gstew Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Hi, Switching from a plane to a helicopter the other night I foolishly unplugged my saitek yoke and rudder pedal and then plugged in a logitech joystick and the same pedals to a different usb port while fs9 was running( I know,it was late at night). It worked fine but when i reloaded the sim after that and all my fsuipc assigned controls were unresponsive so I had to re-assign everything in fsuipc for my planes ,I only use fsuipc with joystick disabled in fs9. Everything is working fine with my addon planes and I now back up my fsuipc.ini every time I change something, but the reason I'm posting is that the logitech joystick and saitek rudder pedals no longer work in the payware helicopter(Dodosim) I was using. They show up fine in fsuipc but in that one add on the joystick pulls back and to the right and is uncontrollable, the pedals don;t work at all,but show up in fs9 assignments as z axis and register in fsuipc normal. Any ideas? I've tried uninstalling the logitech joystick by removing all logitech files but I think I need to remove some stuff from the registry to do that,there's a "logidevice" entry that I think may be it but not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks, Grant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can avoid all that sort of bother by using joystick lettering instead of numbering. The numbers can be changed by Windows if you unplug devices, especially if you plug them in differently next time. Please check the chaapter in the user guide for this, it is entitled something like "Keeping track of multiple control devices". Once you use that you'll not have similar problems again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I very much doubt that simply unplugging things and plugging them back in has changed anything other than the numbers of the devices. Instead of starting again trying to reassign you would have been better off editing the INI file just changing the numbers to suit the new Windows assignments -- they are listed in the INI in a section called [JoyNames]. Before doing anything else, change to using the letters. Then you'll have to work out which device to assign for what all over again I suspect. I you still had your pre-disaster INI it would have been a lot easier to sort out, comparing the new numbers with the old. Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
