fsuipc not saving any button assignments

[ferret_jack]

Hello all,

Recently had to re-install fsuipc 4, everything seems to work but it won't save any of my button assignments when I change aircraft or close fsx. When I open it again all the keyboard assignments are gone. Please help.

Thanks,

Mark

First off, please make sure you are using a cirrent version of FSUIPC -- 4758 or later. See the Download Links subforum.

Assignments and other settings made in FSUIPC are always saved in the INI (configuration file) in the FS Modules folder, as soon as you OK out of the settings. I expect you've set them for a specific aircraft or profile and then you are loading a different one. There's no way the settings will be lost -- not unless you are actually deleting the file, or loading a different install of FS.

If you are still confused about what is going on, please find the FSUIPC INI file and paste its contents here, into a message. I'll check it for you.

Regards

Pete

Thank you for the quick reply, I re-installed the program again and all is working. Can fly without your program, but it is definetly alot more enjoyable with it. Thank you again.

Hi, I read this topic with interest, since on my first return to FS since installing FSUIPC I also find my buttons not programmed. I'm not sure what acft I had open when I programmed the buttons, but they were not there when I returned to the Cessna 172 tonight. Shown below is my FSUIPC4.INI, which clearly shows what I had programmed before (a box with six rotary encoders that appears as 12 buttons.)

Can you tell me why these do not show up in all aircraft?

Thanks,

Ed Greenberg

Ah, I think I see the problem. I previously programmed these as P1. Now the device is P2. I'll go read about how to define the joysticks so they don't drift around.

They wouldn't change normally -- they will change if you sometimes unplug devices then plug them in again. The ID is assigned by Windows for connections it finds in the order it scans its USB hubs etc.

Best to use the Joy Letters facility so that FSUIPC can keep track. There's a section on this in the User Guide.

Hi Peter,

Clearly they had been replugged. I knew that, and as soon as I went back and renamed things to letters, I was OK. One documentation comment:

The lines for the buttons:

[buttons]

ButtonRepeat=20,10

1=P1,1,C65880,0

2=P1,0,C65879,0

3=P1,5,C65893,0

etc

become something like:

[buttons]

ButtonRepeat=20,10

1=PA,1,C65880,0

2=PA,0,C65879,0

3=PA,5,C65893,0

But this transformation is not documented at all. I had to experiment that the PA syntax was correct.

All working well now... Enjoyed flying around on Autopilot and adjusting heading and altitude using my rotary encoders.

The revision to the assignments when you change to lettering is done automatically. All you needed to do was edit the JoyNames section, as per documentation. The format of the button assignments is detailed in the Advanced User's document not in the User Guide as it isn't really intended to be edited by all.

Clearly too smart for my own good :)

I am having the same issue with the newest version on P3Dv4. the controls not saved to a specific aircraft. Even when i load into the same aircraft, still no controls
