Thrustmaster TCA Airbus Edition - FSUIPC7.3.16

[cotor]

Hello,

I updated FSUIPC7 from 7.3.15 to 7.3.16 yesterday.

Since then my axis assigments (Flaps/Spoilers) profiles did not work any longer. They got reversed...

Looking at the Assignments and Joystick Calibration tabs, while moving the axis, the IN/OUT only gives 2 positions (see attachments):

- Mins = -16384 -16383

- Maxs = 16383 16384

Regardless of the position I move the axis to:

- the IN only gives -16384 (spoilers down) or 16383 anywhere else in the axis - There are no intermediate IN position

 

From there I updated TCA drivers, removed fsuipc.ini and let FSUIPC creates a new fsuipc.ini...to no avail there are still no intermediate IN values but just 2 (-16384 or 16383) regardless of the position of the axis...

Not sure what's happening or if there is any sort of interference...

Thank you

This sounds like your joystick axes gave changed (in the windows registry to digital on/off axes. This is not relayed to the FSUIPC update, but maybe to a windows or driver update. To resolve, see the following FAQ entry: 

 

Although the FAQ entry is for Saitek devices, it applies to all hardware when this occurs - just use the appropriate PID and VID numbers for your device,

Thank you Pete for the prompt support.

In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

The instructions read "Delete any folder inside the Direct Input folder that begins VID_06A3 or VID_0738, if you know the specific PID number or your device then you only need to delete the string that matches the VID and PID."

Running your free HIDScanner tool - The PID of interest for the TCA joystick and Throttles are in my case "#VID_044F&PID_0405" and "VID_044F&PID_0407"

As I don't want to delete something I'm not supposed to - Am I to:

- delete #VID_044F&PID_0405" and "VID_044F&PID_0407" completely from the left side?

- Or delete all 3 strings under those PIDs in the right side?: "(Default)"+"ConfigCLSID"+"OEMData"?

Apologies for the additional question here

Thank you again

Frank

First, make sure you back-up your registry before doing anything - you should always do this before editing the registry, just in-case.

Then delete completely from the left-hand side.
