Sir,I've come across a problem that I know you addressed earlier in this forum, but I have another question for you. Like another user of this forum, I have lost use of the mixture lever on my CH USB yoke. I did read your reply but am left confused. Your fix was changing entries in a .cfg file. Was this the FS2002.cfg or the devices.cfg? Also, any entry I find for the mixture axis is listed as:AXIS_EVENT_03=AXIS_MIXTURE_SETAXIS_SCALE_03=127AXIS_NULL_03=1instead of what you presented as:AXIS_SCALE_03=64AXIS_NULL_03=36As with the other user, it will calibrate in windows, but it is not recognized in MSFS, nor with FSUIPC. I'm left scratching my head on this one. Any insight you could provide would be most helpful. Thank you.Regards,Rick

Please disregard. CFG was corrupted.

Okay, Rick. Glad to hear you got it sorted out!- BobThe StickWorkshttp://wwww.stickworks.com

Actually, the way I got it sorted out was by a full re-install. And I found that the values in the cfg files were the same after this install as they were from previous (some 4 months ago). But to my knowledge, the numbers remained the same. Huh...I would like to hear from you regarding this if you have a moment? Thanks for checking back with me.Regards,Rick

Well it's kind of hard to say, but my best guess is that the settings you had weren't for the joystick you were using. If you look at the top of each of the joystick sections, the line looks something like this:JOYSTICK_MAIN {F86CBE00-AE15-11D5-8001-444553540000}Near as I can tell, that long number-looking thing with the curly braces around it is an instance ID of some sort, although the "8001" in the middle does tend to track the joystick ID in FS (8001, 8002, etc.). Anyway, it ties the settings in that section to a particular joystick configuration or instance, I'm not really sure which. FS seems to create these whenever it thinks it sees something new show up, maybe unplugging a USB stick and plugging it into a different port. To muddy things up even further, FS doesn't make CFG file entries at all unless you go in and change something in the Control Assignments dialog. It's quite possible that what you had in the CFG file were the settings for a defunct joystick instance and that there were no settings in there at all for the joystick instance that you were actually flying with.It was a lot easier to keep track of in previous versions. Joystick #1 was Joystick #1 and it didn't really matter what the stick was, but with the new version of DirectInput getting rid of Joystick IDs and working with device types instead, I guess they had to do it that way.Anyway, without having been there and seen the CFG files change, it's hard to know for sure. You normally don't need a whole reinstall, though. Usually just deleting FS2002.CFG and letting FS rebuild it is enough to get rid of the old instances and you start with a clean slate as far as the stick goes.- BobThe StickWorkshttp://www.stickworks.com

That's certainly more than I knew before. Thanks for your time!Rick
