[Mad Catz V.1 stick nto registering in fsuipc4]

Ok- at least i now know what the problem is! Thanks

[Mad Catz V.1 stick nto registering in fsuipc4]

Ok- the panel has noticed the joystick, but when i calibrate the potentiometer, as soon as it passes halfway, it jumps to the max rotation (as the PC sees it). I will have a talk to RS components (where i bought it from), and see it's the potentiometer which is playing up.

[Mad Catz V.1 stick nto registering in fsuipc4]

Hi,
I have the Mad Catz V.1 flight stick, and I have just encountered a big problem. I have just finished a 14 hour project to make my own rudder pedals- they are almost identical to those in the link.

I used a rotary potentiometer, rather than a sliding potentionmeter. I had no bearing so the potentiometer was the pivot point. I am using P3D V3.2. I was trying to get the axis to register in FSUIPC4 (full version), but it wouldn't. I then tried other axes on the joystick, but again, they wouldn't register. So it wasn't bad wiring on my part, but fsuipc was playing up. It did register the hat-switch as an axis though, but that's supposed to be a button/switch.
I then  looked on the internet for drivers and noticed that the were drivers for the joystick for windows 7/8, but not windows 10, if that could be the reason. I hadn't used the joystick since i had updated from 8.1 to 10, but i assumed it would work since my microsoft sidewinder from 2002, works perfectly.
Although having said this, it would register in p3d settings in controls.
So is there any way that the joystick would register as this is so frustrating as after 14 hours of work!
Thanks a lot

Yes, heard of SPAD. I will try that now

[Programming saitek controllers?]

OK thanks! I will try it, but when I press a button on any of the saitek panels it doesn't see it as a button pressed but I will try again.

P.S. I mentioned lua as I have seen it in other posts but it probably looked so complicated because it was irrelevant!

Thanks 

[Programming saitek controllers?]

Hi,

I was just wondering whether I could program my saitek controllers with fsuipc without rescripting the lua because if I did, I would break it, or do it wrong and waste time! My LINDA is playing up, so that's not working anyway. I am wanting to set the knob on the multipanel to a rudder/ nose wheel steering axis, as I would like to make a nose wheel tiller. Is this possible to do using fsuipc?

Thanks a lot

[P3D fiber accelerator not working at all]

Hi there,

I have 1 more use on the P3D accelerator demo version. I am going to buy it- if it will work! I have P3D V3.2, and Windows 8.1.

When I start the application with a flight in P3D running, it does register that P3D is there, as the dials move with the P3D frames. However, it doesn't change the frames at all, as when I close (and start) the app, there is no change in FPS. Also, when I start P3D in legacy mode (so I can fly my FSX CS 777), P3D isn't registered by the app, as the dials don't move. Any ideas?

Thanks a lot
