Those all look good! Looks like you also have MSFS installed. Is everything now working ok? Looks like you haven't connected your Logitech G13 Joystick though. Are you not planning to use this?

Increase baro adjustment speed (MSFS2020)
John Dowson replied to TwoSuits's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
No time wasted - glad you got it sorted. John -
Well, as I said, you should just gave checked if the lvar was available and that its value changes as appropriate. Please remember this as it is always the first thing to try when using lvars. John
-
As I said, check the lvar is available in whatever version you are using, and check that the lvar value changes when the parking brake is engaged or disengaged. The script depends on that lvar being available and working. I haven't checked this for many months, things may have changed. I will also take a look when I get a chanve. John

Thrustmaster Boeing TCA Quadrant add on
John Dowson replied to jkeye's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
His settings were included in the post: If you would like clarification from the OP, try notifying him directly (using @jkeye). John -
If you have already purchased WideFS7 with FSUIPC4 (WideFS7 is the only WideFS version compatible with FSUIPC4), then you do not need to repurchase - just use the license you have. The bundle offer has (and has always) been for FSUIPC4 + WideFS7, so if you did purchase that you will already have a WideFS7 license. I should really also make the same bundle offer for FSUIPC6 + WideFS7, and FSUIPC7 + WideFS7. I will look into this. John

Increase baro adjustment speed (MSFS2020)
John Dowson replied to TwoSuits's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
The standard method of doing this when no fast controls are available, is to use offsets. The Kohlsman setting is held in offset 0x0330 as a 2-byte integer (also 0x0332). You can assign to the control Offset Uword Increment/Decrement control, specifying the inc/dec value you wish to use. Try logging the offset first and manually changing the baro setting to see what sort of in/dec value you need. -
What do you mean by the 'default' FBW - are you using the stable or development version? If the former, try the latter. This was previously only tested on the dev version. The MobiFlight hubhop preset list (https://hubhop.mobiflight.com/#/list) lists this lvar as belonging to the A320-SDKm so not sure which versions it is available in (but I would have thought both, but maybe this is not the case). Your log shows that the lvar read is not changing value. Can you try listing the available lvars, using the Add-Ons->WASM->List Lvars menu item. Can you see the lvar there? If so, try changing setting and clearing the parking break to see if this changes value. Check in both the stable and dev versions. John

Are you sure? If you are using it with FSUIPC4, it must be WideFS7. Anyway, check your SimMarket account. Regards, John

Not exactly. If you want to run 2 copies of MSFS at the same time, you would need 2 licenses. BUT, these would be independent, i.e. what is happening on one version of MSFS has nothing to do with what is happening on the other - they are not connected. You probably want something like WideView - see https://www.wideview.it/ John
-
If you only have one MSFS license, you can only run one copy of MSFS at a time. I guess if you have two license you could run two copies, but they would be independent. I am not sure what those programs are that you want to run on a second computer. If they are FSUIPC client applications, then you can achieve this by using WideFS7, or also now by running FSUIPC7 on the second (client) computer to provide WideFS-like (or light!) functionality. To do this, see Otherwise, if your applications are SimConnect based, then it should be possible to run them by setting-up a networked SimConnect connection, as shown in that link above (for FSUIPC7).

Hi Andrew, Do you really have > 400 hvars for the aircraft you have loaded (FBW A320?)? If you have any updated hvar files, could you share them so that I can include in the FSUIPC7 installation package? The ones currently included have not been updated for quite a while and are surly quite out if date... John
-
As I said, it has always been this way - nothing has changed. Please re-read my previous response...I said I would look into changing this the next time I update the WAPI. Or is this something that you cannot live without? Later: I seem to get them listed in id order anyway:

MSFS2020 / FSUIPC7 - how to know if the simulator is in 'Pause' state
John Dowson replied to paulsk's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
You can check the pause state in offset 0x0264: Note that MSFS can be in multiple pause states. Also, Offset 0x062B can be used to determine if MSFS in the main menu or not. John -
That must have always been the case...although I thought they were sorted alphabetically in the main window, but checking the code, that is just for lvars. The WAPI getHvarList function returns an unordered map, which is why there is no order. I can change this the next time I update the WAPI if you like, but not for the next release. You can check the FSUIPC7.log file if you want them sorted by id, as they should also be logged there but in id order. John
-
Btw, this will only work if the folder names for the various liveries share a common base (which hopefully should be the case...) that you can use for the hvar file name. So, for example, for the FBW A320 I have the following folders: _FlyByWire_A320_NEO-LIVERY-XMAS FlyByWire_A320_NEO FlyByWire_A320_NEO-LIVERY A hvar file named FlyByWire_A320_NEO.hvar would match all 3. John
-
Please try the attached. To use the air file folder for hvar matching, you need to set the following ini parameter in your FSUIPC_WASM.ini (better to set this in the ini file in the WASM local storage area, not in the one under your Community\fsuipc-lvar-module folder): UseAirLocForHvars=Yes John FSUIPC7.exe FSUIPC7_WASM.wasm layout.json

HOW TO ACTIVATE IAS BUTTON IN HONEYCOMB BRAVO?
John Dowson replied to Ferota's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
This depends on what aircraft/auto-pilot system you are using. You can try the standard controls: Flight Level Change AP Airspeed Hold Ap Airspeed On Ap Airspeed Off Ap Airspeed Set For some aircraft, you would need to use lvars.hvars or calculator code. For example: Working Title CJ4: use hvar H:WT_CJ4_AP_FLC_PRESSED Asobo Cesna 172: use calculator code (>K:FLIGHT_LEVEL_CHANGE) (A:AIRSPEED INDICATED, knots) (>K:AP_SPD_VAR_SET) etc A good resource to determine what to use, if the standard controls/events don't do what you want, is the MobiFlight preset list: https://hubhop.mobiflight.com/#/list If you are not familiar with lvars/hvars/calculator code, it may be easier to install the MobiFlight WASM module and use the provided MobiFlight event files, which are located under the EventFiles folder of your FSUIPC7 installation. There is an event file there to use with the G1000 (called G1000.rvt), which has the event: MobiFlight.AS1000_MFD_FLC_Push which may be appropriate. This MobiFlight preset is mapped to the calculator code shown above for the C172. Also, a hvar file for the G1000 is also provided in the HvarFiles folder of your FSUIPC7 installation, although I cannot see anything specific in that file for the FLC button. To use hvar files, please see the provided documentation (Advanced User Guide). John -
You will have to purchase FSUIPC6 as it is a different product. If you have already purchased FSUIPC4, you should automatically get a discount of 5euros on checkout. If you have already purchased FSUIPC5, you should get a discount of 20euros. If you already have WideFS6, you can continue using that as it is compatible with FSUIPC4, FSUIPC5, FSUIPC6 & FSUIPC7. John P.S. I have only just added the 5euro discount so you may need to wait a while before it is approved by SimMarket and available. This wasn't added before as this product was still with Pete until very recently.
-
I think I'll look into updating the WASM to allow hvar files to be loaded in the same way (and via an ini parameter). May as well get this out of the way before I look into other things... I'll post the updated WASM here when done.
-
There was one change in that version that I'm not sure of, although it seemed ok in my tests. However, I've decided to revert that in the attached version, v7.2.15d. In this version I have also added code to stop the WAPI when going back into the MSFS menu system. Not sure why that wasn't done before.... FSUIPC7.exe
-
Do you mean 7.2.15b? Don't think I have got as far as d yet... Anyway, that will be in the next release, hopefully in the next few days. Just looking at using the air folder name for profiles (not for hvar access!) as I thought this should be relatively straightforward... but there are some complications due to the different timings when receiving the aircraft name and the air file location and the various different actions that are done on each (e.g. starting lua autos). Hopefully I have fixed this now, so could you try the attached version, v7.2.15c. To use this new feature, you need to add the following to the [General] section of your FSUIPC7.ini file: UseAirLocForProfiles=Yes I suggest that once you have done this, keep your existing profiles and load each aircraft (for which you have a profile), then go into one of the assignments panels and check for profiles and select your existing profile for that a/c, then click 'Ok'. This should add the air file folder to your profile section. Once you have done this, you can then remove the other aircraft names from the profile if you so wish. John FSUIPC7.exe

I am not considering an option for improving the hvar assignment (at the moment), just the profile assignment. I thought that this was the main update that you are requesting. An update for hvars is possible, but this is more work as the WASM has no access to FSUIPC offsets, and so no knowledge of the air file location. I can, of course, request this, but there are also other issues related to the timing of when various events are received which complicates things somewhat. But this does not restrict you from using hvar files with the other liveries. You just need to copy the hvar file and give it a substring match (or just the complete aircraft name) for the aircraft with the livery loaded. For the example you gave: You would need one hvar file for the FBW A320: A320neo.hvar And 2 for the Asobo A320: A320 Neo Asobo.hvar, OperatorLand468.hvar I would think it is also possible to just use one hvar file, and use appropriately named links/shortcuts for the other names that point to the original file, although i haven't tried this. I can look into using the air folder name to also match on hvar file names, but not sure when I can do this at the moment. I will add it to my feature request list to be looked into. John

RAW data usage for axis
John Dowson replied to SebastianP's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
If you look in the axis assignment dialog you will see a Raw checkbox - just tick that. Please see the description if this option on P36 of the User Guide. However, before doing that, please check the calibration of that axis both in windows (game controllers) and in FSUIPC. Also, check your throttle documentation (which throttle are you using?) - some throttles have specific calibration or software set-up that needs to be done before it can be used correctly. You can also post your FSUIPC log file and I can take a look to see if anything looks amiss. Would also be useful if you would let me know which FS and FSUIPC version you are using. John -
Could you add the following to the [General] section of your FSUIPC7.INI file, generate another log and post that: Debug=Please LogExtras=x200000 We will try removing all device registry entries + drivers, then adding them back one by one, checking the files each time. Btw, did you try checking the ports/hubs used and switching your G13/rudder to a different port/hub?
