Hello folks,is it possible to start FSX with separate configurations for Stick and Yoke?Michael

Yes, to an extent. The best way to do it is to buy the registered version of FSUIPC.

To add to the comment above, Pete Dowson's FSUIPC (registered) allows you to calibrate and assign directX input axes and buttons based on specific aircraft. Default FSX input mapping is turned off.I use it to switch between HOTAS, 4 engine jet, 4 engine prop, 2 engine prop and single engine "on the fly".Cheers,Etienne

If you don't have FSUIPC, it's possible to do this with batch files before you load FSX. Here's what I do:1. Start FSX. In FSX, set everything up for yoke. Exit FSX so that your current settings are all saved.1. In Windows Explorer, navigate to "C:Documents and SettingsUser NameApplication DataMicrosoftFSXControls" but replacing "User Name" with your user name.2. Copy Standard.XML and rename the copy to "yoke.Standard.XML"3. With Notepad, create a batch file with name "Switch to yoke FSX.bat" and contents as follows:copy yoke.Standard.XML Standard.XMLThe batch file is only one line long. See what's going on here? Whatever control settings I last had (stored in Standard.XML) are going to be overwritten with yoke.Standard.XML (which has the control settings for yoke).4. Repeat #1-3 for joystick.Now you should have two batch files and three Standard.XML files:yoke.Standard.XMLjoystick.Standard.XMLStandard.XMLWhen you start FSX, it will read whatever is in Standard.XML. So, to switch to yoke, run "Switch to yoke FSX.bat" and it will copy your yoke settings to Standard.XML. Likewise for "Switch to joystick FSX.bat".This isn't as easy to set up as FSUIPC, and to switch settings you have to exit and restart FSX (which you don't have to do with FSUIPC). On the other hand, it's free.
