  1. There are no throttle controls logged in the attached log - its mainly left/right brake and prop pitch1 (ex1). I see you are also using the Just Flight 146. This may not be using the standard throttle controls? If its using the Ex1 throttle controls, you can assign to these by selecting 'Send to FS as normal axis', Try moving the throttle in the UI to see what throttle controls it is using (i.e. what control is logged) and switch to using those - you should do this in a specific profile for that aircraft. The assignments and calibration look ok. If you want check these, try switching to another aircraft first and test them with one that definitely uses these throttle controls, such as the Baron G58. John
  2. I cannot tell what is happening from those screenshots... Could you show me (attach) your FSUIPC7.ini and FSUIPC7.log files. For the log, please enable logging for axis controls, load your aircraft and move your throttle axis/axes through their full range (forward then back) and then exit (do not start a new log file!). If the log file is too large to attach, you can zip/compress it. John
  3. I will update tomorrow (or maybe Tuesday)...
  4. It should be "L:EmbApFlchClick" and not "L=EmbApFlchClick" - i.e. a colon after the L. You can use any offset that is free for general use - that is the whole point of them... What is this section in your FSUIPC6.ini for: There is no such section in FSUIPC6 (and the format is wrong for FSUIPC7). Please remove that. Your version of FSUIPC6 is also out-of-date - you are still using 6.0.9 and the latest version is 6.1.8 - please update as only the latest version is supported. John
  5. This should be set as default. No. All folders/files are created by FSUIPC, you do not need to create anything. And profiles in separate files are only used when you set UseProfiles=Files Please see the document Profiles in Separate Files.pdf. Each profile will have an entry [Profile.xxx] where xxx is the name of the profile. Again, you do not create this - FSUIPC creates this for you when you create a new profile. In this section are the aircraft names that use the profile. You can have many aircraft using the same profile (and you should name your profile accordingly, e.g. TwinProp), but many aircraft (more so in MSFS than in previous FSs) will require their own profile, especially if using lvarsm hvars or presets/calculator code. Yes - this is also added automatically when you create the profile or add an aircraft to an existing profile. No - when you create a profile (or add an aircraft to a profile) the full aircraft title will be used. To match other liveries, you should edit the aircraft title (in this line in the FSUIPC ini file) to be a substring match to the title of the aircraft so that it matches different liveries. Otherwise you would have to add the aircraft again when using a new livery as the title would not match. There is also a new ini parameter called UseAirLocForProfiles which, when set, will use the folder name of the aircraft.cfg file for matching aircraft to profiles, which should catch most (if not all) aircraft when using different liveries. Please see the section on profiles in the User Guide, as well as the Advanced User guide for a description of the UseAirLocForProfiles parameter. John
  6. Yes, this is what you reported. I was just suggesting to try 6.1.8 again to confirm. The problem only seems to occur in the latest ProSim beta as well, which also indicates its not an FSUIPC issue. Anyway, talked to Pete about this - he is aware of this issue and will check later next week.
  7. I'm not sure about that - there are very few changes between 6.1.7 and 6.1.8 - only the following: - Bug fixed that prevented assignments to buttons with numbers 64 – 95 from being triggered - New functionality to allow the user to add any simvar to a free FSUIPC offset Looking at that link, this was your issue: I'm not sure how this can have anything to do with FSUIPC... Can you try 6.1.8 again to confirm please. As I don't have/use Prosim, I'm not sure what I can do. I'll see if @Pete Dowson can check this as he uses the ProSim 737 (probably later next week, after the Bank Holiday). John
  8. Not for me - there is nothing I can do about this - it is (obviously?) an MSFS issue, and nothing to do with FSUIPC. I really don't understand how add-ons in the Community folder can affect the functionality provided by the EXE.xml file. I suggest you raise a bug with MSFS/Asobo and report your findings there, as it is they who need to look into this. Cheers, John
  9. I have nothing more to say on this matter that hasn't been said already. If auto-start via the EXE.xml isn't working, just use the MSFS.bat method to start FSUIPC7 or start it manually.
  10. So try 0x6B (or 107) for +, and 0x6D (or 109) for -. John
  11. No sorry, I was mistaken in this. I added support to send left/right ctrl & shift, but not for assignments. This was implemented to support assigning button/switch assignments to key presses assigned in MSFS (as some controls only work in MSFS, such as camera controls). It will be very difficult to add support for left/right shift/ctrl/alt as currently I only allow 1 byte (8 bits) to handle the modifier key, and 7 bits are already taken/used - from the User manual: So you can only have a maximum of 1024 key assignments. There are around 80 (rough guess) non-modifier key codes, so with the 6 (or maybe 5) modifiers currently provided, that allows for around 480/400 distinct assignments. Do you really need more than this? Another issue with switching to left/right modifiers would be in handling existing assignments, which I would need to think about... So, all-in-all, I don't think this is going to happen, at least any time soon. It will be a lot of work for little benefit, as far as I can see. There is a lot more additional functionality that would be more useful for most folks, so I won't be considering this for the time being. Sorry about that. Regards, John
  12. I do not understand the term sketch in your question, but please read the document FSUIPC Lua Plug-Ins.pdf (which will be in your FSUIPC documents folder, under your Windows Documents folder). Extensive documentation is provided so that I don't spend all day responding to such questions - please check the documentation (and existing support requests - most questions have been asked before...) before requesting support. John
  13. Why are you asking about FSUIPC7 auto-start in a thread that is titled 'WideFS failed to connect'. There are now numerous threads about FSUIPC7 not auto-starting with MSFS, and i have said everything I can on this topic. Please check the support forum for similar issues before posting. Please see: John
  14. That is because this is not relevant to auto-start. Check that you have not set FSUIPC7 to run as administrator, check your installation location, and check the permissions on the FSUIPC7 installation folder. Please see John
  15. Just tun the script only for the FBW A320. Are you using profiles? If not, you should, as this is the mechanism to have different assignments for different aircraft. You need to auto-start the lua from the profile [Auto.xxx] section (where xxx is the profile name) rather than the [Auto] section that will be used for all aircraft. If you do nor know what profiles are, please read the user manuals... John
  16. Then you have either assigned incorrectly or there is an issue with your hardware (possibly the axus are registered as digital on/off axis). Please attach your FSUIPC7.ini and a full FSUIPC7.log file. for the latter, you need axis logging activated, and with the aircraft loaded activate each toe brake through its full range and then exit - you can zip the log if it is too large to attach as-is. John
  17. Do you mean by sending a key press using the Key Press & Release / Key Press/hold & Key Release controls? If do, the parameter will be the windows virtual key code - see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/inputdev/virtual-key-codes For +/-: VK_ADD 0x6B Add key VK_SUBTRACT 0x6D Subtract key A link would have been useful! John
  18. I thought I had added support for this a while ago (except for alt - I think I removed this as using the alt key can cause issues), but I will check...
  19. No problem 👍
  20. Also a good idea to remove the comments from the delay/timeout line as MSFS takes such a long time to load: :: wait for MSFS to start (2mins) timeout /t %delay% /nobreak > NUL John
  21. Its an issue due to the interaction with OneDrive in windows 11 (and maybe other cloud-syncing services). Yes, I don't doubt it. What surprises me is that this issue seems to be happening when an FSUIPC7 folder is created outside of a windows protected folder for some people. I guess this can still be due to permissions based upon individual users condifurations, but such things are difficult for me to diagnose... Yes, seems ok here as well (although I have had an occasional CTD...). Thanks for your input. Regards, John
  22. You should only need one profile for all FBW liveries. Check you are using substring matching to the aircraft (not based upon the livery). You can also switch to using the aircraft.cfg folder name for matching profiles using the UseAirLocForProfiles ini parameter. John
  23. This isn't possible with the current implementation as all lvars are passed from the WASM to FSUIPC7 as a list/array, with the position being the if of the lvar. If I don't pass all lvars, I would also have to pass the lvar ids. This would be a major change which I certainly won't be considering at the moment. I could do this. I am having a break from new development at the moment to catch-up on other things, but I will add another CDA (or 2) for lvars in a future release, maybe in a month or so. There are a few other things to consider/try. Lvars are loaded for many aircraft that are in your community folder even if not being used. which can reduce the number of lvars available for the aircraft that you are actually using. Try clearing your Community folder to contain only the items you are using for each flight. Many people use the MSFS Add-on Manager (a free utility) to do this. Also, even if lvars are not known to FSUIPC7, they can still be used in Presets (or in calculator code). So you can create presets to use the lvars which are out of the 2044 range. However, you cannot get the value of such lvars (or add them to FSUIPC offsets). You can, in the preset calculator code, check the value of the lvar and change it or send a control based upon the value (as many of the MF presets do). John
  24. Did you remove the comments so that the bat file starts FSUIPC7? I cannot see how that fails to start FSUIPC7...it is just a standard bat command to start an executable... Are you using an MS Store installed MSFS or a Steam version? I'm on Steam and have no issues here. If it was an issue with SU9, I would have expected a lot more reports of this issue.
  25. Sorry, seems you have already tried that... If the FBW A320 spoofing script isn't running, I have no idea why this is not working. Show me your FSUIPC7.ini and a log file generated with logging for Events activated and also logging offset 0x0bc8 where you activate and de-activate the parking brake. John
