Henry,

Are you saying that if I use FSUIPC to configure all my controllers, I could keep both the yoke and the stick plugged into my computer? Assuming I create a profile for each plane in FSUIPC, then when I start a sesion with say the Piper Cub startup scenario, the joy stick would be active and the yoke would not be active?

Yes

I have a Saitek X52, CH Yoke, CH Throttle quadrant and CH rudders all plugged into my system. When I load the P-51 - the x-52 gets selected. When I load the A2A B-17 - the CH Yoke gets selected and the TQ gets configured for 4 throttles - Load the Cessna 310 - yoke and TQ for twin prop, etc. In my case, I have the buttons on the TQ set for common tasks ( open canopy, pitot heat, master switch, etc) so those are always available in every profile.

 

Once you take the time to set up the profiles with FSUIPC, it gets handled automatically.

 

Yes, there are other ways of doing it with individual config files and batch files with different icons - but why? FSUIPC is the "one stop shopping" of controller management IMHO.

Thank you guys. I have to get busy now.

Good stuff guys!

Hi vgbaron,

 

Your last paragraph above,05 May 2016 0458pm refers

 

I fly only fs9 and fsx and don't use FSUIPC. Can you please point me to the info where I can learn the other ways, using config files, batch files and icons.

I have the rcbarend info from Oct 2006 but cannot seem to get it to work. He also writes of doing it in fs9 but I have spent hours with the avsim search engine to no avail.

I have CH yoke, TQ and pedals.

 

Any help much appreciated

 

Mike
