Joystick Button Profiles

Recommended Posts

Hi John

Up until recently, I only ever flew the PMDG737 and I had all my buttons assigned as necessary.  Now I also fly the FSR500 and I want to assign the buttons for that aircraft. But when I originally made the assignments for the PMDG, I didn’t make them Profile Specific. 
How do I now make the PMDG assignments Profile Specific so that I can create a separate Profile for the FSR500 assignments? I’m frightened I’ll lose everything I’ve created already if I don’t do this correctly. 


Thanks

Bill

First, run MSFS and FSUIPC7 and load the PMDG aircraft to the ready-to-fly state. Then, open the FSUIPC7 axis assignments panel and create your profile lets say you call the profile PMDG-737. You will be asked if you want to import your axes - agree to this. Then click Ok, and then exit FSUIPC7.

Next, open your FSUIPC7 in an editor. Find the profile section and edit the aircraft name to use a substring, e.g.

Quote

[Profile.PMDG-737]
1=PMDG 737

Next, rename all the following sections to make them profile specific:
    [JoystickCalibration] -> [JoystickCalibration.PMDG-737]
    [Buttons] -> [Buttons.PMDG-737]
    [Keys] -> [Keys.PMDG-737]

and also the following, but only if using them:
    [Auto] -> [Auto.PMDG-737]
    [LvarOffsets] -> [LvarOffsets.PMDG-737]
    [InputEventOffsets] -> [InputEventOffsets.PMDG-737]

Then re-start FSUIPC7 and you should be good-to-go.

Cheers,

John
