Yes, I know - but I was wondering if it was a joystick type HID device. If so, it would be registered in the FSUIPC4.log file under the joysticl scan section, and would be available for direct assignment via the UI as that is always the easiest methpd to assign. But I guess it isn't. 👍 Cheers, John

To use custom controls, you should select the <custom control> entry from the assignment drop-down menus with Select for FS control checked. No need to manually edit the ini file. If any assignment isn't working, I need to see your FSUIPC7.ini file and your FSUIPC7.log file, the latter generated with logging for Events and Buttons & Switches activated. Make sure the log file is complete (i.e. do not use the New Log feature) and exit FSUIPC7 before attaching the log file). John

No. you are correct to add that back in if you want to have FSUIPC7 to be restarted automatically. Looks like the GSX installer is behaving badly and replacing the exe.xml with its own, whereas it should respect what is there and add its own entry - i.e. just update it to start GSX if already present, otherwise its free to create its own. You should report this to GSX. I have had many issues previously reported about other 3rd party products doing, as well as some corrupting the existing exe.xml so that DSUIPC cannot add its entry - this issue should reveal itself in the log and is documented in the FAQ entry on auto-start. Also, rather than manually add, you can just re-install FSUIPC7. Cheers, John

If the joystick is recognised as a HID joystick type device by FSUIPC, you can use FSUIPCs assignment facilities. Otherwise, it would need a lua script using the com library. But if its working using Python and you are happy with this then probably no reason to switch to Lua. Cheers, John

The license is still available and still valid. I will not be updating it until the 3rd or 4th April. John

That's what I would have thought, but doesn't seem to be the case... Ok

MobiFlight's response: I checked in the sim with the latest FBW A320-Dev and the code for the AP 1 button is (>H:A320_Neo_FCU_AP_1_PUSH) which matches the Hubhop event. I tested with my panel and it works. Just in case, you do need to have a flight plan entered in the MCDU and be airborne for the AP buttons to activate, though. Note the part in bold - was this the case when you tested?

Message back from MobiFlight/Jamie Leon: "I can verify that later today. Thanks for reporting it."

I do not know why you would think that....if I require to see a log or ini file, I will ask for it, and usually with specific logging activated to diagnose your issue. As presets ARE working for you, your issue is with specific presets, which are provided by MobiFlight. I only provide the mechanism that allows presets to be used - I cannot help with specific presets - you need to ask about these with whoever provides the preset, as I have said.... I think that is enough on this topic - I am repeating myself here....

Why are you posting log files? I have nothing more to say on your issue of those presets not working. As I said, I will let you know when/if I hear anything from MobiFlight on those presets.

Why are you pasting a partial FSUIPC7.log file?

If you have downloaded the latest version, you may as well keep it....it will have the latest additions.

Why would it?

I am not sure why you want to replace this - the one included in the latest release is pretty recent and contains the preset you are using, so I don't know why you are updating. You only need to update if there a new preset has been added that you would like to use, or if an existing preset has changed. Btw, I also tested those presets here and they don't seem to work, although I don't really know that much about the A32NX....

Just restart FSUIPC7. I have reported the presets A32NX_Autopilot_AP_1_Push and A32NX_Autopilot_AP_2_Push not working in the MobiFlight discord channel for you. I will let you know what they say if/when I get a response. John

Sorry, but what does this mean? I am not saying or implying that you have changed a preset (although you can do this if you so wish - but not recommended as it will get overwritten on the next release). I include the latest preset list (events.txt file) from MobiFlight in every release. You can download and update this yourself in-between releases if you so wish. As that preset was updated on 21st March, maybe the preset was renamed? If that is the case, you will need to re-assign to the new name - you should get an error in the FSUIPC7.log file if the preset name cannot be found.

They are - preset names have spaces not underscores: John

Presume you mean the presets A32NX_Autopilot_AP_1_Push and A32NX_Autopilot_AP_2_Push. I will switch to the dev version and try this later. However, if the preset mechanism is working for you (i.e. you do have a working preset), but some presets are not working, then you should report / ask about this on the MobiFlight Discord channel - preferably by tagging the author of the preset (if posible). I just provide the mechanism to implement the presets, and provide the preset file from MobiFlight (https://hubhop.mobiflight.com/presets/). John

No. However there is a trial license available if you would like to try it: John

That is provided by Pail Henty, and any questions on that should be directed to the support sub-forum fir this: https://forum.simflight.com/forum/167-fsuipc-client-dll-for-net/ I don't provide any C# clients, so that is probably also Paul's.

👍

Did a quick check and the WT GNS 430/530 uses hvars, the same ones as the stock GNS. And these are what the MF presets use, so they should work. Your preset log file is showing that you are NOT using presets, but standard controls. For example, the preset for the clear button is called AS430_CLR_Push, and your log file is showing the standard control GPS_CLEAR_BUTTON. And always post full log files to support, i.e. do not use the New Log function. I cannot tell what version of FSUIPC7 you are using - make sure it is the latest, which is 7.3.19. Any further issues with this, please attach your FSUIPC7.ini and a full FSUIPC7.log file with logging for Events and Buttons & Keys activated. John

Yes - you can use the DontLogThese ini parameter - see the Advanced User guide. I will take a look in the C172 and let you know - however this will most likely be tomorrow now (I have to get started on lunch...!). John

Ok - and let me know which aircraft (Asobo) you are using, as well as a GPS control, if you you still can't find anything that works and I will take a look. John

Ah, ok. I was just looking at your log file but it didn't help much...it looks like it was something to do with an offset/simvar not having the correct value to enable some threads to be started. I was going to add some additional logging to narrow this down - I will still add this for the next version of FSUIPC6 anyway, so that I have more info to track this issue down if it happens again. Anyway, I'm happy this is now solved (saved me some time!) but it would be nice to know the root cause of this issue. No problem. Quite nice here today - sun and clouds, but a little cold (14C). Off into the garden to prepare my outside vegetable beds to start planting later this week... Cheers - enjoy the rest of your weekend, John
