Assignments, calibration, and other settings.

[jetblst]

I am using FSUIPC, FS9, Saitek X52 system, and Wilco/Feelthere PIC 737.

I noticed that between the same 737 models (737-300) for example, that some of my asignments, calibrations, etc change, or are missing.

First, could these changes be due to saved flights? My method for FS9 is to have 5 saved flights with 5 different airline liveries, like Delta, United, Southwest, etc. I have them all start with the same WX, Loads, Airport, etc. I then simply select the saved flight with the airline I want. I then load preplanned flight plans, change loading, change airports, etc and commence my flying from there.

So could saved flights throw off my settings? Should I start with a CLEAN SLATE so to speak, set up my FSUIPC settings first, then make all of my saved flights?

Somewhere here I am losing button assignments, joystick calibrations, slider cal., etc For example my rudder and tiller are BOTH assigned to the U axis per manual instructions, with the slope set to 15. That is a nice setup, BUT, I lose the lowered sensitivity between flights somehow. I then have to recalibrate things, and it is annoying.

I understand between AIRCRAFT SPECIFIC, and GLOBAL SETTINGS, that is not the issue. I also have ALL of my axis' being sent to FSUIPC for calibration. (Which by the way is awesome when it works) WORTH the time to invest setting it all up.

So hopefully I have been at least as clear as mud here. Anyone want to take a stab at it? :)

Thanks!

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by that. Are you using FSUIPC's Profiles facility for your settings, or possibly the Aircraft Specific settings? If so, possibly you've set them for a very specific aircraft, like "... Paint 1" and not for any others. There are easy ways to make things applicable to any group of aircraft, as you wish, using either Profiles (the easiest) or short aircraft names.

FSUIPC doesn't care about any of that. But if you assigned things to one very specific aircraft they won't apply automatically to other similar aircraft unless you actually do something to make that so.

No. Saved flights don't matter to FSUIPC. Only aircraft names. If you tell me what you've done I can tell you how to proceed. Or else, please check the Appendix to the User Guide which deals with the "ShortAircraftNameOk" option. Alternatively take a look at the Chapter on Profiles.

FSUIPC won't lose or change settings. It must be down to your aircraft names.
