Yes, you will need to purchase a license for FSUIPC6 for P3Dv5 (and it is also valid for P3Dv4 and P3Db6). Your WideFS7 key is still valid and this can be used with FSUIPC6. John
-
If you have previously purchased a license for FSUIPC6, then the details of your purchase (including the license key) will be available from your SimMarket account. If you don't have a license, you can purchase one from SimMarket. John

The trial license has been updated, now valid until 01/01/2025, John

First, there is no point in monitoring such offsets, Monitoring logs the value of the read offset, whereas you write to the write offset (there are separate areas for read and writing), Well, no point in monitoring, and even if you did you should monitor as a FLT64. The parameter/value for all input events is a 64-bit floating point value (double), as it is for lvars, So make sure you write it as such, and not as an S32 (int). Please re-read the documentation.... John

No. Please see the FSUIPC7 Offset Status document on how to use the facility at offset 0x7C50: John

I am not sure why this would be - I will take a look sometime next week.

There are no id numbers associated to Input Events. Each one is identified internally (and by MSFS) by a hash number, but I don't make these available. But to send an Input Event via an offset, you should use offset 0x7C50/0x7C90 not 0x3110/0x3114, and use the input event name, preceded by 'I:'. John

FSUIPC Causing Sim Crash (FS2020) On Load-Up
John Dowson replied to CrossHyparu's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
Which would confirm that it is not related to FSUIPC, but more of a coincidence that it also happens when FSUIPC is loaded. I think this issue has been reported before, but I can't remember what the issue was caused by, sorry. -
FSUIPC 7.5.0 beta : FS24 PMDG Boeing B737 v 3.0.108
John Dowson replied to androl2015's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
Your log shows you didn't install the WASM for MSFS2024, which could be an issue, Anyway, 7.5.0c has been released now with a full installer, so please download and re-install from John -
FSUIPC 7.5.0 beta : FS24 PMDG Boeing B737 v 3.0.108
John Dowson replied to androl2015's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
So your MCP and EFIS don't work? In MSFS2020 or MSFS2024, or both? How are the devices assigned? In FSUIPC or elsewhere (e.g. cpflight plugin)? Does FSUIPC even recognise your devices? Was this working in MSFS2020 with 7.4.18? Please clarify what your issue is and why you think this is related to FSUIPC. And please also show me / attach your FSUIPC7.log file as this will at least give me some basic information. -
This normally happens when the DirectAxesToCalibs ini option is set to Yes. Remove that it set it to No. If you need that option set, then you can set it to All (see Advanced User guide for details). If that is not the issue, show me / attach your FSUIPC7.log and FSUIPC7.ini files and I will take a look. However, it may take me a few days to get back to you. John

FSUIPC 7.5.0 beta : FS24 PMDG Boeing B737 v 3.0.108

Sorry, but I do not understand what your question is. 7.5.0-beta is now available with an installer from the following page: John -
FSUIPC Causing Sim Crash (FS2020) On Load-Up
John Dowson replied to CrossHyparu's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
That is very strange, and I don't see how FSUIPC can be doing this. When this happens, can you open FSUIPC7 (Alt + F) and does it work (i.e. can you operate the menus)? Can you exit FSUIPC7? If so, please do that and show me / attach your FSUIPC7.log file. Once exited, foes MSFS then display the ready-to-fly button? When you start MSFS and FSUIPC7 is auto-started (presuming you are using auto-start), can you then exit FSUIPC7 and let MSFS load to the main menu. Then select your aircraft and get to the ready-to-fly stage before starting FSUIPC7. Does it then work? Maybe also worth checking the MSFS console for any messages logged there. You need to turn on Developer mode (in the General options) to see the developer menu bar. This is the support forum for FSUIPC7 and I am the developer.... John -
FSUIPC 7.5.0 beta : FS24 PMDG Boeing B737 v 3.0.108
John Dowson replied to androl2015's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
What do you mean? You use PMDG aircraft in MSFS2024 as you would in MSFS2020.... -
I see no reason why not...please just try it! Cheers, John

Introducing Pilot's Deck, a StreamDeck Plugin
John Dowson replied to Fragtality's topic in User Contributions
Note that you probably need the latest FSUIPC7 beta version (7.5.0-beta) for full compatibility with MSFS2024. currently available from the Announcements sub-forum. -
Introducing Pilot's Deck, a StreamDeck Plugin
John Dowson replied to Fragtality's topic in User Contributions
Ok. If you are using Paul's .Net dll, he has already updated this for MSFS2024 and FSUIPC 7.5+ so update to that if not already. The only other thing to consider is if you are checking/reading offset 0x3308 for the FS version (new version number for MSFS2024, and now only populated when connected to the FS). Otherwise you should be ok. Cheers, John -
Introducing Pilot's Deck, a StreamDeck Plugin
John Dowson replied to Fragtality's topic in User Contributions
The current 7.5.0-beta (available from Announcements sub-forum) is pretty much what I will be releasing as 7.5.0 (currently no outstanding issues). Working on the installer at the moment, finished but testing. I then need to update the documentation and will release the full installer + documentation as a beta when this is done, hopefully at the weekend. I will then leave in beta for a week or so, to fix any reported issues, then I will make this the next official release. I recommend trying the v7.5.0-beta now and report any issues found. Or maybe wait for the installer release when it comes in a few days. The official release will be around the 7th December. John -
I have just checked this here, assigning both with send direct and to fs and don't see any issues, either with or without calibration and a slope. Do you see the same issue when assigned in MSFS? If not, can you show me your FSUIPC7.ini and an FSUIPC7.log file, generated with logging for Axes Controls activated, Just load the aircraft, move your rudder fully in both directions then back to center and then exit. Axes are also calibrated when assigned externally (i.e. not in FSUIPC). If the aircraft does not match a profile, the general calibration section will be used, otherwise the profile specific. This has always been the case. If you want to calibrate for a specific aircraft (rather than general calibration) then you should do this in a profile. You can also disable post-calibration (i.e. calibration of axis events seen by FSUIPC, not necessarily assigned) completely by setting AllowSendToFSCalibration=No John

Strange question...depends on the device, but generally yes (for HID joystick type devices - other devices may need additional drivers or lua), in a licensed/registered version. Device / controller handling in FSUIPC7 is exactly the same in MSFS2024 as for MSFS2020.

Missing Lua File Functions in FSUIPC 7.5.00b
John Dowson replied to Airbuspilot's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
You should never modify the [LuaFiles] section unless you know what you are doing. Deleting entries (added by FSUIPC) can also cause issues, as it is the index number of the file in this section that is used when you assign to a lua file. Better to never edit this section. -
Missing Lua File Functions in FSUIPC 7.5.00b
John Dowson replied to Airbuspilot's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
I would prefer if you posted any issues with the beta in the beta release post.... I hope you mean that FSUIPC detected the file and added it to the [LuaFiles] section, and you did not add this manually. If you added it manually, then remove it and try again and see if it is automatically added to that section. If it isn't, it is either in the wrong folder or has an incorrect extension. If it is in the [LuaFiles] section (and was added there by FSUIPC), it must appear in the assignments drop-down when Select for FS control is checked. If it isn't, please show me / attach your FSUIPC7.ini and FSUIPC7.log files. John -
Pan view in external views
John Dowson replied to atrcaptainjohn's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
You would normally assign your POV buttons as an axis (i.e. under the Axis Assignments tab) to the Pan View control (with Send to FS as normal axis), so try that. Remember to delete the assignments to the POV buttons first. Note that when assigning this way, the up/down can zoom in/out, but also move the camera up and down (in the spot external camera and depending on the current camera position). This is the way the external camera controls work in external spot mode, at least in P3Dv4-6. I have no experience of using P3Dv3.
