Writing to several datarefs with one offset
John Dowson replied to Samhaho's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
I have no idea what a 'dataref' is... No idea what that means either. What language is that? No idea. I think you need MobiFlight support, not FSUIPC. Try their discord channel. I cannot support MobiFlight. In FSUIPC offset 0x8531 is in an area reserved for 'Radar Contact, verbal command control area'. John -
Yes... FSUIPC7 is a 64-bit program, you cannot run that on a 32-bit OS. I posted a link to that post to show you how to run a simconnect client (such as FSUIPC) on an FS client PC. It shows how you configure your simconnect client for a networked connection. That post obviously shows you how to do this with FSUIPC7, but the procedure is the same for any simconnect client, i.e. your simkits. If it requires FSUIPC, then you need to use the 32-bit WideClient, available in the WideFS6 download. John

You usually get a notification of some sort - a message that is displayed then disappears, but I think this depends on your windows settings. I wouldn't worry about it. You can always check which drivers are in use via the Windows Device manager, if needed. John

No problem. -
FS2020 FSUIPC7 Offset for LVLCHG (level change) ??
John Dowson replied to hermann's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
They still don't work with the AP_ prefix, but the following are accepted: FLIGHT_LEVEL_CHANGE FLIGHT_LEVEL_CHANGE_ON FLIGHT_LEVEL_CHANGE_OFF RPM_SLOT_INDEX_SET I also checked other previously unrecognised control, and the following are also now available: BEACON_LIGHTS_ON BEACON_LIGHTS_OFF AP_SPD_VAR_SET_EX1 I will add these in the next release of FSUIPC7.

Download link for WASMv0.0.5d Broken
John Dowson replied to Scotfleiger's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Ok, but that is exactly the same link as in www.fsuipc.com - I just copied and pasted it so I'm not sure what the issue is... John -
No, the ini change didn't work. We can try cleaning the registry entries if you like - let me know and I can provide you with a .reg file to do this. No, this is not normal. However, FSUIPC cannot see your yoke at all - is it assigned in FSX? There is an assignment to your ailerons for joystick no. 5L 2=5X,256,F,65763,0,0,0 -{ TO SIM: AXIS_AILERONS_SET }- But no such joystick (i.e. your Alpha yoke) is present in either your .ini, .log or registered in your registry: Are you sure that the yoke was connected? To a hub or direct to the PC? Maybe try switching ports. The Alpha needs to be connected to either a USB 2.0 port or USB 3.1+ - there are issues with the Alpha on USB 3.0 ports. John

I need to see all 3 files again (FSUIPC7.ini, FSUIPC7.log and FSUIPC7.JoyScan.csv) after the changes you have made and when using the default windows drivers. Once I have seen them, I can advise on cleaning your registry.

Your log shows several autobrake controls being sent: However, these are not being sent by FSUIPC. You need to determine what is sending these controls. As this is not being done by FSUIPC, I'm afraid I don't think I can help you with this. Also, non if these events are being sent after a button press. Maybe you can try running with the logging console open to see what is actually logged when you press a joystick button (any one?) and lose your speedbrake setting, to see what events are being sent when this occurs. I cannot tell when this is happening when looking at your full log. John

Key command for Fsx in window mode
John Dowson replied to Reco's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Can you not just use the windows default hot keys for this? To maximise, that would be Windows key + Up You can not assign this to a button press in FSUIPC as we no longer allow the windows key as a modifier as this can cause issues (i.e. it will also be acted on by windows itself if assigned in FSUIPC, causing issues). John -
Updated.

FS2020 FSUIPC7 Offset for LVLCHG (level change) ??
John Dowson replied to hermann's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
Ok. When I look at this I will try both with the AP_ prefix and without, to see if any are recognised. Thanks for the info. John -
So the simkits software is a simconnect client, and not an FSUIPC client? If its a simconnect client, you can set-up a networked simconnect connection. To do this, you need to configure a network simconnect connection in yuor MSFS SimConnect.xml, and also provide a SimConnect.cfg file for your client, and the client must be configured to use this connection. I have provided instructions on how to do this for FSUIPC7 (i.e. to run FSUIPC7 on a client machine) here: If your client software is an FSUIPC client, then as you have a WideServer license, you can download WideFS6 and use the 32-bit WideClient.exe included with that, as the protocol between WideClient and WideServer is the same for 6 and 7.

FS2020 FSUIPC7 Offset for LVLCHG (level change) ??
John Dowson replied to hermann's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
I had added these when they appeared in the documentation, but when I tried to use them I got unrecognised errors when trying to request them. These are the ones that were not recognised: //{KEY_AP_FLIGHT_LEVEL_CHANGE , "AP_FLIGHT_LEVEL_CHANGE"}, -- NAME_UNRECOGNIZED //{KEY_AP_FLIGHT_LEVEL_CHANGE_ON , "AP_FLIGHT_LEVEL_CHANGE_ON"}, -- NAME_UNRECOGNIZED //{KEY_AP_FLIGHT_LEVEL_CHANGE_OFF , "AP_FLIGHT_LEVEL_CHANGE_OFF"}, -- NAME_UNRECOGNIZED //{KEY_AP_ALTITUDE_SLOT_INDEX_SET , "AP_ALTITUDE_SLOT_INDEX_SET"}, -- NAME_UNRECOGNIZED //{KEY_AP_HEADING_SLOT_INDEX_SET , "AP_HEADING_SLOT_INDEX_SET"}, -- NAME_UNRECOGNIZED //{KEY_AP_VS_SLOT_INDEX_SET , "AP_VS_SLOT_INDEX_SET"}, -- NAME_UNRECOGNIZED //{KEY_AP_SPEED_SLOT_INDEX_SET , "AP_SPEED_SLOT_INDEX_SET"}, -- NAME_UNRECOGNIZED //{KEY_AP_RPM_SLOT_INDEX_SET , "AP_RPM_SLOT_INDEX_SET"}, -- NAME_UNRECOGNIZED However, I'm not sure what version I last tested these. I will take a look and if they are now available I will re-activate. There are a lot of new events in the last couple of SU updates. I still need to revise the documentation to see what else can be added. I am planning to do this in the next few days/weeks, once I have cleared the backlog of support requests (and updated my various systems to the latest MSFS/P3D releases....). John -
And a Happy New Year to you as well! I will update later today...working through the backlog... John

Download link for WASMv0.0.5d Broken
John Dowson replied to Scotfleiger's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Did you try a right-click and selecting Sava as... ? Other than that, I have no idea. Can you access from this: FSUIPC WASM Module 0.5.5d Thats the same link as in www.fsuipc.com, with the link source: http://www.fsuipc.com/download/FSUIPC-WASMv0.5.5d.zip Maybe your browsers don't like http? Try pasting that link directly in your browser. Or maybe its some sort of anti-virus software preventing the download? -
Macro that triggers known offset functions?
John Dowson replied to Iadbound's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Button 22 has one assignment: 15=P3,22,Cx03009400,x00000002 -{offset dword set, offset 9400}- which your log shows being pressed and the ssigned vontrol sent: Ok. -
P3Dv5.3 Offset Error 0x3124 Flt Sim Version
John Dowson replied to Scotfleiger's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Then you must be running 5.2....I have just updated to 5.3HF1 and get this: I really can't see how it is reporting the incorrect version - this is taken from the Prepar3D.exe file properties. What does your P3d Help -> About menu option report? Is there an MSFS update? I'm still on 1.21.13.0 which I thought was the latest - just fired it up and no update available for me... John -
No luck with what? What did you try? Yes, but before we do that can you let me know if you did have any saitek software or drivers installed or not. And if you did and removed them, I need to see your updated files.

P3Dv5.3 Offset Error 0x3124 Flt Sim Version
John Dowson replied to Scotfleiger's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Are you sure? Just took a look and it says 53 for me: 114047 Monitor IPC:3124 (U8) = 53 114047 Monitor IPC:3124 (U8) = 53 I still haven't updated to the latest 5.3 HF. I will do that today and recheck. Could you check again and if you still see 52 please show me your FSUIPC6.log file. The version in that offset should match the P3D version reported at the beginning (2nd line) of the log: Prepar3D.exe version = 5.3.12.28072 John -

Are you sure? Which browser are you using? Just tried in Chrome and it downloaded as expected. Maybe a temporary glitch? -
Macro that triggers known offset functions?
John Dowson replied to Iadbound's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Your log shows both assignments on joystick3 button 23 being performed: That also shows your LandingLightsOn macro being executed. There are no assignments to your compound runwayturnoff macro, so I cannot check that. Therefore I cannot see any issues. Could you maybe explain again what your problem is, and provide an appropriate log and ini file if you want me to look into this further. John -
Macro that triggers known offset functions?
John Dowson replied to Iadbound's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Could you please attach a full log, not a continuation log. i.e. do NOT start a new log file. I need to see the complete file. If its too large, just zip it. Are you sure FSUIPC wasn't running when you edited the ini file? If so, you need to reload the assignments before they take affect. This shoudn't be a problem and is a common technique. This should also be fine - can you attach the macro file please. John -
The 'Ignore Axis' button is used to disregard input from that axis for assignment purposes only. It has no affect when FSUIPC is not open. Please see the documentation provided. Then simply remove/delete any assignments in FSUIPC that you have to the yoke and throttle. i.e. rather than click 'Ignore axis', click the 'Clear' button, then 'Ok'. Otherwise, just manually remove any assignments manually from your ini file. You will need to have an axis section in your airbus profile, otherwise the general axes assignments will be inherited, but I think its ok for this to be empty (although I will check this....). Note that it is not possible to remove general button assignments for these devices. If you do not want any button assignments for these devices, all your button assignments for these devices must be done in profiles rather than be general, or they will be inherited in your Airbus profile.
