FSUIPC Button assignment not working for all devices


Recommended Posts

Hi,

Can someone share the FSX/P3D Saitek plugin, please?
Drivers section seems to be empty.

Fighting with X-56 Stick for 5 hrs now AGAIN. Looks ok when I thick "enable controller" in the P3D's settings, but it doesn't work with FSUIPC without any known reason :( 

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I think it's completely ridiculous that Saitek doesn't seem to even offer their drivers for download anymore. I happen to still have these files in my downloads folder, but I don't seem to have the "Saitek FSX Plugin" anymore. These are also for the X-55, but the X-56 seems very similar, I hope they work for you.

Problems with the X-55 and X-56 series were fixed several FSUIPC releases ago, and certainly in the current versions, 5.112 or 4.971, which are the curren supported versions. What version are you using?

Generally everything works best if there is NO Saitek software running at all.  Best to uninstall it, then uninstall both X-56 units in Windows Device Manager -- including drivers when the option is offered -- then re-boot and let windows sort it out.

I didn't use P3D for couple of months. I just realised the only one thing I did not update was FSUIPC. Everything's working well now.

Thanks Pete and sorry for this confusion.

I might have fixed it. If it is a hardware issue, it magically started working again. If it isn't a hardware issue, installing the FSX Saitek Plugin seems to have fixed it. I also installed the programming software and it seems to be working fine with that + the driver + the plugin installed.

http://www.saitek.com/uk/down/drivers.php The link to the plugin is at the bottom of the page, if anyone else has an X-55, this might fix it.

Where can I get drivers for x56?

When uninstalling in the device manager did you confirm to remove drivers too? That means any Windows drivers, and also removes entried from the Registry. It is that last part which is important, as the Saitek installers seem to often screwe the registry entries up, and uninstalling just the Saitek software doesn't appear to correct them.

Don't forget to re-boot after ininstalling. Re-connect the device just befor re-boothing or soon after.

Good morning,

I setup the new Honeycomb Alpha controls exclusively with FSUIPC, but I'm still having a problem.  I tried assigning the left trigger (button pressed with middle finger) for the Parking Brake command in P3d, but for some reason, it has both the parking brake and the regular brakes mapped to that button.  I disabled controllers in P3d's settings, so I'd think FSUIPC would have full control of the joystick.  If this thread is too old, I can certainly create a new topic.  Any help you can provide is appreciated. 

Regards,

Kevin Davis

Hi Kevin,

could you please attach your FSUIPC .ini file together with your .log file and I'll take a look.

Cheers,

John

First, you are using an older unsupported version of FSUIPC - can you please update to the latest release, which is 5.155.

Could you please do this and resend your log file (this will also tell me the state of your controllers in P3D).

You only have parking brakes assigned (to repeat of button 0 on your yoke,  which I presume is the left trigger that you mentioned), and no assignments to differential brakes. You could also try activating  logging for Events (non-axis controls) and Button and key operations (from the FSUIPC logging tab) and activate the parking brake to see what is logged. You could also try logging Axis controls to see if the differential brakes are assigned to an axis somewhere. Try not to move your other axis while logging this. Please post again and attach the generated log file with this info.

Maybe also try with a default aircraft rather than the PMDG 737 NGXu that you are currently using.

Cheers,

John

By the way, how are you detecting that the normal/toe brakes are applied? Are you seeing any messages from P3D (or via offsets)? Engaging the parking brake will set and lock the normal brakes. I think you just need to take the "repeat" off of your parking brake assignment.

Hi John, 

I took "Repeat" off of the parking brake setting, but now the parking brake command doesn't work at all.  I know that the toe breaks are applied because the red indicator on the bottom left of the screen says brakes when I press the trigger.  I hope this makes sense.

Kevin Davis
