Renaming BUO836X boards?

[matta757]

Hey all,

Does anyone know if it is possible to rename the BUO836X boards so that when I plug them in, I know which is which? I am having a devilishly hard time keep track of them within FSUIPC and everything and would love to rename them based on their locations (ie, PEDESTAL, OVERHEAD-LEFT, OVERHEAD-RIGHT).

Anyone know how to do it?

Regards,
Matt

I think it's flashed into the ROM of the board Matt.  I know Leo offers a free service to rename it to whatever you want when you purchase but it can't be done within Windows.  It does get a unique USB assignment though which is what the likes of FSX & FSUIPC sees in order to differentiate controllers.

You know your way around REGEDIT?

Type regedit in "Run". go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\MultifunctionAdapter\12\OtherController

or maybe your pc have a "joystickController" option under 12.
Find the BUO836X entry
Change the Identifier value

Don't blame me if your PC explodes Back up your system state before altering values!!!

Hi. tried this at home on my WIN7 system witch is also running a buo386x board. This board is called 737 TQ Revolution Simproducts.
Found it here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\MediaProperties\PrivateProperties\Joystick\OEM\VID_1DD2&PID_2008

A bit different from my XP on work.

You can use the "Find" command in regedit to search for your card entry.

You can alter any info in the registry.
Or I could just say that I'm happy about the performance of my new CPU. Anybody else here got the new Boeing CPU?
