You should also try the standard method to determine what control to use: activate logging for Events, open the logging console window (Log->Open Console), set the starter in the VC and see what control/event (if anything) and parameter are logged, and if so, try using that. For the B-47 G, there is also a preset available: Starter Collective Switch (Starter Switch On Collective Lever) - although maybe that is different, I am not familiar with helicopter controls. Generally, to determine what to use for controlling any switch or control, you should, in the following order): 1. Use logging first, and if anything logged, try that. 2. Check any SDK/ custom controls available for the aircraft (third party) 3. Check if any MF presets are available (see https://hubhop.mobiflight.com/presets/) - these are available for assignment by checking the Select for preset box 4. List the lvars and see if any look appropriate, then try using them using the Add-ons->WASM->Set Lvar menu option. If that works, you can then use that (see the Advanced User guide on how to use lvars).

Which aircraft are you using? No - in the SDK, the key event for this is defined as (in gauges.h): #define KEY_SET_STARTER1_HELD (KEY_ID_MIN + 1471) and an error would be reported if "SET_STARTER1_HELD" was not a valid key string. Some events work when assigned in MSFS but not when used via the SDK, and this can be aircraft dependent. So, let me know which aircraft you are using and I can check - if I have the a/c. You could also try the Magneto controls to see if they work. John

Could you also try updating windows - your CoreMessaging.dll version (where the crash is) is 10.0.19041.867, quite a but older than the one I have (10.0.19041.2193). If you get the same issue after that, please show me those files as well as the crash/error event. Thanks.

I guess you can do that - but you may have difficulties setting up reverse... Would be better to remove the scaling, go into the flypad and configure the throttle axis for no reverse : Settings -> Sim Options -> Throttle Detents, uncheck 'Reverse on Axis' and then 'Save and Apply'. John

I have replaced / regenerated the previous installer zip file: http://www.fsuipc.com/download/Install_FSUIPC6a.zip Sorry about this - not sure why this is happening.... John

Also you can try switching to assign using 'Send direct to FSUIPC calibration' and calibrate in the calibration tab, making sure 'No reverse zone' is checked'. Please report back and I can look into this further tomorrow - been a while since I looked at the FBWA320 and now my MSFS is behaving strangely after it updated - keeps freezing.... John

First, you are using an old an unsupported version of FSUIPC7, 7.3.7 - please update to the latest version, 7.3.16. Check your throttle calibration in the flypad - make sure 'Reverser on axis' is set to off: see https://docs.flybywiresim.com/fbw-a32nx/feature-guides/flypados3/throttle-calibration/#5-test Remove that... I can take a look further if you still have issues - been having internet issues and have reconfigured my network and need to complete this. Hopefully I will be back to normal tomorrow... John

You need to assign to the THROTTLEn_AXIS_SET_EX1 controls for the JF BAE 146 - see You should create a specific profile for this aircraft, import your current axis assignments and then switch the throttle to assign with 'Send to FS as normal axis' and then select the appropriate throttle _EX1 control. If you also need to reverse, scale by -1 as shown in that post. John

See the section Additional parameters to scale input axis values on page 41 of the Advanced User guide. Basically you need to need to scale the axis by multiplying by -1, so you add ,*-1 to the end of the axis assignment line in your FSUIPC7.ini file. I could maybe also allow Axis Helicopter Throttle Set to be calibrated using FSUIPC's calibration page.

Ok, thanks, Are you running any anti-virus software (including Windows Defender)? If so, can you also try disabling any and all antivirus software while you install to see if that helps... In the mean-time, I will put back the previous installer version that allows the installation to continue even if no P3D version detected. Should be available sometime tomorrow - although I cannot guarantee as I am having internet connectivity issues at the moment - its been down most of the day and has been very flakey the past few days, not sure what's going on.... John

Can you please attach your WideClient.log, WideClient.ini, WideServer.log and FSUIPC log file. Was this previously working for you, and if so what has changed?

Do you mean that no P3D installation is detected? I don't understand what can be causing this...Can you confirm that you ran P3D at least once and have the mention registry entries please. Did you install the latest combined VC++ redistrbutables? if not, please also do that and try again - please also uninstall any of the original or combined VC++ redistribs that you already have installed for 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2022 before installing the latest combined package.. If you still get issues after that, I will look into making the hacked installer available again, but would rather not if possible. John

The SDK doesn't provide any facilities to save flight plans unfortunately, only to load them. It would be up to the aircraft to save this information - I guess that is what PMDG does. You should probably ask FBW about this. Note also that the FlightSave and FlightPlanLoad SDK functions are still documented as noy working (NOTE: The current status of this function is NO ERROR, NO RESPONSE.) so there may still be issues using those, and the only flight function currently documented as working is the FlightPlanLoad one. John

Note that FSUIPC also provides an additional control that allows you to turn auto-save on/off (when auto-save is activated). Some folks use this to turn auto-save off on take-off and/or approach to prevent these pauses during critical periods. John

You only need FSUIPC6 for P3D - version 4 and 5. For MSFS2020, you need FSUIPC7. If using FSX, then you only need FSUIPC4. All the latest FSUIPC versions, and info on the Flight sims they support, are available from either the Download Links -> Updated Modules section of this forum or from fsuipc.com. John

Thanks for the additional info and links. John

This can happen when a flight is being saved, especially if using a complex aircraft. You can check that your flight-save folder isn't being scanned by any anti-virus software, but other than that there is not much that can be done. FSUIPC just uses the SDK provided API, and it is MSFS that actually saves the flight. John

Download the zip file (from either the Download Links -> Updated Modules section of this forum or from fsuipc.com), unzip it and run the provided installer. Please read/check the README.txt and the installation guide, especially if you have any issues. I will delete your other posts...please stop posting messages that mean nothing in other topics. Just saying 'it doesn't work' means nothing and you will get no assistance. Please explain any issues you have clearly, whether that is with installing or running FSUIPC, and also attach any log files that you may have that would be of assistance, e.g. your InstallFSUIPC7.log file if you have problems with installation, and your FSUIPC7.log file if problems running FSUIPC7. Also, please heck the provided documentation before posting again - at least read the README.txt and the Installing and Registering FSUIPC7.pdf.

You have posted on the wrong sub-forum - please use Paul Hent'ys vlient dll for .Net sub-forum for support for this - I will move your post. John

From @Flávio Oliveira: @pilotjohn I would like to thank you for sharing the Streamdeck FSUIPC plugin. I'm very interested in using it, but I don't understand how to add the two parameters requested when creating a new button: Virtual Joystick: Button Number: I would like to assign simple shortcuts like turning the landing lights on and off. Could you give me the documentation path to use it, or better, give me an example of how to fill in these fields? I have access to the B738 PMDG SDK file and I can assign these shortcuts through FSUIPC. Thank you very much. I hope you can help me! Just to let you know I'm inexperienced with programming, but I've studied a lot on the subject. I tried to do it this way and it didn't work: https://prnt.sc/mq2Fkt5QE0KB

Please see the available documentation on registration issues. Or search for relevant issues on this forum.

Well, a lot better than chapGPT's attempt! The mask for bit 0 is 1, for bit 1 2, for bit 2 4, etc (i.e. the value the bit represents). And you sum to get the mask, so for the function to be called when bit 0 or 1 is changed, so you want: event.offsetmask(0x7390, 3, "UB", "autopilot") Your handling function will then be called when either bit 0 or 1 is changed, and pass in the value represented by the 2 bits specified in the mask, so 0 if both bits are set, 1 if bit 0 is set and bit 2 is off, 2 if bit 0 is off and bit 1 is set and 3 if both bits are set. Next, the handling function needs to both set and clear your new flag offset, depending on the state of both APs (represented by the 2 bits). Presumably you want this new offset/flag to be set when either autopilot is on, and cleared only when both are off. So you need to test the value received in the handling function. So, the script should be: -- Log Jeehell FMGS AP1 & AP2 LED outputs to offset 0x5300 function autopilot(offset, value) -- ipc.log("**** autopilot lua: value received = " .. value) if value == 0 then -- both AP's are off ipc.writeUB(0x5300,0) else -- at least one AP is on ipc.writeUB(0x5300,1) end end event.offsetmask(0x7390, 3, "UB", "autopilot") ipc.log("Jeehell FMGS AP1 & AP2 LED outputs lua started") John

I already have.... see Please try searching the forum for similar issues/requests before starting a new topic. John

No problem - but your issue should be resolved. I hope - especially if you have turned off lvar update requests from the client. Cheers, John

Ok, I will add a comment with more info to that....
