It was clumsy to use.

I tried telling John that but it didn't go down well.

Unbinding all 2-position switches and magneto switch in the sim and binding in FSUIPC. Right, both, start positions of magneto switch require LUA script. All well documented on this and FSUIPC forums.

Seems like Honeycomb should work with MS to get their expensive controller working in the sim.  Not users buying extra software for another $25. What have they done to try to resolve this?  It's been present since launch.  Didn't MS ship Honeycomb yokes to the YouTubers who hyped the sim up pre-launch?

It's very good IF you can install it. I've just paid for v7 from SimMarket, downloaded it tried to install it and tried to register it. Borked! I tried to download it again but the download isn't available nor is the forum. I'm not happy.

Ron-

Out with the Trolly Dolly, but I can talk you through it tomorrow. Well worth the dosh mate!

Nope. Don't need it. Don't want it. Got a TM HOTAS X here controlling just fine.

Why add complicating layers of extra code and resource users in the sim?

Absolutely

That problem is likely due to the current poor condition of the MSFS SimConnect. Al

Whatever the cause I'm not interested until this basic stuff works w/ FSUIPC.   I've been a registered user for a very long time but w/o this basic functionality it's not worth much to me.

I think you misunderstand my point. I certainly wasn't suggesting you should buy FSUIPC  -- why would I do that, or care? Rather, since many are unfamiliar with FSUIPC, I was simply pointing out that some of the current limitations, like the ones both you and I mentioned, are not inherent to FSUIPC, but rather temporary limitations do to the poor state of the MSFS SDK.

Never bought it. The freeware version worked fine for me. 

I have no use for it right now, but maybe in the future.

but if someone can confirm that it can help with the CH Throttle issue it would give me encouragement to invest the time.

I've been using Lorby's Axis and Ohs for the CH throttle problem. I couldn't get more than 50% on my throttles previously.. Had to use the 2 middle levers for throttle to get full range with MSFS controlling it. Axis and Ohs works great. I also like the fact that each aircraft has it's own profile. I could never get the FSUIPC profiles to work properly, (although I'm sure that was me and not the software) but the Lorby software is super easy to use...

I've used FSUIPC to control the CHTQ with no issues at all. In my case ALL my inputs are through FSUIPC. I use a ch yoke, CHTQ, CH Rudders, Saitek x55 and occasionally an xbox controller. All plugged in all the time. If I'm flying single engine, twin, three holer or quads FSUIPC adjusts accordingly. In some cases FSUIPC was able to indicate to me when a controller wasn't functioning properly during calibration.

If you just fly one a/c most of the time with one controller, your need might not be as great.

No I didn't misunderstand your point, I simply restated regardless of the cause of the problem of not being able to assign certain key combinations to controller buttons, without that functionality I have little use for FSUIPC.

Of course! It looks like those Swiss army knives, there is no lack of diversity

Buy it, installed it, register it, everything fine. Packed it in start routine from MSFS and I know where it is, if I needed .

thats how software has to work 👍

OK, good, that's fine, then I just didn't understand why you felt the need to repeat yourself -- no problem.   😉
