ribitt Posted June 17, 2011 Report Posted June 17, 2011 I have deleoped a strange confl;ict betwee FSUIPC and an X52 joystick. When the elevator axis is used, it also sets the right differential brake. When I look at the FSUIPC brake axis, the in/out numbers on the right brake go up and down with the e;ecators and are 0 when the elevator axis is centreed. The elevators operate normally. My Saitek pedals with the brake axes have been umpugged. All other FSUIPC and Sautek functions are normal. I have the latest drivers from both Saitek and FSUIPC. FSX with acceleration. Win 7/32. Any comments? Thanks. Ribitt

When I look at the FSUIPC brake axis, the in/out numbers on the right brake go up and down with the e;ecators and are 0 when the elevator axis is centreed. They can only do that if you have an assignment to do that. Maybe you have assignments both in FS and in FSUIPC? I have the latest drivers from both Saitek and FSUIPC. FSX with acceleration. Win 7/32. Well, that's going to be complicated then. Maybe the Saitek drivers are also assigning things? That's three places for you to look, to start with! ;-) Nothing is ever linked between an axis and an FS control without an assignment somewhere. Regards Pete
ribitt Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Posted June 17, 2011 Thanks for your prompt reply. I had already reviewed every assignment and there is nothing amiss. Another factor. I disconnected the joystick (shift + K). Nothing worked of course, but I looked then at the FSUIPC brake axis and the numbers there still moved with the elevator axis control. It's starting top look to me like a defective joystick. I will go now the the Saitek forum and see what thet have to say. Thanks for your help Ribitt

Nothing worked of course, but I looked then at the FSUIPC brake axis and the numbers there still moved with the elevator axis control. FSUIPC doesn't invent numbers. If the brake controls are arriving, it shows them. Use the Axis logging and check for yourself. It's starting top look to me like a defective joystick. Even if it was, it cannot get assignments to brakes unless something recognises them as assignments to brakes. You are missing something. All FSUIPC is showing you are the values FS is getting. The calibrations tab is nothing whatsoever to do with assignments -- it doesn't read joysticks, only FS controls! Remove the FSUIPC INI file from the Modules folder to force FSUIPC to make another. If there's then no brake movement it's an assignment in FSUIPC which you've missed. On the other hand, if you still get movement on brakes it must be in FS, unless Saitek drivers can themselves send FS controls (which is extremely unlikely). Regards Pete
ribitt Posted June 18, 2011 Author Report Posted June 18, 2011 Thank you Pete. That did the trick. I deleted the INI file and when it re-built, everything was back to normal. I could end you the corrupt file if it would be of any forensic use to you. Regards Ribitt
Pete Dowson Posted June 19, 2011 Report Posted June 19, 2011 Thank you Pete. That did the trick. I deleted the INI file and when it re-built, everything was back to normal. You had an assignment to the brakes in there then. I could end you the corrupt file if it would be of any forensic use to you. It wouldn't help me for anything, but if you want to know what you had assigned to the brakes I can tell you from that. Just post the [Axes] section only in a message here. Pete

ribitt Posted June 19, 2011 Author Report Posted June 19, 2011 It's only two lines. Will this help? [Axes] 0=0Y,256,D,8,0,0,0 1=1Z,256,F,65697,0,0,0 Ribitt

[Axes] 0=0Y,256,D,8,0,0,0 1=1Z,256,F,65697,0,0,0 No. It wasn't an axis assignment then -- must have been a button, assigned in [buttons] section. I know early editions of Saitek yokes had a problem sending a spurious button press when other things were used. Maybe you have a similar fault on your equipment. Regards Pete
