Sorry, what do you mean? To send key presses via offsets?

FSUIPC and TCA QUADRANT with Aerosoft A318/A321
John Dowson replied to styves's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
@styves When attaching logs, always attach the full log (zipped if too big), not a continuation log, as there is information that is missing from continuation logs that I need to see (what aircraft you have loaded, for example). Your log does show that the parameters for your axis controls are all zero, which is very strange . Do you see the in/out numbers changing when you move your throttle with the Axis Assignment tab open in FSUIPC? Also, did you try moving the throttle in the UI (with the mouse)? What does the FSUIPC4.log show when you do this? John -
MSFS VOR CRS Tuning
John Dowson replied to cavaricooper's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Also, for this issue, please see this post: This topic is now locked. John -
Hi Al, could you create a post in the User Contributions section, and add your lua scripts to that - they will have more visibility there. I fixed the event.cancel() function yesterday but still need to test. Once I've done that, I'll post a copy here for you to test and adjust your scripts. John

There are now specific scripts for handling buttons > 32 for the Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo - you may be better off using these: hidBravoButtons.luahidAlphaButtons.lua I will add these to the lua plug-in examples for the next release. Really - you did say 'and placed it in my Modules folder', which is where it goes (i.e. your FSUIPC installation folder, wherever that is). Anyway, glad its now working. You are using an old unsupported version if FSUIPC5. Only the latest version is supported, please update to v5.157 (see www.fsuipc.com). John

FSUIPC7 is for MSFS ONLY. You need FSUIPC4 for FSX/FSX-SE. Also, I would think that if it is for use with a 3rd party program you don't need a license, you will probably be ok with the free/unregistered version (although I don't know FS Commander). You can get FSUIPC4 to try from www.fsuipc.com. John

FSUIPC and TCA QUADRANT with Aerosoft A318/A321
John Dowson replied to styves's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
What about the logging I suggested - what is logged when you move the throttle with the mouse in the UI? -
I have no idea, sorry. We don't support x-plane, thats XPUIPC, from a different developer. John

have to hit reload all buttons every time
John Dowson replied to dave g's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Is this for all devices, or for a specific device? Most of your button assignments seem to be on the T.16000M only, with a few on your Flight Throttle Quadrant. The first thing to check is that you have power management disabled on your hubs, to prevent them from sleeping. Also check that USB2 devices are connected to USB2 ports, as if not this can sometimes cause such issues, and that if you are using external hubs then they are properly powered. This error is quite strange and indicates that your 2-axis 4-button gamepad was not useable when started, although it was acquired for use. You also have duplicate registry entries for that device (ID 4), but that's only a warning so we'll ignore that for now. These errors are strange (but unrelated your issue). I will look into those. Could you also try with the attached version (v6.0.12c), which will be the next release. It has a minor correction in the controller scanning where it will not acquire a device for use if it is not connected:FSUIPC6.dll Your [JoyNames] section is also confusing, as most of your devices have multiple entries with different GUIDs. Make a safe copy of your FSUIPC6.ini, then replace your [JoyNames] section with the following: You have one general button assignment to device 'F' which has now been removed: 1=PF,3,K122,9 -{Key press: shft+F11}- You can change this to 1=PB,3,K122,9 -{Key press: shft+F11}- or remove completely, as you have the same assignment to your T16000: 2=PA,3,K122,9 -{Key press: shft+F11}- John -
MSFS VOR CRS Tuning
John Dowson replied to cavaricooper's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
@cavaricooper So you have a Honeycomb Alpha? Yes, there are known issues with the Alpha and the heading bug increment due to the continually firing buttons/switches, but people are using FSUIPC to get around this, so if using FSUIPC you should be ok. Or do you still have assignments to the alpha in MSFS? If so, maybe remove those. As I said, there are several posts on this topic already (but probably hard to find) - check the FSUIPC7/MSFS sub-forum. John -
FSUIPC and TCA QUADRANT with Aerosoft A318/A321
John Dowson replied to styves's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Yes, but the SimConnect interface used by FSX isn't that different from the P3Dv4/5 SimConnect, so should still apply. Still, post those files with the logging and I'll take a look. Also try moving the throttle with the mouse to see what that logs. And try with a default aircraft - or is it just an issue with the A318/A321? John -
FSUIPC and TCA QUADRANT with Aerosoft A318/A321
John Dowson replied to styves's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Ok. Then I need to see your FSUIPC4.ini, and also an FSUIPC4.log file, with your aircraft loaded, axis logging enabled, and move your throttle through its full range and back again. Is this just a problem with the A318/A321 add-on? Or is it a general problem with the TCA throttle quadrant? If its a problem with the throttle quadrant or airbus interaction, I think you would be better off asking on the Aerosoft forums, as I don't have that device or the Aerosoft Airbuses. I see there is this long ongoing thread over on the aerosoft forums (which I haven't got time to read, sorry!) which may help, I don't know: https://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/156444-tca-support-for-the-aerosoft-busses-and-update-schedule/ John -

@jorge moreyra Is your issue solved? If so, what was the problem? If not, can you please respond to my previous message. Thanks, John -
Setting and reading nosewheel position
John Dowson replied to Flygard's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
@Flygard Could you try the attached version please. I have added GEAR CENTER STEER ANGLE only for the time being, at offset 0x0BF8 as a 4 byte float (F32). Its a 'percent over 100' value, so should give values between +1 and -1, although during a quick test I have seen values between -1.35 and + 1.3 and I'm not sure why. If the values where between +1 and -1, I could convert them to an integer in the -16383 to +16383 range (and reduce to a 2-byte int), but as I get values outside of this range I've just left the raw value for now. FSUIPC6.dll John -
@B77X I cannot duplicate your issue. However, I have made some minor updates in the following version (to only ask if you want to import the General axes when creating a New profile), so could you try with this version please and let me know how it goes: FSUIPC6.dll

MSFS VOR CRS Tuning
John Dowson replied to cavaricooper's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
I have seen this but am extremely busy. I will look into it when I have time. However, note that the very same issue was recently reported and solved, I believed. So, as you are in a rush, please try to find the previous post for this issue and see if that helps. -
FSUIPC and TCA QUADRANT with Aerosoft A318/A321
John Dowson replied to styves's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Also, I would advise you to either change AutoAssignLetters=No to AutoAssignLetters=Yes Or to assign your own JoyLetters. This will prevent issues if your joystick ids change - please see the FSUIPC user guide. -
FSUIPC and TCA QUADRANT with Aerosoft A318/A321
John Dowson replied to styves's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Can you explain what you mean by this please. If you move your throttle, do you see the axis in the axis dialog? I presume so, as you do have a throttle axis assignemnt in your a318af profile. Note also that that profile is only assigned to this one aircraft: 1=Airbus A318 British Airways G-EUNA So will only wotk with an exact (substring) match on that string. You probably want to change that to 1=Airbus A318 or even just 1=A318 And if you want the same profile for the A321, you need to add 2=A321 (but you may want to set that up in a separate profile, I don't know). Also, you are using v4.974. This is out-of-date and no longer supported. Please update to 4.975. John P.S. I see you are also using Linda...if you are using Linda for your assignments, then you will need the Linda support forum. Otherwise you should disable this for the time being. -
have to hit reload all buttons every time
John Dowson replied to dave g's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
No, as I have no idea what version of FSUIPC you are using or even what FS you are using. Please try and specify your issue in more detail (so that I can reproduce), and preferably with a default aircraft. Also please attach your .log and .ini files if you post again. John -
FSUIPC and TCA QUADRANT with Aerosoft A318/A321
John Dowson replied to styves's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
We cannot help if we do not know what your issue is. Please describe your issue, what you have tried, and attach any appropriate files - we at least need to see you FSUIPC4.ini file. John -
FSUIPC Crashing FSX:SE
John Dowson replied to RetiredFE's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
@Ardriax I don't understand what you posted, and why are you hijacking a problem that doesn't seem to be related to your issue? Can you at least attach your installation log and you FSUIPC4.log file (if there is one), and explain what you mean by 'wont load the fsuipc even in admin mode'. Do you mean that you cannot see FSUIPC in the add-ons menu? Does FSX (or FSX-SE - I don't even know which sim you are using!) run or does it crash? You also seem to be using an old unsupported version of FSUIPC4. Please update to the latest version 4.975 (or 4.975a) before posting again. John -
Ok, sorry, you are using 6.0.12b - I checked your log you PM'ed me. I've been playing around trying to get it to crash or delete/remove an axis section and haven't managed to find any issues so far. Could you try again please and if this happens let me know exactly what you did (i.e. did you import the 'general\ axis or not, did you save when asked or not, etc). Thanks, John
-
I'm slightly confused - aren't you using the 6.0.12 a/b version posted earlier in this thread? If not, please try that one. There is/was a long-standing bug that resulted in the general axis section being cleared in versions prior to 6.0.11. I corrected this in the 6.0.11 release (or thought I had), but this "correction" resulted in axes being lost in other situations, so I corrected for this in the 6.0.12a (or b) release posted earlier. However, I believe the original problem still exists in this version which I will investigate when I have time, and will release the final fix for this in the official 6.0.12 release. This is getting even more confusing now with @B77X saying that P3D is now crashing but with no crash event. Could you please let me know which version you are using, and if using 6.0.11 then please update to 6.0.12a or b. I have quite a back-log of support requests to get through, so please be patient. John

Not 100% sure what you mean, but the FS version can be read from offset 0x3124, with values: FSX: 1 to 4 for the RTM, SP1, SP2 and Acc versions, respectively FSX-SE: 101 to 109 (etc) for builds 62607 to 62615 (etc) P3Dv1: 10 to 14 for versions 1.0 to 1.4 (but versions before 1.4 not supported). P3Dv2: 20 to 25 for versions 2.0 to 2.5 P3Dv3: 30 to 32 (etc) for versions 3.0 to 3.2 (etc) P3Dv4: 40 to 45 (etc) for versions 4.0 to 4.5 (etc) P3Dv5: 50 for version 5.0 MSFS: 110 John

FSUIPC7 doesn't work with FSX / FSX-SE
John Dowson replied to RachelG's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
FSUIPC7 is for MSFS ONLY, as stated on the sales page. For FSX and FSX-SE, you need FSUIPC4. You can download and try each version (as unregistered) from www.fsuipc.com.
