Duplicate devices in FSUIPC.ini

[BAW242]

Hi,FSUIPC7.ini per attached I have a new build PC and just did fresh Windows and MSFS install, plugged devices in and created new .ini but there are multiple duplicates. Any idea how to resolve this? And why are some known as numbers and some letters?

Thanks

David

The only duplicate seems to be the X-56 Rhino Stick..do you noy have two of these? If not, then windows is reporting this device with two separate GUIDS:

 However, it is these entries that look suspicious:

as the game controller (Afterglow Gamepad for Xbox 360) and MFG Crosswinds are reporting the same GUID.
Are you using the fame controller in FSUIPC? If not, maybe a food idea to ignore this device...

If using the JoyLetters facility (which is active by default), then all devices (device ids)  will be mapped to a letter. If you want more details, see the provided documentation - the JoyLetters are explained in the User manual.

I don't understand that ini extract you pasted as it doesn't correspond to the files you attached - there are no MFG Crosswind V2 there, probably due to the duplicate GUIDs.
And your log file shows that they were acquired twice.

Your  log file shows that it was attached when FSUIPC was still running. Please ALWAYS exit FSUIPC before attaching any files.

Your registry also shows some issues with some duplicated ids which can be corrected.

Can you. please re-attach those two files, but after exiting FSUIPC, and also attach your complete FSUIPC7.ini file. Let me know which devices are working and not working and we can go from there.

Thanks John, attaching latest files. Note that I have just recalibrated the X56 controllers using the Logitech guidance here

Because I was having a ghost input issue on the Throttle and one source said to try that. I guess that action may also have had an effect on my device IDs in FSUIPC.

I have also been doing some work on the .ini file to bring over assignments from my old build, they were not on the original .ini file yesterday.

Thanks David

If using FSUIPC for your devices, do NOT install any logitech drivers or software. If you have already installed logitech drivers, please uninstall them and let windows install the default windows drivers instead.
But your files and registry are looking a lot better, I have corrected a few things in your ini, so please try the attached: FSUIPC7.ini

Thanks John, everything is working well now. Appreciate the help!
