Andy you are a bl@@dy champion. I didn't pick up that in the fsx controls section where it said Saitek Cessna Pro Flight Yoke there was a drop down menu. I assumed it saw all the Saitek controllers as one unit. As soon as it dropped down to the rudders and I deleted the aileron and elevator commands we were back in business. Thank you so much, it was really doing my head in. I wish I could buy you a drink.

Hi Andy This has got to be the most confusing and crazy thing I have ever seen. I have ensured the only axis allocated in fsx is the throttle 1 and 2 to the throttles on my yoke set up. They are the only things listed in the controls section of fsx. I have gone into the buttons section and deleted the button commands num* and num- as those were allocated to brakes. Closed the fsx. Deleted the FSUIPC config then started FSX and gone to modules. I have allocated each control input via the axis allocation tool and ensured they are being sent to fsuipc as the relevant control and then exited and everything seems to work except the moment I step on the left brake the aileron control rolls left and when I step on the right brake the controls pitch forward. I think you might be able to imagine the few sweet words I am calling this atm. I look forward to your next advice.

Hi Andy Thank you for your reply. As I have reinstalled FSX it could easily be possible that the yoke/throttle and rudder pedals are not plugged into the same usb ports that they originally were plugged into prior to the FSX reinstall. I had no idea that I needed to take note of which usb port they were originally plugged into. All fsx axis assignments have been deleted from the FSX controls except I have allocated throttle 1 and 2 in FSX to avoid problems in PMDG B777. What do I do now?

Hi Everyone This is my first post here. I tried posting my problem on Avsim but got no response - I should have tried here earlier. I have just put a fresh FSX install onto my PC but having difficulties assigning axis to my Saitek Toe Brakes. It seems that when they get pressed they are activating the axis for the elevator and ailerons. Press the left toe brake and it is showing up as the x axis and press the right toe brake and it triggers the elevator axis obviously screwing things up badly. I did what I thought was a total clean of my system including formatting the drive fsx was installed on prior to the reinstall. I have tried deleting the newly installed and registered FSUIPC and reinstalling - all to no avail. Are there any other places FSUIPC has information tucked away apart from the modules folder in FSX? Is there a registry entry somewhere that could be screwed up? If so where would I find it? Can somebody please offer some advice? Many thanks Barra
