Setting up your controllers

I have all my controllers running through FSUIPC7> have done this because I just could not figure out how to use the complicated (to me) SETTINGS in the sim under the CONTROLLERS  tab. Since there is no button in the sim to select "DISABLE CONTROLLERS" like there is in FSX and P3D, you must add an additional PROFILE for each controller and leave them blank. Do not assign anything to them. I call them YOKE FSUIPC, etc. Make sure that those PROFLES are selected and then setup a flight, and then you can go to THE addons TAB AT THE TOP AND your FSUIPC and setup your controllers there The advantage of this is that you can make each FSUIPC setting for a specific airplane by ticking the box SPECIFIC AIRCRAFT. Thus you can have a setup just for the DC-3 and one for say the F-16 and they are all different settings contained within to complement each aircraft.  Every time you fly that airplane, the settings for it are engaged automatically. 
You can do the same thing in the sim, but it is much more complicated and time consuming and you would have to make sure you have selected the proper PROFILE for the plane you want to use for each controller. 
Now you can also create a PROFILE for any plane in the sim for each controller and select those PROFLIES for that plane to see if you can get a better result using the sim settings rather than the FSUIPC settings. There is a lot of flexibility here, but you have to remember to select those PROFILES for that particular plane when you start the sim. 
So, that is why I se FSUIPC for my controllers as I could not figure out how to use the assorted bunch of adjustable settings in the sim. 
HOWEVER, there is now a video on YouTube that finally explains how to use them in the sim. I think it will be a big help to watch it and then decide what you want to do.
