Hi Peter I have FSUIPC installed (free version) as I use FSFlyingSchool. I believe many not-so-advanced FSX users are a little daunted, as I am, by FSUIPC as a tool for tweaking their setup. Personally the only thing I'd want from the software is to help me with 2 issues: Mapping my Logitech G940 trim wheels found on the joystick to the elevator, aileron and rudder trims. Currently FSX only allows me to map one trim axis to the elevator trim. All other assignnments work fine Saving different configurations for different planes, such as single engine, sailplanes, helicopter, etc. Currently I use a "standard" setup and before I fly I change a few of the settings to correspond to the plane i'm flying. Whatever I do FSX always remembers the last config in use when I exit from the program. Do you think it would be possible to come out with a simplified and limited version that would only do that and be less intimidating to beginners like me? I have a hunch there might be a market for this...

thanks, I'll have a look into it. If you know anybody using the Logitech G940 we should exchange ideas. I opted for this kit because it's the only flight kit around that has force-feedback...

thanks Pete. Just one more question: I have a Logitech G940 kit. The Throttle has a 3-position switch that allows it to assign 3 different values to the same keys and the Joystick has a Shift function that also allows to assign different functions to the keys. I have the impression FSX does not support the 3-position switch. Any feedbacks about this? Regards Peter

I'm a casual flyer and have now upgraded to FSX and a Logitech G940 joystick/throttle/pedals setup which I find quite nice. However, can't find anybody out there who has published profiles for that setup. I only fly single-engine planes, gliders and occasionally try out helicopters. What I would like to do is be able to save configs for each of these different machines so that I don't have to spend so much time just setting up the system before I can fly. It seems like FSX always reverts to something not quite the same as I left it, don't know if the fault is just of FSX or of the Logitech gear. The Logitech profiler does not seem to work with FSX, but apparently I need to have it open to set calibration and other characteristics. The .cfg files created by FSX are simply no good, they hold no information that I can see on the joystick axes and buttons, the only data I can see there seems to relate to scenery details and such (see attached file) Any feedback on the subject is welcome and my question is: does FSUIP solve my problem and is it easy to use ?
