I am sure this has been discussed somewhere in the years since Aerosoft's Airbus simulations came out. A quick search for "Aerosoft A320 Airbus Joystick Setup" did not help. I saw a few websites talking about this but my head nearly exploded from the overly complicated hoops to jump through.
I own Aerosoft's Airbus Extended A319/A320/A321 aircraft and cannot configure my joystick and throttles for use with them. The control surfaces are dead in the simulator and FSUIPC is no help in getting around this. Aerosoft has their own installer operations center kind of like PMDG does and there is a Joystick Advance menu feature in there where it warns you to only use this if you can't get your controls to function in the simulator normally. Setting up the axes in this did not help either. Of course it didn't help that the Installer only looks for the FSX Control file, rather P3D's.
Long story short. You guys who fly the Bus in P3D, how did you setup your joystick and throttle? Why is it even this complicated to start with? Aerosoft decided to be different? If anyone has a lamens term guide on setting controls for the Aerosoft Airbus I would appreciate seeing it. Thanks.
