Has anyone had problems with programing the buttons on the joystick in FSUIPC? For example, when I press the cycle views button on the joystick it goes from cockpit to tower back to cockpit. If I press 'S' it cycles all the views. Incidentally, if I press 'S' to VC then press the joystick button it goes to chase. Also, it seems I only have 3 flap settings, 15,25 and 40 and the gear don't come down with the joystick, but when 'G' is pressed, everything is fine. Is there a way to tweak the settings? Kim

I uninstalled all of the drivers for the Saitek X36 and then reinstalled the simpler drivers. I followed the directions to set up here: http://saitekhelp.simhq.com/installing_olo.htm#xp The Direct X seems to be the issue, everything works like the directions until I reboot, then about 15 buttons show that they are pushed and the axis' don't respond. I can't calibrate either. Does FSUIPC run independant of FS9? Could it be causing an issue with Direct X?

For some reason, Win XP doesn't recognize the x36 joystick. Saitek's drivers don't work with XP either. Ron Hunt has a site : http://saitekhelp.simhq.com/index.htm that has new drivers. HazardScript's program an automated programming template for the joystick buttons. After running the program windows recognizes the buttons where it didn't before. Also, now the buttons are crazy when I go into the game controllers properties. After I start FS9 the buttons, POV and axis kind of spike and cause the A/C to not be controllable. If I unintall hazardscript will FSUIPC allow the use of the buttons (if programmed) even if they are not available in the Win XP game controllers screen?

Okay, here's the issue: because Saitek's drivers aren't the greatest for the X36 and Windows XP I'm using HazardSripts. I've followed the directions to the letter and it worked great. I recently installed FSUIPC and all of the buttons didn't work again. I reran the hazardscript program and they work. I have to run the hazardscript program to get the buttons to work in FS with FSUIPC running. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix the problem? Kim
