draci Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 Dear all, after upgrading my graphics card my multimonitor setup with a myriad of FSUIPC key and button assignments, LINDA assignments, .lua scripts, autohotkey scripts, PMDG key combos and VRInsight software assignments doesn't work anymore in FSX, I think I kept my monitor arrangement and resolutions in Windows 7 unchanged (4 monitors, with a driver update) but the graphics card running the 4 monitors has different connections (DisplayPort, HDMI) instead of DVI and unfortunately I forgot to save the FSUIPC.ini file before changing the card. Is there a way to get my assignments back? This would save me hours of work of setting everything up again. Strangely enough I had to reregister FSX again after the GPU change and I'm not sure whether I used the same validation key as I did some 20 years ago.... Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

John Dowson Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 Sorry, but if you've lost your .ini file, you've lost your assignments and have to redo ;( Check that you don't have it somewhere though, should still be there after a graphics card update - or did you trash your FS installation (no version mentioned! Always helpful....) and re-install also? Or change your hard disk/ssd? Cheers, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draci Posted April 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 Thank you John for your quick reply, No I simply plugged the monitors to the new card, no reinstall, no trashing FSX though. I mean, the .ini file is still there (I don't even know whether it has changed!), and yes I do have saved a few copies over the years, but I think they are useless for the new configuration anyway, or am I mistaken? So can it be that FSUIPC recognized the new graphics card and monitor connections when I fired up FSX for the first time after the card change and the .ini file was overwritten with new data?

John Dowson Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 Changing graphics cards/monitors should have no effect on FSUIPC, so your ini should be ok. Problems can arise for system updates/changes when joystick ids change, but these problems can be avoided by using the "Joy Letters" facility, or overcome by manually editing your ini file (or re-assigning joy ids in the registry).
