Profile specific

[BudsBud]

New to FUIPC and would like to have a separate profile for my F6F and normal FSX for all my other plane.  I tried  to set up for the loaded F6F for Prifile Specific and it seemed to be working pretty well. I switched to a Douglas C-117 and nothing worked. I exited FSX and reloaded the C-117 still no joy. I really have no clue as what I'm doing so I know I messed it all up somehow.  I do need help.

By "normal FSX" do you still means with things assigned in FSUIPC. You can't mix FSX assignments with FSUIPC ones.

 

I tried  to set up for the loaded F6F for Prifile Specific and it seemed to be working pretty well. I switched to a Douglas C-117 and nothing worked.

 

Did you make any assignments before setting Profile Specific for the F6F? If not, then you obviously need to make whatever assignments you need, now. If you started off only making Specific assignments, the naturally they won't apply to anything else. That's the whole point.

 

 I really have no clue as what I'm doing so I know I messed it all up somehow. 

 

"Messed it all up"? Does this imply you did have assignments before you started on the Profile for the F6F? If so I can only see what you've done by taking a look at your settings. Find the file called FSUIPC4.INI in the Modules folder -- it'll be tagged as configuration settings.  Paste its contents into a reply here.

Mr. Dowson,

Please forgive my ignorance on all this.  I hate to bother you with my problems.  Again I am confused. You stated:  “You posted to the FAQ sub0forum, which is a repository for answers to Frequently Asked Questions, not the Support Forum. Please only ever post support questions here, in the Forum proper. You are lucky I saw it.”  I assume that I should have posted this query in the Support Forum ?

I disabled the controllers in FSX.  Removed the Aileron, Rudder, Elevator, axis in FSX.  Loaded  the F6F. Tried to follow the instruction as per the FSUIPC Users Guide.   I had made no assignments before I started the profile for thr F6F. Began with setting those axis using Profile Specific. Set up a few buttons for flaps, elevator trim. I went out to FSX and things worked well.  I then exited FSX and reloaded it. Selected the C-117 to Fly Now.  I had assumed that the FSUIPC setting would only be active when the F6F was loaded.  The C-117 came up but no controls functioned.

Please forgive my ignorance on all this.  I hate to bother you with my problems.  Again I am confused.

Er, yes, that's what I said, and that's why I moved it here. You must have actually sought out the "FAQ" subforum for some reason, because all the links in my documentation and on the SimMarket and Schiratti websites would bring you here, not to any sub-Forum.

 

I disabled the controllers in FSX.  Removed the Aileron, Rudder, Elevator, axis in FSX.

 

You don't need to remove anything in FSX is you disable controllers. That will d it all.

 

Loaded  the F6F. Tried to follow the instruction as per the FSUIPC Users Guide.   I had made no assignments before I started the profile for thr F6F. Began with setting those axis using Profile Specific. Set up a few buttons for flaps, elevator trim. I went out to FSX and things worked well.

 

Okay. so, then, so far you have not made ANY assignments for aircraft generally, only specific ones for the F6F.

 

I then exited FSX and reloaded it. Selected the C-117 to Fly Now.  I had assumed that the FSUIPC setting would only be active when the F6F was loaded. The C-117 came up but no controls functioned.

 

Of course, because you've not made any assignments whatsoever which aren't specific to the F6F

 

Your FSUIPC4.INI file shows this clearly. You have assignments for the F6F, but none for any other aircraft. You have yet to make any. How do expect controls which aren't assigned to do anything to do anything?

MR. Dowson

From what I am seeing here it appears that I must set up in FUIPC assignments for all of the planes that I want to fly.  Is this correct ?  It is FUIPC for all or none.

I'm not sure how you really expected any controls to work with no assignments whatsoever. You already know yyou disabled controllers in FS. If you don't disable controllers in FS you risk many conflicts with what you are asking FSUIPC to do. You choose FS or FSUIPC.

 

You said you only wanted one lot of settings for all aircraft except the F6F. So you just make assignments, as you wish, but without selecting Profile mode. Then only the F6F will load profiled settings, the rest will use generic settings, all automatically. This doesn't preclude you from making other profiles later. It's all on a need basis, as you find some aircraft need different things.

 

I think you've only run into any confusion because instead of starting normally -- loading up FS with FSUIPC installed, and assigning your controls and buttons for all the normal stuff, ready to fly -- you immediately selected Profile mode and programmed only for the one aircraft. I expect quite a few button and joystick assignments might be common even to the F6F. Profiles for buttons and keys only override generic assignments where you've explicitly set them. Only axis and calibration settings are wholly either profile or generic.

"Your kind response clarified my confusion.    "You said you only wanted one lot of settings for all aircraft except the F6F.

The without selecting: Profile mode made it all clear.

Thanks for all your help.
