FSUIPC sees any normal joystick connected without an interfering driver and which has an ID assigned by Windows.

 

Does FS see the throttles?

 

Is the device listed in the [JoyNames] section of the FSUIPC INI file?

 

Please always also state the Version of FSUIPC, and the version of FS -- FS2000, 2002, 2004, FSX, P3D1, P3D2?

I will have to get the version I am on. Its wierd sometimes P3D V2.5 see the joysticks and sometimes it does not. I rebooted last night and they were listed in P3d and fsuipc did pick them up. But they disappeared from the list when I checked later. Very strange. Thanks Pete

Are you using Windows 8 by any chance? A lot of folks have problems in Win8 and 8.1, especially with Saitek devices. Check that you haven't got Windows powering off USB connections to "save power". There are solutions around but you'll need to search.

 

I have seen reports that it may be fixed in Win10, so it may be worth upgrading. Win10 is a free upgrade for 12 months.

Yes I am using 8.1. Seems like I saw the same thing somewhere. I research that...Chris
