This is a bit old now (sorry!), but did you mange to do this? You can use the Mixture Lean control (or Mixturen Lean for the engine specific versions) for cut-off, and Mixture Rich (or Mixturen Rich) for idle.

I'm sorry but I can't really support C#. If using C# and the WAPID.dll you should try with Paul Henty's dll for .NET (if not using already) which is also compatible with the WAPID - see Paul may also be able to help with FSUIPC access via C# if you post in his sub-forum: https://forum.simflight.com/forum/167-fsuipc-client-dll-for-net/ John

FSUIPC 6 Run Command issue
John Dowson replied to DakotaPilot's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Ok. Thanks for the update. -
FSUIPC 6 Run Command issue
John Dowson replied to DakotaPilot's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Hmm/ Sounds a bit strange... Especially as the command works when you run it in a command window, which would suggest that the program is picking up the correct path. I think it may depend on which shell is being used to run/interpret the command. Did you try both with double quotes around the program location and the argument separately? And also around the whole command line command? And even if the command line argument is incorrect, doesn't the program start anyway and give some sort of error that the file can't be found? Or is the program closing and returning error code 267? -
FSUIPC 6 Run Command issue
John Dowson replied to DakotaPilot's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Ah, sorry - missed that! Then you should do as the manual suggests, quotes around the program start path and quotes around the parameter. You have no quotes, e.g. If that doesn't work, you can try quotes around the whole line, but try that, as documented, first... -
FSUIPC 6 Run Command issue
John Dowson replied to DakotaPilot's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
But you have no parameters - at least not in what you posted, Quotes are only needed if the path contains spaces or if command line parameters are needed, as specified in the Advanced User manual, although it never does any harm to include them anyway. As (I presume) you replaced your actual name with the string NAME, we can't tell what the actual path is, but if it has spaces, it needs to be in quotes. As a test, you can also try running your run command from a terminal window, to see if it actually works outside of FSUIPC. -
Does in work with GFDevFSX.exe? See https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/578617-ms-2020-and-goflight/page/4/ Are you using FSUIPC7, and if so is the device recognised (i.e. is it a HID joystick type device)? Maybe worth looking/asking on the GoFlight forums.
-
There is no current beta for FSUIPC7 - that post is over a year old! For all FSUIPC products and related software, please use www.fsuipc.com. If click-to-download doesn't work, right-click and select 'Sava as...'.

Are those files from after you changed the ids or before? After I presume.... Can you again do the following: - unplug your devices - backup your registry - run the .reg file again - remove the drivers for your X55 using the windows device manager - reboot Once done, don't connect your devices, but go into regedit and search for any entries with a vendor id of 0738 and a product id of 2215 or A215. Do you see anything? If so, try removing those. You really want to remove all traces of these devices so that they are detected as new devices. Once those entries have been removed, reboot again and give the registry a last check. Then connect you devices, start P3D/FSUIPC, load an aircraft, shut down, and then show me those 3 files again.
-
Sorry, I'm probably posting too many messages and confusing you... If you have done anything yet, first try this: - unplug your devices - backup your registry - run the .reg file again - remove the drivers for your X55 using the windows device manager - reboot - connect your devices. Let windows install the default drivers - start P3D/FSUIPC, load an aircraft, then shut down - show me your 3 files, the .ini, .log and .JoyScan.csv files If you still don't get the devices recognised as individual devices after doing this, then you can try manually setting/changing the joystick using a program called JoyIds. See John
-
I suspect that there may be other registry entires that need removing.... You could try running the.reg file again with devices unplugged (again, backup first), then reboot. Start regedit, backup again, and then search for 0738 (the VendorID for the X55). All entries you encounter that look related to your devices (i.e. if they also have a Product ID of 2215 or A215) should be removed. Then reboot again, connect you devices, start P3D/FSUIPC and see what is recognised. Show me you .log, .ini and .joyscan.csv files after doing this. Maybe show me your current JoyScan.csv file first before doing this though....
-
I don't know why it has done this again....are you unplugging your devices? Try cleaning the registry again. Once done, and you have ran P3D/FSUIPC once to update your ini, close P3D and then change this line in your FSUIPC5.ini: AutoAssignLetters=No to AutoAssignLetters=Yes And the run P3D/FSUIPC again. Close down P3D/FSUIPC and show me your updated FSUIPC5.ini and FSUIPC5.log files (the devices may need switching after doing this). I don't know why it has done this again. Are you sure you don't have the saitek/logitech drivers installed, or are running any saitek control software?
-
Sure. No, you can leave it running - it shouldn't take up too many resources. However, if you don't want to use it, you can also opt to not install it during the installation process. If you occasionally want to use it with FSUIPC7, you can just move it out of your Community folder (i.e. move it up one folder level) before you start MSFS, and when you want to use it just move it back, again before you start MSFS.
-
Because when you installed FSUIPC7 you selected the option to auto-start with MSFS. When this is selected, it creates or updates the MSFS EXE.xml file so that MSFS auto-starts FSUIPC7 at the appropriate time. If you don't want this to happen., re-install FSUIPC7 and deselect the auto-start component. After doing this, if you want to still have the ability to start FSUIPC7 with MSFS from the desktop MSFS link that is created, you can edit the MSFS.bat file, located in your FSUIPC7 installation folder, and located the following lines (although your path to the FSUIPC7.exe may be different): Then remove the two double colons which comment out the timeout and start lines, thus: If you do this, you can then use the MSFS desktop link to start MSFS and FSUIPC7, or the standard MSFS desktop link or start menu option to start MSFS without FSUIPC7.

Elevator Trim Offset Control
John Dowson replied to rojo2021's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Yes - or you can remove them using the assignments UI panel, if they are single assignments to buttons. -
Please see the README.txt file provided in the downloaded zip file. You need to uninstall and re-install your VC++ redistributables.

Aerosoft Airbus Pedal DISC
John Dowson replied to aaflyboy773's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
And it looks like you can also control the Pedal DISC with the lvar AB_FCTL_Tiller_Toggle - see https://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/148027-mapping-pedal-disc-to-button/ Maybe the easiest root to take - just set up a macro for that lvar (see the Advanced User Guide for details). -
Aerosoft Airbus Pedal DISC
John Dowson replied to aaflyboy773's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
There is also a lua script for the A320 pedal disconnect button in this post:https://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/94496-rudder-pedal-disc-button/ However, that post is quite old now and the lua is no longer available. It may be worth asking on the aerosoft forums. -
Aerosoft Airbus Pedal DISC
John Dowson replied to aaflyboy773's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
I don't think there is a standard control for this. Before trying lua, try setting up a mouse macro instead. See the Advanced User guide for details. -
Ok. You can try but it may not be necessary, I've just checked in the windows Game Controllers to see what it says for my X55 throttle and stick, and I have something similar but the other way around - I see the test page for the throttle but not the stick, and the calibrate button is grayed out. However, as both my stick and throttle work as expected, this doesn't seem to be an issue. I think this is maybe just how the x55 works. The difference in our systems is that for me the stick has id 0 and the throttle 1, and yours is the other way around. I don't think this is an issue. Just try Pete and my suggestions in FSUIPC. Ok, no problem. Let us know how you get on. John
