FS FORCE

Hi! I'm using Prepar3d v3.4 (latest hotfix) and FSUIPC ver 4(last version before v5).
I am trying to use my Sidewinder II joystick and keep getting the directx error. I made sure the trim commands in Prepar3d control panel were gone and that FSUIPC doesn't have ANY trim commands in it at all.
Please help!
Here's from the log file:

Those type of errors generally indicate a faulty joystick. What is the history of your joystick? Have you used it successfully with any other FS sim? Try downloading my ForceTest program from the support page and test out the various functions to make sure it is working fully.

Also, please post the contents of your C:\ProgramData\FS Force\FSForce.cfg file.

The joystick works flawlessly with the DCS simulator games. I don't get it...
Here's the config info, I didn't post the whole thing as the rest of it was just other profile data I don't use.

Edit to my reply! I don't know what I was thinking. There are NO forces showing in DCS combat. The joystick flies fine, but no forces except for the centering force. All other forces are silent.
I did use your forcetest software and everything works on the joystick there... is that a good sign or is it my joystick? I just bought it from a good seller...

Let me know.
Joe

According to the .cfg file you posted, it looks like you're using the X-axis for a trimwheel?? Are you sure that is what you wanted? And you don't have anything programmed for trim up/down via buttons? Please go into Profile Manger / Controller Assignments and review your settings.

I'm using a Thrustmaster Warthog Hotas Throttle for my trim. It has a trim wheel on it for jets.
I went through the Prepar3d settings and deleted ALL the trim buttons, even the keyboard ones.
Also - here's something else. I have to use FSUIPC for my axis. If I don't, everytime I pull back on my stick in pitch (Y axis) I get another input in 'the X axis. Not flyable. Note that I did not program ANY buttons in FSUIPC - just axis.
Does that help?
Did you see that my stick passed the forcetest software? Does that mean the stick is ok?
Joe

Due to trying to do this with half a brain tied behind my back, I DIDN'T have the Prepar3d forces UNCHECKED!
Once I did that, all the forces work great. How cool.
THanks for the OUTSTANDING support.
Joe
