Didn't assign Joy Numbers

[13Aces]

Pete,

I am making a reduced overhead for my cockpit and whilst waiting for some annunciator parts to arrive I impatiently decided to attach the almost finished project and get the switches assigned via ifly2fsuipc.

This is where I have run into a problem - not unexpected since I have not yet used Joy Numbers.

Following is a convoluted report on what is happening and what I am trying to do i.e. unplug and re plug an overhead using 3 of these cards.

 

I have attached to my sim 6 Bodnar cards and 1 phidget LED 64 card (another Phidget LED 64 to be added soon).

The cards:

BU0836A (Yoke) attached via Hub 1 – is OK

BU0836X (Throttle) attached via Hub 1 – is OK

1 * Button Box (MIP switches) – attached via HUB 1 – picking up switch inputs previously assigned to the steering tiller card switches (which was originally attached to HuB 1 but is now attached to HUB 2)

 

BU0836 X (Steering Tiller ) now attached via HuB 2 – steering tiller axis remains ok.

 

2* Button Box – attached via HUB 2 – not ok.--- I set 1 of these to run the lights panel but it “lost” these inputs after it was disconnected to repair a wire connection issue.

 

Hub 1 is a powered 7 port Hub and Hub 2 is 7 port but unpowered (although it can have power attached)

 

I will have to disconnect the ovhd again when the parts arrive so is it best to leave all switch programming until I will no longer need to remove the USB connections?

 

Or can I “rescue” any of the existing misplaced assignments?

Sorry for the convoluted description – hope you can make some sense of it.

William

All of your assignments will still be there, just with the wrong joystick Id number. You could either try to locate each in the INI and change the ID used, or, probably easier, use the JoyID utility to change the IDS.

Either way, once they are correct, change to using Joy Letters, so FSUIPC can track devices when you disconnect and reconnect them.

Pete,

Thank you very much for your fast reply. So by using the JoyID utility I have , by luck!!, now got Throttle card =OK, Yoke card=OK, MIP Button Box =now OK. Haven't tested but am assuming the Saitek Rudder Pedals will be ok also.

That leaves me with the 3 cards ----2*Button Box and 1*BUX card in the new Overhead. I hadn't assigned very much to them (only the lights panel including the APU and Engine start switches).

So my plan is to now assign Joy letters to all cards and then start afresh with the assignments in the three cards in the overhead. Does that sound sensible?

Once I get the joy letters in place then I can remove the ovhd to continue work installing the annunciators and I will not lose any completed assignments.

Yes.

Good morning Pete,

Aha I managed to get my "lost" assignments back using the JoyID utility and have set auto assign to Yes and all is good. Thank you very much for your guidance.

Take care,

William

PS - You have helped me before (several years ago) but for some reason the site didn't recognise my email address, which hasn't changed, and I had to Register again - hence the low number of posts.

Your registration might have been lost when SimFlight changed servers and software systems. I think a lot of folks lost access temporarily. Probably the conversion of the database only included users active within a certain period.
