FSUIPC and Saitek

[mars03]

Hi Pete

I have occupied myself in the last days very intensively with FSUIPC. My Saitek controller I have included and it works quite well. I only have a small problem and that the Trimwheel and the trim on the Yoke Button 3 +. 4 This works but the trim does not stop but always returns to its normal position, what have I done wrong?

These are my Settings

What works and what doesn't? You need to be a bit more explicit.

 

Generally you need to use a trim wheel OR a time up/down button, unless the trim up/down can turn the trim wheel to maintain the same values -- otherwise the two will conflict.

 

If the trim wheel is perfectly stabile (gives no readouts until moved) you might just get away with programming the trim up/down buttons to increment/decrement the trim offset, rather than use the trim inc /dec controls, but it's a bit precarious.

 

Try using FSUIPC's logging so you can see precisely what is happening -- enable event and axis event logging, and console log. Run FS in windowed mode so you can see the log window, then operate the trims.
