Buttons and Switches

[kenml]

If there's some instruction on the following would someone please point me to it. I want to know if I can use the FSX button and switch configuration while using FSUIPC A/C specific input for the CH throttle Quadrant, CH FS Yoke and CH Rudder Pedals? I want to use the standard views for all AC.

I don't really understand the question fully, but if you mean can you assign buttons in FSX as well as in FSUIPC, the answer is yes, of course. Just don't assign the same button in both places unless you really do want both actions to occur when you press it.

If you are just asking whether you can have non-aircraft specific buttons assigned in FSUIPC as well as aircraft-specific ones, again the answer is, again, yes of course. Simple untick "Aircraft Specific" when assigning global functions to buttons. When the aircraft specific option is checked you are assigning/viewing specific assignments, when it is unticked you are viewing/assigning global assignments.

The same applies to Keys, but not to FSUIPC joystick calibrations or axis assignments, which are either specific to the current aircraft or not -- there's no mixing for those two categories.

Thank you Pete for your words of wisdom and being able to read through my questons. With what you told me I configured the control Axis and Joystick functions using FSUIPC for specific planes, and used the FSX generic button and switchs for the global assignements. Everything appears to be working just fine now.
