Wingwin setup to DCS

[GenX Test Dummy]

I bought wingwin and can't seem to set up properly. Just when I think i'm on to it, the stick won't work. I'm not exactly great with software. Any direction will be helpful.

Do you have winwings own software installed?
How does the stick not work?
What winwing hardware do you have.
I have lots of Winwing and it's all trouble free in DCS

I've had issues with some peripherals disabling my winwing wing kit and have had to unplug those to get it to function.

Answer:
SimAppPro-Yes to that.
Gear: Throttle Base: Orion2 HOTAS Metal Warthog, Throttle Grip: NavyAce Metal Throttle Grip(With Dual Throttle Connector), Joystick Base: WINWING Orion2 Joystick Base
Joystick Grip: ViperAce Metal Joystick Grip(None Shaker Kit).

Somehow I made two profiles, one for the throttle base and f-18 handle, the other is just the
WINWING Orion Joystick Base 2 but no stick. for the life of me I can't seem to make anymore profiles?

I only have the monitor, mouse, keyboard and the gear i mentioned. I'm not sure how i made profiles, but can't make others to correct my previous errors in SimAppPro.

I assume you are in the controls binds in DCS.
It's perfectly possible the profile for the joystick base is also for the stick.
1. Make sure you are in the right aircraft.
Use the drop down menu until you find one called stick.
You'll get various bindable buttons. Find the trigger (second or first detent, doesn't matter)
Find the joystick base. And double clock one of the trigger opinions. You'll get a small window and then press the trigger on the stick and see if it will register.
If it doesn't. I'm guessing the connection between the stick and base isn't right.

I'll give it a try, thank you.

Gunfreak, I found my issue. total dumb mistake, I never took the protector off the input line on the stick. I went to update it using APPSIM PRO but now I can't sign in. lol
Thanks for all your help,

Good to know you found the problem. Simapp pro is terrible. And i try and use it as little as possible.
