  1. You are using an extremely old (and unsupported) version of FSUIPC7 (7.0.3). The latest version is 7.3.8 - please update. Also, if you think that FSUIPC is crashing, I need to see your FSUIPC7.log file, John
  2. Can you check that you have the following in your FSUIPC7.ini file and if not add it: [WAPI] EnableWAPI=Yes The WAPI is now enabled by default, but if that section isn't there then the presets will not be loaded. I will fix this in the next release.
  3. This sounds like the rudder axis has been changed to a digital on/off axis in the registry. See the following FAQ entry to resolve this: John
  4. I think that depends on the dll. There seem to be various solutions around for using dlls with lua - for example, see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2835716/how-do-i-call-functions-inside-c-dll-from-lua https://blog.devgenius.io/how-to-add-your-c-library-in-lua-46fd246f0fa8 https://lua-users.org/wiki/LuaProxyDllTwo I don't see why this wouldn't work in an FSUIPC7 lua script, but best to try it - there is a trial license available at the top of this sub-forum if needed. John
  5. No, that is just a warning - you should be fine as all your 11 devices are identified correctly. Maybe try using presets first - there are presets available for most most Rotor Brake controls which are easier to use. check the preset link I previously provided (has a good search interface for finding presets). John
  6. I wouldn't do that. Just keep it anywhere for now - the official version should be released at some point. No. That file is not used at run-time - you just need it to determine the Rotor Brake parameters. 👍
  7. A compound button condition applies to the actual state of a 2nd (or more) button (or latch flag) when the assigned button is pressed or released. This is described in the Advanced User guide, page 21. This functionality is normally used, for example, to control what an increase/decrease knob sends depending in the position of another selector knob (e.g. the Alt, VS, HDG, etc selector knob on the Bravo).
  8. I cannot tell much from that log - and I have no idea what you mean by "I think it might be a dupilcate listing in the registry, there seems to be an item 10 listed 2 times." Please also attach your FSUIPC7.ini file when you attach a log. What toggle switches? For many switches, you need to use the Rotor Brake control (the PMDG 737 custom controls are using this, different from the FSX/P3D versions) or presets - please see https://hubhop.mobiflight.com/presets/. Also see the following FAQ entry: There are also many existing posts on the PMDG 737 for MSFS - maybe review some of those. Any further issues, please be more specific and show me your .ini as well as .log files. John
  9. The SDK for the MSFS PMDG 737-700 has still not been released, and so there is no SDK header file (*.h) at the moment. Folks are using the PMDG header file at the moment, which I have attached. Although you may be better looking on the PMDG support forums - I believe there is more information there on the Rotor Brake parameters, although I haven't checked for a while... John PMDG_NG3_SDK.h
  10. I can see the issue, in fact it the aircraft jumps quite suddenly from reverse to forward motion (not just thrust!) for me when de-activating the reversers. I have also tried with the eng1/2 reverse thrust kill presets but the same thing happens. It should be possible to go to reverse idle before cutting - I will keep looking. If anyone else has this working more correctly/efficiently, please advise! Note that I also found it useful to add a compound condition to the thrust detent, so the throttle decr isn't sent unless the reverser button is on. If you don't do this, the reversers are also activated when you move down through the detent without activating reverser lever first.
  11. But how have you configured? Maybe attach your FSUIPC7.ini file and I can take a look... Assign as follows for Throttle1 (and mimic for throtttle 2): - assign your throttle1 axis to the 'Direct to FSUIPC calibration' control Throttle1 - calibrate throttle 1 - set the min/max and you will also need to reverse - go to the button assignments panel and activate throttle1 reverser (this will show up as button 8 ) and assign the press to Throttle1 Decr with a parameter of 1 (no repeats!), and release to Throttle1 Cut. - move throttle 1 through the detent. This will register as button 24, and assign to Throttle1 Decr with a parameter of 1 and select for repeats. With this config, you can activate reverse idle with the reverser, then push the throttle down to increase to max reverse thrust, and also use the reverser off to kill reverse thrust. Let me know how it goes. John
  12. I can't help without seeing your log and ini files... Please show me your FSUIPC6.log, WideServer.log. WideClient.log and WideClient.ini and FSUIPC6.ini files. I don't understand this - there must be a WideServer.log in your FSUIPC6 installation folder, and a WideClient.log in your WideClient installation folder... John
  13. It would help if you could attach your FSUIPC7.ini file so that I can see what assignments you have made,,, I've installed the PMDG 737-700 on my system with the Bravo attached now, and will look into configuring the throttle later today and will report back. I will use the other thread for this issue, and will close this thread now, so please use that topic/thread going forward. John
  14. You can always compress/zip a log file if too large to attach... From the log you attached, it looks like either the WASM hasn't been installed or the WAPI has not been enabled. Please check both, and attach your InstallFSUIPC7.log and FSUIPC7.ini files (as well as your latest FSUIPC7.log file) if you still have issues. John
  15. For the third time, you need to delete (or rename) the file C:\Users\josem\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\UserCfg.opt and then install FSUIPC7 again. As that file exists, the installer thinks you have a Steam installation, when you in fact are using an MS Store installation. I presume that at some stage you installed via steam, and that file is a remnant of that installation and needs to be removed.
  16. Again, what do you mean by autoloading? If you mean FSUIPC7 is not loading/receiving the lvars/hvars from the WASM then I have told you what you need to do. If you mean FSUIPC7 is not auto-starting, I have provided you with a link on how to resolve this. I have explained where the MSFS menu is so that you can disconnect/reconnect. If none of this helps, then please explain what your issues is.
  17. What do you mean by "FSUIPC not loading"? If you mean that FSUIPC7 is not auto-starting, please see Or do you mean that FSUIPC7 is not loading/receiving the lvars/hvars from the WASM? If that is the case, follow the instructions in this thread and show me your log (with appropriate logging enabled) and ini files if you want me to take a look. Strange question...The MSFS drop-down menu is in the FSUIPC7 main window menu bar. Please see the FSUIPC7 User guide. John

    Fsfo

    The latest WASM release is 0.5.9, (0.5.9a was the beta release of 0.5.9) available in the latest fsuipc7 installer (v7.3.8) or as a separate download - see www.fsuipc.com. I do not know the requirements for FSFO, John
  19. You can try the attached version - this is the same as the released version but with the lvar creation issue hopefully fixed...please report any issues. John FSUIPC7.exe
  20. The only thing that could be interfering, as far as I can see, is if MCE or Tobi are using the same custom event numbers as used by FSUIPC. You can try changing the ones used by FSUIPC to see if that makes a difference - see the description if the StartEventNo ini parameter on page 49 of the Advanced User guide.
  21. Btw, if you still have issues, maybe comment on that other thread I referenced as then the folks that have this configured and working may be able to help you... John
  22. See this thread comment (and onwards) on how to set up the reversers for the PMDG 737 with the Bravo: Let me know how that goes... John
  23. No, sorry - there are no reverser axis, just the reverser buttons and throttle detent button. I have still not configured my throttle on my system with the Bravo - in fact, I need to request a 2nd license for the PMDG 737 before I can do this. I will request a 2nd license and take a look this week sometime, but maybe someone else with the PMDG 737 and Bravo who has already set this up can help... John
  24. Did/can you try flipping the switch in the cockpit UI (after removing the guard) - I am not sure if sending the event will work without removing the guard first..
