Adding Saitek Trim Wheel

[chickster25]

Hi, I am trying to add my Saitek trim wheel into FSUIPC but there is no movement detected on the FSUIPC detection screen.

I checked some previous posts and it says to check that you are not using any saitek drivers etc..

When I look at my trim wheel under Windows >Devices & Printers, the driver is Microsoft 10.0.19041.868, although if I click on the driver details it says "HID-compliant game controller - no driver files are  required or have been loaded for this device".

The trim wheel works ok when configured directly through MSFS controls, so I am not quite sure why FSUIPC cannot see it.

 

Any ideas please?

Can you please attach your FSUIPC7.ini and FSUIPC7.log files and I will take a look.

Do you see anything registered in that window (i.e. joystick number or letter and axis letter)? If so, please let me know what is registered.

Hi John, thanks for your reply. before I sent the log files I thought I would have one more try, so I started FSUIPC before MSFS and then it could detect the trim wheel. I was able to configure it and then load MSFS and now it appears to be working.

 

Thanks

That is strange...it shouldn't matter whether FSUIPC is started before MSFS, auto-started by MSFS, or manually started after MSFS has started.
Could you maybe check this again (i.e. use auto-start) to see if you get the same issue.

Thanks,

John
