But what exactly is your issue? If you can explain it rather than saying "FSUIPC works only when he has the focus" then maybe I can help. What exactly are you trying to do/achieve? No, this is not possible and if it was it would cause many issues!

Sorry, what do you mean? FSUIPC "works" without focus. The only functionality that may be different when FSUIPC7 has focus compared to when MSFS has focus is in the key assignments area, and this is due to lack of support (in the MFS SDK) for various keys, and a bug in the numpad keys where they are only sent when numlock is off (when it should be when numlock is on). If thats your issue, then there are already various support requests on this issue (and this has been reported to Asobo). For all other functionality, the focus is not important. Why do you think it is? What is your actual issue? John

Thinking about this further, I'm not sure if this is needed or helpful as it only applies when on the ground (if you were thinking that this could be used for a 2nd calibration when flying at slow speeds). Also, the MaxSteerSpeed is already configurable for different profiles, and you can probably achieve the calibration you require by playing around with this parameter - from the Advanced User Guide: Given this, do you still think that this would be a useful addition?

@HeLord You have posted in a topic (and forum) for FSUIPC7 for MSFS, not for FSUIPC6 and P3Dv5. Can you please post in the main forum for FSUIPC6 support, and attach your FSUIPC6.ini and .log files please. I will delete your post in this topic shortly. John Later: may also be worth reading this (even though its a bit old nbow): https://forums.flightsimlabs.com/index.php?/topic/8145-tuning-the-brakes/ If I understand the gist of that discussion, it seems that FSUIPC calibration doesn't play well with the FSLabs for toe brakes, and you should try 'direct to FS' and calibrate yuor brakes in the FSLabs config files....It may be worth asking over on the FSLabs forums.

Don't the active/standby frequencies swap in the offsets when you do a Com Stnby Radio Swap? What do you see in the BCD offset 0x034E for COM1 /VHF1 active frequency? This is a well used offset and I doubt very much that there is an issue with this in FSUIPC, so I think it must be due to either your PMDG or mobiflight config, neither of which I am familiar with unfortunately. I know PMDG like to do there own thing, but if the COM2 offsets and the COM1 standby are all ok, it is surprising that the COM! active is faulty. I did read somewhere that the comms can be disabled in the FMC when using PMDG - maybe you can check if you have SIM COMMS DISABLED in the FMC? Not sure if this is relevant: https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/460188-activate-atc/ John

@Terry Kulp Sorry, but I have no idea what you are talking about or asking. FSUIPC does not read or write "spreadsheets". There is a spreadsheet provided, which is a temporary document giving the status of the FSUIPC offsets for MSFS, in lieu of the FSUIPC offset document being updated for this FS. Please also note that you have posted in a thread that has been dead for over 17 years! And if you have questions relating to FSUIPC7-beta/MSFS, then you should use the specific sub-forum for that. John

Ok, I'll look into this when I have time. Note however, the steering tiller axis only takes affect when the aircraft is on the ground.

Can you check the main support forum to see if a similar issue has been reported there. If not, please raise a new post there, in the main forum (this is a sub-forum for FSUIPC7 only), with an appropriate title and both you installation log and fsuipc4.log file, if there is one.

If I read this from a user-specified offset, then you could have a simple lua to write the max steer speed needed to that offset. The lua could then also read whatever offset it likes to base this value on, and also take a fraction or apply any other type of calibration, also updating when the aircraft changes.

Possibly. But what do you mean by "fraction"? I could determine the speed from one of the "stall speed" offsets, 0x0538 or 0x0540, or maybe from a user-defined offset? How would you like this determined? I'm pretty busy at the moment but will take a look when I get a chance.

Hi Charles, FSUIPC7 is for MSFS, the latest FS from Microsoft, not for FSX. For FSX, you need FSUIPC4. See the downloads section, or over on www.fsuipc.com. Note that I think you need to have at least applied the service packs to your FSX otherwise the installer may bail. John

Did you calibrate? Steering tiller calibration is on screen 9 of the calibration screens. Then click 'Set' and calibrate! No, I wouldn't do that. I'm not actually sure what that is....! I'll check the code for that. John

Hi Al, you can assign your rudder axis to the steering tiller in the FSUIPC assignments panel (together with the rudder) - you can assign up to 4 axes controls to any one axis. The steering tiller is actually am FSUIPC-added axis that uses the rudder control, but allows a separate calibration in FSUIPC's calibration page. It won't have any affect above the MaxSteerSpeed, where your standard rudder calibration will kick-in. Please see the box on P34 of the FSUIPC6 User Guide. I would also try just using the steering tiller calibration initially, if thats not good enough then yes, by all means extend the range to de-sensitize around the centre. John

I'm sorry Nick but I really can't help you with this. You really need support from PM or CPFlight, or from @Thomas Richter for TSR. John

I have added two new (undocumented) controls for the master avionics: Avionics Master 1 Set Avionics Master 2 Set Tested these in the C172 and they seem to operate in the reverse manner than usual, with a parameter of 1 turning the avionics off, and a parameter of 0 turning them on. These new controls are available in the attached version: FSUIPC7.exe

I've performed various tests over the weekend on P3Dv5 and windows 1909 and 2004, with and without various add-ons (ActiveSky, Chaseplane, OrbX, A2A), and cannot reproduce this issue, even with P3Dv5/FSUIPC6 running for over 24hours. Looking at the thread for the same issue over on the LM forums (https://www.prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6312&t=139856&p=228300&hilit=freeze+after+7+hours#p228300), it seems that some people are also experiencing this issue without FSUIPC6 running. Therefore I really don't see how this can be related to FSUIPC, and must be something internal to P3D, maybe on the SimConnect interface there. Reading the various reports, its also not clear what the actual symptoms are when this occurs. Some people report loss of flight controls, were others also report loss of mouse and keyboard functionality. I think the way forward on this one would be to get LM to investigate this, so I would suggest that you use that LM thread (link above) and try and clarify the issue and how to reproduce there. Sorry I can't be of more help, but I really can't think of anything else I can do with this issue. John

Hi Al, it is not possible to make the axis sensitivity conditional on whether the a/c is on the ground, and calibration slopes can't be changed or adjusted once assigned. Of course, you can always use lua to intercept the axis and do your own calibration (or slope adjustment) there, but you would have to implement this yourself (i.e. you cannot use FSUIPC's built-in slope calibration). For adjusting sensitivity between the rudder and tiller when on the ground, take a look at the MaxSteerSpeed and RudderBlendLowest ini parameters (documented in the Advanced User guide). John

First, you posted in the FAQ sub-forum, where it states : Answers to Frequently Asked Questions.. NOT for support requests.. Please post in the correct forum. There are two ways of doing this: - using Macros: see the Advanced User manual - by editing the ini. To do this, assign your first action. Then open the .ini file and located the entry for that action and copy it. Then, back in FSUIPC, change the assignment to your second control. Then, back to the ini and paste back in the line you copied from the first action, and change the first (index) number to the next free one (usually increment by 1) to make it unique. When editing the ini, you can do this with P3D/FSUIPC running, but need to use the 'reload all buttons' function to reload your assignments once changed.. Also, not that one you have overloaded assignments, when you look at the assignments in the ui panel you will only see one of these and it will be grayed out.

Yes, when it goes on sale. A time-limited license is provided for the time being. There will be a discount for FSUIPC5 and FSUIPC6 license holders. John

Not yet - I'd like to get at least the main documentation (user guide, advanced user guide + offset status) updated before it goes on sale. I was hoping to get this done by the end of the month but looks unlikely, so it will most probably go on sale in mid November (I'll extend the beta license until it goes on sale). John

Sorry, this is incorrect - it was with 5.0HF2. I don't think this can be an issue with FSUIPC6, especially as it occurs when FSUIPC6 is running but not actuallly doing anything. What are these - they don't seem relevant, e.g. the FSUIPC6.log file is for a session lasting around a minute, and certainly not 7 hours+. The SimConnect log file just shows a few exceptions from FSLabs. I did the test on windows 1909. I'll retest on 2004 to see if this is an issue, but doubt it very much. Did you check the event viewer when this issue occurs? Maybe worth checking to see if there are any system events relating to lack of resources. You can also try uninstalling and re-installing the VC C++ redistributables, as sometimes strange things can occur if these are out of date or corrupted. Worth a try at least. Other than that, I'm not sure what more I can do to investigate this issue.

Hi Achoriham, No I haven't. You could try unchecking Auto-Connect to FS. Then, when you "re-sync", manually disconnect and re-connect, to see if that solves your issue. John

I've had P4Dv5 running with FSUIPC6 + Chaseplane for over 24 hours now without an issue. However, I'm currently using the P3Dv5.1 beta. I'll roll back to 5.0HF2 and retest to see if its an issue with that version.

Sorry, I'm getting confused again! LogCustom is FSUIPC7, for FSUIPC6, please use: Debug=Please LogExtras=x4 Later: unfortunately saved files or errors saving files aren't currently logged - I will add for the next release. However, the additional logging will still show when autosave is activated and file deletions and errors thereof. Currently 4h30mins into a flight....
