Joystick Name List

[sikorsky77]

Hi

What is the difference in the Joy Name list of a same joystick with a numeric code and a letter ?

see my list here below

[JoyNames]
0=Pro Flight Cessna Trim Wheel
0.GUID={270E96C0-6562-11EB-8001-444553540000}
A=Pro Flight Cessna Trim Wheel
A.GUID={270E96C0-6562-11EB-8001-444553540000}

1=Saitek Pro Flight Quadrant
1.GUID={F59A3350-6288-11EB-8002-444553540000}
B=Saitek Pro Flight Quadrant
B.GUID={F59A3350-6288-11EB-8002-444553540000}

2=Saitek Pro Flight Quadrant
2.GUID={F59A0C40-6288-11EB-8001-444553540000}
C=Saitek Pro Flight Quadrant
C.GUID={F59A0C40-6288-11EB-8001-444553540000}

3=Saitek Pro Flight Yoke
3.GUID={F59A5A60-6288-11EB-8004-444553540000}
D=Saitek Pro Flight Yoke
D.GUID={F59A5A60-6288-11EB-8004-444553540000}

4=Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals
4.GUID={F59A3350-6288-11EB-8003-444553540000}
E=Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals
E.GUID={F59A3350-6288-11EB-8003-444553540000}

5=G1000 PFD
5.GUID={59FDC080-803B-11EB-8001-444553540000}
F=G1000 PFD
F.GUID={59FDC080-803B-11EB-8001-444553540000}

6=G1000 MFD
6.GUID={59FDC080-803B-11EB-8002-444553540000}
G=G1000 MFD
G.GUID={59FDC080-803B-11EB-8002-444553540000}

7=Emuteq G1000 Audio Panel
7.GUID={08C873C0-D349-11EB-8001-444553540000}
H=Emuteq G1000 Audio Panel
H.GUID={08C873C0-D349-11EB-8001-444553540000}

i see that in the button of my G1000 F1Tech aircraft profile the code is like this

PollInterval=25
ButtonRepeat=20,10
1001=PF,3,C65640,0     -{NAV1_RADIO_WHOLE_DEC}-

i suppose P means that setting is associated to the Aircraft (P)rofile and letter (x) is the joystick identification

so what is the usage of the same joystick with a numeric codification in Joystick name section ?

Best regards

Thierry

This is used (by FSUIPC) to map the joystick IDs to the device letters, or JoyLetters, as they are referred to in FSUIPC.

No. P means 'Press', as in a button press. The format is described in the Advanced User guide. 'F' will be the JoyLetter, 3 the button number, etc... Please see the documentation.

FSUIPC re-writes the numeric assignment when it scans your devices and registry to determine the id of each device, then maps this to the letter used on the GUID and name.
