Axis Doesn't Start Working until I Open/Close Axes Settings
John Dowson replied to pilotjohn's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
You log shows that a PAUSE_SET control was sent (with parameter 1, i.e. on) as soon as you connected to MSFS: Controls (e.g. axes movements) will not be seen by the sim when this pause mode is set. I cant see where you unset this pause mode - maybe in the sim? Its also set later, sometime after you have closed the axes dialog panel: Next time you experience this issue, check that you have not inadvertently paused the sim. John -
FSUIPC7 intermittent disconnects: TransmitClientEvent failures
John Dowson replied to roniish's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
As Thomas says, you should try and correct your registry entries, but I don't think this is related to your problem. Your log shows an earlier failure from which it recovered: I've noticed TransmitClientEvent being used in another place on the same thread, so this could be interfering, but I would need to see you SimConnect.log to verify, For now, could you try the attached version and let me know how you get on. If you get the same error with this version, could you reactivate SimConnect logging (as explained earlier in this thread) and show me the SimConnect log file(s) when this issue occurs. Thanks. FSUIPC7.exe -
Do you mean 'engine start'? Have you tried the Magneto controls - or do you mean something else? What 'commands'? Which aircraft?
-
Some work, some don't, and others have issues. We report the ones that we find problems with (that FSUIPC use) to Asobo and hopefully they will be fixed in a future update. I haven't tried the Flight Level Change sim variable yet though, as although its listed in the variable list, its not listed in the simconnect variable list. I'll check it tomorrow.

Pushback Offsets Don't React To Values Being Written
John Dowson replied to FPVSteve's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
I'll update to handle the change in values - I'll post a version to test sometime tomorrow. -
VOR and other frequencies not populated
John Dowson replied to Enrico Schiratti's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
Yes, the VOR NAV1/NAV2 frequencies in 0x0350 and 0x0352 (for active, presume same issue with standby), aren't populated until the frequencies are changed or set. Most probably an MSFS issue, but I'll check and report to Asobo if needed. -
VOR and other frequencies not populated
John Dowson replied to Enrico Schiratti's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
Hi Enrico - which offset are you referring to? -

Which aircraft are you using? Have you seen this thread - maybe it helps: For the A320, there are known issues with AP ALT LOCK VAR - see

You can create an empty profile. Click Preset Manager and then + (New). Give the profile a new and then you are done and have an empty profile.

[solved] P3Dv5 crashes when FSUIPC6 is active
John Dowson replied to aurel42's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
It could be a corrupt weather file. Try adding NoWeatherAtAll=Yes to the [General] section of your FSUIPC6.ini file. If that works, you have a corrupt weather (*.wx) file, or more usually the wxstationlist.bin file - try deleting that from your APP Data\Roaming P3D5 folder if it is there. It will be regenerated the next time you run P3Dv5. -
There are no facilities in MSFS to start external programs at the moment, and its still not clear if such facilities will be provided. If/when they are, I will provide an installer to start FSUIPC7 automatically with MSFS. You could start the GFDevESP.exe automatically with FSUIPC7 - check the section Programs: facilities to load and run additional programs in the FSUIPC Advanced User Manual.

You also didn't mention the FSUIPC or sim version. If the question is about FSUIPC7-Beta / MSFS, then you should post in the specific sub-forum for that product: https://forum.simflight.com/forum/183-fsuipc7-beta-for-msfs/
-
FSUIPC7 cannot cause the sim to crash in normal use - this is one of the benefits of it being in an exe (separate process) rather than a dll. I suspect that its MSFS that is crashing, and when it does it will close FSUIPC7 if you have 'Exit with FS' set, which is set by default. You can test this by de-selecting that option from the Options menu. The FSUIPC7.log file would also indicate a crash if it has not closed properly. You can also check the windows event log which would tell you what crashed.

OFFSET CONDITIONS WITH BEACON LIGHTS
John Dowson replied to codatcri's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Yes, bit values are 1,2,4,8,etc, so best to always use =0 and !0 for testing them. No, this is the right way to set up a switch to be properly synchronised. -
I was talking about MSFS, not FSUIPC7. I haven't found a way of loading a flight plan in MSFS (without FSUIPC7) once you have started a flight, without restarting. If you go to the 'esc' menu and select 'Load/Save', I can only select .flt files, not plans.
-
No, as the ini has nothing to do with registration, its the .key file that you need to update. Well, thats because there is no installer for FSUIPC7 at the moment! Instructions on how to register your WideFS key are included in the release note and also the provided README.txt file (included in the downloadable zip file). Please see one of those for details.
-
Yes, it looks like the route isn't updated in the MFD when you load a new flight plan. Its not an FSUIPC7 issue though, so you should raise this directly with MSFS via their support forums. Btw, I have also noticed that you can't seem to load/change a flight plan directly in MSFS without going back to the main menus and restarting. The Load/Save option seems to be restricted to flights (.FLT) and doesn't allow for changing the flight plan...

OFFSET CONDITIONS WITH BEACON LIGHTS
John Dowson replied to codatcri's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
By the way, it seems pretty pointless using the offset condition on a toggle control on the same button. If the bit is set, it will send the toggle using one assignment, and if it's not set, it will send the same toggle control using the other assignment. So the same toggle control gets sent either way. Its the same as only having one assignment with no offset condition! -
OFFSET CONDITIONS WITH BEACON LIGHTS
John Dowson replied to codatcri's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
0D0C is 2 bytes, so you need 4 hex digits for the mask. Also, Beacon is the 2nd bit in the first byte, so the offset condition would be ...W0D0C&0002=0 and ...W0D0C&0002!0... (or just ...W0D0C&0002...) You can (probably) use as a byte, by using ....B0D0C&02=0 and ...B0D0C&02 Btw, you should delete lines 449 and 451. Looks like these were assigned to controls that no longer exist. -
MSFS 2020 Boeing 787 autopilot heading offsets
John Dowson replied to AlMassimo's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
Ah, the luacom.dll! Sorry, I know nothing about that - its a 3rd party lua library. I thought you were referring to the lua com library, built in to FSUIPC. It seems that the luacom.dll is 32-bit and won't work in a 64-bit process. You could maybe try a workaround for UDP sockets posted here: -
@LarryD Just noticed that you posted in the main support forum. There is a separate sub-forum for FSUIPC7-Beta/MSFS. Please use that sub-forum for future posts in FSUIPC7-Beta. I'll move this post to that sub-forum. John

Hi Bernd, First, you posted in the FAQ sub-forum, where it states 'NOT for support requests'. Please post support requests in the correct forum, which is usually the main support forum. How are you assigning the throttles? For PMDG Boeings, you should assign to FS controls and not calibrate in FSUIPC. The PMDG aircraft intercept the FS controls, in the same way as FSUIPC does for calibration, and use them directly. If you use “Direct to ...” (or even FS controls and then calibrate in FSUIPC) then after calibration FSUIPC sends the controls on to the sim at a lower priority level (to avoid the infinite loop). This results in two, probably different, values arriving in the sim and maybe at slightly different times, causing issues. Therefore please check your axes assignments and use 'Send to FS as normal axis' and do not calibrate in FSUIPC. You may also want to check the calibration of the two throttles in the windows game controllers panel to make sure they are calibrated the same. Regards, John Later: also check that you don't have throttle axes assigned in the sim. Best to disable controllers completely in the sim if you are assigning everything in FSUIPC.

Sounds like an MSFS issue, but I'll look into it and get back to you.
