Sorry, which error? Do you mean that all event.terminate functions are called correctly if/when you exit MSFS/FSUIPC7, but not when going back to the main menu?
-
If FSUIPC crashes, you should save the log and show it to me. The log is also renamed FSUIPC7_prev.log when FSUIPC7 is restarted, so you will still have your previous log rvrn if you restart FSUiPC7. I cannot help you if you do not show me your logs... The windows event viewer information you posted shows a fault, not a crash. You also seem to have many such errors in your windows event viewer - are they all from FSUIPC7? How many are produced when FSUIPC7 crashes/disappears? Can you show me all such events produced (from anything, not just FSUIPC7), in order, when this occurs.
-
I don't understand this. Do you mean it crashed? If FSUIPC7 is crashing or not exiring cleanly, I need to see your lkohgs + any windows event information. There is no point in reporting things otherwise. So your lua scripts were not started? Do you have the logs for this? Ok - as I said, I will look into this.
-
So MSFS crashed? If you restart FSUIPC7 and the sim has crashed, there will be no simvar values available. But is the sim running (you say it crashed)? Also, when/how are you reading this? i,e, how do you know 'in simvars i have '0' value'? Could it be that yoiu are reading the offset before the initial offset data is has been received? Please explain your issue more clearly, and show me the script and and FSUIPC7.log that shows your problem.

Can't find offset for AUTOPILOT GLIDESLOPE ACTIVE
John Dowson replied to Mugz's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
FSUIPC7.2.0 Ok - I've moved this topic to the FSUIPC7 sub-forum. Ok, I'll add the ARM and ACTIVE simvars - AUTOPILOT GLIDESLOPE HOLD is already available in offset 0x07FC, and post a new version for you to test, either later today or tomorrow. -
Can't find offset for AUTOPILOT GLIDESLOPE ACTIVE
John Dowson replied to Mugz's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
First, you posted in the User Contributions sub-forum, where it states NOT for support requests. I have moved your post for you, but please take care to post in the correct forum for future requests- either here or in the FSUIPC7 sub-forum for FSUIPC7/MSFS support requests, This is not currently held in any offset. I can add this, but only for FSUIPC6 or FSUIPC7. Which version of FSUIPC are you using? Are there any other simvars that I should look into adding at the same time (e.g. AUTOPILOT GLIDESLOPE ARM, AUTOPILOT APPROACH CAPTURED, AUTOPILOT APPROACH ARM or AUTOPILOT APPROACH ACTIVE)? -
Yes, it looks like only one event.terminate function is currently called, for the first lua script that is auto-started. I will look into it. However, it is probably better to merge your scripts and just have one event.terminate call anyway. i.e. put all your com handling in a single script, make that the first lua that is auto-started and have your event.terminate call in that script. You could try the following version. This should call the event.terminate functions for all scripts (but please report back!), but it will only add the TimeForLuaClosing delay to the first event.terminate call. I will look into this further and report back. FSUIPC7.exe

G1000 Flight One tech issue with Knob or Pushbutton over Id 31
John Dowson replied to sikorsky77's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
To use the 128 button functionality, you need the following line in the [General] section of your FSUIPC8.ini file: EnableExtraButtons=Yes However, this should be added by default - you only need to change this if you don't want the additional buttons > 32 to be recognixed. Are you saying that assigning to buttons > 32 doesn't work (i.e. the control isn't being sent), or that the control is being sent but has no affect? If you are not sure, activate logging for Buttons & Keys as well as Events, and you should be able to see the button presses and associated controls being sent in the log file (you can view in real-time using the 'Open Console' window). It is also known that many if the standard controls for the G1000 are not working. You can look into using lvars/hvars rather than standard control/events, or try with the MobiFlight WASM module and the MF events. You may also be better of installing the Working Title G1000 mod and trying with that. There is plenty of info on this on the Asobo (and other) forums.- 12 replies

This does not ensure that FSUIPC is the cause of the problem. FSUIPC7 is a standalone executable - if it crashes, will not affect MSFS. Did you check the windows event viewer to see if any crash or fault events were logged? If not, please check. Also, check your FSUIPC7.log file - you will most likely find that FUIPC7 exited normally as MSFS crashed - FSUIPC7 will always exit when MSFS crashes if it was auto-started by MSFS. If you find an MSFS crash event in your windows event log, you should report the crash to Asobo and include the crash report.
-
What scripting language (FSUIPC SDK?) are you using? And why are you opening and closing in the loop - probably better to open the connection, loop to send you gear retract/open commands, then close when done. But I'm nor sure what you are trying to do in your script. Maybe it would be helpful if you let us know what you are trying to achieve and how...

I can't configure cameras / No puedo configurar las camaras
John Dowson replied to Santito's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
Como has asignado el boton? Tenga en cuenta que los controles de la camara no funcionan en MSFS (via SimConnect). Para controlar la camara, primero asigne una tecla (o teclas) a la función de la cámara en las asignaciones del teclado en MSFS, y luego asigne su botón a esa tecla asignada. -
This one: offsetStatus-v0.21.ods Try reading the manuals. For general lua information, use google. To find out how lua plugins work with FSUIPC, read the FSUIPC Lua Plug-Ins.pdf document. This also contains an overview of the provided examples. Then, for specific on the FSUIPC lua library, take a look at the FSUIPC Lua Library.pdf document. Also check-out the User Contributions and FAQ sub-forums on this support site.

As the message you quoted says, the spreadsheet comes in the zip file that you downloaded. The example lua programs can be found in your FSUIPC7 Documents folder, bundled together in a zip file called Example LUA plugins.zip. Of course all lua scripts are exited when you exit the Sim. FSUIPC7 also exits when the sim exits, if it is started by MSFS, and all programs started by FSUIPC7 will also exit. Why would you want to run anything when MSFS is exiting? Once the sim is exiting, there is nothing that can be done except shut-down gracefully.

It will - I will post a new one next week.

FSUIPC v7.2.0 beta support: Adding Lvars to Offsets
John Dowson replied to John Dowson's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
Yes, v7.2.0 is no longer in beta - it is now the latest and only supported version. -
FSUIPC v7.2.0 beta support: Adding Lvars to Offsets
John Dowson replied to John Dowson's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
First, the format is incorrect - The offset cannot be both a signed word (SW) and an unsigned byte (UB). PLEASE see the documentation in the Advanced User guide for the format. I am not going to explain this yet again.... Second, you have added the lvar in general section (i.e. not profile specific) so it will try and get that lvar for every aircraft. It certainly won't exist for every aircraft, so you will get an error if the lvar cannot be found. Try listing the available lvars for your loaded aircraft using the Add-ons->WASM->List Lvars menu option. -
For lvars, you can use the new lvars-to-offsets facility, available by editing the FSUIPC7.ini. See the Advanced User Guide for details and an example.
-
Yes, many. See the offset document spreadsheet - this gives the simvar names (where relevant) for the offset address. For reading/writing to these offsets via lua. check out the lua examples provided.

Honeycomb Lights Fix messes with FSUIPC7 starting
John Dowson replied to Dave March's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
Spaces are optional in xml files, although help readability. The Logitech MSFS plugin has the same issue. There is an example of an EXE.xml for this in this support request: You just need multiple <Launch.Addon>...</Launch.Addon> sections, one for each application that you wish to launch. And make sure they are both within a <SimBase.Document> section. -
I think it does, but I'm not sure if thats in the stable version yet. This video explains how to set up the throttles using the FlyPad/EFB, atarting at th1 10L20 maek:
-
You can read simulator variables that are held in offsets, using the lua ipc.readXXX functions. If the simvar is not yet held in an offset, you can request it to be added. John

Rudder/Brakes problems
John Dowson replied to rojo2021's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Yes, thats the easiest way. Best to do this without FSUIPC running. That will only remove axis assignments for the currently loaded aircraft, so will only affect one profile (the one currently loaded). Yes, but the axis/button assignments are not updated then - they are updated when you close the FSUIPC window (click 'Ok'). -
Tiller and rudder pedals unresponsive
John Dowson replied to sludgypilot's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
First, you posted in the FAQ sub-form, where it states NOT for support requests. I have moved your post for you. Could you attach you FSUIPC6.ini please so that I can see your assignments. Also, activate logging for Axes Controls, and generate a short(ish) log with your a/c loaded and move your assigned elevator axis through its full range, and also move the axis assigned to the tiller through its full range. Close down P3D and attach the FSUIPC6.log file generated. Thanks. Also, which version of ProSim are you using? I don't use ProSim but Pete does, so he may be able to assist further if you let us known the ProSim version.
