Differing copies of FSUIPC & Saitek pedals

[AW1312]

Hello Pete

Firstly I have updated to the new version of FSUIPC. I am experiencing issues with my CPFlight MIP board (another story) and I noticed in the CPFlight tools folder is a folder named FSUIPC. Upon checking the contents I note it is completely different to the FSUIPC folder in modules in FS9. Would this cause an issue anywhere. PMDG is listed but I no longer have PMDG installed, I now use Prosim with their version of the 737 (Jetstream).

You suggested a while back that the Saitek combat pedals I use may not be waking up when FS is started and through trial and error found the only way to get them to work was to open FSUIPC whilst FS is running, physically move the pedals so the values changed and this 'woke them up'.

I have contacted Saitek who said I don't need FSUIPC for these pedals but I was under the impression this was the best course of action to take.

Could you please let me have your opinion on this?

Thank you

Regards

No, providing it stays there. FS9 will only load DLLs in the Modules or main FS folders. Just make sure there isn't another one in the main FS folder.

Did you make sure Windows USB power management was turned off on all listedhubs in the Device manager?

Purely user preference. I don't like any of the Saitek stuff myself, so wouldn't use it in the first place..

Thank you that's been very helpful in my decision to change the pedals. I wasn't happy with them from the start.

With reference to Windows power management I checked all USB components and all were turned off.

Cheers
