HAGAR: My error. I didn't see Adobe AIM in my programs -- I don't have it -- so I assumed you meant Adobe 9. I will reinstall it.

Speaking of stress, I downloaded an airplane I can relate to this morning. It was made in Belgrade in 1927 by two Serbs with unpronounceable names and is called "the Daint George". One of its instruments is a hook on the panel from which there hangs a gold pocketwatch. I think you have to wind it up occasionally.

[DenisH]

HAGAR  Yes. That's exactly what happened. Thanks very much for the guidance.  I think it's straightened out now.  

PS  Sorry for typo. The little Belgrade plane is the  "Saint George" Do you guys know it?

ROM  Have adjusted the zoom per your advice. Thanks for the tip.

ROM: You mentioned you have a AV8R joystick? Have you had problems with commands? I programmed my sticK several times to have the snap-to-panel on button 4, which u recommended in one post.  It worked for a few flights and then went dead. I tried using toggle #3 and that didn't work at all. I went back to a new profile but my stick absolutely refuses to recognize shift + number 0, which is the snap to panel command. Stick also frequently responds to a command not profiled by me?  think it may be faulty. Do you or anyhone have a number for Seitek in the USA. The one I have no longer is in service.   Incidentally, I use the left shift  + number 0. I tried right shift and that doesn't respond either.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  I'm getting a yoke and pedals shortly but still like the  stick since I am fond of tail draggers.

Welcome to simv dinny
My guess is that you are using the profiler that comes with the stick.....try turning it off and then go into controller options in the game and map out the buttons from there, or if you prefer the profiler then be sure that you keep the selector dial on the same setting as you had it on when you set it up originally, hope that helps

Rom:  Thanks very much for the advice.

ROM: Have you had any trouble with AV8R stick suddenly uninstalling commands? I followed your tip about using the button under

Denis
I would suggest to leave the profiler turned off, then go into Controls/assignments within the game and set-up all your buttons on the stick from within the game, to change assignments within the game you just DBL left click on the command you want change then press the new button to assign the new key.  
The profiler that comes with the stick is really un-necessary unless you are wanting different key combinations for different planes and things like that........which I dont think what you have in mind
I just went back and re-read your question and perhaps you have changed the rotary mode selector button on the front of the stick which could change the inputs you have programed, so just turn that dial and see if your functions come back .......I would still suggest you leave the profiler off and re-assign within the game....it is easier than using the software......hope that helps.

PS.
even if your not quite ready for the yoke, the pedals will make such a huge impact on the realism of your sim enjoyment, I use CH pedals not Saitek, but I'm pretty sure that all you need to do is plug them in and the main axis' should just automatically work with no........complications, or need to program.......just enjoy them 8-)

ROM:  Many thanks for the advice. I haven't ever turned off the control stick and that may be the source of my frustration.  I'll let you know.  Much obliged.  

[DenisH]

Excuse me, I meant the control, not the stick.

[Romflyer]

Denis, did you figure it out?

[DenisH]

ROM:  I tried  to program  the buttons by using the internal settings and still no luck. I did find a number for Saitek tech support here in the USA and  they said it is probably a defective stick. I am sending it in for either repair or replacement. Thanks again for your help. Incidentally, the USA number for Saitek tech assistance is 619 683 9830.  They're in San Diego.

Well lucky for you you've got a back-up 8-)............sounds like just the push you need to open up that shiny new box with the yolk and pedals sitting in it..............everything in life happens for a reason  ::)
