March 30, 201412 yr I'm using a USB interface model 2125 from Desktop Aviator to assign some buttons and switchens and it works very well. What I'd like to be able to do is assign buttons 0-9 to choose selections from within the ATC such as selecting airports etc.. Unfortunately, I don't see how I can do this like I've done for assigning other things such as Auto Pilot options etc.. I would think this would be possible. I'm hoping I won't have to use the keyboard for these. Thanks Mitch Was born on the Northcoast, where they coined the phrase that they still call Rock-n-Roll! Mitch Collins
March 30, 201412 yr Author Drat!!! It really kills the realism having to use the blasted keyboard. Guess I'll assign the buttons to other items. Think I'm going to be ordering a miniture keyboard to at least make it less obtrusive. Thanks anyway Jim.

March 30, 201412 yr Author How do you use the FSUIPC for this? I do use that for some of my other hardware. Mitch Was born on the Northcoast, where they coined the phrase that they still call Rock-n-Roll! Mitch Collins
March 30, 201412 yr You have to have the paid version, well worth the money in my opinion. FSX controls nothing, totally disabled. I use FUIPC4 to control all my flight controls and other inputs via my flight yoke , throttle quadrants and Xbox 360 controller. Ric Elmore
March 31, 201412 yr Author Ric, I've got the paid version. My son stopped over and we got it working. Thanks for the help. One issue I did have with FUIPC4 is my TQ6 flaps I couldn't get to work unless I checked them from within FSX. Kinda weird but as long as I got it to work I was fine with it.

Mitch Do you have FSX detecting your controllers? I did and it caused all sorts of problems. What kind of issue were you having with your TQ6? If you are using A PMDG product, PMDG warns against it, however I had zero issues with the B777 and 737 NGX. Sometimes you have to reverse the settings in FSUIPC, especially "Spoilers" and "Flaps", Ric Elmore
March 31, 201412 yr Author Ric, as I am doing a lot of modifications right now I think I'll try to uncheck as many of the assignments as I can within FSX and make sure they're running through FSUIPC as much as possible. I'll try again with the TQ6 and see what happens. If I remember correctly, I think I couldn't get it to recognize the negative number when trying to set. I thought I had tried every option including the reverse setting with no success. Everything was working from within the Control Panel calibrating area. When I checked the setting back within FSX and went back into FSUIPC it worked again. Haven't used the PMDG yet but would like to try it eventually. Especially, if I rebuild my system for faster frame rates one last time. Mitch Was born on the Northcoast, where they coined the phrase that they still call Rock-n-Roll! Mitch Collins

Should work for any aircraft. Ric Elmore
