Did you try logging (events) to see if anything is logged when you activate the speedbrakes in the UI? Also, check to see if there are any lvars available for this. Also keep an eye on the available MF presets for this aircraft (https://hubhop.mobiflight.com/) - I can't see any at the moment, but this is the community resource where such things are added and made available when found. Note the preset list (events.txt) installed in your FSUIPC7 folder is most probably out-of-date and will not contain any of the PMFG 737 presets. I have attached the latest one below - use this to replace the one in your FSUIPC7 installation folder. John events.txt

PMDG 737 MSFS 2020: Climb rate reduced when FSUIPC7 running
John Dowson replied to GuyNeild's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
If you are not using FSUIPC to control the aircraft, it should really not be doing anything... Can you show me your FSUIPC7.ini file, and also an FSUIPC7.log file generated with logging for Events activated. Also, as a test, try (temporarily) renaming your current FSUIPC7.ini file (so that a new/default one will be used) and see if you still have your issue. Also, if you have a registered version, try (temporarily) renaming your FSUIPC7.key file (e.g. to FSUIPC7.key.unused) and see if you get the same issue with an unregistered version. Also, please let me know what FSUIPC clients you are using - if you run FSUIPC but without the clients running, do you still get the same problem? John -
Hi Jakub, I think there may be issues due to the non-ascII letters in your name, and the password verification cannot understand unicode characters. I will message you a key file to use shortly. John

fuel levers idle/cutoff for the new PMDG 737-700 MSFS
John Dowson replied to Cuantreau's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
Did you check the SDK, or list the lvars to see what is available? Controls for the MSFS version of the PMFG 737 may not be the same as used by the P3D version. There doesn't seem to be much for the auto-brake on the MF HubHop preset list at the moment, just one that shows the following lvar for the AutoBrake Disarm Annunciator State: L:switch_459_73X John -
Joystick twist as rudder config
John Dowson replied to FloS's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
This sounds like the axis has been registered as a digital on/off axis, although I would have expected to see 0 (not -16383) and 16383. Check this post if this is the issue: Otherwise, check and try calibrating in the windows game controls configuration, and see what values/movement you see there. John -
If you don't want to have the splash-screen, just don't use (or install) the MSFS desktop icon. This just displays the splash screen and starts MSFS, so if you don't want the splash-screen then use the MSFS icon or menu entry to start MSFS instead. John

FSUIPC error upon starting FSX
John Dowson replied to epopchock's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
I don't know why you are attaching your installation logs... Have you read what I have already said on this issue? I cannot add any more to what I have already said, and you need to tell me what is actually happening: -
What does this mean? There is no password, and there is nothing that you can change. All 3 parts of the registration - Name, Address, Key - should match the details you received in your purchase email, and also available in your SimMarket account. Copy and paste the details so that they are the same. If it still does not verify, check that your VC++ redistributables are up-to-date. I recommend you uninstall any of the VC++ redistributables you have currently installed for 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2022 and download and install the latest combined packages (both x64 and x86) from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist. If you still have issues after this, let me know your order number and I will check it here. Do NOT post your key details! John

Do you have a steam or MS Store version of MSFS? Please attach your InstallFSUIPC7.log file. Did you run MSFS at least once before trying to install FSUIPC7? What is the location of your MSFS UserCfg.opt file? John NB: I have deleted your other post on the same issue

FSUIPC 7.2.13 provides wrong path for flight plans folder
John Dowson replied to AivlaSoft's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
This depends on the MSFS version - whether you have an MSFS install or a steam install. For the latter, it is under <USER>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator -
MSFS2020 / FSUIPC7 - how to know if the simulator is in 'Pause' state
John Dowson replied to paulsk's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
It is still not possible to detect the active pause states, as far as I am aware - although I have not looked into this again for some time. MSFS contains various different pause states, activated by different controls. It is recommended to switch to one of the other pause controls, which are detected. I posted about this in the Asobo forums: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/simconnect-mega-thread/116305/79?u=impolitegem5317 John -
You seem to keep having the same issues...but I really can't say any more in the auto-start than I have already.... John

Looking at the MobiFlight HubHop resource (https://hubhop.mobiflight.com/), there are 4 presets available for toggling the 4 superchargers: PMDGDC6_SUPERCHARGER_1_TOGGLE - 128101 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) PMDGDC6_SUPERCHARGER_2_TOGGLE - 128201 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) PMDGDC6_SUPERCHARGER_3_TOGGLE - 128301 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) PMDGDC6_SUPERCHARGER_4_TOGGLE - 128401 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) These are quite new and may not be in the current events.rxr file included with FSUIPC7 - I have attached the latest one.

The only config parameter for VRInsight devices (apart from the COM port config section) that comes to mind is this one: Then the issue will be with your assignments. As with PMDG aircraft for other FSs, many of the standard controls / offsets do not work and you have to use custom controls (using various parameters with the Rotor Brake control). Alternatively, there are many presets available for the PMDG 737 for MSFS, although these will not be in the current events.txt file included with FSUIPC7. I have attached the latest below - use this to replace your current one and you should see many new presets for the PMDG 737. John events.txt

Can I use FSUIPC7 as a bridge from PMDGNG3 to Offset ?
John Dowson replied to smoothchat's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
I'll take a look next week (Wednesday - holiday until then...) - but if they are lvars, they are already available. Try listing the lvars - Addon->WASM->List Lvars - and see if they are there... John -
fuel levers idle/cutoff for the new PMDG 737-700 MSFS
John Dowson replied to Cuantreau's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
Maybe the control codes have changed. Check the documentation for the MSFS version, or check the MobiFlight hubhob site (https://hubhop.mobiflight.com/) for available presets - there are currently 270 available. However, they won't be available in the current events.txt file as this is out of date. I have attached the latest event file - use this to replace the one in your current FSUIPC7 installation: events.txt With that updated event file, there are three presets for this: PMDG_B737-7_LIGHTS_ANTI_COLLISION_OFF PMDG_B737-7_LIGHTS_ANTI_COLLISION_ON PMDG_B737-7_LIGHTS_ANTI_COLLISION_TOGGLE Looking at the preset code, you can use the Rotor Brake control (event id 66587) with a parameter of 12401 (if you don't want to use the preset directly).

You should always check your FSUIPC7.log file when adding lvars to offsets as these will most probably tell you what the issue is, and you should also always attach that when requesting support on these issues. Looking at your ini: Several things stand out: 1. you have no profile called 'Boeing'. You have two profiles - '247' and '737'. If you are setting this up for the B247D, it should be: [LvarOffsets.247] i.e. it needs to match the name of the profile that you want to use this with. 2. Your lvar names contain spaces...are you sure this is correct? I suspect they should be L:ENG_THROTTLE_1 L:ENG_THROTTLE_2 i.e. use underscores rather than spaces. 3. You are assigning all those lvars as single unsigned bytes, so that they can only hold an integer number between 0 and 255. Are you sure this is correct? Check what values the lvars you are using hold, and assign them the correct type. Also make sure that the offset size is correct, i.e. if you change the type to a larger size, make sure that the next lvar is not overwriting the offset area from the preceding one. John

Not 100% sure as I don't have this aircraft, but I suspect that there will be PMDG custom controls for this, using specific parameters for the Rotor Brake control. If you are not familiar with PMDG custom controls, see the following FAQ entry: John

Can I use FSUIPC7 as a bridge from PMDGNG3 to Offset ?
John Dowson replied to smoothchat's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
FSUIPC has a 'spoofing' facility activated by offset 0x0024, which allows another value to to override the actual offset value when being read from external programs - see the offset documentation for details. I also provided a script to show how this is done for the parking brake offset 0x0BC8 substituting the value with the value from the lvar L:A32NX_PARK_BRAKE_LEVER_POS - see As for the specific PMDG variables, I am still unsure what PMDG are providing for the MSFS version. For P3D/FSX, PMDG provided additional data that is added to a specific PMDG offset area. I am still waiting to hear from PMDG if this additional data is available in the MSFS version, or if they are now providing this information in another way, such as via lvars. If PMDG are providing this data (via custom client data areas) I will update FSUIPC7 to include this data and provide documentation on what is available. I will post updates on this is the following thread: John -
Ah yes...that has been know to cause issues with complex aircraft...thanks for reporting back. John

fsuipc freezes with the new pmdg B737 msfs

Please attach your FSUIPC7.log and FSUIPC7.ini file. Note that I am on holiday and will not be looking into any issues until Wednesday. John -
New payware aircraft suppressing each other's LVars
John Dowson replied to buick552's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
No problem! -
I think you are misunderstanding what the event functions do... they register a function to be called when the event occurs - the actual event.key functions registers the event and returns straight away. The handling function is called when the event occurs - it could return a value but there is no point as there is nothing to handle the returned value (except the thread...). John
