If you see FSUIPC7 in the task bar after pressing Alt+F then the window must have been opened, and if you cannot see it then it is either positioned off-screen or is being hidden by another window. If you mean the Window entry from the FSUIPC7.ini file, then this is what you need to do, but make sure you do this when FSUIPC7 isn't running. John

Your version of FSUIPC7 is very old - 7.2.0 from June 2021. The latest and only supported version is 7.3.21 - please update before anything else. Your WideClient also needs updating - you are using version 6.999 and the latest version is 7.160. Please always make sure that FSUIPC7 is no longer running before you attach;log files. Can you also please activate logging in FSUIPC7 for Buttons & Keys. Also, in your WideClient.ini this line: Log=Errors+ should be in your [User] section but is currently under your [Sounds] section - please correct this as well. Note also that you are using UseSendInput=Yes which is documented as: So you must make sure that P2A has the focus when using this method. You can try this, but it would be better to direct the key stokes to P2A instead - see the section Directing Key Strokes more precisely in the WideFS Technical manual on how to do this. Note you also have an error in the first line of one of your lua scripts: 155937 *** LUA Error: C:\FSUIPC7\ProSim-doors.lua:1: unexpected symbol Please correct all of the above and try again, and any issues please re-send thise files, with the additional logging enabled, and also please attach your WideServer.log file (from the server).

Why did you post this question in a completely unrelated topic, and also in the wrong forum? You have already requested an FSUIPC7 trial license, so you must know there is a specific forum for FSUIPC7. Sorry, the lua is for the FBWA320, not the PMDG 737. My mistake. For the PMDG 737 parking brake, you need to use the PMDG custom controls - please see this FAQ entry: However, it may be easier to use the available presets. To use these, check the Select for Preset checkbox (in the assignment panels) and you can assign your buttons/switch/keys to the following presets: PMDG B737-7 PARKING BRAKE ON PMDG_B737-7 PARKING BRAKE OFF See the MF HubHop site for a complete (and searchable) list of available presets: https://hubhop.mobiflight.com/presets/ You generally activate reversers by sending a Throttle Decr control (on repeat) on a button press (once throttle is in idle position) and also send a Throttle Cut (or Throttle Set with parameter -1) on release. See this thread for further info: John

You are sending keysend numbers 1 and 2 But are looking for keysend numbers 110, 111, 112 and 113. You need to use KeySend1=... KeySend2=... And you should use different keysend numbers (i.e. 3 and 4) for the buttons used for SayIt. So, try (I also changed repeat R to a press P - do you really need repeat?) and

The lvar holds the correct value but writing to this does not update it. The MF in/dec presets work, but I don't know what can be used to set a specific value.

FSX CTD since the beginning of May
John Dowson replied to Mattie941's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Ok, the install log shows the 3 simconnect versions installed, so this should be ok... You could try a clean FSX install first... Sorry, but not sure what else I can advise. -
It looks like the VS uses the lvar L:A32NX_AUTOPILOT_VS_SELECTED. Try listing the lvars to see if that holds the correct value, and if so add that to a free FSUIPC7 offset. See the section Adding Lvars to Offsets in the Advanced User guide (P46) on how to do this. I don't know if writing to that lvar is working to update the VS, but you can also try that by writing to the offset that holds the lvar, and FSUIPC will try to update the lvar value. Note that the MF presets for the VS in/dec use the following calculator code: inc: (L:A32NX_TRK_FPA_MODE_ACTIVE, bool) 1 == if{ (>H:A320_Neo_FCU_AP_INC_FPA) } els{ 3 (>K:AP_VS_VAR_INC) (>H:A320_Neo_FCU_VS_INC) } dec: (L:A32NX_TRK_FPA_MODE_ACTIVE, bool) 1 == if{ (>H:A320_Neo_FCU_AP_DEC_FPA) } els{ 3 (>K:AP_VS_VAR_DEC) (>H:A320_Neo_FCU_VS_DEC) } So it looks like updating this depends on the track FPA mode - whatever that is... Later: there is also the lvar L:A320_Neo_FCU_VS_SET_DATA that may also be worth adding and checking.... - checked this and this doesn't hp;f the set value, but the lvar L:A32NX_AUTOPILOT_VS_SELECTED does, but haven't checked if it can be updated...

FSX CTD since the beginning of May
John Dowson replied to Mattie941's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Nom that was for FSX-SE - I only have the steam version, which is 10.0.62615.0. That is because they are trying to install 10.0.61259.0 which you already have installed. Oy seems that FSX Acceleration uses 3 simconect versions: I am not sure what the difference is between microsoft.flightsimulator.simconnect and the Simconnect.dl and why these are at different versions, but I guess you are ok with the versions installed. Could you attach your FSUIPC4 Install.log file please as that will tell me the simconnect versions installed/detected in your system. But I don't think this can be related to your CTD issue. -
With version 7.3.20 or 7.3.21? If its working with 7.3.20, can you try 7.3.21 again please. Before re-installing, just rename your FSUIPC7.exe to FSYUPC7.exe.7320 so that, after the newer version is installed you can easily switch back to the older version if needed. If its now working in 7.3.21, I don't know what could have caused this temporary issue... If its working in 7.3.20 but not un 7.3.21, I will need to look into the cause... Thanks, John

FSX CTD since the beginning of May
John Dowson replied to Mattie941's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
That is the xpack installer, not the simconnect one. If you go to your FSX installation folder. look under SDK\Core Utilities Kit\SimConnect SDK\LegacyInterfaces\FSX-XPACK and you should see a SimConnect.msi file/installer there - try that one. Ok, no problem - just wanted to confirm you had tried this to rule out the possibility of a corrupt weather file. -
I am not sure if this is possible in FSX. You could try activating logging for Events (non-axis controls) and see if anything is logged in your FSUIPC4.log file, and if so then try using that. In MSFS, this is possible in the FBW and Fenix versions of the A320, but not in the default/Asobo one, as far as I am aware. John

No...that is the logging console. As I said, you close that using the Log -> Close Console menu option. Sorry, but I don't understand what is so complicated about this... The logging console is open when requested, and stays open until you close it....

Fresh Install. Does not show in Task Manager or Minimized
John Dowson replied to ironcondor's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
It should be un the system tray. You can open it using the (default) hot-key combination of Alt+F. If you see the splash screen, it should be running, unless it has either exited or crashed. If you are sure it isn't running, please show me/attach the FSUIPC7.log file generated (and before you start FSUIPC7 manually). John -
Ok. Strange an improvement mod would do that. I will take a look at that mod when I get a chance... The console window is open until you close it, using the Log -> Close Console menu option. FSUIPC7 always starts iconised to your system tray, unless you always want to displau the main window when it is started by adding the following to your FSUIPC7.ini: OpenOnStart=Yes To show/hide the main window, you can use the (default) hot-key assignment Alt+F. You should at least read the User guide to familiarise yourself with the FSUIPC7 basics.... John

FSX CTD since the beginning of May
John Dowson replied to Mattie941's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
There is a mismatch between your FSX version and the Simconnect version: 31844 Running in "Microsoft Flight Simulator X", Version: 10.0.61637.0 (SimConnect: 10.0.61259.0) You could try installing and using SimConnect 10.0.61637.0 to see if that makes a difference. That wasn't in the ini file you linked to, but if you have tried with no weather requests from FSUIPC and you still get this issue, then it will not be relayed to a corrupt weather file. You are using an unregistered version of FSUIPC, so all FSUIPC is doing is supporting your add-ons. Then I really don't have any further advice, sorry. John -
FSX CTD since the beginning of May
John Dowson replied to Mattie941's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Have you tried deleting your fsx.cfg file and letting that get rebuilt? Otherwise it could be caused by another FSX add-on. What add-ons do you have installed? And have you tried uninstalling them and adding them back one-by-one until you find the culprit? Have you at least tried the NoWeatherAtAll ini parameter to tule out a corrupt weather file? Other than that, I can't really help with FSX CTDs that are not caused by FSUIPC. Have you tried the avsim CTD guide for advice, and there are many other FSX CTDs in API.dll reported on avsim... -
Done.

FSX CTD since the beginning of May
John Dowson replied to Mattie941's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
That thread was for when you have to trust FSUIPC every time you start FSX. If you don't need to do this, then you can ignore that. Does this happen each time you load that flight plan? Can you also please post the crash event from the windows event viewer. You could try setting NoWeatherAtAll=Yes just to make sure that this is not caused by a corrupt weather file. If it isn't, and the crash is not related to FSUIPC, I am not sure how I can help.... John -
So the aileron controls are being sent to the sim, so I so not understand why they are having no affect. Do you not see the joystick on the DA62 moving left/right when you do this? If not, I don't know what can be causing this as it seems to work just fine here. Do you have any mods installed for the DA62?

Wouldn't offsets 0x3330 and 0x3332 be better? 0r 0x089A and 0x0932? I am not sure about this - best to just monitor the offset values using FSUIPC's offset monitoring facilities, to see how they change when the AP has control. May also be worth looking at offsets 0x0898 and 0x0930. I have moved your post to the correct support forum - hopefully some other motorized TQ users will see this and can help you... John

Bravo Throttle Quad Problems in MFS only.
John Dowson replied to arrowspace90's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
For the ATR throttle and condition levers, see the following post: Where is this assigned - in MSFS or FSUIPC7? You should have tried a trial license before purchasing.... Not necessarily - do you see FSYUPC7 running? If auto-start is enabled, it will start and sit in your system tray. You can also use the (defauly) hot-key combination ALT+F to show/hide the main window. You register your license at the end of the installation process. Please see the provided Installing and Registering FSUIPC7 document. Also please at least read the User guide. Yes, please see the provided documentation. There are also many support requests in this forum on settings for specific aircraft. it is recommended to start with an empty profile in MSFS if you are assigning in FSUIPC7, although you can mix-and match assignments between MSFS and FSUIPC7 if you so wish. However, make sure that that you are not assigning anything both in FSUIPC7 and MSFS - which is why i recommend starting with an empty profile in MSFS if assigning in FSUIPC7. John
