[FSUIPC3 LUA files no longer working]

Hi there,

I am having a very strange problem with FSUIPC3 in FS2004. A few weeks ago, it suddenly decided to no longer load any of my LUA files.

This problem came seemingly out of nowhere. It is not any one specific LUA file, but any LUA file at all.

I have tried: 

Reinstalling FSUIPC

Reinstalling FS2004

The specific LUA file I want to use is called FreezeAlt.lua and it looks like this:

althi = ipc.readSD(0x574)
altlo = ipc.readUD(0x570)
while 1 do
   ipc.sleep(10) -- 10 mSecs = 100 times per sec
   ipc.writeUD(0x570,altlo)
   ipc.writeSD(0x574,althi)
end

I have also noticed after reinstalling FSUIPC, it has not generated an FSUIPC.ini file.

Below is a screenshot from FS2004. The LUA module would normally show up above LuaKillAll.

Any help is greatly appreciated. 🙂

Success!

I now have a registered version of FSUIPC3, and this works without a problem.

Thanks for your help. :)

Thanks.

I don't yet have a registered version of FSUIPC for FS9, but I have tested this in FSX and it works well. :)

You'd need to write a Lua plug in with an loop writing the initially read altitude back to the altitude offset as fast as possible. even then, because you wouldn't always catch it before the next frame was displayed, so you'd still get the occasional nasty jitter.

It wouldn't bother me too much if it jittered occasionally. Would you be able to walk me through how to do this?

Hi there,

Is the "Freeze Altitude Set" included in FSUIPC3 for FS2004?

If not, how would I go about coding this for FSUIPC?

Keep in mind, I have no coding experience, so can someone explain, as simple as possible, how I would go about this?

Thanks in advance.
