Please use the FSUIPC7 support sub-forum for all issues and questions for FSUIPC7 - I have moved your post. Do you see any values in other lvars? Can you set/change the value of an lvar (via Add-ons->WASM->Set Lvar)? Check to see if the WASM has crashed in MSFS2024. It seems that the WASM crash is more frequent in MSFS2024. if the WASM is crashing and you have not disabled lvar scanning, please do that. If the WASM isn't crashing and the lvar values are being received by FSUIPC, then that must be the value of the lvars. I don't have the FenixQuaerz so cannot check this here, sorry. John

encounter FSUIPC_ERR_SIZE. while extracting data
John Dowson replied to michielsweb's topic in FSUIPC Client DLL for .NET
There are the following ATC simvars (see https://docs.flightsimulator.com/flighting/html/Programming_Tools/SimVars/Aircraft_SimVars/Aircraft_RadioNavigation_Variables.htm😞 Any simvar can be added to spare/free FSUIPC offsets using the facility described in the section Adding Simulator variables (simvars) to FSUIPC offsets on page 35 of the Advanced User guide. As you can see, most of those are read-only, although 4 are updateable. John -
All of them - as it says in many, many places, you need to install the latest combined VC++ redistributable package for 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2022. And if you haven't done that, then you haven't read the Installation and Registration guide - please do that! From the documentation: Well if it works when you create the key manually, it means that you had previously entered the details incorrectly... John

I assigned a spare rotary for this... First, add the input event to an FSUIPC offset - e.g. add to your FSUIPC7.ini file (were xxx is your profile name): That will add the input event FCC_ALTITUDE_SEL to offset 0xA030 as an unsigned word (2 bytes) - and for your 737Max profile only. Then assign your rotary buttons to inc/dec that offset. I have both fast and slow buttons on my rotary, so these are my assignments: where 175 is my controller/device number, 10 is the slow inc button and 11 the fast, and 9 the slow dec button and 8 the fast. If you only have one button in each direction, just assign to the slow controls (or you can use a lua script to convert to 2 virtual buttons...). Here's how one of those assignments looks in the UI (slow increment)I: Seems to work ok except for a minor wrapping issue when going below 0, but this shouldn't matter... John

Pete retired over 5 years ago. Please follow the instructions provided in my previous comment on this topic... Note this has been reported thousands of times, and it is ALWAYS due to user error not following the instructions... You can also try manually creating the key file (details in the Installation and Registration guide). Does it register if you do this (the registration details will be pre-populated in the UI if you manually create the key file)? If you run FSUIPC7 with the key file present, does it run as a registered version? John

As your issue is with FSUIPC7, you should use the FSUIPC7 support sub-forum. I will move this post. There are no axes controls logged in the log file - please set logging for Axes Controls and attach a log showing your issue. Also, please ALWAYS exit FSUIPC7 before attachubg files. You should also switch to using substrings for your aircraft names, to prevent issues with profiles not loading when using variants. Change to and to etc Do this for all your profiles (i.e. use substrings of the aircraft name). You should get into the habit of editing the aircraft name each time you add one to a profile.
-
Please show me / attach your ini and log files, the latter showing your issue (i.e. with logging for Axes Controls activated). Note that as a new user, you will have a very low upload limit. Compress the files but if still too large you will need to use a (free) file transfer service.

unable to connect my ACARS (WorldWide Virtual ACARS)
John Dowson replied to mleuck48's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
Yes, I know, but this topic is for your ACARS not connecting. You already raised a topic for WideFS not connecting, so use that for the WideFS connection issue. -

As I said, please check what it is assigned to. For ALT select in the 737max, you need to use the input event FCC_ALTITUDE_SEL. Have you tried assigning to this, as advised? Well, I think the strange thing is that the other encoders actually work! The default assignments will be to the standard FS controls - these do not work for many aircraft functions in MSFS2020, and even less in MSFS2024. The encoders that are working must be because the aircraft is using the standard controls for those functions, but not for the Altitude select, where it is using that input event.
-
Have you configured FSUIPC to handle your VRInsight MCP? Can FSUIPC see the (rotary) buttons of the alt select knob in the buttons assignment panel? And if so, what is this assigned to? To control the altitude selection in the 737max in MSFS2024 you need to use the input event FCC_ALTITUDE_SEL, which takes the altitude as a parameter. To use this, add this input event to a spare/free FSUIPC offset and assign to one of the offset increment/decrement controls.

Send Radar.bin to multiple locations
John Dowson replied to jkatz098's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Not via FSUIPC. Only one of those ini parameters will be read. Normally you would write the file to a networked drive if you wanted it to be accessed from multiple PCs. If you wanted it copied to multiple locations, you could maybe trigger a lua script after the file was generated which could call the OS to copy the file. -
Of course there are events for active frequencies, e.g. 65707 COM_RADIO_SET 65708 NAV1_RADIO_SET 65636 COM_RADIO_WHOLE_DEC 65637 COM_RADIO_WHOLE_INC 65638 COM_RADIO_FRACT_DEC 65639 COM_RADIO_FRACT_INC 65640 NAV1_RADIO_WHOLE_DEC 65641 NAV1_RADIO_WHOLE_INC 65642 NAV1_RADIO_FRACT_DEC 65643 NAV1_RADIO_FRACT_INC 66434 COM_RADIO_FRACT_DEC_CARRY 66435 COM_RADIO_FRACT_INC_CARRY 66445 NAV1_RADIO_FRACT_DEC_CARRY 66446 NAV1_RADIO_FRACT_INC_CARRY 67361 COM1_RADIO_HZ_SET 68064 COM1_8333HZ_MODE_TOGGLE 68065 COM1_8333HZ_MODE_SET etc Basically you have all the same events on active frequencies as with standby.

WideFS only supports FSUIPC client programs. I think the only way to move MSFS pop-ups to a networked PC would be to use something like WideView. There may be other solutions - probably better to ask on the Asobo forums.

This really depends on the function/control. Generally you would use logging - set logging for Events (Log -> Events) and open the logging console (Log -> Open Console). If you see lots of events logged when not doing anything (many MSFS aircraft continually emit certain events) then you should use the DontLogThese ini parameter to stop such events being logged (see Advanced User guide). Then click the button/switch/etc in the VC and see if anything is logged, and if so you can use that. You can also log Input Events with a corresponding ini parameter of DontLogTheseIE. If standard (or known custom) controls are not used, then you can try inspecting the model behavior to see how how button/switch is implemented - see the following on how to do this: MSFS2020: https://www.badcasserole.com/uncovering-input-events-using-the-msfs2020-model-behavior-dialog/ MSFS2024: https://www.badcasserole.com/uncovering-input-events-using-the-msfs2024-model-behavior-dialog/ What aircraft/avionics system? There are many presets for this, e.g. for the G1000 in MSFS2020: AS1000_MFD_RANGE_DEC and AS1000_MFD_RANGE_INC for the G1000 in MSFS2024: MFD RANGE ZOOM - Dec and MFD RANGE ZOOM - Inc for the ATR: MSATR MFD CPT RANGE INC + and MSATR MFD CPT RANGE DEC - etc So it really depend on the aircraft / avionics system being used.

Calibrating when assigned with 'Send to FS as normal axis' can be problematic, and this depends on the aircraft. When assigned this way, the uncalibrated values are sent to the sim. and then the value is calibrated once it is received back with the event, and it is masked (i.e. original value blocked) and then calibrate value is then sent. This can cause issues with some aircraft due to priority levels. And it is not clear to me when any MSFS calibration is applied - if this is on the initial value sent, or on the 2nd calibrated value sent. Basically if calibrating when assigned with 'Send to FS as normal axis' causes issues, you will not be able to use FSUIPC's calibration facilities. If you wanted to calibrate such an axis, you can write the axis value to an FSUIPC offset and read that value and perform any calibration needed in a lua script and then send the event on from the lua script with the calibrated value. You could possible try changing the event priority values to see if this helps, but I wouldn't recommend this. John

What does this mean? The 2nd image shows that FSUIPC is receiving a value of 16242 when the lever is at the 20% position. What In/Out values do you see in the Axes Assignment tab? What is the value there at the 20% position, and how does that increase as you move the lever further? How does this axis look in the windows game controllers app? Have you tried calibrating it there?
-
Remove the calibration for this in FSUIPC (click the Reset button on page 3 of the calibration panel). Not sure why, but something strange seems to be happening when these axes are calibrated in FSUIPC. Not sure if its the aircraft or the _EX1 controls. I will make a note and look into it sometime.

unable to connect my ACARS (WorldWide Virtual ACARS)
John Dowson replied to mleuck48's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
Why do you keep mentioning WideFS in this topic? Did you not read my previous post? Or my post before that? Please re-read my previous posts...and to be very clear: IF YOU WANT HELP WITH THIS, USE THIS THREAD If you actually looked at those logs, why did you bother posting/attaching them? They are both the same file, and show that FSUIPC7 was stopped after 45 seconds and never even connected to MSFS. How are they supposed to help? -
I can see why you have multiple WASM menu entries - I will correct this for the next release, but it shouldn't cause any issues, Multiple menu items are being added as there are multiple simconnection attempts being made. Your log shows that you manually started FSUIPC7, but didn't start MSFS until over 14 hours later, and it then took another 3 minutes or so to obtain a stable connection, with many failed attempts before this was done. If you are going to manually start FSUIPC7 before the simulator, you should disable auto-connect and connect manually once MSFS has started and arrived to the main menu. Alternatively, start FSUIPC7 after MSFS has started (and arrived to the main menu), or use the auto-start facility. John
