Profile Question

[philldant]

Below is the .ini for my PMDG 737 (Started with house colors). When I start FSX and select any PMDG 737 I have no control or axis or buttons. I use the dropdown and open fsuipc and select the button tab click the profile box select my profile name and click ok. Now I have control of the house color 737. If I use any other liveries I have nothing again. Following the above steps I get axis control but none of my buttons.

Number one should I have to go through this each time I launch FSX or shouldn't the controls be active. I am sure it must be something that I am doing wrong, just can't figure it out.

First update to 4.80+ then come back and let Pete know if the problem still exists.

[Pete Dowson]

Number one should I have to go through this each time I launch FSX or shouldn't the controls be active. I am sure it must be something that I am doing wrong, just can't figure it out.

Look at the aircraft you have listed for your "PMDG737" profile:

[Profile.PMDG737]

1=PMDG737

2=PMDG 737-800NGX PMDG House Winglets

The "PMDG737 aircraft might not match ANY of them if they all have a space after PMDG, ad the only other one you've added is the House Winglets 800.

You either need to select the profile for each variation as you load it (it will be added to the above list so you only need to do it once for each), or simply make a short version of it in that list which matches them all, such as "PMDG 737". Either weay it isn't hard nor a lot of work. You seem to expect FSUIPC to guess?

Thanks did that, I still have to open the module from the dropdown everytime I change a livery. I don't have to program anything just open the buttons tab and tick the profile box, select PMDG737 and click ok.

You've still got something wrong then. The profile box should already be ticked and the Profile name showing in the options title bar. That's what it's all about.

Make sure you are running version 4.80, and show me the INI file as ou now have it.

There you go. Since the previous time you deleted the "PMDG737" entry, which was probably not a match for anything in any case, and added two other 737s -- not PMDG?

If you want that profile for all 737's, not just PMDG'd, you just need to replace all three of those lines by "1=737".

But otherwise you need to carry on what you are doing, selecting the PMDG737 profile each time you load up a new 737 that you've not yet assigned. There can't be thousands of them. Eventually you'll have them all listed.

As I said, FSUIPC cannot guess that you want an aircraft it hasn't seen before assigned to a specific profile. it's up to you to tell it!

Regards

Pete

The "PMDG737 aircraft might not match ANY of them if they all have a space after PMDG, ad the only other one you've added is the House Winglets 800.

You either need to select the profile for each variation as you load it (it will be added to the above list so you only need to do it once for each), or simply make a short version of it in that list which matches them all, such as "PMDG 737". Either weay it isn't hard nor a lot of work. You seem to expect FSUIPC to guess?

No sir I don't expect anything. I started out by creating a profiled named PMDG737 while I had the PMDG 737-800NGX PMDG House Winglets loaded and created all of the button and axis settings. I wrongly assumed that the aircraft all began with PMDG. I see now that they all begin with "Boeing" and that now I modified the .ini to a simple "Boeing 737" (without the qoutes) all of my PMDG 800 and 900 aircraft load with that profile. Please do not talk down to me, I make every attemp to resolve an issue before posting, however I thought that purchasing and registering would provide me with a certain amount of support.

Actually, with the setting "ShortAircraftNameOk=Substring", they don't need to actually begin with the characters provided, they will match anywhere within the name.

Sorry, i din't think i was "talking down" in any way whatsoever. I try my utmost to help everyone who comes here for help, whether they purchased anything or not. You can surely see that if you browse a little here. I think you are being very unfair, especially when I go out of my way to help 7 days a week at almost any hour. I don't think you'll find many other products supported as well.

I aplogize for being short and unfair. Over the past few weeks I have spent several hundres of dollars on aircraft and all of the new addons such as FS2CREW, FSCommander etc etc, and spent more time configuring and very little time flying. Just frustrated I guess.

So with this setting: ShortAircraftNameOk=Substring and this profile: [Profile.PMDG737]

1=Boeing 737

I though that all versions from the 600 through 900 would use the settings. I will have to check the 600 and 700 to see how they list out.

Well, that PMDG one didn't have "Boeing" in the title. You might need another line too:

2=PMDG 737

There's no practical limit on the number of lines here. You could have simply added all your aircraft to the Profile as you loaded them for the first time, but otherwise these generic substrings will work. Note that you'll also get the default FSX 737 in this profile as well, i expect.
