No Pete I am not rejecting your help and I thank you for your advice offered here, it's seems you make me out to be an idiot who has not read your documentation nor understands the basic fundimentals of FSX. After all I invested in your product with certain expectations of its application, in my particular case it seems to be an end around run to accomplish what I had hoped it would do with minimal effort. Yes, I understand how to set up and calibrate my joystick in FSX and having read your manual, unchecked the calibration in FSX, went to FSUIP and set up the various keys/buttons to see if that would effect a more significant change in want I saw resulting in my flight characteristics. That said,and as I indicated earlier, the control characteristics were erratic. That's all I'm saying. Have a nice day.
