Deep joy! That worked a treat. I looked at the Advanced User Guide, somewhere I didn't think I was clever enough to look at. I was right! You are on a different level to ordinary folks. 😃 Thanks for being here.

Helicopters! I've tried and failed, to get 'Axis Collective Set' and 'Axis Helicopter Throttle Set' to be reversed. I've had to resort to MSFS controls to do this job. Until now I've managed to get FSUIPC to handle everything. It's a pain having to go to MSFS, turn off those controls when I swap to a fixed wing. If it can be done in FSUIPC would you be so kind as to point me in the right direction? I did search but found nothing. Not to say there isn't though.😉 I forgot to add, I'm using v 7.3.16

Please forgive me John. I didn't see this thread and thought the thread about loss of control was, as I said, relevant in a small way. I'm sorry to have got it so wrong.

Sorry, I'm late on parade. I've read through this thread and my issue seems to be related in a small way. I'm on 7.3.12 and all my axis work just fine...Except Condition levers! The said levers work correctly as mixture levers but not in any form of turbo prop condition. i.e Axis Condition lever, Condition lever Set 1,2, etc. The aircraft I've tried it with are Asobo's C208, Kingair 350i and Orbx's latest PAC 750. Strangely it works properly on Milviz's PC-6, odd. It grieves me to have to resort to MSFS controls for just that one function. Oops! Just noticed 7.3.13a. I'll give that a go. Ron I'm back. No, no joy

I make no apologies for bringing this thread back to life but it has given me the answer I've been looking for. I have the JustFlight Hawk and like every other plane I have that requires it I have the left hand throttle assigned to Axis throttle. No problem. Until JF brought out V1.5. The throttle refused to work. I bugged JF with it but they were nice but no answer (Works OK here) I had to resort to using MSFS controls (the ONLY assignment!) to get it to work. Other planes took over, as they do and the Hawk was parked. Today I got it out again and the irritant raised it head again. I came here to ask for a clue but like a good boy I did a search and I spotted this thread. That led me to try 'Throttle Set' IT WORKED! Just underneath it is Axis_throttle_set_Ext. THAT WORKED! Anyway, thanks for the service. 😃

You wouldn't believe how many time I've scrolled through the file looking for anomalies. I just didn't see for looking.

Out of date! My God, my very bad! I usually jump on an update tout sweet. Thanks John, 'preciate it. 🙂

J=<< MISSING JOYSTICK >> << MISSING JOYSTICK >> K=<< MISSING JOYSTICK >> << MISSING JOYSTICK >> H=<< MISSING JOYSTICK >> << MISSING JOYSTICK >> I've seen this for some time now and although I can detect nothing untoward the .ini file seems to think it's significant. Every pirce of kit attached to the sim is mentioned and I haven't discarded anything. It's not important, so finish your coffee first. .😁 .ini attached EDIT: Just remembered, CH yoke replaced by Fulcrum recently and a Saitek throttle quadrant bit the dust but that one was, I think, before MFS & FSUIPC7 FSUIPC7.ini

Thems my thoughts. Lets call it a day. Muchos gracias.

It's not a worry per se, more of a 'this is very odd' The strange thing about the Saitek wheel is, it's not automatically recognised by Windows. You have to rotate the wheel to get a USB 'bing bong' 🙂 There's a gremlin in there somewhere and I'm not qualified to find it. John, don't fuss yourself about it. I fondly believed you'd say 'Ah yes, we know about this'. You're not a God after all. 🙄

I have. That's not really the point. Why just the JF aircraft? It works fine with MFS controls but not with FSUIPC. Ron

I forgot to mention I use the Saitek Trim Wheel which uses an axis. That may well be the issue. Beats me. I'll put it down to another SDK restriction or some such. Thanks for answering though. Cheers, Ron

Odd one this. I use the Saitek trim wheel. Always have, always will. From FXS onwards FSUIPC has always recognises it. Indeed it does now for MSFS. However. For the Just Flight Arrows and their Hawk, the wheel is reversed. Nose up is now nose down. (Keep reading) This is ONLY JF models. EVERYTHING else works properly. I've been on to Just Flight and got nowhere, although Mark was as helpful as he could be. The options I have is to check the 'Reverse Axis' box in FSUIPC and change back for ANY other aircraft. (PITA) Make a profile for Arrows based on etc. and one for Hawks based on something else *sigh* Or Horror of horror, use MSFS to assign ONLY the trimwheel. Which is what I'm doing at the moment. Still here? 🙂 The question is, is there something different that Just Flight are doing that prevents them from seeing FSUIPC control. They say they use the trimwheel but use MSFS to assign it. This is just on the off chance you have Arrows etc and have come across this. Cheers, Ron

Damn me if you haven't hit the spot again! For the record, all my controllers are driven by windows. Looking at the properties of the Saitek\drivers I went to the system32\drivers and lo and behold there were two identical driver files but different dates. I took them both out but there was a 'hiccup' and only one made it to my desktop. I then removed the trim wheel and restarted. I expected window to run through it 'new thingy' thing but it didn't. Eventually I replaced the driver file, restarted and then started MFS. The trim wheel was operational right off the bat, no faffing. FSUIPC doesn't need to be 'nudged' into finding it. LG Thanks John...Again. 🙂

Saitek Trim wheel. Anyone who has one knows you have to give it a twirl before windows recognises it. 'bing bong' However, 🙂 having twirled it then started MFS, FSUIPC doesn't automatically assign it to it's task as per every other controller. You have to go into Assingments\ Axis move a control then Rescan, twirl the trim and THEN it will show as Axis elevator trim. Have I missed a trick? Is it a known foible? It's a routine I've got into so it's not desperate, but know what it's like when you have ab itch.

A bit of over enthusiasm eh? I'll un-check it. Thanks again.

Gosh! The whole family. 🙂 As a for instance Landing Lights On: Parameter 0 (Switch moved down) Checked 'Control to repeat while held... Landing Lights Off Parameter 0 (Switch moved up. Same for Strobes Alternator, Master Battery and Master Avionics EDIT: Gentlemen you are priceless! Parameters, who'd believe it. I now have all my switches work as on and off. Thank muchly

I keep meaning ask about this but I keep forgetting. I have a Saitek TPM which has nine toggle switches. I've assigned them to various lights etc. All my assignments features Down for ON and OFF when released. All except Nav lights. There appears to be only 'Toggle nav lights' as opposed to Nav light ON and nav lights OFF. Question is, have I missed something or is that how it is? No biggie but a tiny itch that needed scratching. 🙂

Thanks John. I figured something along those lines but I would never been able to put it so succinctly. I had a look at the log and it all seems OK to me. Like the Bye bye. 🙂

Does any of this mean anything to anyone?

Cheers, Ron

As I said John, I have no assignments in MSFS for the TPM. Every button/switch on it is handled by FSUIPC. G=Pro Flight TPM System G.GUID={C8DA6E60-25B7-11E6-8001-444553540000} is the controller in question.

Sorry I've taken so long to get back. Attached is my ini and the log. MSFS has only two button controls assigned to different controllers, not this one. Everything else is handled by FSUIPC. That was my very first thought. My hunch, based on no technical knowledge is that MSFS thinks an electrical thing has been switched so I'll turn stuff off. Oh, I did two runs, one starting from the runway i.e. ready to fly. No conflict. Starting from a parking spot i.e. C&D- Conflict FSUIPC7.zip

..And not by design. This probably is outside of your sphere of influence but I'll ask anyway. I have several controllers, one of which is the Saitek TPM throttle/bank of switches. All the switches are assigned via FSUIPC, no issues there...Except. One of the switches does the strobes and when starting an aircraft switching on the strobes switches off the battery thus knocking out avionics etc. Switching everything back on (Battery, Alternator, avionics on the same bank of switches) the strobes switch minds it's own business. Now, could that be an FSUIPC thing or an MSFS/Asobo thing?

Yes, it's not quite what I thought it would be, but it'll do until you can rework it maybe?

Actually, that does the job, thanks. The reason I asked was because I sometimes forget to start FSUIPC until the sim has started in full screen and the system tray is hidden resulting in a bit of a faff. Just to make sure, it will connect to the sim when it loads an aircraft, or before? I'll have another go and watch carefully.
