Did you restart FSUIPC7? Are you sure you placed the file in the correct folder - check by using the Open Installation Folder menu option under the File drop-down menu. Also check the file is called FSUIPC7.key Why do you need to assign keystrokes first, and not just directly assign your cockpit' buttons/switches directly to the corresponding functions? John

FSUIPC In/Out Different in Joystick Calibration
John Dowson replied to TheAlphaFlyer's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
No, sorry - the EXE.xml looks ok. A few people seem to be having this issue. Check that FSUIPC7.exe is not set to run as an administrator, and maybe check the permissions on the file and folder. If you cannot get the EXE.xml to start FSUIPC7, you can switch to the older method of starting FSUIPC7 via the MSFS.bat file (used by the MSFS icon that FSUIPC7 installs on your desktop). See the following posts: John -
FSUIPC7 is aircraft agnostic - it just provides access to the events and simulator variables (A:vars, L:vars) and allows you to execute calculator code on the FS. Assign your key press to the function that performs that operation. For the FBW (and many aircraft) where many standard controls don't work, you can search for a preset that implements the function using the MobiFlight HubHop resource: https://hubhop.mobiflight.com/presets/. Looking at that, I can see OVHD ELEC BATTERY 1 TOGGLE preset which is listed for the FBW dev version of the A320. You can assign to that using the control 'Preset: OVHD ELEC BATTERY 1 TOGGLE'.

Guidance to configure trim for payware aircraft
John Dowson replied to Saffa_Jake's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
If writing to offset 0BC0 doesn't change the trim, then this implies that the aircraft does not respond to the Elevator Trim Set control/event. You could try with offset 0x2EA0 (Elevator Trim Position) instead. First monitor the offset and see if the values change when you adjust the trim, and if so you can try writing to that offset instead.. Otherwise, you could check if there are any lvars associated to the trim position. -
Guidance to configure trim for payware aircraft
John Dowson replied to Saffa_Jake's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
Offset 0x0BC0 will use the standard ELEVATOR TRIM SET control. What are the ' normal trim commands' that work for this aircraft? You should just ise the controls that work for that aircraft. Create a profile for the JF Bae 146 (check the 'profile specific?' check-box and assign your buttons to the controls that work for that aircraft. Try changing the trim and see what controls are logged - activate logging for Events and keep the console window open and see what is logged when you adjust the trim in the cockpit UI, and then assign to those (again, in a profile). You could also try logging the contents of offset 0x0BC0 (using FSUIPC's offset logging facilities) to see if this value changes (or not) when you do this, and what the values are for the various trim positions.

FSUIPC's SteeringTiller control blends rudder and tiller operation, with the amount of blending defined by the MaxSteerSpeed ini parameter (and also the RudderBlendLowest ini parameter) - see the Advanced User guide P11 for details. You could try adjusting this MaxSteerSpeed parameter. However, if you do not want any rudder/tiller blending at all, change your assignment to 'Send to FS as normal axis' and use P3Ds steering tiller control, rather than the one provided by FSUIPC that does this blending.

Ah, sorry - please ignore my post then...

I'm sorry but I cannot support MSFS, only FSUIPC7 with MSFS. I also use the steam version and don't really know the details of an MS store purchased version. I suggest you try the Asobo support forums. John

FSUIPC7 not recognising FBW A320.evt file
John Dowson replied to Jeane Treurnich's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
Are you sure that the event file is in your FSUIPC7 installation folder? Check that - if it is, it should also appear in the [EventFiles] section of your FSUIPC7.ini. Check that (but do not manually add it there -this section is managed by FSUIPC). If you don't know where your installation folder is, use the Open Installation Folder menu option from FSUIPC7's File menu. The events should appear at the top of the control menu drop-downs, preceded by a colon ':'. Note also that there is no need to use event files any more, as all these events can now be handled by presets. Check the MF HubHob resource (https://hubhop.mobiflight.com/) for the AP disconnect for the aircraft you are using. For the FBW A320, it is probably Autopilot_Disconnect_Push which you can assign to as Preset: Autopilot Disconnect Push without the need to use event files. John -
FSUIPC4 several simconnect errors
John Dowson replied to tod_hmm's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Can you attach your FSUIPC4 install.log please. Looks like you are running a steam version - have you installed the latest updates (not the latest beta)? The latest (non-beta) should be: fsx.exe version = 10.0.62615.0 whereas you are using: fsx.exe version = 10.0.62607.0 However, I think you should be ok if your version includes SP1, but you may as well update to the latest (non-beta) version of FSX, if possible.

Is this the WideClient.exe in the WideFS6 release? If so, that message is strange... There should be a WideClient that is compatible with windows XP (we think!). Pete will take a look and possibly post you a version to try - we cannot verify this here as neither of us have a win XP system anymore. John Later: Pete has amended his previous post with a version for you to try...

Is this a question about FSUIPC? If so, you have posted in the wrong forum (Feel There Airplanes) - please post in the FSUIPC (or FSUIPC7 forum) for FSUIPC support. You also don't say which Honeycomb product - the Alpha yoke or Bravo throttle? For the latter, I have already posted some basic assignements for this controller in this post: John

Click on the order number and that should show you the order details, including your registration details. You should also have received an email with these details to the email address used. John

FS2020 and FSUIPC character and input detection - rotary encoders
John Dowson replied to kooky45's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
No problem. Thanks, John -
Using Single Brake Lever
John Dowson replied to Kiwi 68's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
You can assign an axis to up to 4 separate controls - that is why there are four controls drop-down menus with check-coxes to activate them. Just activate the second control menu and select RightBrake there. John -
FSUIPC6 v6.0.11 Setup
John Dowson replied to yindengxie's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
I do not know what you mean by FSUIPC6a. The latest installer can always be downloaded from http://www.fsuipc.com and from the Download links -> Updated Modules section in this forum: John -
Is this your MSFS Community folder: C:\Users\andre\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community\ ? If so, can you check the FSUIPC WASM manifest file: C:\Users\andre\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community\fsuipc-lvar-module\modules\manifest.json It should look like this: { "dependencies": [], "content_type": "MISC", "title": "FSUIPC7 WASM Event Module", "manufacturer": "John L. Dowson", "creator": "John L. Dowson", "package_version": "0.5.8", "minimum_game_version": "12.13.0", "release_notes": { "neutral": { "LastUpdate": "11/04/2022", "OlderHistory": "" } } } If it doesn't look like that, try downloading 7.3.3 again and re-installing. Maybe I updated this after the initial release - was a while ago now and can't remember... John

This was added in v7.3.0 and is included in the latest offset documentation: John

Issue with FSUIPC 6.1.8 and prosim
John Dowson replied to Driver170's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
This issue is caused by bulk writing to an offset area when some of the offsets are not in the offset table. ProSim is bulk writing the payload data including the position data, which don't exist in the (internal) offset table for P3D. This error was introduced in 6.1.8. This should be fixed in the attached version, v6.1.9a, if you would like to try: FSUIPC6.dll John -
FSUIPC In/Out Different in Joystick Calibration
John Dowson replied to TheAlphaFlyer's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
Try moving the throttle in the UI to see what throttle controls it is using - activate logging for axis controls (in FSUIPC) and open the logging console, and see what, if anything, is logged when you move the throttle. Also, check to see if there is any type of throttle configuration necessary for the aircraft (in the aircraft documentation) - some MSFS aircraft require this (e.g. the FBW A320). Otherwise, try asking on Just Flight support or check their forums. John -
FSUIPC6 v6.0.11 Setup
John Dowson replied to yindengxie's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Only the latest version of FSUIPC is supported. v6.0.11 is quite old now - please update to the latest version before requesting support, which is v6.1.8. Be aware that you also need to run P3D at least once after installation, before you install FSUIPC6. John
