Thank you for your reply Pete. It was my mistake yet again. Since this was a brand new install I had neglected to remove P3D's assignments from the sim. It works fine and I now have the latest version.

Hello, I have both 4.5 HF2 and a fresh install of V5 on my PC. Been using FSUIPC paid version 6.0.5 for both and I like how it works between sims. However, today I just installed the A2A 182, Bonanza, Comanche, and Cherokee and I'm having problems with all four aircraft with my Yoko yoke switch I use. In 4.5 the gear and flaps (F5, F6,) etc work fine, but not in V5. In V5 the flaps for example go from full up to 20 degrees then full down in these planes, missing the 10 degree setting. In4.5 it's ok. The gear does the same, keyboard works, and 4.5 the yoke button is fine. Will Version 6.0.9 fix this issue or is this an A2A issue? Many thanks, love FSUIPC, wouldn't sim without it.

Many thanks John, I very much appreciate it!

Hello, I have P3D 4.5 HF2. I also have the paid version of FSUPIC 5.156. First question, when I buy and install P3D V5 can I copy over the Configuration settings file from P3D 4.5 HF2 to the new version of FSUIPC? Second, I downloaded the new version, 6.0.5, I didn't know it was a paid upgrade, how do I pay for it since I haven't even installed P3D V5 yet? Many thanks.

Ok, no problem.

That’s just the problem, the Profile Specific box is grayed out, and it has a tick in the grayed out box. I can’t do anything on this screen.

One more thing. I think the reason the yoke is actually working is because it’s assigned in the Axis Assignments of P3D itself, I thought I was supposed to remove these and let FSUIPC do it. But I don’t see how it can do both the stick and yoke.

I found it in that drop down menu so I went with New Based On. No idea why, I think I was thinking if I didn’t it would mess up the current profile. The autism makes me stupid, I have to admit, it takes me a while to “get it”. Ok, I’m actually on that screen right now, Joystick Calibration tab. All I see is an empty box that says Profile Specific? This is what’s going on right now. 1. I have the A2A Bonanza on the taxi way with engines running. 2. I have both the HOTAS stick connected and the new yoke connected to the PC. 3. I’m looking at the Joystick Calibration tab for 1 of 11: Main Flight Controls. 4. When I move the yoke FSUIPC doesn’t see it but when I move the stick, which is siting on the floor it does see it move. 5. If I go to the Axis Assignment tab and move the yoke I see Joy# E, Y Axis. And the numbers change as I move it. 6. But back to the Joystick Calibration tab it doesn’t show movement of the yoke. And Pete, I really am sorry if I’m frustrating you, please accept my apology. I do so very much appreciate all your wonderful help.

Ok, at this point I’m so incredibly confused it’s not funny. Like I said, I wish there was a very simple step by step visual guide to install a new plane and create a profile. I really am hopelessly lost now.

Ok, I plugged it in and loaded the 182. It moves the ailerons and stabs. That’s good. As for the Mustang, I was thinking about deleting it from the ini as a test to figure out what I should do in FSUIPC with a new plane after installation, what exact steps I need to do.

Ok, thanks Pete, I so very much appreciate all your help. I might install Flight1’s Mustang but I already have a profile for it. I guess I could delete it from the ini. I just changed the No to a Yes and am about to plug in the yoke and load a plane and see what happens with FSUIPC. I have no idea what will happen or what I’m supposed to do though. 😞

But this is exactly the part I don’t understand. I wish there was a step by step tutorial or video on exactly how to do what I describe. I simply do not understand how to NOT create a new profile for a plane I might add.

I think the real reason I did it this way is I didn't understand FSUIPC. I have a very difficult time wrapping my mind around some of these programs, (I have autism Pete) so it's not easy to learn some things. I'm beginning to get the picture now. I was under the impression I needed a different profile for each different plane, ie; 182, Bonanza, etc. Now I see I didn't. It still works the way I have it unless you recommend I start fresh, which I'm really loathe to do because I'd probably still end up creating a separate profile for all 14 planes.

Ok, the PC isn't even turned on yet, gonna do it now as I was waiting for your reply which was super fast, thanks. So I have to find that "No" in the ini file and go by your previous reply.

Thanks Pete! Well, I know guys with hundreds of planes. I have a separate profile for say A2A's Bonanza and one for A2A's 182. It's the same profile I would imagine since I created it "based on". My planes are four A2A, four PMDG, two RealAir, one Flight1, three MilViz. That's it. It seems every time I added a new plane FSUPIC needed a new profile so I always used the "based on" thing. I see how it won't allow a new profile once it loads the plane, yes that makes sense. I copied over my profile from the last version so I didn't have to recreate all of them.
