I has the quadrant buttons programmed in Mode 1 using FSUIPC4.Anyone knows how to switch to Mode 2 and 3, for the additional map buttons? Bill Taylor

Two step process:

1. Rename the file C:\Windows\System32\SaiD0BAC.pr0 and unplug/plug in the yoke. Now the mode switch works with FSUIPC.
2. In the FSUIPC ini-file configure the buttons with conditions. More about this in the FSUIPC manual. You get command lines like: 15=CP(+1,8)1,1,C66846,0. This stands for button 1 of joystick 1, with the condition that button 8 (=mode 1 on your joystick) is active. Mode 2 is button 9, and mode 3 is button 10.

Hope this is clear enough, if not study the FSUIPC manual because there's a lot of info there or come back, because it took me some time to figure this all out and I'll be glad to help you here.
