Axis Doesn't Start Working until I Open/Close Axes Settings
John Dowson replied to pilotjohn's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
@pilotjohn Could you please try the attached version and let me know if that helps/solves your issue, thanks. FSUIPC7.exe -
FSUIPC7 intermittent disconnects: TransmitClientEvent failures
John Dowson replied to roniish's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
That seems strange to me. I don't have any PFC devices so cannot advise. I'll leave Pete (or Thomas) to respond to this. However, it seems to me that your throttle is detected as a standard USB hid device, so I don't think you need them (if you don't have any other PFC devices). Maybe at least try without those, to be sure. -
There looks to be a problem with the request for keyboard input which I am currently investigating. The problem seems to be with the mapping from the MSFS defined key input strings and the MS VK codes. Looks like I misunderstood this when I implemented, so I'm checking now and will provide an update once done.

FSUIPC7 intermittent disconnects: TransmitClientEvent failures
John Dowson replied to roniish's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
With TransmitClientEvent failures reported in the FSUIPC7.log file? -
Axis Doesn't Start Working until I Open/Close Axes Settings
John Dowson replied to pilotjohn's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
Ok. Seems strange as I've never encountered this issue, and stop and start MSFS with FSUIPC7 continually running all the time. However, I'll add an additional axes scanning request once MSFS starts, to see if this solves that issue. I'll post an update shortly. -
FSUIPC7 intermittent disconnects: TransmitClientEvent failures
John Dowson replied to roniish's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
@pilotjohn ok. But you have reported your issue in a different thread. Your issue is distinct from this issue, which has been identified as a SimConnect error that is causing the disconnect, known by having TransmitClientEvent failures noted in the log. There are currently lots of issues with SimConnect (and many in FSUIPC7, i'm sure), but it does not help me in the investigation when cross-posting your issues to different topics/posts. Could you please refrain from doing this, and post in the topic relevant to your problem. So, if you do not see any 'TransmitClientEvent' failures in your log, please do not add or follow the advice in this thread. It just causes confusion. Thanks. I will update the title of this thread to make this thread more specific to this issue. John -
What update? If you edit a previous post, you need to check the 'show the message has been updated' checkbox and specify the reason in the provided text entry field, otherwise it is not noticed.
-
I'm checking this and will get back to you at some point, but it may take a while.
-
Ah, ok. Thanks for letting us know.

FSUIPC7 intermittent disconnects: TransmitClientEvent failures
John Dowson replied to roniish's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
I'm not sure, which is why I am asking for you to check. is that the config you have when you experience this issue? If so, then no. But if your assignments were previously different, then please check again with those assignments (presuming each of those axes is also calibrated in FSUIPC7 - if not, do that first). -
@ark1320 I've just tested the numeric keypad input and it looks like FSUIPC is not receiving the input events for these keys. Not sure yet if this is an MSFS or FSUIPC problem, I'll take a look. In the mean time, I suggest you assign to other keys. John
-
That log file shows nothing, not even any key presses, although you have Button & key logging activated. Are you sure that either MSFS or FSUIPC7 has got the focus during your tests? Can you also update to the latest FSUIPC7 build, with date 08/09/2020. Thanks.

FSUIPC7 intermittent disconnects: TransmitClientEvent failures
John Dowson replied to roniish's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
Ok, this is normal when using the PFC dlls and is nothing to worry about. -
This is not the case anymore. ou can assign in both MSFS or FSUIPC7. Just make sure that you don't assign the same axis (or button/switch/keypress) both in MSFS and FSUIPC7. Its probably a good idea to create a 'FSUIPC profile'. But this can have assignments and doesn't necessarily have to be empty. John
-
Can you check if this is calibrated in FSUIPC7. If so, remove the calibration. Or, alternatively, change assignment to ;direct to FSUIPC calibration' instead. Also, check that you don't have auto-rudder enabled (presuming this is an option in MSFS, as it was in FSX/P3D).
-
I doubt it. I've just checked my install (deluxe steam version), and all aircraft have an aircraft.cfg except the following: Baron G58 C152 Aerobat C172sp-classic DA40-TDI DV-20 Longitude Pipistrel Savage Shock Ultra SR-22

SPAD will not allow you to assign in FSUIPC - it has its own interface. You need to uninstall the Saitek software, and I think also the drivers, so please try that. Note that when you had this working in FSUIPC4, you must have been using something else other than just FSUIPC4. Images of text are not very helpful.

FSUIPC7 intermittent disconnects: TransmitClientEvent failures
John Dowson replied to roniish's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
Could those who experience the disconnect due to the SimConnect issue (with TransmitClientEvent failures) please check their ini/assignments. It seems that there is an issue when assigning to the FS control (i.e. not direct to FSUIPC calibration) but then calibrating in FSUIPC7. If you do this, can you either update to 'direct to FSUIPC calibration' and calibrate, or if you sent to the FS directly, then delete the calibration in FSUIPC7. Thanks. -
Axis Doesn't Start Working until I Open/Close Axes Settings
John Dowson replied to pilotjohn's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
Please note that there are known issues with flight loading at the moment, so use this feature at your own risk. I'll take a look at your logs later and get back to you, but could you check your MSFS settings in relation to this, as reported in similar post (FSUIPC7 Control problem): John -
Did you not read the announcement or the README.txt file provided in the xip: John

FSUIPC7 intermittent disconnects: TransmitClientEvent failures
John Dowson replied to roniish's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
@zkiwi, @jaxx& @Fremmed Thanks for the logs. I;ll take a look, but no need to provide any more at this stage. Uoi can stop the logging now (SimConnect + FSUIPC). I also released a new build yesterday. This has the automatic re-connect in and also (hopefully) fixes the crash that this introduced - please download and try this version. Report back if it re-connects and continues working please (or if it doesn't!), bit no more logs needed at the moment for this. @N987PL Your issue is not related to the SimConnect error. I see you are using both the PFCcom and PFChid drivers - do you need both? Your PFC throttle is also recognised as a standard USB device, so that shouldn't need either driver. This is also very strange: 2408781 Attempt to set external joystick assigns refused Not sure what this means at the moment, I'll check, bit maybe you can determine which driver you actually need,, if any. -
It looks like there is a new simvar for this - TRANSPONDER_STATE: Its also documented as read/write, but looks to be only readable at the moment. I'll find a free offset and add this, but it won't be writeable until this has been corrected in the SDK/ SimConnect. John

You do not have any keys assigned in FSUIPC7. You don't have any buttons or switches assigned in FSUIPC7 either. Your log file doesn't show much. Could you activate logging for Axes Controls in FSUIPC7. Once activated, exit FSUIPC7 and restart . Load an aircraft and then move your throttle through its full range, from 0 to full and then back to 0. Then open and close the axes assignments dialog and repeat. Send me the logs. There is currently another support request from a user with a similar problem, although his throttle (also mixture/prop) starts working after he has opened and closed the axes assignment dialog, which is why I would like you to also try this. See Probably also worth trying with a different aircraft as well, although it works fine here with the TBM 930. John

Your log file doesn't show anything as FSUIPC7 was not connected to MSFS. Was MSFS running? What do you see in the title bar of FSUIPC7? When you start FSUIPC7, it should initially have the title 'FSUIPC7: Simulator not detected'. When it detects MSFS, this should change to 'FSUIPC7: Simulator is available: Trying to connect....', with a log entry of 'Simulator detected'. And when FSUIPC7 connects, this changes to 'FSUIPC7: Simulator is available: Connected'. So, I am surprised that anything works!
