For the record.....how do I assign the axes in FSUIPC? I have never done that before. I have always used the default axis assignments.

Hey Vic,

 

Do you use FSUIPC to control the hat key POV (point of view) or are you using TrackIR? If you are using FSUIPC to control POV how is the performance? I've read FSUIPC doesn't do a very good job. My hat key is bound to the Pan View control in P3D. This is the only control I use through the native P3D "controls" interface.

 

Thanks

Hi guys

 

I found the problem with the unreal turning effects during takeoff or landing. Go into your realism settings and change the gyro setting all the way to the left. Enjoy.

I have had the veer left and then veer right experience in FS9, FSX, P3D v2, and v3. I thought that was just how it was but it is interesting to hear that some people just cruise down the runway nice and straight. Maybe all of my aircraft just came with a flat tire.

Hi Benjamin - I use FSUIPC to control everything. I have had no performance issues related to it. Originally I had everything BUT the hat switch set in FSUIPC. The hat was set within P3D controls. Decided to move all to FSUIPC - noticed no change in performance at all.

Thanks for the info Vic. I think I will give the hat key a try in FSUIPC. I would love to go into the "controls" interface and finally be able to click the "disable controllers" check box.

Don't make the mistake of assigning the HAT switch as a button in FSUICP.

Assign it as an axis.

Oddly enough I had the same problem with my airplanes tugging hard left on the taxiway.  I have Saitek Rudder and Yoke, and have them unchecked in P3D as I use FSUIPC.  I "think" that I fixed problem by going into the P3D controls menu, clicking on the AXIS tab on the top and deleting all of the axis assignments within P3D.  I just tested and no hard pulling anymore on the taxiway.  I hope this helps.

 

Great tip.  Cured all my joystick woes, negating my need for a new joystick.  Thx!

Why do you use FSUIPC for the controller axis ? What's the true advantage ?

There is more flexibility in assigning actions. The calibration approach is more detailed. There is also the option of programmability. I got hooked on it because of the "lost joystick" bug in Windows 8 (I'm now on Win 10).

 

The one pitfall that you have to avoid is attempting to control a joystick both with the sim and FSUIPC. That's a no no and strange things tend to happen. You have to disable the controllers in the sim's UI, but it's also good practice to delete all the axes and button assignments within the sim.

 

When I first installed P3d V3, I did just that but I missed deleting the sim's avatar joystick assignments. The poor little fellow would just walk in circles.

Ah!  Ok. Thx!

My favorite feature is the ability to assign different switch and stick profiles to individual aircraft. I have a Saitek X-52, ch yoke, ch rudders and ch throttle quadrant all attached at the same time. f I load the f22, FSUIPC switches me to the x52, If I fly a Learjet - it switched to the yoke. Throttles are assigned to piston, jet, single, multi automatically. Once I have the profile set I can assign it to all similar a/c.

 

I cannot fly without it. Once you wrap your head around how to program the settings, you'll never look back.

 

One caution - it's really an either/or situation. Use FSUIPC completely or not at all. It's not that it doesn't work properly, just that if you have the joysticks enabled in both - sometimes funny things happen.

ha ha This is actually my 4 ourth flight today and all the suddenly hell is loose.

 

I have now deleted all axis in P3D and FSUIPC is controlling them but i might have to restart because the rudder is jammed to the right when moving slightly to the right with Saitek rudder pedals.

 

Strange as this is the first time i encounter this problem

Michael,

 

Some people are lucky and never notice any issues having a joystick enabled both ways. But Pete Dowson has wasted months just explaining to countless people not to do so.

Thanks i think that worked
