Long LONG time user of this product. It's one of the must haves for any simmer, and I'm no exception. Beyond the WideFS ability, which I make full use of, I also enjoy it's inbuilt autosave feature (nothing worse than being on approach after an 8-hour flight only for the sim to crash and leave you in the lurch) and the weather smoothing to try and counter FSX's bad weather engine.
Now that I'm finally looking to upgrade to Prepar3D 5, I look forward to purchasing FSUIPC6
After trying to cross the pond from Dubai to Toronto 2 times, with CTDs, I decided to buy full version of FSUIPC4. And I must say, what an addon! Not only does it give u more options in terms of mapping ur gear (joysticks, rudderpedals etc.), but the great faeture of autosave really comes in handy for me!
Made a 3rd attempt in reaching Toronto, but got a CTD over the UK! Guess what? FSUIPC saved everything! EVERYTHING! PMDG 777: FMC-data, speeds, altitudes, correct fuel.... everything! Wow!
This, is a must! I cant imagine my sim without it!5/5 from me! :D
Well, I skipped from x-plane 10 to Prepar3d V3, after trying to get my Saitek throttle quadrants working close to the A320 original in XP for around two month - without any major success, sadly. With P3d and FSUIPC it was just around 4 hours of work, then the thing was done. So if you really want your flight sim hard ware working close to the originals, FSUIPC is the product I would recommend. You can assign Flaps and Spoilers detents, independent engine lever settings (thus making use of assymetic thrust possible) and you also have the possibility to assign auto save in regular intervals. Well Done, Pete. Thanks for your efforts.
I have used FSUIPC now for probably about five years. I can't imagine flight simming without it. I use it for both FSX and P3Dv3.5.
With this tool, all your controller profiles will load with your aircraft.
For instance, if I'm using the A2A C172, my throttles are the vernier (pull type) throttles and they load and are set up correctly with all of my buttons and keys because of the profile in FSUIPC.
Then if I fly my PMDG 737, my throttles are the duel levers and it will load with all of my settings, buttons and keys, ready to fly.
With this tool available, I cannot imagine why anyone would use the axis, button and key settings in the P3D or FSX menus.
I simply cannot use FSX/P3D with this tool. This tool is very handy for mapping your joystick, and with the auto-save feature, I could do a trans-pacific flight without worrying about my flight simulator crashing!
