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

Disable all controller input whilst in autopilot
John Dowson replied to Adamski's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
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.
-
Why have you reported this again? I have already responded with various questions which you have not responded to. Is FSUIPC7 running? If not, try running it. If your problem is with FSUIPC7 not auto-starting, please see the other thread you posted in about this. If FSUIPC7 is running, what sure that it is running at the same priority level as VAMSYS. Otherwise, please ask VAMSYS support about this - I know nothing about this program. This is confusing...I cannot advise you how to run VAMSYS. This is FSUIPC support. Do you have MSFS installed with Steam and also with MS Store on the same computer? I didn't think that was possible, but if that is the case then the FSUIPC7 auto-start component will only be installed in the Steam version. You will have to manually create or amend your EXE.xml file in the MS Store version (or copy the Steam EXE.xml to the location for this in MS Store).
-
When you say 'unmodified, original as you attached', what do you mean? I haven't attached anything... Do you mean the one installed, unmodified? If so, then I don't understand this at all, as all the batch file does is display a splash screen and the start MSFS in the same way as it starts when you start it 'directly'. Do you have an MSFS Store or steam version? What is the location of your EXE.xml file? I did ask for your InstallFSUIPC7.log file (and not the FSUIPC7.log file), which would tell me this... Other than that, your EXE.xml looks ok, although the SimBase.Document version is '1.0' and not '1,0' (which is what the FSUIPC7 installer would use), but this shouldn't make a difference. John

Hmm, yes - strange... Glad its now working. John

Help with throttle assignment in A320 FBW mod
John Dowson replied to target11's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
Just replied to that one! Back from a weekend away and just catching up... John -
Switch the inc/dec button numbers, so change: to Rather than using the Heading Bug control, switch to using offset 0x07CC (Autopilot heading value) with the Offset Sword increment decrement controls, where you can specify the inc/dec value that works for you. This is explained earlier in this thread... This is also how your elevator trim is configured, so take a look at that to see how this assignment is made. Again, if the speed is too slow, switch to using the relevant offset instead - check the offset status document to get the right offset. You can log the offsets (using the Log -> Offsets menu item) to see how the values change using the current settings, and to confirm the offset to use. Use the correct (inc or dec) control to get the right direction. John

Also check that is the actual folder being used - use the File -> Open Installation Folder menu option to confirm. John

Help with throttle assignment in A320 FBW mod
John Dowson replied to target11's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
You need to specify that this is a multiplication, so change: to Also, your profile will only match when using the EasyJet livery. To match all versions of the A320neo, change: to John -
Hi John, The ini file should update each time you run FSUIPC7. If its not updating, this is usually due to being installed in a windows protected folder, such as under your Documents or Program Files folder. If this is the case, re-install into a different location. You can skip registration, but remember to copy/move across your FSUIPC7.key, FSUIPC7.ini and any *.mcro, *.lua, *.dll files that you use to the new installation location. John
-
If you still have issues with this, attach your EXE.xml and InstallFSUIPC7.log and I will take a look. That shouldn't affect the auto-start. John
-
As the directory name contains spaces, you need to use quotes, i.e. runif1=READY,KILL,"C:\Program Files\IOCards\iocard.exe" Changes were made as there were issues when using command line arguments to programs that were startted by FSUIPC. Can't remember the version for these changes (but quite a while ago now) - check the changes file or the history document. John

Disable all controller input whilst in autopilot
John Dowson replied to Adamski's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
Hi Adamski, I can take a look later in the week. I'm away from home at the moment and will be travelling/busy for the next few days, but I'll review this when I'm back. John -
I have no idea what 'VAMSYS Austrian' is, or what you mean by 'does not work', but if your issue is with that program, then you need to contact them to resolve your issue (as I already said in the other post where you reported the same issue - please don't do this!). Also please check what version of FSUIPC7 you are using. The latest (and only supported) version is v7.3.3. FSUIPC7 should be auto-started via the MSFS EXE.xml file, in both the MS Store and Steam versions. The included batch file (which you pasted some contents of in your question) has not been used to start FSUIPC7 for quite some time (over a year) and is now only used to display a splash screen while MSFS is starting. MSFS then starts FSUIPC7 via the EXE.xml file (if you selected to install the auto-start component during the FSUIPC7 installation process). If you want further help, please provide more information. Is FSUIPC7 running? Is it connected to MSFS? What exactly is your issue? What error message do you see, and where is the error message from? Also note that if VAMSYS is an FSUIPC client program, it needs to be ran at the same privilege level as FSUIPC7, otherwise it will not be able to connect. John

I'm sorry, but this still doesn't make sense - you assign an axis to an axis control (left hand side of axis assignments box) and you can also assign to send non-axis controls when the axis goes in/out of a particular range using the right-hand side of the axis assignments dialog. You cannot assign part of an axis range to one control and another range to a different control via axis assignments. if that is what you want to do, you need to use a lua script. What actual controls the RPM - is it the prop pitch 1/2 control or the throttle control? You can try logging axis events and see what controls logged when you adjust the RPM via the UI. What helicopter are you using? I'm away from my sim rig at the moment but can take a look when I'm back later in the week. Maybe also attach you FSUIPC4.ini so I can see your actual assignments. John
-
What do you mean by this? Do you mean that FSUIPC7 cannot connect to MSFS? If you are having problems with FSUIPC7, please show me (attach) your FSUIPC7.log file. If you are having issues with installation, show me your InstallFSUIPC7.log file. If your issue is with VAMSYS, then you need their support. John

I copy my response from your other psot with the same question: FSUIPC6 will create a default FSUIPC6.ini file if non is found in its installation folder when ran, and as you need FSUIPC running before starting LINDA, I can't see how you can get such a message... The FSUIPC6.ini file will be in your FSUIPC6 installation folder, which is not necessarily the same folder as your add-on.xml file, in fact I strongly recommend that you don't install FSUIPC6 in this folder. To check your installation location, use the Open Folder button in the FSUIPC6 logging tab. I suggest you read the Installation and Registration guide which explains the different folder locations. You have probably copied the Linda file to the wrong location, so check that. But for Linda issues, you should contact Linda support. John

@Demoulin You posted in the FSUIPC7 support forum - please use the maim support forum for FSUIPC6 issues. FSUIPC6 will create a default FSUIPC6.ini file if non is found in its installation folder when ran, and as you need FSUIPC running before starting LINDA, I can't see how you can get such a message...

Sorry, forgot to update the WASM - it is done now. Also, the latest WAPI version is 0.5.7, so you should update that. If using FSUIPC7, just download and install V7.3.3 which alsocontains the latest WASM. John
-
Sorry, but not having this aircraft I cannot really advise - maybe some other FSUIPC7 users who have this aircraft can help. All I can suggest is, first, try activating logging for events (and maybe later axis controls) to see if anything is logged when you change the state of the cut-off valve in the cockpit UI. if anything is logged, then you can try assigning to that. Otherwise, maybe try the Toggle Fuel Valve control or Fuelsystem Valve Toggle control, or list the lvars and see if any look relevant, and see if the value changes when you change the state via the UI. If there is an lvar that does this, you can then add that to an offset and assign to change the offset value (which will change the associated lvar). John

Please update to the latest version of FSUIPC7, which is v7.3.3. Only the latest version is supported. Your log shows FSUIPC7 exited normally as MSFS was no longer available, so it is MSFS that crashed not FSUIPC7. You will get an exception/fault (not a crash) in the Event viewer for FSUIPC7 if MSFS crashes - this is normal. You should see an event for the MSFS crash before that. If you have read through a fair amount of posts, then you should know that I cannot help with MSFS crashes. Check one of the many other posts on this for further information - I am not going to go into details any more on MSFS crashes. Try the Asobo forums and/or raise a bug report with Asobo. John

FSUIPC 7.3.3 suddendly close inflight session
John Dowson replied to cvitre23's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
You are using windows 11, so so you need to set DisableMSFSMonitor=Enum in the [General] section of your FSUIPC7.ini file. Please see the provided README.txt (included in the FSUIPC zip file you downloaded) under Problems running FSUIPC7: John
