You should be okay, provided the joystick IDs haven't changed. If you've already run the FSX install, check the JoyNames section of the generated INI file -- see if they are the same joystick IDs in use in your assignments. If they aren't, you could try changing the IDs. For that you can use the JoyIDs program, available in this thread in the FAQ subforum: Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mick4658 Posted March 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 Hi Jon sorry but I am now confused i have had a look and on the old pc INI and still works correct I notice the letters on the new pc INI do not match the joystick cards there are mixed up ,,,does the letters on both have to match the devices so should be the same ie A B C D E F device match on both pcs basically I am asking if A = device ie button box on old pc should be the same as A = button box on new pc because they are not the same kind Regards Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dowson Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 Why are you cross-posting in a different topic when you raised your issues in this new topic: ? 15 hours ago, mick4658 said: basically I am asking if A = device ie button box on old pc should be the same as A = button box on new pc The letter should be the same, as this is what the assignments use. The ids that map to the letter may have changed - this is the whole point of using JoyLetters, so the letter maps to the correct joy id number. If the GUIDs have changed, you need to update your original letter mapping to use the new GUIDs. However, if that was the log/ini files you posted (in the other topic) from both PCs, it looks like the GUIDs haven't changed. This surprises me, as they should change on a new PC. Naybe you didm'y show me the correct files in that topic? I am closing this topic now. Please use the other topic, and do not post in multiple topics for the same issue.
