Microsoft Sidewinder 2

I noticed a Sidewinder 2 with the red trigger on ebay. I also have read on another forum that there are individuals using the joystick on windows 7 64 bit with FSX. In the absence of any driver support from Microsoft, they are generally using FSUIPC for assignment and FSForce for force feedback. Are...

Thanks for the reply. No, there is nothing that I can think of. I typically do not change planes mid-flight and yes; the issue crops up when I start the flight. I did do a reinstall and pasted the two custom profiles I have created into the configuration file. I am using the I'm not eager to reinsta...

Closing FSForce

Thanks for the heads up. I changed the button assignments to the highest number + 1 as per your instructions. FSForce is still opening the trim wheel gauge in profiles where I have chosen FSX for trim. FSForce trim is also functional in those profiles where I've selected FSX (it's not just the gauge...

Closing FSForce

Thanks for the reply. The contents of the cfg file (minus the data for the default profiles...to save space) are below. It still takes up a lot of space, but maybe will be of some help: [General] TrimClickAmount=125 TrimIndicator=1 PauseOnTaskSwitch=0 FSXFolder=C:\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\ dwSta...

Closing FSForce

Greetings First of all, Season's Greetings. I am writing a small program to close FSX and associated programs. I realize that FSForce opens and closes with FSX; but often enough, FSX crashes, freezes and/or the main window gets corrupted and I have to close the program from the task bar. In these in...

Profiles

Greetings I may know the answer to this before I ask, so sorry in advance :) I am creating profiles for my aircraft. I have Airbuses which employ fly by wire. I believe there should be little or no tactile feedback in those aircraft. On the other hand, I imagine there will be some vibration up the s...

G940 Stick Issue

First let me say I'm a complete newbie. OH OH :) I am impressed with the program. I do have a question though. I was going to post in bugs, but the bug is probably me. As stated in the subject, I am using FSX with a G940 controller. When I set the elevator trim to ease pressure on the stick, it work...
