I have just installed a Ch Yoke and Rudder onto Windows Vista.Plugged in USB connections and it installed immediately without need for CD.However I am unable to locate/open any instructions for assigning buttons etc on the yoke.No problem with throttle/mixture/pitch but I would like flaps and elevator trim at the least.Any help would be appreciated.

This guide by John Cook is fairly definitive ...

The fun is only just beginning. FSUIPC has a load of undocumented features which you only learn about by trawling through the support forum.

For example the ability to programme a yoke switch to produce a series of keystrokes. As I posted somewhere (can't remember where, may have been here) I have my yoke set up so that it doesn't matter whether I'm in a 747 or a 767 or 727 or a B200 or a DC-3 etc etc etc , switch 1 down will give me the captains panel, switch 2 down will give me the FO panel, switch 3 down will give me the overhead, switch 4 down will give me radios, and so on and so forth - mostly done by making the yoke switches trigger a series of keystrokes that work through the view menu to turn things on and off.

Enjoy, it's brilliant software, worth far more than it costs.

Cheers
Gary
