Sorry Pete; I really must be getting OLD. How could I forget to RTFM !!

I downloaded and extracted with winzip but the only .exe is wideclient which opens fs9 eliminator. There is no "install" dialogue for me to enter my license. I am doing a complete reinstall of everything after moving to Win10. It has been so long since I last went through this that the tired old brain cells are getting slow.😕 Help please

Thank you for the fast help. I will try it again tomorrow and hope that is what I have done improperly.

Procedure followed: Select plane, then create the macro and test with tab, named, and press ENTER. Then when I click on FSUIPC macro list it is not there. Other macros for the same plane ARE in the list. eg. I made macro for Right irs to NAV and another for Left irs to Nav. Right macro is in the list and works while Left macro is not listed. can anyone help me fix this? Thanks Neal Howard

This program has a LOT of great features even if you do not want to create a virtual runway. Along with Cockpit Status these two provide a tremendous amount of flight info. That, along with the capability to operate switches and enter radio freqs., etc are just a few. PKUS, it can be done from a networked PC via FSUIPC. Give them a try Neal H

Is the order of items in the dll.xml important? I noticed that some add-ons rearrange the listing. In particular, should fsuipc be last? Thanks Neal H

Brubaker: "Please enjoy my $40" Bad enough that are you ungrateful for the help you received. ...You will soon realize that your $40 was well spent on a great bit of software. Apologies in order. Neal H

On your "Settings" main page there is an option to save your current settings. Of course it saves ALL your settings, not just controls. Neal H

Pete: Don't think I'm crazy please. Just turned on my PC, loaded FSX, followed your instructions, and Macros created as they should. So...I loaded the Majestic Dash 8 and now Mouse Macros work with it also. Ditto the other add-ons I mentioned. When this problem appeared I did restart FSX but that did not help. Never occurred to me that a PC restart would do anything. Anyhow, thaks for such a quick response. Neal H

OOps, I had forgotten that about defaults. I tried first with Majestic Dash 8 (which worked properly before the reinstall). Also tried Milviz 737, PMDG 737, Carenado Centurion but could not get the green/red title box. Before each aircraft was loaded I "ended Macro Making", clicked OK then reopened fsuipc to enable the "Create..." What am I doing incorrectly? Thanks Neal H Btw,,,there are no Mouse Events listed in the log for the add-ons

Never had a problem before but after a reinstall of FSX the Create Mouse macro function will not work as before. Latest version (4.91) and everything good except for that one thing. Tried with several plane, default and add-ons, with same outcomes. TheFSUIPC4.log for rhe last trial shows mouse events that correspond to switches being thrown in the Baron. They surely look like mouse Macros but no red/green popups when they are activated. Perhaps I set something incorrectly and the dialogue boxes are blocked? 35131 Aircraft="Beech Baron 58 Paint1" 35131 LUA.1: LINDA:: Aircraft: Beech Baron 58 Paint1 35131 LUA.1: LINDA:: Aircraft module detected: FSX Default 35162 LUA.0: LINDA:: AivlaSoft library loaded... 35178 LUA.0: LINDA:: FSX standard library loaded... 35178 LUA.0: LINDA:: IAO library loaded... 35178 LUA.0: LINDA:: RealityXP library loaded... 35193 LUA.0: LINDA:: A2A MAP library loaded... 37143 Weather Mode now = Theme 37627 Weather Mode now = Global 40700 LUA.0: LINDA:: Module: FSX Default Started... 40700 LUA.0: LINDA:: Ready to go, Captain! 40700 LUA.0: LINDA:: 68328 Mouse Event=66293 71729 Mouse Event=66287 75629 Mouse Event=66241 79014 Mouse Event=66363 80465 Mouse Event=66364 200679 Mouse Event=66241 202957 Mouse Event=66363 204267 Mouse Event=66364 205812 Mouse Event=66293 Your help appreciated. My thanks in advance Neal H

These macros are invaluable when doing almost anything with the Majestic Dash 8. However, there are a couple (at least) of things that I ame uncertain about. 1. Can a MCRO file be edited in the same manner as a .cfg file? I would like to correct a few typos and remove some entries that I set up poorly. 2.When typing the name of a mcro, whenever one of the "view" keys is used it also changes the view. The "A", "S", "W", etc. are used a lot so my views are frequently jumping. Is there a way to prevent this? Thanking in advance for some help. Regards to all Neal H

Problem resolved: I did a new full install of FSUIPC and mouse macros can again be created. I remembered that once before some program stopped working and it was caused by changes in the dll.xml file. Maybe this reinstall corrected it (wish I had looked at it before the reinstall) If this problem occurs for someone else then perhaps this might help fix it. Thanks all Neal Howard

I failed to mention that all the actions work using the mouse just as they normally do. right/left clicks, wheel rotations make the dials, buttons, and switches function. None of the actions get the green or res dialogue box. I just tried to reproduce the saame macros that were created three days ago but no joy. Just moved to FSUIPC 4.903 hoping for a fix but......no luck I looked at the FSUIPC4.log file but there were no obvious errors or faults in it. It is a bit beyond me to read and analyze. Thanks Neal Howard

I have made quite a few mouse macros for the Majestic Dash 8 and Duke B60 without any problems. Yesterday, after setting "create mouse macro", etc. I could not get any macros....regardless of which plane or which buttons/switches tried (even for those that I had already obtained)). After shutting down FSX and restarting it, still no macro. Finally after restarting the PC the process worked as intended. As far as I recall, there have been no changes made to either the PC or FSX. Has anyone run across this problem? I hate to lose the mouse macro making, particularly with thes new and complicated planes. System is Win7 Ultimate 64bit, FSUICP V4.9, FSX Acceleration. Help appreciated Neal Howard Addendum: I just restarted Windows, FSX, and mouse macro still will not work. Fixed! :D See my last post in this thread for details

Have a look at Input Director. It allows use of a single keyboard and mouse for several PCs on a network. It works like a charm...I run Active Sky 2012, EFB, Plan-G, and best of all VATSIM from a second PC. No more stretching to use a separate mouse or kb. It is Free http://inputdirector.com

Greetings von; MSFS settings are unchanged from plane to plane. If you want to change anything for a particular plane you must go to "Settings" and do it. The advantage of FSUIPC is that you can have specific profiles BUT be sure to delete MSFS settings that you want FSUIPC to manage. If you use the SAITEK software for programming you can develop profiles for different planes, conditions, etc. The software also makes the three modes function. Regards Neal H

My FSUIPC is registered (as is WideFS)and I rely on them both a lot. My technical knowledge of LUA, C++, etc. is barely measurable but I can use those goodies that others often provide. Guenseli comes immediately to mind and gets my thanks. My questions: How are the various command options placed in FSUIPC? For example: There are lots of JS41 commands/views available via FSUIPC. How could one get similar entries for other planes (Duke B60, ERJ, Carenado C340, or others)? I spend quite a bit of time with the JS41 and really like the options available via FSUIPC and would really like to gat the same setups for the others. Thanks in advance for help or information. Regards to all Neal H

tjeuten:

I downloaded the new version for a trial before buying. a few seconds after opening the program for the first time I got a "TRIAL PERIOD OVER......" message. I installed it on two other PCs and got the same message. On Feb 2nd I downloaded your first version but never did try it out (see my post above). After my experience over the past two weeks with a product very much like yours (more expensive and still will not install completely) I am not going to buy independent software without trying it first. If you can arrange to get me a working trial version I will probably buy it. Regards Neal H

Thank you Pete. I was expecting something like this to be the case. There are several of us who have tried numerous combinations and permutations trying to get this portion of that program to work (naturally it's the main reason we bought the thing). Using WideFS, it provides lots of info/controls that FSUIPC already manages ok.. The "missing" part is to provide Complete airport info on the fly. After a series of 19 emails with their support, and still no clear directions re. installing, I have surrendered and am writing the program off until someone figures it out. Regards Neal H

Using version 4.41 and then 4.43 the same message: Failed to make RunwaysCSV Files Failed to make FStarRC RWS File These messages are at the conclusion of the normal process of reading Airports, etc. I do not use the FStar RC program (at least I believe I do not :smile: ) This is occurring while running makerwys.exe from one PC to another using my home network. This is the process required by the FSPS program "Flight Simulator Manager" or I certainly would not be doing it this way. Is there some way to correct it or is the goof tied to the FSPS procedure? Thanks for help Neal H

After lots f install/reinstall I finally have #2 PC back. WideFS works perfectly as before so there is no problem. However, now it is described as "FS98Eliminator" when loaded. Has that always been there and I just didn't see it? As far as I know, this is the most recent version ( 6.8.4.4, downloaded it yesterday from update site), Just curious.

Check your FSX/MODULES folder to make certain it is actually there. It sounds as if it did not take the correct path to install.
