axes assigned. I'm sure I'm over looking something simple. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, fparker
