What happens when you run the uninstaller? If it produces an UninstallFSUIPC6.log file, then please show/attach that. Have you tried re-installing FSUIPC6? Download and run the latest installer - this will first try and uninstall FSUIPC6 (using the uninstaller). Do that and show me the installation log if there are any issues. Also not that FSUIPC6 is an embedded dll with P3Dv4/5, so you need P3D running. So after installing, run P3D and see if FSUIPC is running. John

Ok - so it was auto-starting...when it starts you should see the FSUIPC7 splash screen and then it is iconised to your system tray. Alt+F is the (default) hot-key which opens the FSUIPC7 main window - you can also do this from the system tray icon by double-clicking or using the left-click context menu. Please see the provided documentation (which will be installed under your Windows Documents folder) - as well as the README.txt which is only available in the downloaded zip file. John

@Chad P Did you resolve your issue? Just took a look at the FBW A320 (dev version) and assigning 'Direct to FSUIPC Calibration' to LeftBrake and RightBrake (and calibrating) seems to work as expected. I also tried with the experimental version, and the same assignments also work in that version. John

You should have received an email with your registration details, and they are also available under "Your Orders" and "Purchase History" of your SimMarket account. I will also PM then to you now... John

What do you mean by this? Did you follow the instructions in the README.txt for this issue? If not, please do that. And see this post (and onwards) as this issue has already been reported: So, check your EXE.xml. If that is correct and FSUIPC7 isn't starting, then you will have to revert to the old way of starting FSUIPC7, which is via the MSFS.bat file. Instructions on how to do this are given in that topic (above). John

If you click 'Yes' to run the software, does FSX run ok with FSUIPC also running or does it crash? Does the window display again the next time you run FSX? I can't really add more to what has already been said on this issue - please see the following: John

Flight saving/loading seems rather flakey - sometimes it seems to work, other times not, and I have also experienced some CTDs when trying to load a flight. I will check further next week - some of the flt files I am trying to load are probably created by older versions of the SDK, which may no longer be valid. However, as FSUIPC just calls the MSFS SDK functions to load & save flights, there isn't much I can do about this, except report any issues to Asobo. I think this may also depend on your MSFS settings. For example, I'm not sure how live weather (and AI) affect flight loading. John

What do you mean? Copy/paste your key details - all 3 parts (Name, address, key) - from your SimMarket purchase email or account. If you still have issues, let me know your order number (do NOT post your key details) and I will check them here. Almost every time this is reported, it is due to user error... John

I have only just seen this as you posted in the wrong sub-forum. I have moved your post to the correct place. Why do you have 3 different key codes? Please see your SimMarket account for your FSUIPC4 registration details. No success installing or in registering? If you have problems with installing, please show me your installation log file. For registration issues, check you are using the correct details for name, address and key (all 3 fields) as in your SimMarket account. If using a new PC, also check that you have the required VC++ redistributables installed - download and install the latest combined package from Microsoft if in doubt. John

Ah. Sorry, missed this. I don't know where you got them from, but they certainly don't look correct. With MSFS2020, many settings are aircraft specific, don't blindly copy settings for other aircraft and Flight Simulator software.... John

Latest version is v7.3.3. Please update. What aircraft are you using? MSFS aircraft, especially add-ons and more complex aircraft, do not use standard controls and you need to look into other methods of control, such as lvars, hvars, calculator code and presets (which also use calculator code). A could resource to check is the MobiFlight HubHop page: https://hubhop.mobiflight.com/#/list. Your assignments don't make sense. An axis needs to be assigned first to an axis control using the left hand side of the axis assignment panel. The right hand side of the axis assignment will only trigger a control when the axis moves in or out of the range specified. Inc/dec controls are for use on buttons (or a rotary control that fires one or two buttons in each direction) and shouldn't really be used for axis assignments. At the moment you can't assign an axis directly to the heading axis controls Heading Bug Set or AP Panel Heading Set. I could allow this (I will check this), but for now If you wand to use an axis to set the heading, you would need to send the axis value to an offset (most probably 0x07CC or 0x07CE). You (probably) would need to calibrate the axis value to the range accepted/used by the offset as well, using the facility Additional parameters to scale input axis values (see p41 of Advanced User guide). I suggest you take a look at the documentation (user guide and advanced user guide) and maybe also search for similar posts in this forum. If you require further assistance, please state the aircraft (including any mod) that you are using. Also, please attach your FSUIPC7.ini file so that I can see your assignments, rather than pictures. John

It shouldn't be painful...if you just download and run the installer and accept the defaults, it should update without issues and only takes a minute.... John

This has been corrected in the latest version, v7.3.3. Please update. John

Usually if you accept to trust and run the dll it should load automatically and subsequent runs. However, if it doesn't for some reason, please see the following FAQ entry: John

There is a hvar file for the B747 included under the HvarFiles folder if your FSUIPC7 installation folder. This was generated quite some time ago now so it may not contain all available hvars, but you could use that as a starting poinr and add any that you use that are currently missing. Yes. There is currently a MobiFlight request to provide access to all sych variables - you should vote for this: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/enhanced-api-to-access-all-aircraft-state-and-trigger-all-cockpit-functions/454608 You can use offset 0x3110 to send any control, including custom controls and presets. Add-on control 1070 (Key Press and Release), 1071 (Key Press/Hold) and 1072 (Key Release) can be used to send keypresses using this offset. You can also set lvars, activate hvars and call presets using offset 0x7C50. Offset 0x3200 can also be used to send key presses. Also, check the MoviFlight preset lust for the B747 if you haven't done this already (https://hubhop.mobiflight.com/#/list). John

Yes, this is now quite usual with MSFS aircraft, especially airliners and the FBW A320... The logging shows that it is using the standard Axis Left/Right Brake Set control, so that should be working... However, the parameter logged for that control doesn't vary much - just 12840 and 12839, and both always the same, which us unusual - very difficult to apply the same pressure to each, even via the UI... I'll take a look later (or more probably tomorrow now), but in the stable or dev version of the FBW A320. I am not going to switch to the experimental - and I suggest you always try with the stable or dev if having problems with the experimental. One thing you could also try is to do the same test, but using your toe brakes. Use each one individually through its full range, and see what parameter is logged as you do this. You can report what you see (no need to attach the log) if it looks strange, and maybe also attach your FSUIPC7.ini so I can see your configuration. John

Which aircraft are you using? If its a default one or an add-on that I have then I can check here for you. Otherwise, you can try logging axis controls, operate the toe brakes in the UI and see if anything is logged in the FSUIPC7 console window - if you open the console window you can see what is logged as you activate the toe brakes in real-time. John

If you add the lvars to offsets, you could use the Offset monitoring facility to log the lvar changes (to the console or MSFS title bar). As the simconnect text display facility seems to be permanently broken, I am considering changing this to allow logging to be displayed in a wnd window. I could also look into adding specific lvar logging - I will add this to my list of new features to look into. You can use hvars via executing calculator code or via presets (which are also executed as calculator code), but such hvars are not known to FSUIPC7. The only way to make them known, and so have them listed, is via the *.hvar files. But there is no need to do this, except if you want to be able to list them or use them via macros or the lua ipc hvar functions. John

I will look into adding a 'Force Main Window to Top' option to see if this helps, as you can do with the logging console window. John

Nothing at all has changed w.r.t. the hot key. The first Alt-F will show the window, bring it to the top and remove the tray icon. It most probably disappears behind MSFS as that is then requesting to be on top. The second Alt-F will hide MSFS again to the system tray. The third Alt-F will again show the window and bring it to the top. For me, the MSFS main window will never show on top of the MSFS main window - it is always obscured unless I actually select the window itself. I'm not sure why this is, and I don't think there is anything that can be done as I am already requesting that the window be on top when its shown, but it looks like MSFS is overriding this somehow. I'm surprised ou see the window on the third Alt-F - I don't. As I said, nothing has changed in this area and I don't think there is anything I can do, but I will take another look at some point. Hvars are loaded from *.hvar files based upon a match with the aircraft name (or possibly the aircraft.cfg folder name), and the *.hvar files must be in one of two distinct locations. Please see the Advanced User guide and check that you have the correct hvar file in the correct location and the name is a substring match to the aircraft name. If you have any difficulties, activate debug logging in the WASM and take a look at the WASM log - this should tell you what hvar files have been found and which ones match and are loaded. Also, rather than using hvar files, you can just create a preset to activate a hvar instead, using the myevents.txt file. This has the advantage of being directly assignable (in the assignments UI) and the hvar names do not need to be made known to FSUIPC7 via the hvar files to be used. Also see the Advanced User guide for details. John

Change to The first one removes the comments for the delay, the second from the line that starts FSUIPC7. I would have thought this obvious from the comments...and also explained in several other posts... John

Best to create a new post/topic in the User Contributions section (with an appropriate title. Looks ok to me. One thing you should be aware of (and maybe update your comments on this in the lua file) is the size and positioning if the wnd window being displayed. The size/position you provide in the wnd.open call will only be used the first time the script is ran, so if you change these after the first run the new size/position will be ignored, as this will be taken from the [ExtWindow] section of the FSUIPC7.ini. The size/position can be changed there, or you can use the arrow keys to move the wnd window (when it has the focus) and the ctrl+arrow keys to resize. John

Neither do I!

Your EXE.xml and installation log look fine (for an MS Store installation). If MSFS is not auto-starting FSUIPC7, I do not know why. All I can suggest us that you go back to the old method of starting FSUIPC7 which is via the batch file itself. Open the MSFS.bat file (in your FSUIPC7 installation folder) and enable the line that starts FSUIPC7 as well as the delay/timeout line (by removing the comment characters '::' at the beginning of the line). Check other posts I've made about this if you need further details. John

What doesn't work? Why haven't you answered any of my questions? Please respond: Your installation log looks ok - it is for a Steam installation of MSFS. You have also created a new topic for what maybe is the same issue, but I am confused by your posts. Please respond to my questions so that I cannot understand what your issue is.
