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.

Thanks for this Pete, so do I modify the INI file before I plug in the yoke or after?

Hi Pete and many thanks again. I have to first say I’m not very good with FSUIPC, it confuses me and I have so many questions. I’m not at the PC right now but this is basically what I do as it’s more trial and error than anything. Install a new plane. Run FSUIPC. Go to the tab where it sees movement of a throttle or flight control. Tick the profile box then when it asks what I want to do, I create a new profile based on say the 182. Then name it, say Bonanza. And then it will work with only one tail number so I quit P3D, go to the ini file (which I keep a copy on my desktop) and modify it so it can read all the Bonanzas, like you said in the past if the word Bonanza is in the name of the plane FSUIPC will see them all. There’s one thing I wish I could do and don’t know if it can be done, and that is delete a profile. Do I have to modify the ini to do that? So this brings me to today. I am going to keep the Thrustmaster HOTAS stick connected. Go into the INI and use your lettering method, and then connect my new yoke. So what I need to know is this, when it’s connected and I go to that tab where it sees movement do I need to create all new profiles for every plane I have, I have 14 of them. I mean how do I add the yoke to the existing profile? Or will I have to create a new profile “based on” for example the Bonanza and name it Bonanza yoke? If I seem confusing I apologize in advance.

Thanks Pete that worked. Now I have to add my new yoke. Will it interfere with the Thrustmaster stick? Should I unplug the stick for the yoke, I read that can cause problems.

Many thanks Pete! I’ll add these lines now. But I read and read page 21 and still can’t figure out what needs to be done. I simply don’t understand what I’m reading. As for Windows reset, yes, it’s a fresh new install of windows. And not one of my devices have been unplugged and plugged into a different USB port. And to make matters even more complicated I got a brand new Yoke today and wonder when I plug it in I’ll have to make all new FSUIPC profiles for myp lanes for it?

I'm sorry for any misunderstanding Pete. Yes, this is a Throttle/Prop/Mixture unit from Saitek. Yes, it worked fine in the last version 5.141e. Same exact Windows 10 Pro as before. This is simply a Windows reset after a crash. In order for me to fly any prop planes I have to use P3D's Axis assignments native to the program for the prop, throttle, and mixer, it was not like this a week ago. I did everything through FSUIPC. So now when I fly the TQ6 and TPM are fighting each other. If I am in a 182 for example and move the TPM throttle it's fine but if I bump the TQ6 throttle it will then control the prop. It's worse in the MilViz 407, no matter where the TPM's throttle is I can't use the TQ6 lever like I did last week to get airborne, the TPM overrides it. Here are my files. FSUIPC5.log FSUIPC5.ini

Hi Pete, Saitek TPM Windows 10 sees it P3D 4.4 sees it in Calibration FSUIPC 5.15 sees it in the Axis Assignment tab as: Throttle movement - Joy 4 X Axis# Prop movement - Joy 4 Y Axis# Mixture movement - Joy 4 R Axis# I cannot have all three at once, FSUPIC will only see each one after I Rescan it. If I select Prop and go to the Joystick Calibration tab 2 of 11 Prop, mixture and brakes, it will not show the numbers move when I move the prop handle. It worked in the last version. FSUIPC sees my TQ6, RUDDO pedals, and Thrustmaster Hotas. The only way I can get it to work is if I assign it in P3D’s Axis assignments Please tell me what I’m doing wrong. This is a brand new install of Windows 10 Pro and P3D 4.4. Thanks FSUIPC5.JoyScan.csv

It was the DELTA thing. I have this, a Yoko yoke, VirtualFLy TQ6 dual quad, Ruddo pedals, and the Saitek TPM, the TPM is solid, no spiking like the old Saitek yoke and quads I had.

Thanks Pete, just bought it. Never used it for assigning hardware so this is very difficult to figure out. For example, I'm on the A2A 182 and I figured out (I think) how to get the ailerons and horizontal stab to work and the prop and mixture to work on my Saitek TPM but I can't get the prop to work. It is either full in or full out, or it'll go full out and when it's full in it goes too far in so the blue handle disappears in the panel. Is there a YT I can look at on how to set up controls? Thanks

Hi Pete, I have a new PC and they installed FSUIPC on it, the latest version. But now I want to buy it and register it. Yet when I run the program on my PC it doesn't give me any option to buy it, it asks for registration details. Like the fellow above I too had v4 but now want to buy v5. How do I do this and get registration information? Thanks.

Gosh Pete, I'm extremely sorry if I offended you. I was just making sure, and yes I read the manual, I always read every manual. I tried telling people here I'm not good at this as they are, all I wanted was a little confirmation. I'll have to be careful what I post here again.
