Logitech G940 and FSUIPC 4.60 registered

[ec155mech]

Hey Guys,

 

So I got this Logitech G940 and Ive always used fsx setup, but after seeing a video of Frooglesim setting up FSUIPC I decided to have a go myself.

 

However FSUIPC doesnt show my joystick?? anyone have any thoughts

 

Thanks

The first thing you'll want to do is update to the latest release (4.938 as of this writing.) Try the new version with your product.

 

I believe I'm correct in speaking for Pete in saying that he cannot support a version as old as yours.

[ec155mech]

4.6 isnt really that old now is it. and I asked for useful advice Tom-D

 

@Tom-D, sry for my rant there but its a bit like saying Oh I have a flat tire on my 2008 ford mondeo, solution go buy the latest one... I mean really.. surely there will be support on something older than the newest new.

Hi,

 

why would you have an 'old' ford Mondeo if you can just get the latest one for FREE.

 

Just use latest available FSUIPC4 as it is free to update anyway and Pete can only look into code, if needed, of latest available version. That's why there is 'no support' for any older version than the current one.

Then follow precisely the manual to setup axes in FSUIPC.

 

Any joystick controller that is seen in Windows - Game Controller is seen in FSX and also in FSUIPC. But the controller is not named in FSUIPC's UI, it has just a controller number instead.

If you did run FSX or P3D then you will find in its Modules folder the FSUIPC4.ini file. It contains the section [JoyNames} where all connected (at that time) joystick controller are listed with its given number and GUID.

Here is what it looks like in mine with a connected Logitech Extreme 3D and a PPM controller:

[JoyNames]
AutoAssignLetters=No
0=Logitech Extreme 3D
0.GUID={0667FA70-5979-11E4-8005-444553540000}
1=PPM
1.GUID={7B1FD020-6F65-11E4-8001-444553540000}

So you should find your controller listed in yours, do you?

 Pete Dawson doesn't  support older versions.

When will people stop referring to Pete Dowson incorrectly as Pete Dawson? ;)

 

The simple answer is that each iteration of FSUIPC introduces fixes and updates, so supporting old versions is impossible. Also, this is nothing like a car, it's a piece of software and, if a piece of software is updated, there's a reason for it. Usually error correction, security fixes and/or including support for new functions. If you don't have to pay again, you should always run the latest version of any software. The first thing any software support person will tell you to do is run the latest patch and that's all you're being asked to do here.

If you really want a car analogy, we have a very odd coloured Ford C-MAX as our primary family car. It had a problem with the door locks... The fix for the problem was to update the software in the car's VCU (Vehicle Control Unit - the main computer, basically) to the latest version.

Just in case anyone thinks updating PC software is a pain, try updating the OS on a car!!!

 

Seriously, you lose nothing by doing it and gain all the latest updates, so it should always be the first thing you try. I would strongly suggest that you do so.

 

Cheers,

Do you then see in FSUIPC the controller axis you move on that joystick?

 

Sometime you can face the problem that a 'nervous' axis from a different controller is seen only every time you press the Rescan button. So if you have that problem then best is to disconnect the other controller BUT remember their position in the USB sockets.

[ec155mech]

I dont see any feedback on any axis in fsuipc from any controllers, I have a usb headset and a usb keyboard attached but surely thats not it

[ec155mech]

just tested all my controls and for some reason my rudder pedals are giving input to FSUIPC... all seems very odd

You'd be better off posting a new thread rather than adding to an old one referring to an extremely old version of FSUIPC.
