This are the (new) Support Forums for FSUIPC and related products.

These forums replace the old support forums which have been running for 20+ years. The old forums contain a wealth of information on all FSUIPC products, and are still available (until the end of the year) for read-only here.

At the moment these new forums are quite empty – I will be updating the FAQ section and copying across the User Contributions from the old forums in the next few months.

Please note that you will need to Register and Login to post for support, and also to download attachments. You can view these forums without registering.

Support is also available via Discord. Please use the following invite link to join the FSUIPC Discord server:

Fixing joystick connections not seen by FSUIPC

Sometimes the installation program for a joystick does not fill in all of the Registry entries, with one entry important for the way FSUIPC works omitted. This is the Windows joystick ID number, a value from 0 to 15.

This seems to be more prevalent on Windows 8 and 10, but wherever it occurs the following might help:

Download JoyIDs here: https://pjps-joyids.software.informer.com/

Install the program then run it. You should see your connected joystick(s).

Double click on the problem one (should highlight green) and click on a different Id# to move it there. This will fix the entry in the Registry. You can move it back again if you wish. It won't affect anything else.
