Why are you clicking 'Connect' - you should use Auto-Connect to FS (see Options menu), which is the default. And this has nothing to do with the Assignments menu - you can assign without MSFS even running (although not advised). Your problem is that you are using an unregistered version, which does not have the Assignments menu. When you installed, at the end of the installation process, there is a page for registration. Did you register there? i.e. enter your license details and click the Register button? So, your issue is nothing to do with the (new) title or your original post, it is that you cannot see the Assignments menu option, which means that you are using an unregistered version. PLEASE at least give a quick look at the documentation. I provide these so I don't have to be continually answering posts like this one. I suggest that you start with the Installing and Registering FSUIPC7 one, and then move on to the User Guide. If you didn't reach the registration page during installation, it means the installer crashed, and you won't have the documents installed (but you will still have the Installation and Registration guide, as that is in the zip you downloaded). If this is the case, then this is usually due to your VC++ redistibutables being wrong, and you need to uninstall and re-install them. Instructions (and a link) are provided in the README.txt file for this. Later:... and what do you mean by 'File Menu does not appear'..That is ALWAYS in the FSUIPC7 main window. What are you looking at?

At the moment, yes, but as I said, you can do: setLvar(getHvarIdFromName("My lvar"), myLvarValue); (or similar if using the dll). And, as I also said, I will add some convenience functions (at some point, low priority) to do this directly, i.e. setLvar("MyLvar", my/lvarValue); (overloaded in the WAPI, I will have to give different names in the dll, eg setLvarByName).

then reload you assignments. Or uncheck the 'Map to 4props' and 'Map to 4 Mixt' checkboxes on page 2 of the calibration screens. You don't need to do this as you are using separate axes for mixture1/2 & propPitch1/2. Once that's done, you can calibrate your Mixture1/2 on page 4 of the calibration screens, and as they are using separate axes you should calibrate both mixture1 and mixture2 (and not map, unless you want to map your 2 axes to 4).

You will find that the same refund policy applies to ALL products on SimMarket, and most other digital downloaded products. Those that do offer a refund (NOT on SimMarket) allow for a restricted period only and also do on-line license validation so that they can cancel/invalidate the license. You must realise that there are many people using hacked or publicly available keys for licensed software. You may not do these, but I'm afraid that here are an awlful lot of people that do. Anyway, there is no point discussing this further. No refunds.. And I don't understand why you even want to request one when you haven't even tried the software, even though you should have tried before you bought it. As I said, your issue is a relatively common one that is easy to solce, and is documented in the README.txt.

If using the A320, you you try the MobiFlight events to control these: You can use these in FSUIPC7 by adding them using event files. There is a post in this forum (including event files you can download and use) on how to do this. For the offsets, you could try looking at 0x07DC, 0x07E2 and 0x3458

There are (or should be) multiple files there - only 146 lvars per file, which is how many each Client Data Area created can hold, again a hangover from a previous implementation. You usually actually get more lvars when you create lvar files, as it re-scans for lvars when doing this so you can get more than the initial scan. If you find that you get more, you can issue a reload command to the WASM to reload all the current lvars back to the client/WAPI.

Maybe, but I don't think so. I have verified details here when this has happened (using the installer) and they have been fine. For a few users, re-installing the VC__ redistributables have solved this issue, for others not. However, as this is a rare occurrence, there is an easy work-around, and I cannot reproduce, its not really worth me investigating this at the moment, especially as I have so much else on my plate at the moment....

Oh, and please give your posts and appropriate title. Your name means nothing to most people (including me), sorry. If you give your post an appropriate title, it may attract people who know how to solve your issue. I have updated the title for you.

I don't know what video you are talking about. Have you tried looking at and following the documentation? Start with the User Guide, especially the section The Easy Step-by-Step Way to Calibrate Your Controls. If you still have issues, then post what you have tried, what problems you have, and also include your FSUIPC7.ini file. Be patient! John

Yes its working - although I don't know why you would want to use this function. Its a hangover from a previous implementation. The files are created under your AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\fsuipc-lvar-module\work folder (which is the WASM persistent storage area for the FSUIPC WASM module).

I also noticed this in the 747. There is an lvar (on the 747) for standby power: XMLVAR_StandbyPower_Selector. However, I've just tried this and it only seems to work switching between AUTO and BAT, and cannot switch to or from OFF. As for lvars in FSUIPC7, I have just released an early-access version with lvar support. For documentation on how to use lvars with FSUIPC7, you have to look at the FSUIPC6 documentation for the time being (and also have the WASM module installed - just download, unzip and move to your community folder, instructions on the WASM announcement page). I will be updating the documentation and the installer (to handle the WASM) in the coming days, and hope to release this as an official beta release later this week (or early next week).

I'm not sure about the 748 as its an add-on that I don't have. Enable event logging and activate the controls in the UI and see what events are logged. For the stock 747, it has been reported that the Master Battery Set event (as well as offset 0x281C) only work to switch the battery off but not on. When clicking in the UI, it sends the event ELECTICAL BUS TO BUS CONNECTION TOGGLE with a parameter of 17, however assigning to this does nothing. But, using a parameter of 0 seems to turn all power off/on, but doesn't change the UI switch state. For the Standby Power (again, in the 747), there is an lvar called XMLVAR_StandbyPower_Selector. I have just tried this in the 747 and it works switching between AUTO and BAT but not to or from off. Note that to use lvars you will need the latest beta (or best to wait for an official release if not an advanced user). Anyway, as you are using a 3rd party add-on, first try the support for that aircraft to see if they have provided anything to control those functions first.

Did you try re-installing the VC++ redistributables as advised? Sorry, no refunds. You can download and try before purchase, and I also offer time-limited licenses for those who wish to try the registered version before purchase. We do not provide refunds as once the license is issued, it cannot be revoked (no real-time license validation). The issue is that you do not have the correct windows files installed to use the software. This is easily fixed by following the advice I have already given.

Try removing these from the [JoystickCalibration] section of your ini files: then reload you assignments. You should then be able to calibrate those axes separately, or use the mapping checkboxes.

My application is based around an .ini file with the names of the variables the user like to save/load, so I guess I'm using your API in the opposite direction from what you intended 🙂 Sorry, I meant that you can use fsuipcw_getLvarIdFromName first to get the id. You should be able to use the API either on name or id really. I think I'll also add some convenience methods to let you use the name directly.

Yes, but you can just use fsuipcw_getLvarNameFromId first to get the name.

Yes, sorry - had to switch to using basic types and remove the need for the c/c++ headers for use with other languages.

Issues like this after many hours of flying using various 3rd party add-ons (including FSUIPC) is usually due to an old SimConnect bug (since ESP days) where SimConnect runs out of client connections. This seems to affect all versions of SimConnect. There is further information on this issue in this forum, so search for that. There's no real solution, but you should increase the MaxClients parameter in your SimConnect.xml to at least 128 (or the maximum, whatever that is). You also posted in the User Contributions sub-forum, where it explicitly states NOT for support requests. I have moved your post for you.

You can disable controllers in Steam can you? I didn't know that! In MSFS, in the controllers page (where you edit your assignments) you can create profiles for each of your controllers. If you create a new MSFS profile there, it will automatically be empty, meaning that nothing will be assigned to your controllers.

Thats the general Axes section, where you want to copy the assignments from your [Axes.TBM] (or whatever your TBM profile is called) to.

This is because you are mapping your mixture 1 settings to 2,3 & 4, as indicated by the message 'Axis copied from mix 1'. It looks like its not copying the reverse to the other axis. What version of FSUIPC and what FS are you using? Could you show me your FSUIPC.ini file please, as well as a .log file. Thanks.

And don't forget, I have only included a hvar file for the A320, so they will only be available for that aircraft, unless you have some hvar files for other aircraft. If you do, please share!

You can only access hvarsfrom the new lvar menu at the moment (Activate Hvar...). As well as the new controls above (which are still to be implemented), I also need to add lua/macro functions for hvars....

Please find attached v7.1.0d of FSUIPC7 that has lvar support via macros and lua scripts. (i.e. as in FSUIPC5/6). This is an early 'pre-release' for testing. I am planning on updating the installer (to add the WASM) + the documentation this week, and when that is done I will release as a beta. To use, you must have the FSUIPC WASM module installed. When FSUIPC7 is started, if the WASM is detected there will be a new LVAR menu under the Add-ons menu. To activate lvar functionality, you need to Enable through this menu (you only need to do this once!). Once I have updated the installer + documentation (and released officially as a beta), I am planning in adding the following new FSUIPC controls to allow direct assignments to lvars/hvars: L:var Set L:var Toggle L:var Increment L:var Decrement H:var Activate Execute Calc.
