At this time, you cannot use the newer HUD software with older products. However, our goal is

that all Flight products will eventually utilize the same software.

Re-calibrate Flight Sim

If you are having trouble with calibration in Flight Simulator, but your controller seems to be OK

in the Game Controllers test screen, then you may need to rebuild the config (cfg) file. Here's

how:

1. Press and hold down CTRL+SHIFT, then start Flight Simulator and start a new flight.

2. Continue to hold down CTRL+SHIFT until the game is in Cockpit view. You can then let

go of the CTRL+SHIFT keys.

This will reset all the controls in the simulator, so you will need to move the controller in the full

range of movement, for all the axis at least 4 times.

NOTE: When you rebuild the config file, some of your joystick settings may change. This

should work for FS2002, FS2004 (FS9) and FSX.

folders.
