Not sure what you mean.... How are you assigning? Assign your throttle with Send direct to FSUIPC calibration using the Throttle1 and Throttle2 controls. Then go to the calibration. tab and calibrate with NRZ checked. If you then look at the out value sent, the minimum will be 0 at your calibrated idle position (usually around -16383). And if you have assigned your reverser button to Throttle Decr (on repeat), pressing and holding the button will activate the reversers. And the assignment to Throttle Cut on release will kill the reversers and go back to idle when you release the button.

For the engine starters, you can use the standard controls Toggle Starter1 and Toggle Starter2. The ignition switches in the VC use the TURBINE_IGNITION_SWITCH_SET1 and TURBINE_IGNITION_SWITCH_SET2 controls/events. However, assigning to these directly has no effect. I have also tried with a preset/calc code to send these events (e.g. '2 (>K:TURBINE_IGNITION_SWITCH_SET1)') but again these have no effect. So I'm sorry but I do not know how to control the ignition switches externally. You should ask either the aircraft provider or, probably better, ask about this on the MF discord channel - use the MSFS2020 channel. This is the general channel for asking on how to control buttons/switches etc from an external application. They may give you a way to do this using MobiFlight, but if it can be done in MF then it can be done in FSUIPC. Sorry I can't be of more help. Please update if you find a solution. I will also investigate further (i.e. take a look at the aircraft code/xml to see if that reveals anything) when I have more time... Quite a lot to do at the moment, and I am away from Wednesday afternoon until Tuesday (inclusive), back next Wednesday. Regards, John

Ok - but also when using a button for reverse thrust, make sure you also calibrate the axes with No Revere Zone (NRZ) checked.

You have assigned the throttle button to decrement (on repeat) while the button is held (R), and also to decrement again when the button is released (U). That is weird. You can delete the assignment sent on release (U), but, if this is the button that you are using to activate reversers, then you would normally assign the release to the throttle cut control. This then gives you reverse thrust while you gold the button and goes to idle when you release.

Hi Luke, can you try the attached version please, v7.3.25c. In this version, offset 0x0264 will hold the following values, or a combination thereof: 0 - No pause 1 - "full" Pause (sim + traffic + etc...), activated (and disabled) using Pause Set or Pause Toggle 2 - FSX Legacy Pause (not used anymore) - redundant 4 - Pause was activated using the "Active Pause" - only assignable in MSFS (not FSUIPC) 8 - Pause the player sim but traffic, multi, etc... will still run, activated using Pause On, disabled using Pause Off 16 - 'esc' pause So the sim can be in up to 4 distinct pause states at the same time. You can activate/disable all pause states when in another pause state, except for the esc pause state which blocks other pause states until deactivated. I have also updated the pause control offset 0x0262 - you can pause/unpause only two of the above pause states, by setting/clearing 1 and 8. So with this offset you can set/clear up to 2 distinct pause states. Let me know if you have any issues. Cheers, John FSUIPC7.exe

Ok, thanks for the update. I am rather busy at the moment, but when I have time I will try to reproduce with the delay parameter here and look into this to provide a fix. I will update you once I have investigated further. Cheers, John

You need to determine what holds this information. If there is a simulator variable available, check to see if this variable is held in an offset, and if not it can added. If no simvar is available, then you can check the available lvars, but you would have to do this for each aircraft. AC MAX PASSENGERS: I cannot see anything that holds this. However, it could maybe (roughly) calculated from the weights, e.g. ( (max gross weight - empty weight - fuel weight) / 220 lbs) (where 220 lbs is the industry standard for the weigth of one passenger + luggage) AC MTOW: could this be the MAX GROSS WEIGHT held in offset 0x1334? AC MAXFUEL: this depends on whether the aircraft uses the new fuelsystem or the legacy one (held in offset 0x07A8). For aircrft that use the legacy system, you can use the FUEL TOTAL CAPACITY simvar held in offset 0x1240. For aircraft that use the new fuelsystem it is more complicated. If you know the nymber if tanks, you can sum the indexed simvar FUELSYSTEM TANK CAPACITY. However, I am not sure how to determine the number of tanks available, s you may be better off summing the capacity simvars (e.g. FUEL TANK CENTER CAPACITY, FUEL TANK CENTER2 CAPACITY, FUEL TANK CENTER3 CAPACITY, FUEL TANK EXTERNAL1 CAPACITY, etc). See https://docs.flightsimulator.com/html/Programming_Tools/SimVars/Aircraft_SimVars/Aircraft_Fuel_Variables.htm AC ZFW: this is again something you would have to calculate from the available weights AC TAS: that should be in offset 0x02B8 (AIRSPEED TRUE) AC MAX CRUISING ALT: not sure if this is available - I can only see a Design Cruise Altitude, i.e. optimal rather than max. See https://docs.flightsimulator.com/html/Programming_Tools/SimVars/Aircraft_SimVars/Aircraft_FlightModel_Variables.htm. Sorry I can't be of more help. John

Then why not use the latest version of LINDA, v3.3.5? But I have seen the LINDA 3.2.6.111 is also available for download at the bottom of the following page if you need that version: https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/573578-linda-335-p3dv5fsuipc6-compatible-5-jun-2022/ Ok. I can provide you with a courtesy / free license for FSUIPC6 if you require one - let me know. Regards, John

That should be possible but I cannot help with this.... However, some aircraft use protection and it may not be allowed. You should ask about this on the aircraft support (presuming there is one) or maybe on the Asobo forums. I will look at the start/ignition controls sometime next week. John

As i said, if you can attach the file I can take a look...next week sometime....

Sorry, I do have the C510. I can check the start/ignition, but not today - finishing for the day now. As for the G1000, maybe try the available presets. These work both for the default G1000 and the one from WT

Sorry, I see you are using the Cockspur Mustang C510 - unfortunately there don't seem to be any presets available for this aircraft, and as I don't own this aircraft if is difficult for me to advise. Maybe worth asking on the MF discord channel - they lead the community effort for discovering calculator code for presets.... John

No, I could not possibly do that for all aircraft.... Read my previous comment....I don't even know what aircraft you are using....

Which payware aircraft are you using? Have you looked to see if there are any presets available for this aircraft? It is far easier to use presets than lvars/hvars directly... Many standard controls don't work in payware aircraft - you have to use either custom controls or presets (which can control simvars, lvars, hvars, b vars, k vars, etc). Take a look at the HubHop site (https://hubhop.mobiflight.com/presets/). All MF presets are available for assignment by selecting the 'Select for preset' checkbox, and can be found using the Find Preset button.

Do you mean that you would like to try the trial license? Probably not worth it if you are in Russia, as if you decided you want to purchase your payment will not be accepted. But if you would like a trial license I can PM you one. I don't make them publicly available as this system was being abused, with some people continually updating their trial license and never purchasing.

I don't know if older versions of Linda are available for download - the latest version is 3.3.5 and available from https://www.avsim.com/forums/forum/427-linda-downloads/. Why do you need that specific version? Unfortunately LINDA is no longer supported. However, maybe try posting on the Linda support forum and maybe another user with that version can help you. John

Btw, why are you requiring this com library anyway? The complete com library is built into WideFS7 and you shouldn't require it...

And what is the issue? If you get a validation error, then your VC++ redistributables probably need updating - see the Invalid Key Problems section of the Installation and Registration guide, John

Could it be a problem with your package.path and package.cpath settings? I am not sure why you are changing these - I have never touched these. Try removing the changes you made to these - it should work with the default settings. But it does seem that the dll is being found. Is this the same luacom.dll that is being loaded in FSUIPC? If you still get issues, can you attach the luacom.dll file you are using and I can try it here, but this will be on Monday or Tuesday.

Take a look at offset 0x3122 - it is bit-oriented: John

There should be a text file called "The 2016 List of FSX and P3D Controls" in your FSUIPC4 documents folder (under your Modules folder). I have also attached it below. John The 2016 List of FSX and P3D Controls.pdf

You are using a very old version of FSUIPC7 (7.3.7). Please update to the latest version, 7.3.24. Only the latest version is supported. This was removed quite some time ago and is no longer used or needed. You should need any "fixes". If you are changing anything, please specify what. Why are you doing this? If you don't want FSUIPC7 to be auto-started, just don't install the auto-start component.

If you want a response from the OP, better to tag them with the @wsixpo syntax (now done!). I don't know much about PM or pmgetweather and the pmwx.dat file, so can't help. See if the OP responds, or maybe ask on the PM forums (presuming there is one!). John

Its now John, Pete retired several years ago, although will still help out occasionally. It should work with all versions of FSUIPC, but the offset definitions (FSUIPC.FSI) have not been updated to include any new MSFS offsets, or remove those no longer in use. If anyone wants to do this and supply a new definitions file, I can add this to the release bundle. Personally I don't see a need for this tool anymore - the FSUIPC offset logging facilities together with the FSUIPC Offset status document should suffice for most uses. Cheers, John

It may be because it is under your windows Desktop folder. which has certain restrictions. Try moving it to a non-windows protected folder. If WideClient is installed there, also move that to a new location. Is the lua script requiring this in the same location? If not, try moving it to the same folder as the lua script.
