MCP from VRInsight displays working with FSUIPC directly
John Dowson replied to OVD's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
No harm in trying/posting, event though its an old post, and you can also try tagging the post's author (using the @ notation). But it seems that the author went on to use LINDA for managing his lua scripts anyway... Did you look at the documentation and scripts he provided - you could use that as a starting point and update to MSFSFBWA320, as the scripts were written for FSX and PMDG. You may need to update the script to use/call presets rather than controls (custom or otherwise). See the HubHop site for a list of available presets available (https://hubhop.mobiflight.com/presets/). For any further assistance, you need to show me how you are currently assigning, together with a log file showing any issues. John -
MCP from VRInsight displays working with FSUIPC directly
John Dowson replied to OVD's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
Maybe try posting for further information in that User Contribution topic: VRInsight MCP Combo and FSUIPC Lua scripting, as that seems to be what you are looking for. Maybe also see: https://forum.pmdg.com/forum/main-forum/pmdg-737-for-msfs/187760-vrinsight-mcp-combo-fsuipc-nothing-with-the-new-pmdg-737 John -
All programs must be ran at the same privilege level, so if one program is ran in admin mode, then all programs, including the FS, must be ran in admin mode. This just shows that an external program with pid 17172 (is that Pegasus?) is reading those FSUIPC offsets: 3304: FSUIPC version number: 3308: FS version, as determined by FSUIPC 3124: The specific version of FSX or P3D being used. 290C: Number of Hot Joystick Button slots available for Application Programs to use 320C: Number of Hot Key slots available for Application Programs to use. If I log those offsets when FSUIPC7 is connected to MSFS I see these values: Which are all correct (N.B. you will see 0x73110000 at offset 0x3304 if using the latest version). This all seems correct to me, so if Pegasus cannot connect you need to contact support for Pegasus to see why. I also have no idea what Pegasus is - do you have a link? John

ASP3D won't work because of FSCUIPC
John Dowson replied to Ricey's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
You attached the log file when FSUIPC6 was still running. Please always exit FSUIPC before attaching a log file. I really don't see how FSUIPC can stop ASP3D connecting to P3D. You are using the latest version of FSUIPC (i.e it is not outdated) and FSUIPC does not store any login information - it only uses your FSUIPC registration details which your log shows are valid (as well as having nothing to do with ASP3D!). I suggest you go back to ASP3D support for this issue. John -
You posted this in a topic 'Max Throttle causes sim to change to outside view using P3D v4': You again posted in the User Contributions sun-forum. I have deleted that post. This is the second time - the next time your posts will just be deleted. As for your issue, I have already told you what you need to do: If you want help with specific assignments, please attach your FSUIPC ini and log files, the latter generated showing your issue and with relevant logging enabled e.g. usually axis controls for axes assignment issues and events (non-axis controls) for buttons a & key assignments. For your issue, activate logging for both. Also, check your assignments in FSX - if assigning in FSUIPC, we recommend disabling controllers completely in the FS.

Vrinsight mcp combo msfs and fbw a320
John Dowson replied to flightsimmer747's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
Why is this different from your previous topic posted:? -
No point running it if the entries are not there, but it won't do any harm either. Can you set a Log->Custom value of x200200 and show me a log with that logging added.

John Dowson replied to OVD's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
How are these knobs assigned? Do they work as expected when using Linda? If you can share how they are assigned, I can take a look. Also try activating logging for Events to see if that reveals anything. If using the FBW A320, many of the standard FS controls don't work as expected - check to see if there are any presets for the functions you want to implement on the HubHop preset site https://hubhop.mobiflight.com/presets/ -
Yes, your xbox one controller is recognised ok: Its the phantom one that is causing issue, same as in the previous post I refeenced: You could try running the attached regedit script to remove this, but I suspect windows will just add it back. I may look into getting FSUIPC to ignore such entries if this is going to be an issue, John removexboxcontroller.reg

What 'following controls'? They are not reset. Please see the section on profiles in the User guide. If your aircraft is already assigned to a profile, then the profile-specific checkbox will always be checked and inactive in the axis assignment panel. In the buttons and keys assignment panels, you can always check/uncheck the profile specific checkbox to see the profile-specific or general assignments, as all general button and key assignments apply to the profile, unless overridden. When first creating a profile, you are asked if you want to import the general axes assignments - they won't be available unless you do this. If you have any further questions, please attach your FSUIPC7.ini and FSUIPC7.log files, and tell me what assignment you think is being 'reset'. John

I trust FSUIPC is the answer, MSFS and motion simulator
John Dowson replied to mrjohn's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
Why would there be conflicts with USB connections? Any program can request a connection to a usb device. FSUIPC supports HID joystick type devices directly, and other HID type devices using lua. But, if it is available to your program, you can do anything you want with it there, including writing to FSUIPC offsets. Maybe download FSUIPC and take a look at the SDK folder to see the tools provided for programmers. As your post relates to MSFS, I will move this to the FSUIPC7 support sub-forum. John -
You still have the same issue - the throttle's GUID is being associated to two devices, one with the name 'CH THROTTLE QUADRANT' and one with an empyt name: This looks to be an issue with a phantom xbox one controller entry, the same as reported in this thread: The final solution in that thread was to leave the controller with an empty name, so you are now doing. I don't think there is much else to be done, but I will look into this issue further when time permits. John

As you are using MSFS/FSUIPC7, I have moved your post to the specific FSUIPC7 sub-forum. I have not heard of this issue before... There is a maximum number is SimConnect clients, which is defined by the maxClients parameter for each connection in your SimConnect.xml. However, this usually defaults to 64, which should be high enough, but there is a long standing issue where unused connections are not returned to the pool, so frequently re-connecting clients can exhaust the connection pool. For such issues, you should increase this to 128 or higher. You can check and increase this, but I don't think this will be your issue... You could activate SimConnect logging and check what errors you get there when this occurs. You can also attach an FSUIPC7.log file generated when FSUIPC7 cannot connect and I can take a look - I don't think it will tell me much but there maybe further logging I can add/enable to get more information.

As far as I am aware, there is no access to z vars provided by the the SDK. But you say they are A:vars aka simvars....so what is the difference between a Z and and and A var? If they are treated the same via the SDK, then you can just use the facilities provided by FSUIPC to add any available simvar to an offset. Otherwise, if they are more like L:vars, then I would need to check if they were readable by the WASM and provide a mechanism to pass the values back to FSUIPC as I do with lvars. But I can't really say much more until I know more about what z:vars are and how they can be accessed. I don't see anything about these in the MSFS SDK documentation - do you have any references?

MCP from VRInsight displays working with FSUIPC directly
John Dowson replied to OVD's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
This really should be possible....maybe take a look at these posts for other VRInsight devices John -
First, you posted in the User Contributions sub-forum where it explicitly states Not for support requests. You also don't say what aircraft you are using. Many add-on aircraft can use custom controls and/or lvars, rather than the standard controls provided by the FS. If you want help with specific assignments, please attach your FSUIPC ini and log files, the latter generated showing your issue and with relevant logging enabled (e.g. usually axis controls for axes assignment issues and events (non-axis controls) for buttons a & key assignments). I provide extensive documentation. FSUIPC is a product that work with an huge range of controllers and all aircraft, and the configuration of each controller can be different for each aircraft and for each persons' preference. It is just not possible for me to provide specific guides for each controller or aircraft. There are plenty of guides for specific issues in the User Contributions and FAQ section, and I think there are also several user-posted videos on youtube on various issues.

Looks like you need to remove a registry entry...I'm finishing now (got to take the dogs for a walk!) - I'll post you a regedit file tomorrow. John

Problem with reading PMDG CDU Screen Data offsets using LUA
John Dowson replied to Dominik's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
The data is as explained in the PMDG offset document - please see that to find out how to interpret the data. -
Problem with reading PMDG CDU Screen Data offsets using LUA
John Dowson replied to Dominik's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
The lua example I showed you should do the first part - you need to add the ability to write out the CDU_data array variable to a text file. -

Not sure what you mean or what FSUIPC has to do with this.... -
Hvars missing for some liveries fbw320
John Dowson replied to flightsimmer747's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
I think changing the aircraft/livery name is not a good idea as any changes will get overwritten when you update. Just use multiple substrings, so that you catch each livery, e.g If you load an aircraft with a livery that is not matched, just add it to the profile using the FSUIPC UI. Afterwards, you can look at the ini and change the full aircraft name. FSUIPC will only add full aircraft names to profiles, even when using UseAirLocForHvars - I will change this at some point to add the folder name instead... This really isn't that complicated....

ASP3D won't work because of FSCUIPC
John Dowson replied to Ricey's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Why are you posting me ASP3D logs? It means nothing to me - show them to AS. You can post your FSUIPC log file here, not logs from other client programs. And the title of your post is very misleading. It is not working as you do not have it configure correctly, not due to FSUIPC. Is FSUIPC even running? -
That picture means nothing to me. I support FSUIPC, not whatever that is. But, as that screenshot shows, do you have FSUIPC installed and running? If not, install it and run it and try again. If your issue is that FSUIPC7 is not auto-starting with MSFS, see Otherwise, tell me what your issue is with FSUIPC7, otherwise I suggest you try the support for the program you are using. John

MCP from VRInsight displays working with FSUIPC directly
John Dowson replied to OVD's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
If it works with LINDA, it should also work without, as that is built upon FSUIPC's lua facilities. See the appendix on VRInsight devices in the Advanced User guide, together with the additional document Lua Plugins for VRInsight Devices.pdf. John -
Btw, if you have a keyboard where it is difficult to tell the state of the Num, Caps and Scroll lock, you can use this free utility: https://keyboard-leds.com/ That is what I use. It sits in your tray and shows the state of the locks and allows you to change the state easily, and is pretty customizable. John
