OK, now I understand. My stupid mistake. I hadn't realised that the profile is created around an already loaded aircraft, I was under the impression that I was creating a profile independantly. Thanks for your help. I'm very new to all this and it has been a steep learning curve.

Thanks for that. Unfortunately I've posted again elsewhere because the thread was not where I originally looked. Sorry, I'm new to this. My specific problem is that the manual says that when you tick the "Profile Specific" box that you should be presented with a drop down list from which to select another action. I don't see a drop down list. How do I go about creating another profile. Am I misunderstanding this.

1. I'm running FSX De-luxe edition on a Windows 8.1 PC but seem to be having a problem with purchased copy of FSUIPC. The manual says that when creating profiles, on ticking the Profile Specific box a drop down menu should appear enabling me to either cancel or create a new profile.This only appeared the first time I experimented with creating a profile. Now all that happens is that that particular profile name shows up in the heading bit I don't get the drop down menu. 2. Before I splash out any more money on a yoke etc. can anyone confirm that the best way to program key assignments is to totally delete all the assignments in FSX and start again in FSUIPC. I'm sure I read that somewhere but can't remember where. I have concerns that not all of the FSX commands are avalable in FSUIPC although I can't for the life of me bring one to mind at the moment.
