I am using two joystick configurations. One for Airbus flying (CH Yoke for throttles - pic320, and joystick for the airbus stick), and one for Boing (or more accurately non Airbus flying (where only CH Yoke is configured). With separate CFG files I have managed to get the whole thing working no problem (and did not even have to use the excellent new facilities in latest FSUIPC). I was just wondering if multiple ini's could give me even greater flexibility, and have still found no reason pretty much for the reasons you mention, so I will not bother :D

Pete, In relation to the following section of the Advanced Users Manual: QUOTE: Different FSUIPC.ini files can be used for differing FS requirements, even loading from the same FS2000/2002 installation. This involves using multiple FS2000.CFG, FS2002.CFG or FS9.CFG files with different filenames, with the following section added in each one: [FSUIPC] ControlName= Then you load FS for each configuration with the command line parameter specifying the CFG file, thus, for FS2000 for example: FS2000.exe /CFG:.CFG And this will allow FSUIPC to identify its correct .INI file, .ini. IMPORTANT: For FS9 CFG files, please put your alternative CFG files into the main FS9 folder, not the “Documents and Settings” place where the default FS9.CFG goes. If you put it where it seems logical, FS9 will not see it and will create a new default CFG file with the name you specified, placing it in the default FS9 folder! UNQUOTE When you refer to CONTROL name, are you talking abou the FSUIPC.INI name, eg myalt1.ini? Where is this [FSUIPC] section to be found? Also, I have created and put the cfg files in the documents subdirectory structure, and FS did not create/put the files into the FS9 main folder. As it happens, it does find them where they are, but I need to specify the full path. It would not find them if I put them into the main FS9 folder unless I also gave the full path. Did you try the above or has behaviour changed since FS patches? Cheers

After calibration it now 'does what it says on the box'! Thanks Pete!. Cheers

Test it on a default aircraft. If it is something peculiar to the Dreamfleet 727 then you really need to ask them. All the reverser is doing in FSUIPC is sending appropriate negative thrust values to all engine throttles. The usual problem is that the normal throttle(s) is/are not quite in idle, but that stops you going into reverse, it doesn't stop you coming out. Does the 727 go into reverse using the F2 key to keep decrementing thrust? If you do this till it gets to maximum reverse, does it come back out gradually on pressing F3? Regards, Pete It does not go back into reverse, but it does come out of reverse, after the first time reverse is tried. Will try the calibration of the throttle axis and the default aircraft and let you know. I have a sneaky suspicion, now that you mention it, that it has to do with throttle calibration. Cheers

I have the following problem and wonder if Pete can help: - I have configured the middle slider on my CH Yoke USB joystick to the Mixture axis in FS. - I have calibrated the same axis as a JET only reverser in FSUIPC, and from what I see the values are changing as I mode the slider. - Once I start FS and get into the Dreamfleet B727 panel, using the reverser for the first time will work fine (reversers engage), but moving it back again nothing happens. It would appear the reversers get stuck in the closed position, and moving the slider has no effect. Any ideas? Cheers, Nikos Terizakis

Pete, Tried to post under that thread, but locked, so I hope you do not mind me posting an new thread with same subject. To the point: I think you need to seriously consider re-writting the part of the doc that describes how to do PPT for a remote PC via WideFS, potentially giving step by step instuctions to people on how to do it, screenshots, example ini files etc. Sorry to say, but the documentation is inadequate there, and rather confusing I would say, especially for people that do not have the time or knowledge to get into programming (and before going any further I do have a Bsc and Msc in Computing Science - I just do not want to apply it to my hobby). It very much shows that it has been patched from documentation of older releases and does not follow a logical path. On a personal basis, I spend about 2 hours reading through it yesterday, and applying various things to files and KeySend combinations, yet to make it work, but will spend some more time these eve to double check against the original thread to make sure I have not missed something before I ask for help.
