This site http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg.htm provides a very detailed explanation of all the Windows services and which ones can be safely turned off. I have used it to identify services and processes that can be turned off with FSAutostart. T...

The flight controls do seem "softer" than they did, which must be as a result of the addition of the [CONTROLS] statement. Now I can play with the sliders to see if I can get the feel that I want. Thanks for the response about FS-Communicator and WideFS. I thought the same thing but his home page did not go into detail about why there was a requirement for WideFS. Bruce...

Pete, Thank you for your prompt reply and for literally "straightening" me out about the joystick sensitivities. Of course you are right about having it backwards so I will play with the sliders and see if I can optimize the joystick a little better. I have also added the {CONTROLS} statement as you suggested. Another day, another piece of FS software! I looked at the FS-Communicator site and it says it also requires a registered copy of WideFS so I will just experiment with FS for now and keep Communicator in the back of my mind. Bruce...

Pete, this question is not specifically related to FSUIPC, which I must say is a wonderful piece of middleware, but what do the joystick "Sensitivity" sliders actually do in FS? What is more sensitivity versus less sensitivity? For example I find that the elevator control launches a Cessna 182 to a VS of 1000' to 1500' fpm - increasing the risk of a stall - even with only a slight pull on the stick. I would like more of a variable ratio VS - more sensitivity (less VS) above and below the center position and less sensitivity at the extremes. Similarly to get a slower rate of turn I would like the ailerons and rudder to be slower acting near the center of the axis, etc. I don't think that FSUIPC can do this - correct me if I am wrong - but do the sensititivity sliders at least slow down or increase the action of the controls even in a linear manner? The answer may be to use a yoke rather than a joystick but that is not in the cards at the moment. Any clarification would be much appreciated. I also wanted to take this opportunity to say that your commitment to the flight simulation community, your patience with all types of questions, the seamless integration of your software and your efforts to make flight simming more fun and realistic for all of us is is appreciated.
