FSUIPC 4 and Sidewinder 2 ffb yoke

[hpwells1]

I have built a ffb yoke from a sidewinder 2 joy stick and I think it is working however when I connect it to my simulator LM P3d4 all goes crazy.  I disconnected my original yoke, and made sure that all ffb assignments were turned off in p3d but when I start p3d and if I move the yoke, the rudder pedals ,throttles and the views keep changing.  It will not work.  Is their a procedure that I need to do when using a ffb yoke because I still need to us the throttle and rudders and the buttons and switches that I am using thru fsuipc.  I am using a software called XP Force also.

 

Thanks

Your subject title says you are using FSUIPC4, which cannot be used with P3Dv4 -- FSUIPC4 is for FSX, FX-SE and P3Dv3.

If you really meant FSUIPC5 or FSUIPC6, then you need to know that FSUIPC does not support FFB. For that you need to assign axes only in the Sim.

If you really want to use FSUIPC for axis assignments and do away with the FFB aspects, then it is best to disable controllers in P3D, not merely de-assign things.

For help deciding what's wrong with your FSUIPC5 or FSUIPC6 assignments and calibrations you will need to show us your FSUIPC5 (or 6) .INI and .LOG files, from the same folder are the .DLL module itself (P3D Modules for FSUIPC5, or wherever you chose for FSUIPC6.

Sorry, I don't know XP Force. Is that to do with X-Plane?
