Why did you post a support question in the Download Links section? That's, oddly, for download links. You are lucky I notced your question.

 

 

 I would like to know how to program saitek pro flight yoke buttons in mode 1 or 2 or mode 3 in the FSUIPC

 

What are modes 1, 2, 3?

If the mode switch is seen also as a button or two, you could program 6 x 3 = 18 different actions by using the conditional facilities in FSUIPC. See the button programming section of the FSUIPC Advanced User's guide.

 

I'm sure others have done this before. Take a look in the User Contributions subforum, or do a bit of searching.

Pete,

You are correct wrt programming multiple actions for a Saitek yoke button/switch using the MODE switch (3 position wheel switch).

 

I just want to pass on that, for reasons I don't understand,  in order for FSUIPC to "see" (respond to) the Saitek Mode switch, you have to go into the folder  C:\Windows\System32 (assuming the C drive is where Windows is), and find a file called SaiD0BAC.PRO, and either rename this file, or if you prefer back it up somewhere and then delete it from the System32 folder. I simply renamed mine SaiD0BACmodeswitch.PR0 and left it in the original System32 folder.  Then restart Windows and  FSX, open FSUIPC and go to the Buttons + Switches section and flip the mode switch – FSUIPC should now register the switch when it moves. I do everything through FSUIPC and don't use any of the Saitek software or create Saitek profiles, so whatever the SaiDOBAC.PRO file does (besides hiding the Mode switch from FSUIPC), I don't need it.

 

Once in a while, again for a reason I don't understand, a new copy of the SaiD0BAC.PRO file turns up in the Systems32 folder and my Mode switch no longer works, so I have to go through the above procedure again.

 

This info was passed on to me by another FSUIPC/Saitek yoke user, so I'm doing the same.

 

Sometimes we just have to settle for whatever works, even if we don't know why!   :razz:

 

Hope this helps someone,

 

Al
