  1. Sorry Al, I was mistaken. They are the bit-oriented calibration flags: 2^3 (8) = Filter 2^4 (16) = Reverse 2^5 (32) = No Reverse Zone The delta values are in the axis assignments, as you rightly say. Yes, thanks, but far too short....! John
  2. Note that only one profile is ever used/loaded for the current aircraft. Pete's comment shows how you can load a different profile for the same aircraft, by giving the aircraft a 2nd name. The profile loaded will be dependent on the name of the aircraft that you load. John
  3. Could you both let me know: - what aircraft you have loaded - what other add-ons you are using - what windows version you are running - what video driver you are using This is to try and determine what is common between your systems that may be the culprit. Could you also try setting the following ini parameter in the [General] section of your FSUIPC6.ini file to see if this makes a difference: UseDialogMode=No If you already have that set, try removing it. John
  4. Have you followed the instructions in the Installation and Registration guide, under Invalid Key Problems? If not, please do that. If you still have issues after that, try manually creating your key file - see If that doesn't work, please let me know your order number and I will check it here. Also, before posting, can you please: 1. First check the documentation 2. Search the forum for similar issues - most questions have been asked before John
  5. I have other ideas planned to allow parameterized calculator code to be used. Unfortunately, at the moment all my time is being taken by support (and keeping up with MSFS and P3D releases) and I have very little, if any, spare time at the moment to look into this. Hopefully I will get a chance to investigate this later this year. For the time being, you can achieve what you propose relatively easily using lua. If you write the axis value to an FSUIPC offset ('Send to FSUIPC Offset' checkbox), you can have a lua script that monitors that offset (using the event.offset function) and then in the handling function construct the calculator code string and use ipc.execCalcCode function to execute. John
  6. Please see the README.txt file (included in the zip file you downloaded). Instructions on this issue are provided there - you need to install (or re-install) the latest combined VC++ redistributable package. John
  7. The OP was referring to event files which are loaded by extension .evt and not matched to the aircraft name. Macro files are also loaded on extension .mcro and also not matched to the aircraft name. John
  8. What do you mean by this? If FSUIPC is closing as it cannot find MSFS, and you are on Windows 11, then please see the provided README.txt, Otherwise, please explain what your issue actually is and show me your FSUIPC7.log file. Connection to MSFS is the same in the unregistered and registered versions. If you purchased FSUIPC7, then you should register your details at the end of the installation process, If you have not purchased a license but would like to try the registered facilities, there is a time-limited key file available in a sticky post at the top of this forum. John
  9. I don't see how this can be.... Loading the default FBW I see the following aircraft name: 134000 Aircraft="Airbus A320neo FlyByWire Xmas" This will load the A320NX profile, NOT the A320 profile. If you think the wrong profile is being loaded, can you show me the Aircraft title, as logged by FSUIPC. When you load an aircraft with a new livery that is not currently assigned to any profile, it is up to the user to select the profile for the new livery (or create a new one) - this is not done automatically. Therefore it must have been the user' choice to assign the 'British Airways OperatorLand468 FBW' to the A320 profile, and not the A320NX profile. For this, then you need: That is a possibility. However, I am concerned if this will be possible with all aircraft due to the encryption sometimes used with deluxe and add-on aircraft. I will have a think about this and maybe look into this. A main issue changing to this would also be that it would invalidate all current profile assignments. I guess I could handle this by determining the FSUIPC version and re-writing the profile sections, but would be a bit of a pain. Let me think about this. No, nothing has changed in this area. Yes - hvar file names must also match in the same way. However, If I do decide to change the way profiles are matched, this would not change the way hvar files are matched. The hvar files are loaded by the WASM which (currently) has no knowledge of the aircraft.cfg file, its location or access to FSUIPC offset information. I could also look into this but would be separate from the profile issue. I also have other changes planned which I think are far more useful to the general community, so I cannot give you any timescales when I will look into this at the moment. John
  10. I have never heard of such behavior and have no idea what could cause this...FSUIPC is not actually doing anything when the UI is opened - it is just waiting for mouse input events from windows. Have you tried re-installing the P3D client? Can't think of anything else at the moment...
  11. But did it detect anything when you press the buttons on the device?
  12. As you have already ran the first one, just run the 2nd one, with your logitech jopystick and rudder pedals disconnected, then reboot and reconnect. then run FSUIPC7 and exit, and show me the 3 files again. Sorry about your issues with MSFS, but I can't help with that. Try the Asobo forums for installation issues.
  13. I haven't tried this but the result depends in which level the MSFS applies the sensitivity curves. From what you say, it looks like the values send from FSUIPC go at a higher level and bypass the MSFS calibration. John
  14. No, sorry, as this is just a message from ATC. There is no 'status' of the aircraft for this. John
  15. Yes. FSUIPC starts its button enumeration from 0, not 1. John
  16. That is usually due to the axis being flagged as a digital (on/off) axis in the registry. See this postL John
  17. It is the delta value - inly value changes greater or equal to this are sent to the FS. Yes. John
  18. I can't see how this can be... please double-check the file extension (as well as location), as it can also have another extension (usually .txt) that is hidden when you look at it in windows explorer. If that isn't the issue, please show me that file. John
  19. That is a macro using an lvar. Well, sorry for the delay as I was also on holiday from the 12th until today/tomorrow. So the throttle is working but the throttle n the UI isn't moving? So, how can you tell that the throttle is working - do you hear it and does the aircraft accelerate? Anyway, I think this is a common issue with the Aerosoft Airbus, although I can't remember the solution... There are various throttle axis controls - try switching to using a different one maybe. Also check the aerosoft forums for this: https://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/forum/551-throttle-issues-with-fsuipc/ - you will most probably find something relevant there - please report back id you do.
  20. If you are using the trial license, then this does NOT validate in the installer, as mentioned in the initial post: If you are not using the trial license, you have posted in the wrong topic... And for registration issues, please see the provided documentation. If you have re-installed windows, you most probably need to install the latest VC++ combined redistributable packages. See the README,txt for details (or the MANY other posts on the same issue). John
  21. Unfortunately not, as these are internal controls only and are not exposed via SimConnect. Generally, for such events (non-axis), you can assign to a keypress in MSFS, and then assign your button to that keypress, but you cannot do this with axis controls. If useful, you could try assigning to the non-axis controls: Increase/Decrease Condition Lever Increase/Decrease Condition Lever 1/2/3/4 Condition Lever Low Idle Condition Lever High Idle Condition Lever Cut Off Condition Lever 1/2/3/4 Low Idle Condition Lever 1/2/3/4 High Idle Condition Lever 1/2/3/4 Cut Off Also, check to see if they are actually working for the aircraft that you are using. Last time I looked at these, back in November, I didn't have much success with these. John
  22. Hi Carlos, sorry for the delay - I am back now... Question: did you run the second .reg script I provided (on the 5th January)? There is still a conflict between your Logitech G13 Joystick and your rudder pedals that this should (hopefully) solve. The registry changes are to clean-up your devices and in no way would this cause any changes to MSFS (so re-installing won't help), and they should also not cause MSFS to CTD. Are you still getting these? Are you using empty profiles for your devices in MSFS (recommended if assigning in FSUIPC), or do you have assignments to your devices in MSFS? And did you take a back-up of your registry before making the suggested changes? If so, try restoring that back-up and see if you still get the CTDs with your original registry and we can go form there. Otherwise, try creating new (empty) profiles for your devices in MSFS.
  23. I really can't comment on XPUIPC for X-plane, as this is from another developer. I have replied to your PM on the same subject. John
  24. Unfortunately I am on holiday now, back on support on the 18th. I am not going to review this support request until then. Please review what I have already advised. and also please remember that i do need details on what you have actually done, especially when I am suggesting multiple or different options. And I need to see your files each time you have changed things and require further support. In summary, review what I have already advised, provide the new files and I will get back to you on the 17th or 18th. Sorry for the delay. John
