HI, I am getting this error when MSFS 2020 exits. I am running Lua files which access HVARs and LVARs on the A32NX by FlyByWire. I have attached the associated log file. Thanks, Peter

OK

Yes indeed just prior to the FSUIPC event there was a FS2020 exception but alas it did not say what the faulting module was !! I have already deleted the log for FSUIPC as I tried a re-install. Will know better next time.....

Hi, I just had MSFS CTD with the following from Windows event viewer........ Faulting application name: FSUIPC7.exe, version: 7.1.0.0, time stamp: 0x6096a670 Faulting module name: FSUIPC7.exe, version: 7.1.0.0, time stamp: 0x6096a670 Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x00000000000197e4 Faulting process id: 0x10e4 Faulting application start time: 0x01d74887e7969dac Faulting application path: C:\FSUIPC7\FSUIPC7.exe Faulting module path: C:\FSUIPC7\FSUIPC7.exe Report Id: c9cd593f-4038-4b37-9780-96c8f133dd78 Faulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID:

I have disabled the controllers in P3D and have assigned the Joystick and throttle axes only through FSUIPC. I will play around with the spoiler axis assignment. It's funny, but I fly 737s for a living and have flown them for 22 years ! So I am quite familiar with the spoiler functions ! I have also flown fast jets in my RAAF days and no, I never flew a jet without and ejection seat, although I am relieved I never had to get my official "Martin-Baker Pin".

Yes I did that with the LUA plugin via FSUIPC and LINDA. When I actuated the speed brake with the mouse the only Lvar which changed was L:SPEED_BRAKE_POS. Yet I successfully mapped the engine throttle idle/cutoff using the same procedure and a LUA script ! Could it be seeing it as an axis? The values for L:SPEED_BRAKE_POS change continuously from 0 to 100 e.g. 0, 20.12, 50.48, 80.47 etc.up to 100 It is definitely not mapped as an axis in FSUIPC.

Ok, that would explain it, for the speedbrake, but I could definitely actuate other switches in the F-16 using Lvar.write commands run from a LUA script. Strange they would aloow some to be set and some not.

OK, glad you confirmed there was in fact an issue as i thought I was going slightly mad !!! The aircraft I used them on was the F-16 in P3D3. Now this is a "default" aircraft that comes with P3D out of the box, it is not an add-on per se. It is, in fact, an Aerosoft F-16 under the hood. So, is it a default aircraft or an add-on? I don't really know. Anyway, I was trying to discover what switches I could map by using mouse macros and they worked in P3D3 with the F-16. What is strange is that it uses Lvars and I made some macros using Lvars and for some switches the Lvars worked but for others, they didn't ! For example the Lvars for the speed brake are present and are being set by the underlying code, but when I tried to set them using a macro, the speed brake doesn't move even though I am setting the same parameter that the underlying code is using. I have also tried to write to the speed brake Lvar using LUA script but that has no effect. Fantastic news There is absolutely nothing wrong with your brain Peter. Regards, Another Peter

Sorry Pete, not quite clear here. What should I be doing for a workaround? If it is pressing the "Reload all buttons" after I have "end macro making", I have tried that and the macro is still missing from the list. Yes, it was the only way I could think of getting two different actions into a multi line mouse macro. I definitely used them in P3D3 and FSUIPC 4. I don't have P3D3 installed any more.

Hi Pete, I agree that the actions are being added to the macro file and that the macro file exists in the Modules folder and that the FSUIPC.INI file is indeed updated to list the macro file. But the problem is that it is not selectable when you want to assign it to a button on your controller. It is simply not in the list. Have you tried to subsequently assign the macro file to a switch? Does it appear in the list? Here is an example with which you should be familiar. The default Beech King Air 350. I select Buttons and Switches-->Create Mouse Macro-->Name it King-->OK-->click on Warning Light in cockpit-->test with TAB-->name it Warning-->Hit Enter on keyboard->back to FSUIPC-->End Macro recording. Now, when I go to assign Warning to a switch on my controller, the Macro IS THERE in the list. Now I want to add a different cockpit action to the same macro file, for example add clicking the Caution light. I select Buttons and Switches-->Create Mouse Macro-->Name it King-->OK-->click on Caution Light in cockpit-->test with TAB-->name it Caution-->Hit Enter on keyboard->back to FSUIPC-->End Macro recording. Now, when I go to assign Warning or Caution to a switch on my controller, the Macro IS NOT THERE in the list. It has disappeared from the list. Now in the modules folder, the macro file does exist, and it has both the Warning and Caution actions in it and is in the .INI file as well, but it cannot be selected in the "Control sent when button sent" list of available commands because it does not appear in the list, even if I shut down Prepared and restart it. Here are the contents of the King macro file.... [Macros] 1=Warning=RX0,3 2=Caution=RX2003e,3 Second, associated problem As a corollary to this problem, if I want to create a macro that does multiple actions with a single switch action on the controller, I cannot get it to work either.. Take the same King Air with engines shut down. I want to turn the battery switch on and turn on the avionics master with both actions assigned to one switch. In this case I will create a new macro file called Test. I select Buttons and Switches-->Create Mouse Macro-->Name it Test-->OK-->click on Battery switch in cockpit-->test with TAB-->name it PWR-->Hit Enter on keyboard->click on Avionics master in cockpit-->test with TAB-->name it PWR-->Hit Enter on keyboard->back to FSUIPC-->End Macro recording. I have named both actions the same (PWR) because I want both actions assignable to one switch. Again, the macro is not in the list. But the macro is in the modules folder and looks like this below. The obvious problem here is that the commands are exactly the same for different switches even though they will have different commands if you create each action individually. [Macros] 1= 1.1=RX10013,3 1.2=RX10013,3 So how do I create a mutli action macro?

Hi, I have FSUIPC Version 5.1.3.1 and P3D Version 4.2.21.24048. Whenever I try to create a mouse macro and then try to add more actions to it later, the macro file disappears from the "Control sent when button sent" list of available commands. I can assign multiple functions if I make ALL the assignments in the same macro at the same time, but adding to that macro later makes it disappear. This is obviously inflexible if you later want to add more functions to it. Ideally I would want one macro file per aircraft. Also, If I record a mouse macro to move the same switch to its second position which requires two clicks (in this case the Battery switch in the Aerosoft F16) I do this by clicking the switch once and typing the name, then I click it again and type the same name. I get this macro file below, but the file does not appear in the list. [Macros] 1= 1.1=RX1017e,3 1.2=RX1017e,3 Peter
