Ok, here we go! To sum it up, Windows 8 has a bug where it disconnects the joystick once in a while. Fine! So I was then told that FSUIPC would fix it. So I bought FSUIPC4, then updated it to 4.859n to make sure that the registration works. So far so good!
Then I was told to use FSUIPC to assign the controls and then delete the controls in Prepar3D! Well, I did delete the controls in Prepar3D and now it doesn't recognize the josystick at all, even after starting up.
My questions:
1.) How do get my Saitek Pro52 to recognize within Prepar3D (it works fine in the game controller settings).
2.) How do I assign the controls using FSUIPC, so that when this stupid Windows 8 bug comes in, my controls will still work!
Thank you very much!
