MIP UFC Stopped working after update to 1.8.18

[vstolmech513]

After updating to the latest software (1.8.18), my UFC/HUD controls are not recognized in SimApp Pro and the exports from the game are not working on the physical MIP UFC controller. The game recognizes the controller is there and functions correctly with all of the buttons/knobs, etc., so it is being detected by Windows and DCS, just not in the SAP software.

I tried doing the repair lua function and that did not solve the problem. I tried unplugging the USB-C cable to the controller and plugging it back in, but that did not work either. I have the ST throttle, SL joystick, CR and TO panels, and the 3 MFDs connected, and they are all recognized and working correctly in SAP.

Anyone else seeing this or know of a way to roll back to the previous version of the SAP software to troubleshoot?

Please don't call it SAP, it's Simapp if you wish to abbreviate. SAP is a financial application.

 

As far as not working after the update, unplug all USB devices except kb and mouse, open Simappro, plug in the UFC and do a manual firmware reflash.

You may be shocked to learn that "SAP" is an acronym with extensive use across multiple industries. 

As is usually the case, one can determine the meaning from the context. Pretty apparent we're not talking about financial software here, on the WinWing controls subforum of a flight simulator board.
