Copy to FSUIPC .ini Problem.

[Herb]

New Mobo, processor, ram and video installed. FSX on a internal seperate Hardrive. FSUIPC v.4.8 new installed and registered. Run:WIN7/64bits as before. Use same hardrives, a new window 7 was created and the previous was renamed to windows.old

Problem: when I copy and past from my former FSUIPC Ini-file the [Profile.Piston] entry, it won't work. I did made a new Profile, same name, for the [Profile.Piston] 1=Cessna Skyhawk 172SP Paint1. I can make new assignments, but if I copy and past from my former saved Ini-file, Those Buttons are not responding from my Saitek Joystick. It look like a security problem, but I can't lay my hands on. Any help? Herb

Hi

Did yoy see the missing number 10 (ten), should be in line I think (8 - 9 - 10 - 11 - ...).

[Herb]

Yes, I see, but this was working before on my old system. From 11 start a new sequence. Pete explained it some time before. I change it now, did not helped. Herb

What I notice the Joystick assignment is now reversed. But, this should not make any different to the Buttons numbers. Here is the old one:

[JoyNames]

AutoAssignLetters=Yes

1=Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals

1.GUID={23313DE0-C80B-11E0-800B-444553540000}

A=Saitek X52 Flight Controller

B=Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals

B.GUID={23313DE0-C80B-11E0-800B-444553540000}

C=<< MISSING JOYSTICK >>

J=<< MISSING JOYSTICK >>

0=Saitek X52 Flight Controller

0.GUID={23313DE0-C80B-11E0-800A-444553540000}

If this is the problem, How do I correct it? Herb

I updated to FSUIPC v.4.27 No changes

Well of course it will do if the buttons numbers refer to the wrong device. How did the letter assignments get changed? The whole point of letter assignments is to keep the same assignments no matter what!

You will notice in your new INI that

A=Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals

and all your buttons are assigned to A, the pedals!

Just swap the As and B's over in the [JoyNames] section. Only 4 lines to change, one character in each.

I updated to FSUIPC v.4.27 No changes

I cannot support such old versions - that is years old! Current is 4.827 with interim update 4.828 due out later today.

Hello Pete!

Thank you for your reply and advice to swap A and B. On my 2nd reply I stated that I updated to v.4.27 last night, but it did not changed anything. I know, you do dislike if we are using older version. Thanks again and I will be OK. Herb

But why go back to such an ancient version? In fact, I don't think 4.27 even supports lettered IDs for devices! The current version is 4.828, the previous version is 4.827 as I said.

Pete! I'm very sorry, made at typo, I updated to v.4.827 last night. I'm a Dumkopf. I fixed the 4 entries and no more problems. I did copied the rest now and all is working fine. Thanks again, you helped me saving many hours of work. Herb
