Hi Pete,
Thanks again for supporting FSim all these years.
I just started setting up "Aircraft Specific" settings (w/shortaircraftnameOK enabled) in the ini file using FSUIPC 3.53 registered. As you can see ,I did one section for the PMDG 747 and 737 each using the joystickcalibration and buttons sections. The problem is, when I come back into the FSUIPC GUI, the joysticks tab properly indicates "aircraft specific" as being checked but the Buttons tab does not. Now, if I then check the "aircraft specific" box on the Buttons tab, the shortname does appear on the FSUIPC GUI title bar and buttons seem to be assigned, but for some reason "aircraft specific" settings are not on by default even though the section in the ini file seems to be properly recongnized. I hope I've explained this well enough, but if I haven't, let me know and I'll try to rephrase.
Oh, one other thing; it would also be easier if the buttons assignments in the ini file started with one instead of zero. It took me a few minutes to realize that in order to identify my actual, physical buttons on the devices it was necessary to add 1 to the button assignemnts as listed in the ini. No joystick I've ever used has a button zero, :wink: Is it possible to change this sometime in the future?
BTW, I can't wait 'till you have the aircraft specific axis assignemnts facitlity in FSUIPC, that'll be absolutly fabulous :)
