FSUIPC and Ruder pedals

[dal4098]

Hello,

I recently upgraded to Windows 7 64 Bit and installed FSUIPC and FS2004. I have saitek rudder pedals and the issue is FSUIPC is not recognizing the right brake on the pedals. I installed a driver for the pedals also from saitek. The rudders work, FSUIPC recognizes that, and it recognizes the left brake, but not the right. When I step on the pedals at the same time the left differential brake kicks in because the right brake will not work. I've reinstalled FS2004 several times. I don't have any issues with FSX. I have the rudders set up with FSUIPC4 in FSX and they work great without any problems.

Is there a way I could uninstall then reinstall FSUIPC3?

Thank you for your time

Regards,

Jonathan L.

How are you assigning them, in FS or in FSUIPC?

From reports already in from other Saitek users (see some other recent threads here), the Saitek devices or drivers seem to occasionally be a little slow in responding, and fail the new safety meassure in FSUIPC -- the JoystickTimeout. A glance at the FSUIPC log file would show if this is happening as it tells you which joysticks fail the timeout.

If this is the case try increasing the JoystickTimeout value, in the FSUIPC INI file, from 15. Try 20 to start. Let me know please. I'm trying to find the best value, the lowest one which always works. Change it before loading FS.

If this isn't the reason for the problem, we'll need to investigate further.

I don't have any issues with FSX. I have the rudders set up with FSUIPC4 in FSX and they work great without any problems.

In that case, if it isn't the timeout problem, it may be related to the assignment. Did you assign in FSUIPC or in FS? If in FS make sure the sensitivity slider is full right and the null zone slider full left.

Is there a way I could uninstall then reinstall FSUIPC3?

Remove the DLL from the Modules folder, and put it back. But how can that achieve anything? The software doesn't change just because you take it out of a folder and put it back in.

If you mean remove all of your settings, so you have to start all over again from scratch, then you simply delete the FSUIPC.INI file. That contains all of the settings from the FSUIPC options menus.

Hi Pete,

Ok, I am in need of help.

I started to assign buttons and keys to fsuipc. usually I just press the button on the yoke and I select the box for FS control, and it was working great, all of a sudden it isn't letting me do that anymore. I cant assign buttons anymore. So now I got to the axis assignments. Nothing...I had just assigned things to it, but now it doesn't want to work. So now I cant use FSUIPC at all. What do I do? Thanks.

Regards,

Jonathan

Please update your copy of FSUIPC. See the Updates and other goodies announcement above.
