FSUIPC4

[Bigsky10]

Hi all,

I am currently using FSUIPC4 UpdatedByVersion=4972a. My USB devices are starting to work intermittent. Especially my keyboard. The question I have is is I unhook them and replace them what am I going to have to do with my configuration settings. Will FSUIPC4 find the new devices and recognize the profiles I have built or will I have to start over and build new profiles.

Thanks

Dick

That's out of date. The current supported version is 4.974. Please update.

It will be fine IF you use Joy Letters. FSUIPC then assigns by letter instead of the Windows-assigned numbers (0, 1, 2 in your case). There's a chapter on this in the User Guide. Easiest thing to do is simply find this in the INI:

[JoyNames]
AutoAssignLetters=No

and change the "No" to "Yes" before you next run FSX and most certainly before you disconnect and reconnect things. That will use letters A, B and C. If you want more meaningful letters, like R, Y and Q you'd need to do it manually instead, as described in the manual.

I downloaded version 4.974 and installed it as administrator. I used registration key to finalize install. FSUIPC4 install shows everything is installed. I saved the log which shows "Version 4.974 found.
Installed version is later: it is not overwritten. " INI still shows UpdatedByVersion=4972a.

I have included these files. I rebooted computer to let changes take place.

Thanks

Tried one other thing which I think fixed it. Ran FSX and excepted new DLL. Now ini in module shows version 4.974. I guess just didn't complete install process.

Thanks

You mean you hadn't allowed the updated FSUIPC to be loaded before? no wonder the INI still showed the older version -- the new one would have never run!

FSUIPC4 creates or updates the INI when it is loaded, NOT when it is installed. It also created a LOG file which is always useful inm resolving such things.
