April 27, 20233 yr Hi, Finally after 2.5 years waiting I bought a new FS system and currently I'm busy installing MSFS and add-ons. For previous versions of FS/P3D it was a no brainer to buy/install FSUIPC. Is it still a 'required' add-on for MSFS? I mainly used it for setting up axis/buttons.

April 27, 20233 yr Axis button assignment is easy within MSFS. No real need to FSUIPC to do that anymore. The paid version certainly isn't 'required'
April 27, 20233 yr Nope. Neither the paid nor the free version is required. Haven't used the free version in years.
April 27, 20233 yr I just purchased to get Linda working with MSFS. I might set up controller profiles if they auto assign based on aircraft type. 😀 Matt Webb
April 27, 20233 yr I assigned buttons on my joystick to execute multiple actions. This cannot be done in MSFS. Also, some addons rely on fsuipc (such as the 'Pilot Monitoring Callouts' for the Fenix) AMD 7 7700X, 32GB DDR5, RTX 5060ti 16GB, 2 x Samsung 1TB NVMe, 1 x 4TB sata SSD, Windows 11 Prof

Just my opinion: not needed, unless you want to complicate things and have different control profiles for every aircraft, which to me is particularly not necessary.

Unless you remember to save your flight every x minutes you'd have lost the flight and that time would have been wasted. Don't listen to those who say it never crashes. Every sim can crash for whatever reason. FSUIPC offers so much more than button assignments although those are extremely useful. What it brings is AutoSave. Does any other utility offer that? Had a crash? No worries. Reload MSFS and load the last saved flight. Ray (Cheshire, England).

April 27, 20233 yr MSFS supports control assignments for different aircraft out of the box, even though I prefer to user Axis and Ohs for that. Autosave might be indeed the only reason the is for purchasing FSUIPC but, even then, I am not sure if non-PMDG add-ons are compatible with it. The stability of MSFS has never let me down until now, so I did not purchase it...

My sim crashed 1 mile from landing on Tuesday night after a two hour flight quite late at night. I was fuming. I may just revert to it for this reason.

I have the paid version of FSUIPC, but frankly, if I did have a crash of MSFS which is doubtful, I wouldn't even know how to save the flight.

In FSUIPC you just click the Autosave checkbox and set the save intervals. Let it run in the background. If MSFS crashes, just reopen FS and select the last saved file from fsuipc from that I remember,
April 27, 20233 yr With regard to autosave, doesn't this put a load on the system and potentially cause stutters at regular intervals? Additionally, does it work with the more complex add-ons like PMDG and Fenix a/c? I have never used this function in previous flight sims and so never thought of applying it in MSFS. Many thanks.

I don't speak from experience with MSFS but it used to work well with pmdg in P3D. I hope it saves the same parameters.
