    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Irritating error driving me nuts.

Problem - Saitek X52 joystick - one button not working in the sim (FSX). It is the pinky button which I use for Parking Brakes.
It will not register under the regular controls nor is it recognized under FSUIPC.

All other buttons work just fine & dandy.

It cannot be the stick as it registers with the PC under Control Panel, and it works in FSX Steam edition and FS2004. Also works in DCS, Il2 & Falcon BMS.

I have tried various things, renamed the Controls files within AppData and let them rebuild. Searched DLL.XMl and EXE.XML and can find no reference which may interfere.

Occasionally it seems also that use of the button in FSX even though it does not register, it seems to crash the sim (though that might just be coincidental)

Never experienced this before and no idea what may be causing it as I have not added anything to the sim for a while.

Anyone have any ideas?

I really do not want to have to rebuild the sim (again!) nor build up FSXSE.
 
Thanks Dave I got your pre edited e-mail - as of now I have dug out from the garage my old & hardly used Logitech G 940 which I hate which at least works as intended (ignoring the inherent fluttering that it came with and they never really solved). Perhaps Santa will be nice to me this year. :biggrin-new:
