  1. No idea.... Can you actually tun FSUIPC7? Try running FSUIPC7 on its own, without MSFS. If it runs ok, it is nothing to do with FSUIPC7. If you get any errors, it will be because your Microsoft VC++ redistributables need updating - download and run the latest VC++ redistibutable package from Microsoft, available from here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170 If you have any of the 2015, 2017, 2019 or 2022 redistubutables already installed, maybe a good idea to uninstall them first, using the Windows App management panel (although the installer may do that for you, not sure...). John
  2. The license has been updated, valid until 1st Feb 2023. John
  3. It sounds like you want to calibrate the lower part of the throttle axis differently than the rest of the range...The only way you could do this would be using a lua script. You can assign your throttle axis value to an FSUIPC offset, have a lua script monitor that offset to get the value and then send on the required value to the FS. John
  4. PMDG recently fixed the parking brake, but this fix seems to have actually broken it for many users - see this post: I am not sure what they have done (have not had time to look into this in detail yet), but I certainly cannot change the functionality at offset 0x0BC8 as that is a general offset for all aircraft. For now, I suggest you check the PMDG forums for information about this issue. I will look into this further when time permits... John
  5. It is the same offset in FSUIPC7 - 0x05C4, and is also read-only. To set the frequency, you need to use the appropriate control/event (or maybe preset, depending on avionics). Usually you would set the frequency by inc/dec of the current (standby) frequency, and the inc/dec controls should inc/dec through the 8.33KHz spacing.
  6. That is an output preset - i.e. it returns a value, and does not actually do anything. For assignments, you need to restrict to input presets. John
  7. Use the MobiFlight HubHop server to search for presets: https://hubhop.mobiflight.com/presets/ This is documented in the Advanced User guide. John
  8. Well, it can be made available, by looking at the value of 3 simvars: CIRCUIT SWITCH ON, BUS LOOKUP INDEX and BUS CONNECTION ON. If needed, you can add them to free offsets, and use a lua script to update a fourth/fifth offset with the actual avionics master 1/2 state when any of those change. John
  9. This will almost certainly depend on the aircraft that you are using, i.e. will be different for each aircraft (use profiles). Try searching for a preset for separate avionics on https://hubhop.mobiflight.com/presets/ for the aircraft you are using, and you can then assign to these by checking the Select for preset checkbox. If you look at the code for the preset, this should indicate the lvar which holds the individual avionics states, and you can add these lvars to an FSUIPC offset if you want to read the state. John
  10. You can use the mouse-click parameters instead - a left/right click should inc/dec. Otherwise there is also probably a preset available for this - you can search for available presets on https://hubhop.mobiflight.com/presets/, and presets are available for assignment by checking the Select for preset checkbox. John
  11. Yes, I have checked further and it shouldn't present any issues. However, it will increase the time taken to read the buttons section, although this shouldn't be an issue. I may move this setting to an ini parameter if I get time - I will let you know if I do this before release. John
  12. Yes, if it isn't causing any issues....
  13. You say it works fine with MSFS - is that running on a different machine (i.e. not on FSXCOMPUTER)? Your problem looks like a firewall issue blocking the connection on port 8002 (or something else is using that port). But if that is the case, I don't understand how you got that successful connection I showed you in an earlier post. Can you please try with all firewalls disabled (client, server and also on any routers) to check this and rule this out. Also please check all PCs are in the same windows workgroup. What version of windows are you running an your various PCs? John
  14. That is a very old version of P3D and is no longer supported by FSUIPC. You need to update P3Dv4 to a later version. The minim version for FSUIPC6 is 4.3 (i.e. latest version only) and the minimum version for FSUIPC5 is 4.1. John
  15. Thanks Ray - presume that is this post: https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/628812-installing-rcv4-on-my-new-build-computer-running-p3d-v53. There doesn't seem to be a solution posted there, and the OP said ' with instructions which I have tried but with no luck'. The dll and instructions are available here: https://appuals.com/how-to-fix-msstdfmt-dll-is-missing-error/ Maybe @Jlinckecould post his solution, for others who have the same issue and come across this post. Thanks, John
  16. For the PMDG aircraft, using the Rotor Brake control, you can only send mouse operations as the parameter. Rather than using the Rotor Brake control, you can use custom control numbers instead. Using these, you can also use mouse operations as the parameter (for parameter values >= 0x2000 / 8192) but you can also set the value directly, when the parameter is < 8192. See For the Fenix, looking at the presets they are using lvars, not Rotor Brake controls, so you won't see anything logged. You need to list the lvar values, and see how they change when you operate the switches in the VC (i.e. list the values before and after you operate a switch). If you know what lvars are being used, you can also add those lvars to a free fsuipc offset, and use FSUIPC's offset monitoring facilities to log the lvar changes. I don't have the Fenix, so can't help much further with that - you can use the MF HubHob site (https://hubhop.mobiflight.com/presets/) to see the calculator code for the presets which should tell you how they are implemented - with lvars, hvars or controls/events. John
  17. Maybe...I am not 100% sure about any side-effects of this change, but I have updated to allow up to 9999 in the attached beta version, 7.3.16c. Please test this and let me know if ok or not - if not, then I will reverse this and look in more detail when time permits, but this will be very low priority. John FSUIPC7.exe
  18. I cannot open those files - I get a data error. And why is the log file so large anyway? If you are just logging Buttons & Keys and Events, loading an aircraft and pressing a few assigned keys (which aren't working, and then exiting, the log file should be no where near that size. So can you please try again, and just use the default windows Compress to zip file option to compress.
  19. You should never modify the [LuaFiles] section - that section is maintained by FSUIPC. But ipc.control does not have an offset parameter, only one for the control number and one for the parameter to the control. John
  20. As I said, I will renew the trial license next week, on Monday 9th...
  21. Please see this post/comment: If the UserCfg.opt file cannot be installed, you can try and correct this, but this only means that the WASM module isn't installed. You can extract the WASM module by unzipping the following file: C:\FSUIPC7\SDK\FSUIPC-WASM.zip, then unzip fsuipc-lvar-module.zip and copy the folder fsuipc-lvar-module to your MSFS Community folder. John
  22. Neither is fail! I will generate a new trial license next week. John
  23. I think these things can depend on the shell being used....e.g. command prompt vs windows terminal vs power shell....
