A quick update on Version 7.4.8b Did 3 complete flights and some more starts with different Aircraft which gave problems before, now all running fine. Will do some more flights tomorrow. Leo

Hi John, Glad that you found it. 👍 Meanwhile i did 3 short starts and all went well. Start now using the latest one and will report back if something happens. Have a nice evening, Leo

Will use version with Empty check, Don't have a lot of time today but will report back as soon as something goes wrong or if all stays well probably tomorrow as by then i should have had enough starts to confidently say that it's fixed cheers

John, I am sorry but also this last version has caused the [Buttona] section of the FSUIPC7.ini to be missing. also here there is a button with line 1000 detected at the very begin but at the end the buttonsection was gone again. I attached the FSUIPC&.ini and log files. First flight with the H145 went well, then selecting the Cabri end at the end was missing the section again. Leo FSUIPC7.log FSUIPC7.ini

Will use the new version and post logs if it happens again. Attached files were from last flight with previous version so don't know if they are of any value but attached them anyway. Leo FSUIPC7.ini FSUIPC7.log

OK, send you the log when it happens again, could take a while as yesterday a few flights were OK. Leo

John, Yes the Schweizer was from the last flight Yesterday evening and today i switched to the Bell407. No Assignment window opened at all. When i mention during flight i really meant to say "somewhere before end of the flight" As i use only a few buttons from the buttonscreen which are captured by an Buttonevent in the lua script. In the FSUIPC7.ini i mostly have buttons assigned which are used before any lua script is running and a few others seldom used ones. So i found out at the end of the flight when i tried to end the flight with the Esc and End buttons from the buttonscreen who are defined in the FSUIPC7.ini Is it a possibillity to make the FSUIPC7.ini and profile files ReadOnly which should then generate an error for a write attempt so we have an indication where it happens. I realise i can't make any assignments then but this is anyway something i do only when modifying something?

Hi John, Problem of clearing [Button] section still present. Did yesterday evening two flights which went well. Today my first flight worked EXCEP: Buttons defined in FSUIPC.ini didn't work In short: TEST 4 MSFS started Aircraft Bell407 selected Aircraft Bell407 loaded ALL SEEMS TO WORK WELL EXCEPT: Buttonscreen buttons defined in FSUIPC7.ini NOT WORKING ButtonScreen buttons captured by Bell407.lua WORK CAUSE: [Buttons] section from FSUIPC.ini gone MUST HAPPENED DURING FLIGHT AS: Here still present 63703 25912 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=6 (M), Btn=28, Pressed 63703 25912 [Buttons] 1000=PM,28,C1003,31 63703 25912 FSUIPC Control Action: Ctrl=1003, Param=31 At Ending Flight with Esc/End buttons from ButtonScreen (defined in FSUIPC7.ini) NO ACTION Research found [Button] section missing from FSUIPC7.ini Leo FSUIPC7.ini FSUIPC7.log

Restored all from Backup and had another testflight with latest version. All worked normal so will continue flights with this versions logging enabled and will post the logfile if the problem happens again cheers

At this moment the client has only the button screen. Buttons in the profile are all on the server machine, the device connected on the client died some time ago and was disconnected and not replaced anymore. About the 2 joystick devices those are not in use anymore and detached. At this moment i hesitate to make any changes that may complicate troubleshooting as it has always worked this way, but i definitely cleanup my ini file one of these days

will try tis version in about an hour and a half, wive called for dinner and i want to keep her happy😇

OK here are the profile files i used during testing. All button linenumbers above 1000 for buttondefinitions come from FSUIPC7.ini Lower than 1000 come from profile files. I have anyway the idea that it's intermittend as the first flight with the Schweizer worked and the last flight didn't and if you say this version 7.4.8a only added additional logging then the other conditions are the same. Also because yesterday the main problem was that profile auto lua's were not loaded and i have never seen that today. Now the main problem seems to be that buttondefinitions from the profile files are not loaded. FSUIPC7.ini CabriG2.ini Schweizer.ini Bell206.ini

Yes, i switched Aircraft several times to see if it was Aircraft specifioc. I don't have the logfiles from earlier flights anymore but i past you my Journal with notes that i kept since the additional debugging options. TESTS WITH DEBUG EXTRA OPTION =============================== TEST 1 MSFS started ButtonScreen use Aircraft Schweizer selected Aircraft Schweizer loaded EVERYTHING WORKS TEST 2 MSFS started ButtonScreen use Aircraft Cabri selected Aircraft Cabri loaded EVERYTHING WORKS TEST 3 MSFS started ButtonScreen use Aircraft Bell206 slected Aircraft Bell206 loaded Lua Loaded as Arduino's are initialized Buttons defined in Bell206.ini Don't work BUT Bell206.ini is loaded as [Auto] Bell206.lua is loaded Several times Button & Switches reload from menu without result AT END when pressing ESC and END buttons from Buttonscreen (Defined in FSUIPC7.ini): these work Also enormous amount of Axis data in log, could this hinder Button detection??? Have seen that when i enable lua logging, it is almost impossible to use the simulator NEW Version of FSUIPC7.4.8a ============================ TEST 1 MSFS started ButtonScreen use Aircraft Schweizer selected Aircraft Schweizer loaded Lua Loaded as Arduino's initialized Buttons defined in Schweizer.ini NOT working Buttons defined in FSUIPC7.ini working Buttons from buttonscreen working Enabled lualogging from one of those and to see if enabled switched some undefined commands in the homecockpit on and off. Do find this in the logging: RECEIVED: ZZ696720 NOT RECOGNISED/EXECUTED btw. all buttons above 1000 are defined in the FSUIPC7.ini, those work

Sorry forgot to submit my previous reply. Meanwhile a did a testfly with version 7.4.8a and got the same result. lua loaded but buttons in profile ini file not. buttons in FSUIPC7.ini loaded See attached logfile. FSUIPC7.log

Yes i will try this version. It's a strange problem, Yesterday any first flight didn't load the profile lua, didn't matter which Aircraft and successive flights were always OK. Today my first two flights went very well, no problem using Buttonscreen before flightload lua and ini file loaded. First one with the Schweizer second one with the default Cabri. The third flight with the Bell206, the lua was loaded as i can see that my Arduino's were initialized but when i tried to use the buttons defined in the Bell206.ini they didn't work. Did several reloads of Button & Switches via the assignments menu to no result. Then when i gave up and used the Buttonscreen's ESC and END buttons, those worked. So for me an indication that only buttons in the Bell206.ini were not working. I send you that logfile in case you want to have a look. FSUIPC7.log
