Mr. Dowson, You said So I searched for all Directinput8 files and found only one. It was found in the main FSX folder so I deleted it. I have no idea how it got there, my guess is it was tagged in with a freeware addon I installed at some point. I deleted it out and I can now get axis assignment information, as well as Button + Switches Assignments. Thanks for your help with this I am going to see if I can get things set up with all FSUIPC controls and get up in the air again. It seems the DirectInput8 file was blocking information from getting to the module. Relieved, Jonathan Dowdy

Mr. Dowson, Thank you for such a speedy reply. I have looked through the log from last night and did not see an error in that file. I have added the lines under general to allow the extra logging and there is more in the log file now. However when I try and copy and paste it locks up the web page as the file really long with a bunch on repeating errors. I have tried to push buttons on the buttons+keys page and did not get any feedback there either. I did not stay in the FSUIPC page a long time as there was not any response coming back from the module, done the test and got the log. I am running FSX in compatibility mode to Windows 7 and have it installed directly to the root folder instead of installed in the Program files area. Not sure if that makes a difference but thought it might be pertinent.

I have a registered copy of FSUIPC v4.929 and I am not able to get any response when trying to assign axis to the module. I have looked over the users guide and the advanced users guide and it says to press the rescan button and then move an axis. The axis that moves first is the one that will be picked up and displayed for it to be used. I have tried many times to assign different axes with no luck. I have removed the .dll file and started with a brand new install of FSUIPC and nothing. When I disable the controllers in FSX I can not use the joystick calibration tool in the module, but when the controllers are enabled I have the ability to calibrate. This is having me scratch my head a little and makes me want to throw my computer down a long hallway. I am currently running Windows 8 with FSX installed and working but losing the joystick rudder and throttle quadrant mid flight. All three products are Saitek (I know Mr. Dowson has issues with Saitek, did not know that when I bought them) but not sure what to do any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Attached is the .ini file from my modules folder if it helps at all.
