  1. Sorry but there is nothing I can do about this. You are using an unregistered copy and so FSUIPC isn't doing much except populate its offsets for use by other programs. Your logs show no issues. If you don't use AI data, you could set the following in the [General] section of your FSUIPC7.ini file: ProvideAIdata=No Otherwise I don't know what to advise, or why you are seeing such a drop in FPS.
  2. You have no issues with any of your devices, and you don't have controllers listed multiple times, You have them listed with an id and with a letter - this is perfectly normal. No, You will get more issues if you install under C. I don't know why you are having such issues and why they are taking so long to resolve. From what I have seen so far, all your issues are due to the fact that you re-installed without installing the WASM. Don't bother with attaching screenshots - it is the files I need to see. And get into the habit of changing/shortening the aircraft names when you add them to a profile. This: should be Try setting the required logging and looking at the files yourself. Is the assignment being triggered on FSUIPC? Setting logging for Buttons & Switches will show any assignment being triggered, and for presets setting WAPI Debug level logging will show the preset code being sent to the WASM. Then WASM Debug level logging will show the code being received and applied in the WASM. So try that, and if a preset isn't working, check to see if 1. the button is triggering the assignment 2. The assignment is sending the correct calc. code 3. The calc. code is being received and applied in the WASM
  3. I don't understand the question - button and axes assignments are completely independent. Assigning an axis with "Direct to FSUIPC calibration" will have no effect in any button assignments. Yes. The standard way to do this, but depends on the controller used, is to assign to throttle_dec (on repeat) on the throttle button that indicates past idle (if you have such a button), then assign to throttle_cut in the release to kill the reverse thrust. Then when you are in idle and push the throttle down, the button is triggered and throttle_dec commands are sent which will move the aircraft into reverse, and when you move the throttle back it cuts back to idle.
  4. You only have 4 assignments on 2 buttons (to the press and release of each button). Are those switches, sticky-buttons or momentary buttons? If the latter, then what is happening is that the taxi lights are being switched off when you press the button, and then back on on the release, That is how you have assigned, If that is not happening, then you need to set logging for Buttons & Switches and WAPI Debug level logging in FSUIPC, and also Debug level logging in the WASM. You have nothing assigned to the pitch and elevator axes in FSUIPC.
  5. Those errors can safely be ignored - they are reported when the WASM is trying to clean-up after MSFS has quit, and the simconnect calls are failing as the connection is dead.
  6. I have added the LIVERY NAME simvar to offset 0x2480 (128 bytes) in the attached version if you would like to try it. This offset will only b populated in MSFS2024 and not in MSFS2020. John FSUIPC7.exe
  7. I am just saying that you need to follow my advise and change your profile names to use substrings, otherwise your profiles won't work when you use aircraft with different liveries. For example, in the log file you attached, you used the aircraft 'PMDG 737-800 vRYR Ryanair EI-DCJ' which doesn't match any aircraft in your B737 PMDG profile and so the profile won't have been loaded and you will not have any of your PMDG assignments available. They are empty in the one you attached. If you have one where they are not empty then use that, otherwise you should delete them and re-assign. If you selected to install and it didn't, check the InstallFSUIPC7.log file for errors, and see the installation and registration guide on how to resolve any issues. Once the WASM is installed, your presets should work, but you will have lost your general assignments unless you can install them from backup.
  8. But you did not run FSUIPC afterwards. The version of the ini is 7.4.18, but the log reports 7.5.1. So this ini was not used by that log file. O need to see files from the same session. No, those changes could not affect MobiFlight in any way. You should make those changes as advised, and if you have issues report them and we can investigate. But if you don't follow my advise, I can't help you. Nothing was working in the aircraft you tried as all the assignments are empty: Not sure why that is, but you should remove those and re-assign. And for your PMDG / FBW / Fenix profiles, they all use presets and won't work as you have not installed the FSUIPC WASM module: If you selected to install the WASM and it wasn't installed, then check your installation log for errors. You cn try re-installing and install the WASM, and if any issues check the documentation or previously reported issues. There are various known issues that can prevent the WASM being installed. You may also have issues if you have installed FSUIPC under the Windows Program Files folder: ? If that is one you created then thats ok (it is not under c:\), but otherwise it could create issues.
  9. Null zones are calibrated in FSUIPC's axis calibration pages. See the User guide. John
  10. What do you mean by this? If you previously reported the same issue, you should use the same support topic. Is this the same issue reported here: If so, please continue there rather than starting a new topic for the same issue.... I will close/lock this shorty, unless this is a new issue... John
  11. That is interesting - I hadn't noticed that. That will at least make the profile matching easier/more reliable for most people! It is not possible to add MSFS2024-only simvars to FSUIPC offsets at the moment, as this would create issues when using MSFS2020. I could look into only requesting certain simvars in specific MSFS versions at some point if needed, but I don't think this one is useful enough for enough people to add this to a fixed offset at the moment.
  12. Your upload limit is rather restricted as you are a new forum user - it will increase the more you post. You can try compressing/zipping it, but if still too large you can use one of the free file exchange services, e.g. https://filetransfer.io/ You only need to update the one, but it doesn't matter. Ok, so the buttons on your controllers/devices are not recognised? If thats the case, please also attach your FSUIPC7.ini and FSUIPC7.JoyScan.csv files. And that would explain why nothing is working, but is not exactly the issue of this topic...
  13. That can have absolutely no affect whatsoever, as only additional software and files are installed with this, and nothing is actually started or used unless you manually do something with what is installed. The log file you attached was attached when FSUIPC was still running - please exit FSUIPC before attaching files. Did you check the MSFS logging console for messages? Did you try setting the ThreadAffinityMask?
  14. Thats not strictly true - it could be that the WASM couldn't acquire a simconnect connection, which may be your issue. This is usyally caused by another third party app taking too many connections. FSUIPC can sometimes cause this, if nadly tuned, but the auto-tuning facility should detect this and set auto-tuning to run, and after FSUIPC7 has been ran a few times (2 or 3) it should have tuned itself. Anyway, if thats the case, the FSUIPC7.log file may help. but I may also need to see a SimConnect.log file to see what is taking all the connections. But let me see the FSUIPC7.log file first, and follow my other suggestions. John
  15. I am afraid that 16 is the maximum number of devices allowed. Not sure why you are only seeing 15 though... John
  16. This is possible but not via offset area 0x3340 as that is for FSUIPC-internal virtual buttons and such buttons are only seen by FSUIPC and its clients. What you need to do is download and install the vJoyOffsets program. Use this to configure a separate/distinct offset area for your virtual buttons. then use that area. Changes to such an area are then forwarded to windows (using vJoyFeeder) and can be seen by any other windows application. Make sure you read the vJoyOffsets documentation. John
  17. The WASM log file shows that it was attached when MSFS was still running and that you hadn't even started a flight yet. Please always exit MSFS before attaching a WASM log file, and also please set Debug level logging.in the WASM (via the FSUIPC_WASM.ini file). And I also need to see your FSUIPC7.log file generated showing your issue, preferably with WAPI debug logging set (Log->WAPI->Debug) as well as for Events and Buttons & Switches, so please attach that, but only once you have exited FSUIPC7. You should switch to using substrings for your aircraft profile names in all your profiles. For example, for your B737 PMDG profile, change to and to This will prevent issues with the profile not being loaded when using a new livery. Updated from which version? There were hardly any changes between 7.5.0 and 7.5.1, and nothing that would effect presets. John
  18. The WASM log file is under your AppData folder, but for some reason you have not installed the WASM module, so you won't have one anyway, The myOffsets.txt file only exists if you create one. In the log file you attached, you didn't even load an aircraft or start a flight, so there could have been no possible reduction in FPS. Please attach a log file when you experience the issue. Did you check the MSFS logging console for messages? Please do this. Can you also try with FSUIPC7 running but without APL running, to see if the issue is with FSUIPC7 or is with APL If you get the FPS drop with FSUIPC and without APL running, you could try moving FSUIPC off of the first 2 CPU cores by using the ThreadAffinityMask ini parameter. See, for example, https://bitsum.com/tools/cpu-affinity-calculator/ on how to calculator the mask value, and then add the entry to the [General] section of your FSUIPC7.ini file. I use the following which will use cores 2-7: ThreadAffinityMask=xFC John
  19. But why does SayIntentionsAI need to see this? If the button on the intercom switch of the Airbus Radio Control Panel triggers this and writes to an FSUIPC offset (via the "gate"), then you can have a lua script that monitors the offset and sends the required PTT control to the FS. How is the current PTT button assigned - is that in FSUIPC or elsewhere?
  20. Thats exactly what the script should be doing. This is what I requested above --> My intention would be to have the pedals disconnected as long as the button is being pressed down and to reconnect them as soon as I release the button. So it is still disconnecting when the assigned button is pressed? This wasn't clear from the OPs original post. The issue is probably that he is using a momentary button, rather than a sticky button or switch, and so the diconnect is activating then de-activating on each button press/release. If he wants 1 press/release to toggle on, and another to toggle off, then he should use the MF preset, and update that to also trigger the animation if needed. John
  21. But how are you expecting to trigger this virtual button press? Rather than the trigger writing to offset 0x3340 to trigger a virtual button, that then triggers the PTT, why can't the initial trigger just trigger the PTT directly?
  22. And when the button is down, are the pedals not disconnected? Those presets consist of 2 parts - one to control the function (via the lvar L:S_FC_CAPT_TILLER_PEDAL_DISCONNECT) and one to control the animation (via the lvar L:S_FC_CAPT_TILLER_PEDAL_DISCONNECT_Anim). So it seems that the functional part is not working. There is also an MF preset for this which acts as a toggle- FNX320 Misc Tiller Pedal Disconnect Captain Press. That just controls the functional part. Can you try that preset to see if it works for you?
  23. I think you are misunderstanding the functionality provided by offset 0x3340. Setting a button flag in that offset range will trigger a virtual button press in fsuipc, which will trigger the button assignment in FSUIPC and you can see the button in FSUIPC's button assignment panel for assignment. it cannot simulate a button press for other applications, i.e. it is not possible to force/send an actual button press event for other programs to action. John
  24. I thought FSUIPC could handle up to 64 devices, but looking at the code that writes the [JoyNames] section it only writes 16 devices. Not sure why - I will check this and get back to you, but probably not until next week. Could you please set a custom log value (Log -> Custom) of 0x200000. restart FSUIPC7, exit and then attach your FSUIPC7.log, FSUIPC7.ini and FSUIPC7.JoyScan.csv files.
  25. First, only a subset of simvars are added to FSUIPC offsets. And I do not add any new simvars to offsets unless by request and I think it a useful addition for everyone. Several years ago I added a new facility in FSUIPC to allow the user to add any simvar to a spare/free FSSSUIPC offset via a file called myOffsets.txt. Please see the Advanced User guide for details on using this feature. Note also that as FSUIPC7 is compatible with both MSDS202 and MSFS2024, it is build using the latest SDK for MSFS2020 and not the MSFS2024 SDK. However, it should still be possible to request simvars from the MSFS2024 SDK, but make sure this is only done when using MSFS2024 and not MSFS2022. John
