I can't find makerwys under control panel/programs and there isn't anything in the readme about how to uninstall, so I thought I had better check. I have it on my root c drive. I presume I can just delete the folder? Pls confirm, thx
-
Hi, I as well cannot find the details of this 0505 offset - in the project magenta list the offsets go up to 0504 and then jump to 0506
Can anyone shed some light on this?

MSFS + FSUIPC v7.3.17B I seem to be getting quite a lot of the following application errors recently, log attached
-
All sorted, thx, with update of the VC++ redistributables, sorry I should have seen this in the manual
Re licence, that's great and very happy to have paid twice for all the help over the last 13 years!

I bought a 2nd FSUIPC licnence for a client pc from the same place as I bought the 1st (simmarket) but it won't accept the registration. Is it because my username and email are the same as the 1st licence? Log attached

Thx John, yes I'm staying clear of the MS Store, it doesn't even seem to work, I tried to buy something several times and it said "another transaction is being completed". This fact and your comment above, it's so much easier to buy something separately and just place it in the community folder

I'll report back after trying the beta
The beta worked like a dream, all lvars picked up on all clients, many thx!

Hi, just to be sure I have this right: if I am in MSFS and I go into the content shop and buy/install an add-on (eg Origani's EGKK), I can then run Makerwys (with MSFS still open) so that my 3rd party programs will have the updated data. Is that correct or does MSFS have to be closed when you run makerwys?
Thx

I just ran a test with the fsuipc beta and it all seemed to work fine. Many thx!
Quoteou should try listing the lvars when this occurs, to check if those lvars are available or not
Before, when I had this problem, I had to press reload and list lvars and everything worked. Looks like the beta has solved this to happen automatically
QuoteDo those ;vars have high ids?
Excuse my ignorance, I can't find those ids - attached is part of the list of lvars - the ones I have been talking about are the doors ones "B738_door"

I have resolved it! Something must have changed with the voicemeter program, because for it to work you have to focus another voicemeter program.
Thx

I was using P3d v5 with Widefs7, I have widefs on a client where I also have vpilot. I was sending a keysend to this client, but it was not working because vpilot "steals" focus. Thx to your guidance some time ago, John, I resolved this with the following focus and run command in widefs (voicemeter is the program that receives the keypress). This worked perfectly and I have just moved to MSFS and fsuipc 7 (widefs stayed the same) and the focus is not working again.
Any ideas as to what could have changed? I have attached my widefs and fsuipc ini files
[User] Log=Errors+ KeySend1=123,16 KeySend2=123,24 KeySend3=84,10,Focus,Run1 KeySend4=66,10,Focus,Run1 Run1=C:\Program Files (x86)\VB\Voicemeeter\VoicemeeterMacroButtons.exe UseSendInput=Yes

Thx, I'll try the beta. It happened again on my next flight, I had to do the same thing (press reload lvars) and then it worked. I'll report back after trying the beta
Just in case, here is my log attached, I started the flight around 1430 local time (1730 zulu)

Oh, I got it working, it appeared that the lvars had just stopped, I went into fsuipc/wasm/reload lvars and all is working, on both main pc and client pc

Doors are difficult in MSFS but I have got them working by using the prosim CDU for doors and an Lvars within fsuipc. I did the following on my main FS PC:
1/ Put this into my fsuipc.ini :-
[LvarOffsets]
1=B738_door_0=UB66C0
2=B738_door_1=UB66C1
3=B738_door_2=UB66C2
4=B738_door_3=UB66C3
5=B738_door_4=UB66C4
6=B738_door_5=UB66C5
2/ Opened the main no 1 door in my CDU
3/ Went into FSUIPC and under add-ons/WASM selected to reload and list LVARS, there I saw a value for the number one door in open position (mine was 199) - I use this value to trigger simsounds on my main pc
On my separate client PC (which has wideclient and a 2nd instance of simsounds) it is not seeing this door position (and therefore not being picked up by my simsounds program which is on that pc). Is there something I have to enter into wideclient?(In both instances of simsounds I have the same config for doors as follows)

Sorry, John, I didn't realise that, your support is equally excellent, please pass on my best regards, Pete has helped me since 2009 for which I am extremely grateful.
QuoteYou could try with using the Alt modifier rather than Ctrl...Alt modifiers have a special meaning (usually keyboard shortcuts for windows' menus and menu items) and may bypass the "ding"... otherwise, you could try disabling the beep in windows - see https://bznep.ourproperty.co.uk/articles/disable-sticky-keys-warning-beep-in-windows-10/
I did the changes in the link you sent re sticky keys, but that has not got rid of it. I think it's because vpilot, in having its cursor flashing, is awaiting a key input and, as it does not recognize CTRL+T as an acceptable thing to type, the ding occurs
Re the ALT key, I tried just typing ALT+T and, for sure, no beep, but what about the following in the manual?
QuoteUse of the Alt key in many combinations is problematic. Try to avoid this key if possible.

Why is vPilot always waiting for text input? That seems strange..
Yes, if you click on vpilot it always has the cursor flashing waiting for text input
QuoteHave you tried explicitly bringing the vPilot window to the foreground using the Focus command (see the WideFS technical guide)?
Perfect, Pete, as always thx, now that works. The only slightly annoying thing still is if I press the keysend while the cursor is flashing within vpilot, there is an annoying windows "ding" initially, but it does work. If I click outside vpilot (so that the cursor is not flashing) and then press the keysend, there is no ding. I can live with this if there is no workaround
Here are my 2 keysends:-
QuoteKeySend3=84,10,Focus,Run1
KeySend4=66,10,Focus,Run1
Run1=C:\Program Files (x86)\VB\Voicemeeter\VoicemeeterMacroButtons.exe -
Hi, I have vpilot on a client pc as remote voice, the host is on my server where I have p3dv5 and FSUIPC6. I have a few keysends coming from the server to the client (via FSUIPC/wideclient), for example to change voice output from headphones to speakers on the client. If I press SPKR button in the sim (connected to server), it sends a keysend to the client, for example CTRL+T, to change from headphones to speakers.
I discovered that this stops working with vpilot, because vpilot always has a flashing cursor ready for text input. Only if you clear your whole desktop and then click outside of vpilot, then the keysend will work.
So what I do is, before pressing a button that activates a keysend, on the client I press the "Up-arrow" to the right of the taskbar (see the pic below), then I press the SPKR button in the sim, this then works. But it is clumsy and not very realistic, so I'm sure there must be something in the wonderful FSUIPC that can circumvent this problem, some kind of macro for example that could do the same thing before sending the keysend
(I asked vpilot if the keyboard takeover by vpilot could be deactivated for those of us who do not use text input for ATC, but that was denied)

I can only suggest you use the L-M P3 support forum
Will do, thanks, I will report back if I find out anything

Thanks Pete, I looked in the documentation online here http://www.prepar3d.com/SDKv3/LearningCenter/getting_started/view_system/display_configuration.html but I can only see reference to Viewgroup name, I cannot see any id nor does there seem to appear anything in the xml.
To select viewgroup the documentation simly states to right click on P3D

Thanks everyone
QuoteVIEW IG VIEWGROUP SET 66848.
Good news is that This is also in the FS list within the FSUIPC button tab. I assigned a button to it and selected various parameters (0, 1, 2, 3 , 4) but these do not seem to do anything.
I looked at the viewgroup xml and cannot see any specific number that should go into the parameter. There is only the name of the viewgroup "Capt" or "FO" (see attached)

I am using P3D latest version which has the very good Viewgroup option. Given the difficulty of setting a perfect viewpoint in a cockpit (without crabbing) I have set up 2 viewgroups, one for if the left side is pilot flying and one for right side. The viewgroups are called Capt and FO respectively.
I can switch between each view by right-clicking on P3D and selecting Viewgroups/Capt or FO.
I would like to assign a button to do this. Can someone let me know the simplest way to do this?
Best

Thanks John for this, it will be something very much sought after by prosim users
I believe that what is needed (like with P3D) is the creation of a radar.bin file which prosim then reads
