There's only one FSUIPC for FSX, FSUIPC4, the current version of which is 4.70 (updated to 4.734 in the Download Links subforum).

How come your joysticks don't work in FSX? As long as Windows recognises them, so will FSX. FSUIPC is not a joystick driver. If FSX doesn't see them, neither will FSUIPC4.

I have an old Saitek wireless gamepad (a P3000), and that is seen the same way in both FS9 and FSX. It doesn't need any special drivers either. The Saitek rumble pad looks very similar (but of course it has force feedback as well), and Microsoft sites seem to say it doesn't need any special drivers.

Hi pete

my joysticks are for fs9 win xp

there not supported in fsx just wounderd if your

utility would do the trick but seems not.

if i wanted to use them in fsx i would have to change my os

to win xp pete.

thanks for your reply.

Jopysticks aren't made for one program only. they have a general interface supported by many programs.

Why does it "seem not", and why won't they work in FSX? That makes no sense.

if i wanted to use them in fsx i would have to change my os

But you can't change OS from winXP to WinXP, you just said you already used XP for FS9.

FSX won't work in anything before XP in any case.

Sounds like it needs calibrating and it's buttons assigning. Such things aren't automatic.

with the saitek the disc loads i can callberate it ok.

What disk? If you are loading other software you need their support. You shouldn't need anything loading.
