Hi.

I have bought a registered copy of FSUIPC  to make customized confs of my Saitek stuff.

I have tried to configure the Mixture lever (the last on the right: the red capped one) but when I move this lever nothing happens.

It seems that FSUIPC doesn't see this particular lever. It works, instead, with the other two.

The thottle I am using is the one directly connected to the Yoke via a PS2 port.

Any suggestions?

Thank you very much to anyone will help me.

Hi Max,

if you can't see it as an axis, but you can see the other two levers, then I suspect its either faulty or you have a dodgy connection somewhere. Can you see all 3 rocker switch buttons (6 buttons)?

Can you check what axis the device is reported as having in your fsuipc log file, you should find something like this:

    16813 Product= Saitek Pro Flight Yoke
    16813    Manufacturer= Saitek
    16813    Vendor=06A3, Product=0BAC (Version 3.4)
    16813    GUIDs returned for product: VID_06A3&PID_0BAC:
    16813       GUID= {327F7D90-F534-11E7-8005-444553540000}
    16813       Details: Btns=23, POVs=(0, 0, 0, 0), Cal=x00000000, Max=R0,U255,V255,X1023,Y1023,Z255

Cheers,

Hi, John.

Thanks a lot for your assistance.

Yes, I can see all the 3 rocker switch buttons.

Where can I find out the fsuipc log file? I mean the path to the folder where this file is.

As soon as I find it out, I'll have a look at it and publish the part regarding the Saitek Pro Flight Yoke so, if you want, you can comment it.

Thank you again.

Ciao,

Max

Its in the Modules folder - if you go to the FSUIPC 'Logging' tab there's an 'Open Folder' button which will take you there. You may have to configure explorer to see system files/known extensions.

Hi, John.

Here is what I have found out.

1) the first lever (from the left to the right) of the throttle is recognized as  Z axis (Joy#0);

2) the second lever (from the left to the right) of the throttle is recognized as  U axis (Joy#0);

3) the third lever is not seen at all (when I move it, nothing happens in FSUIPC Axis Assignment tab);

3) all the all the 3 rocker switch buttons are seen by FSUIPC regularly as buttons from 14 to 19 (always Joy#0).

This is what is contained in the FSUIPC log file:

Hi Max,

the third lever should be the U axis, and the axis is given in the details for that device.

As I said, I think you have a hardware or connection problem if the axis can't be seen. Anything device/axis thats seen by windows should be available in FSUIPC.  Maybe try temporarily enabling controls in your sim to see if the sim can see it (but I doubt it!).

I also see you are using LINDA - try without this to see if that makes a difference (e.g. rename your ipcReady.lua to ipcReady.disabled), but again I doubt this will do anything either but quick and worth a try.

Is this a new device? Have you ever been able to use/assign to this axis?

Are you also using a VRInsight device? This error indicates that its either not connected or on the wrong com port: VRI port 1 "com0" failed to open

Maybe you could also post your joyscan.csv file, also located in the Modules folder.

Cheers,

John

Hi, John.

No, I have never configured this axis.

Windows does nothing when I move this axis, unlike when I move the other two.

But when I move the central lever, the Windows Property advanced panel shows the movement of the third cursor also.

I do not have VRInsight device.

Here is the content of joyscan.csv file:

Hi Max,

from what you say, it certainly sounds like you have faulty hardware or a faulty connection.

You also say:

But when I move the central lever, the Windows Property advanced panel shows the movement of the third cursor also.

By 'cursor' do you mean 'lever'? Still, I suspect that your hardware is faulty.

FSUIPC receives the axis values from Windows, so I'm afraid if Windows is not seeing that lever, then there's nothing that can be done in FSUIPC to resolve this problem. FSUIPC will only recognise the first axis movement/value it receives. Having two axis values for one lever movement sounds very suspicious - either a hardware problem or a driver issue would be the culprit.

Btw, have you installed any Saitek driver software? If so, please remove this and re-test. If not, I think you have a hardware (or Windows) problem.

Cheers,

John

P.S. Don't forget to try without LINDA, and also please post your ini file.

John, 

thank you very much for your help.

I will try removing any Saitek driver and without Linda running.

I will tell you as soon as I'll test it.

 

Thanks again!

Max
