Modifying FS9.CFG (FS2004)

FS9 key/command assignments are very similar to that of FSX however; assignment changes
are not made in the standard.xml file, but in FS9.CFG.
- For Windows Vista/7 users:
Go to "X":\Users\<your_name>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FS9.
Note: Since "AppData\Roaming" is a hidden directory, you need to type the whole
directory path. Instead of <your_user> you put your own name e.g.
"X":\Users\Angelique\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FS9 where ""X" should be
replaced by the FSX drive letter.
- For Windows XP users:
Go to "X":\Documents and Settings\<your_name>\Application Data\Microsoft\FS9.
Note: Since "Application Data\" is a hidden directory, you need to type the whole
directory path and instead of <your_user> you put your own name.
- Your own fs9.cfg file offers, with the usb pad connected, the following entry:
[JOYSTICK_MAIN {DEAAC6B0-E5A6-11DF-8001-444553540000}].
Note: All the characters between {xxxxxx xxxx etc} will differ on your PC.
- Where you need to look for is the [JOYSTICK_MAIN xxxx] section.
- Find here an example of a fs9.cfg file:

Find right below an extraction from my own FS9.CFG related to this particular section.
The "AXIS" refers to sliders when it comes to the Multi Switch panel and "BUTTON"
items to for example the pushbuttons.
