In FSUIPC? Your ini file shows no assignments. Its basically empty. Did you install the saitek drivers? If so, you need to uninstall these first. Disconnect all your devices, uninstall any associated devices from the device manager, reboot your PC and then reconnect your devices. If you still get duplicate devices, you will have to clean your registry. Regards, John

Start a command prompt, change directory to your WideClient folder, then list the contents of that directory. There must be a log file there, as well as an ini.

Sorry, I don't understand. You get that message from running the 'Install FSUIPC5.exe' program? That is not possible. That is the error you get when you try and run WideClient on a PC where FSUIPC is already running (i.e. in P3D) or WideClient is already running.

You can register WideFS with a different email address but I'm not sure about the name. Did you try re-running the installer to register WideFS with the details from your registration email? If not, please try that first. If this doesn't work, if you PM both your FSUIPC5 and WideFS registrations to me, I'll see if I can generate you a new key for WideFS with your FSUIPC5 details

The link is the dll (but renamed) - download it and rename to FSUIPC5.dll and then copy it to your Modules folder and overwrite the existing dll. John

Clicking 'set' sets the numbers! So, move your joystick fully to the left, then click the left set button and the minimum number will be set, then move fully to the right and click the right set button to set the maximum. Center/null zone can be set by holding your joystick slightly off-centre to the left and right (i.e. two more clicks). This is all explained in the user manual.

Sorry, I'm referring to the Windows event log. Start the Event Viewer (you can find it from the search box in the Start menu) and look under Windows Logs -> Application. There should be an Error event there at the time of the WideClient crash, and possibly some other events at the same time. Copy any events at the time of the crash and post them. Oh, and for the WideClient log, ignore my previous advice (wrong option, sorry!), you want to enable Hide extensions for known file types in your folder options. John

Hi Peter, the log files are probably hidden by windows. Got to Control Panel -> Appearance and Personalization -> Folder Options and make sure that you have 'Show hidden files and folders' selected. John P.S. And don't forget to check the event log!

Hi Dinesh, Well, if you can run Matlab on the same PC as P3D and 'connect' using FSUIPC, then WideFS would allow you to do the same running Matlab on a second PC. I can't advise further as I don't know Matlab - how does it interface/connect to FSUIPC? If you are writing your own client, it may be better to use the SimConnect or PDK interfaces directly to P3D. John

Hi Claudio, assuming you are referring to the PMDG 737, you need to use the 'custom controls' option in the drop-down. See this FAQ thread for details: John

That last post was not correct - I don't know what the reference frame was in FS2004, so it may be the same! I'll add and post a version here when available for you to test.

Hi Luke, are you sure that its the 'EYEPOINT POSITION' that you require? This is defined as the 'eyepoint position relative to the reference datum position for the aircraft', and is in feet. Previously this was a latitude/longitude/altitude, so the reference frame (and units) for this is quite different from FS2004. Is this ok?

Hi Paul. I've moved this to your sub-forum, as requested. Regards, John

Yes. it includes all the latest updates. I'll probably release next week as 5.152 with another additional (minor) change.

Here's the version with the fix (5.151d): FSUIPC5.txt

Hi all, a quick update and new version to try: FSUIPC5.txt This version contains a workaround, hopefully, and not and actual fix. Please report back if this works for you and doesn't have any other issues. There is a memory corruption somewhere and its proving difficult to track down. Whether this AI Slew/CTD problem occurs or not depends upon the memory arrangement of each build. Of course, this implies that just because this problem doesn't occur, it doesn't mean that there still isn't a memory corruption issue, just that its moved to some other place, which is worrying....! We will be continuing to investigate this issue to determine the source of the corruption. Its still not clear if this is caused by FSUIPC or P3D itself. Cheers, John

The newlines go in the format string, so something like string.format("%-3s\n%-6s\n%-5s ", str_var1, str_var2, str_var3)

Hi Tasso, not sure what you mean by this. This knob must be that operated by the following controls: TRUE AIRSPEED CAL DEC 65886 TRUE AIRSPEED CAL INC 65885 TRUE AIRSPEED CAL SET 66043 There is currently no offset available for reading the calibration value. There is a SIMVAR available: AIRSPEED TRUE CALIBRATE Angle of “True” calibration scale on airspeed indicator Degrees Y but this is not currently published to the FSUIPC offsets. I could add for FSUIPC5 (P3D), but FSUIPC4 is closed for future development - sorry. John

Hi Peter, Presume you mean WideClient, which is part of WideFS. It may be that the network (or other services) may not be available yet when auto starting. Do you have anything in your event log? Could you also try adding Log=Debugall to the [user] section of your WideClient.ini (or add the [user] section if not already there). Then post the log when you get the crash. The log file may be quite large but zips up nicely. John

Ah yes, I remember now - thanks Roman. There's a similar post but for spot view, so this thread may be of interest:

If you are assigning as 'Send direct to FSUIPC Calibration', as you say, then you should see the following throttle controls: Throttle, Throttle/SlewAlt, Throttle1, Throttle2, Throttle3, Throttle4. The 'Axis Throttle Set' controls are only available when you send direct to FS. As Reinhard says, some add-ons do not play well with FSUIPC calibration and for these you should use 'Send to FS as normal axis'. John

No, I don't think you can assign to change to a specific view. Generally you assign a button to the 'VIEW_MODE' control, which will cycle through the 7 view modes (Cockpit, Outside, Tower, Aircraft, Runway, Air Traffic and Sensor) and then another to the 'NEXT_SUB_VIEW', which cycles through the sub-views of the selected view mode. As the controls provided only allow you to cycle through the different modes, I don't think its possible to toggle to a specific view.

No problem - glad its all now working for you. John

Sounds like you have a corrupt weather file somewhere. Usually its the wxstationlist.bin file, in the same directory as your fsx.cfg file. Try deleting/renaming that first - a new one should be created when you restart the sim.
