Thank you Pete for finding that old thread. I turned emulation off and now all is fine. we understood that something was blocking Buttons and the answer in the old thread got it done. all is well with all fs and fsuipc4. thank you once again.

Hi Pete, your working on Sunday you need to take a brake you help is great but only 5 days a week be kind to your self. NO I do not use foxy or any apps with the hotas cougar. only the basic driver is in play. i tested the stick in foxy and FSX seperatly only to make sure that the drivers are working as they should out side fsuipc4. if FSX sees the bouttons and foxy sees the bouttons and they would not if the drivers were crupted then it has to be someweare in fsuipc4 that the problems lies . if fsx sees the buttons and foxy sees the buttons and fsuipc dose not were elese can i look. Now the real trick is that fsx responds to stik buttons that were binded through fsuipc4 before the move but now fsuipc dose not see them for rebinding to something else. IF fsx OR foxy AND fsuipc4 passes commands to the sim with controler shut off in fsx THEN drivers are good AND bindings are difined with fsuipc4 and passed only ELESE commands are NOT passed then drivers bad. IF buttons are not reassignable in button key subroutine THEN problem is in subroutine something is blocking. The cntrl F2 and F3 and the H and Shift H is what FSX is calling the buttons not the hardware or the drivers for the hadrwear. Thank you Pete and take care.

in FSX when i assign one of the hat switches I get up= ctrl+F3, down= ctrl + F2, right = H, left = Shift H I do not get any numbers 1 to 32 or 0 to 31. Fsx sees the stick buttons. in fsuipc key button tab Box PRESS Nothing Box Button nothing. I tried this with EZCA enabled and with EZCA disabled. Thrusmaster Foxy sees all buttons and compiles and downloads to stick. I nolonger use foxy i have been total depending on fsuipc for all controlers rudder peddels, stick and trotel and f16 MFD 1 and 2. all are working in fsx and fsuipc except stick buttons.

I have assigned buttons ib FS before. i switched to fsuipc as a better system and it is. controls afe turned of in FS everything gos through fsuipc. i will assign in fs and get back to you. i am using a thrustmaster hots courgar if that helps. thank you once again.

I do not know how to tell what FS sees the buttons as? I used fsuipc to bind the hat to flaps inc up and down right and left. This hat still works in FS but in fsuipc button and keys it dose not apeare in the box and so can not be reasigned. nothing regards buttons on the stick can be re asigned as no buttons are seen. Also EZCA dose not see them either. What was bound before the move to ssd all work ok but now i can not make any new bindings for the stick only. when i did the migration and installed the ssd as c: through the bios I did not remove the original hdd from the system. it is now seen as F: by the OS and all files are still in tact. Do you think that some dll got stepted on in migration or some pointer got slamed in the registry? I am sure that i will not be the only one with this sort of problem as users more and more upgrade to ssd. An ssd migration page might be a good addition to the forum. Well thanks for you time and help it is much apreciated and i hope between the two of us things will come to a happy ending. Also a spell ckeck would go a long way i am a EE and therfore dislectic and a very bad speller. great with numbers poor with letters. thank you.

Thank you for the responce and sorry for the typo Pete. The folowing is the joy sec of the ini // [JoyNames] AutoAssignLetters=No 1=Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals 1.GUID={D66121A0-20A5-11E4-8001-444553540000} 2=F16 MFD 1 2.GUID={B70C2C20-3386-11E4-8001-444553540000} 3=F16 MFD 2 3.GUID={E1E1BFA0-3386-11E4-8002-444553540000} 0=HOTAS Cougar Joystick 0.GUID={F52B0320-16A1-11E4-8001-444553540000} 4=Razer Tartarus 4.GUID={2A247DE0-F8D3-11E4-8002-444553540000} seems to me that 0= HOTAS Crugar Joystick should be on top of list but I don't know if it makes a defrance ? I am not sure what the flash dose or dose not do in updating eeprom of controler. but windows sees the stick and ther buttons on it. all buttons that I am useing are on the stick and also the throtel. everything worked before ssd upgrade. though fsuipc says that fsuipc is registered to me with my email address, fsuipc is acting like it is not registered. one of the hats on the stick is used to lower and raise the flaps and works in a2a c182 and fsx but when i go to bottobs and keys and press the hat or any buttons on thw stick nothing happens. fsuipc dose see f 16 1 and 2 buttons but not the stick. I am going to move 0= Hotas to the top of liat and see if it helps. Thank you

Did I do or say someting wrong on this forum? I posted the above and have not yet gotten one sugestion of help. dose Pet Dawson read these posts?

i in stalled a ssd 850 pro did all the migration and now have it as C: boot. fsx box is working well orbex, ezdok, asn and all the rest working fine. whill in a2a c182 i open fsuipc and go to botton key tab. fsuipc no longer sees joystick boorotn for assignment. Plese help with this. I flashed the firm ware in cougar HOTAS and all is working fine. reinstalled fsuipc and it still shows me as registered but even after doing this fsuipc still dose not see joystick buttons. When i first started fsx box on the new drive it asked me for my key pass i entered it and all is fine with fsx but not with fsuipc all axis work fine in fsuipc even rotory dile i use for trim but fsuipc never sees the joystick bottons. once again please help . Thank you.
