After years of happily using the Thrustmaster HOTAS when flying Airbus aircraft in FSX it suddenly developed a mind of its own. When controlling the pitch using the stick the throttles move in unison with the elevator axis. When you ease back on the sick to rotate, the throttle comes back as well and if back pressure is maintained long enough, throttle reaches idle then the reversers are deployed. (Not great for take off!!!) All axis are set properly in the Controls menu. When all axis assignments are deleted, imput via sideways movement of the stick (ailerons) and theHOTAS throttle do nothing as expected, but moving the stick forwards or back still moves the elevators and the throttles. If I disconnect the Thrustmaster HOTAS and connect my CH Yoke and TQ6 throttles all is well.

 

Furthermore, my system is dual boot (both Windows 7) and my Thrustmaster HOTAS behaves in FSX in the other installation. Seemed to happen when reinstalling Aerosoft Airbus X Extended but this could be coincidence.

 

Could I have messed up a file in FSX? Could it be FSUIPC (I don't use the axis function)?

 

Please help!!

You could assume FSUICP is messed and up delete the FSUICP.ini file in the Modules folder (after backing it up of course).

 

Run the sim again and see what happens.
