Yes, you will automatically get a 10euro discount when you purchase from SimMarket, as advertised on the sales page: John

Difficult to tell without further information. Could you activate event and button logging and produce a short log file showing your problem, and attach that as well as your FSUIPC7.ini file and I'll take a look.

Ok. Thanks for the update.

Yes. And this is the expected behavior, as described by Thomas in a previous post. I also proposed a couple of work-arounds for this - maybe you can review those suggestions? I'm not familiar with Mobiflight, but I see Thomas has just responded.... Was the initial problem with the control due to the FBW mod then? If so, maybe let them know. John

Ok. That maybe thats the reason for the difference....although I hope not. If so, I think you need to report to the FBW developers.

I'm slightly confused by this now. Now I understand that you are using an unregistered version, so only the offsets are available (and not direct assignments). In the current released version, offset 0x2F80 is not available, but should be ok in v7.0.3c that I posted earlier. Are you sure you are using that version? If you can see the control (with the correct parameter) being sent, you must be. But I have no idea why this works for me and not for you. Are you using the A320Neo FBW mod by any chance?

Don't do that just to test this....I can provide you with a temporary license to test if needed....

FSUIPC only recognises HID joystick type devices directly for assignments. Other HID type devices can be programmed using lua. So it depends how your device is recognised by Windoiws...sorry I can't be of more help. There are plenty of arduino users using FSUIPC, so maybe they can help with that.

Ah, ok. But writing to the offsets via mobiflight should have the same result. Sorry, that was wrong. As above, it should be 0=low, 1=off, 2=low, 3=med, 4=hi.

Then I don't understand. If the control is sent with the correct parameters (0=low, 1=off, 2=med, 3=hi) (1=off, 0 or 2=low, 3=med, 4=hi), then this works in the A320Neo, as long as the autobrake buttons are active. Maybe you can try the same controls just using FSUIPC (i.e. without mobiflight) to see if that works.

Ah, ok. Then the additional offset won't help. However, sending the controls (with parameters as previously mentioned) works for me, as do the inc/dec controls (and the MSFS only hi/med/lo ones). I'm not sure why you can't send to the sim, but presume this must be related to your mobiflight configuration which I can't really help with I'm afraid. You could try logging events (as well as buttons and switches maybe) to see what is being sent.

@asessa Would you like me to add that additional read-only offset to reflect the true autobrake setting? Alternatively, I could add a new ini parameter (allowed in both the the [General] and also the [Profile.xxx] sections) that when set would ignore the simvar update to 0 received after a non-zero value was set, so the current offset should hold the correct value. But, both changes would come with a warning as the value may not always reflect the correct setting in all situations (e.g. if you start FSUIPC7 the initial setting will be unknown), but should correct itself one a Set Autobrake Control was sent. Let me know.

Ok, thanks Thomas. I'll increase the value of the allowed parameter for the write to that offset to 6. @asessa If you (or anybody else) would like the the additional offset to show the current autobrake setting for the A320Neo then let me know, although thus wouldn't be able to show the correct value in all situations. I'll also raise a zendesk ticket to see if anything can be added to reflect the current autobrake setting.

Hi Thomas, So 6 is now the max value? For offset 0x2f80, FSUIPC currently only allows for a max value of 5. Can you confirm this and I will update to 6 (although this offset is currently disabled for writing, its activated in v7.0.3c posted above). Ok, yes - they need a simvar to hold the actual state if the current one cannot be used. Do you think it worth adding another read-only offset to show the actual autobrake state (derived from0x2F80 but ignoring the second reset to zero) to handle this for the A320?

It seems that when you try to change the value to anything other than 0 or 1, it automatically changes back to 0 afterwards. I will raise this with Asobo. I guess I could ignore this second update (back to 0), but that would mean that FSUIPC7 is not displaying the value that the sim variable holds, so I'm not sure this is a good idea. I could add another offset, which would display the autobrake setting as determined by fsuipc (i.e. updated as offset 0x2F80 but ignoring any second control setting this parameter to 0). For the time being, I'll post about this on the asobo forums and maybe raise a zendesk ticket, depending upon the response. John

Ok, took another look when in the air (and the buttons active). It seems that the control/offset is working, but with some peculiarities. Sending the Set Autobrake control with the following parameters results in the following actions: param 1 - autobrake off, offset holds 1 param 0 - autobrake low, offset holds 0 param 2 - autobrake low, offset changes to 2 then back to 0 param 3 - autobrake medium, offset changes to 3 then back to 0 param 4 - autobrake high, offset changes to 4 then back to 0 When a param of 2,3 or 4 is sent, I can also see a second Set Autobrake Control being sent with a parameter of 0. Not sure where this is coming from at the moment, I will investigate but this is probably the cause of the offset not holding the correct value, even though the control has actually changed the autobrake setting. The incr/decr controls also work, as do the MSFS set hi/low/med controls. So thats the same as what I have found, This I don't understand. All work ok in FSUIPC, except for the offset status not reflecting the correct state, which seems to be due to the additional control being sent. I don't think FSUIPC is sending this, but I'll check.

Just took a look at the Neo and it looks like the autobrake control is not currently working, or at least its not updating the AUTO BRAKE SWIOTCH CB variable. I'm not familiar with the A320 so I can't tell what the current autobrake setting is, even after clicking on the Auto Brk Lo/Med/Max switches, Updating the offset will send the control (although I don't know if this has any effect), but sending the control won't be reflected in the offset being updated (as the sim var is not updated). I will raise a zendesk ticket for this. There are also a few other controls available that I have also tried which have the same effect: Decrease Autobrake Control Increase Autobrake Control There are also the following additional controls available only in MSFS: Set Autobrake Hi Set Autobrake Med Set Autobrake Lo You can try these (in MSFS) to see if they work for the A320Neo. If so, you can assign a keypress to them (in MSFS), and then assign your buttons/switches to those keypresses in FSUIPC/mobiflight. Where can I see what the current autobrake setting is in the A320Neo - should the lights on the switches turn on?

Did you try running FSUIPC7 after doing this? It shouldn't uninstall earlier versions.... It shouldn't make a difference installing individually oir installing the combo pack (if installing the correct versions). If its still not working, uninstall 2015, 2017 and 2019 and try again with the combo pack.

You go into the windows settings, select Apps, and uninstall from there.:

WideFS is a separate product - you do not get a key for WideFS7 when purchasing FSUIPC7. Yes, its a different product. If you previously purchased WideFS7, your key is still valid. You can retrieve it from your SimMarket account. It has never been 'included' with FSUIPC, although I think that there may have been a bundle offer where you could purchase FSUIPC + WideFS together for a discount on the total individual price. John

As before, check the SDK. There are no key input events for those keys. The > is mapped, but to 0x6E (with a shift), so I could add a similar hack to get this key working. The < results in no events, so I can't do anything with that. But I really don't want to start hacking for individual keys. You should restrict your assignments to those keys available. John

Yes - FSUIPC recognises the modifier keys directly from the windows API and doesn't use SimConnect key input events for these. John

Its from mobiflight. FSUIPC nly has one offset for each gear wheel which gives the deflection as a percentage. Presumably its just the gear left/center/right position offsets that you have already mentioned. Try monitoring them to see how they change when you retract or extract the landing gear. I would have thought that a value of 0/100 would be retracted/fully extracted (or vice versa) and a value in between would be when it is extracting or retracting. Ok, good. A full list of events is generated by FSUIPC7 and placed in your Documents/FSUIPC7 folder when you run FSUIPC7, called Controls List for MSFS Build 999.txt (999 is the current minor build number). The MSFS documentation is in the SDK - you need to download and install the SDK to access the documentation. If you want to do this, see https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/how-to-getting-started-with-the-sdk-dev-mode/123241 John P.S. The offsetStatus spreadsheet also lists the simulator variables used for each offset (in column G), where appropriate, and at the end also contains a list of other available simulator variables currently not requested.

Do not delete, but uninstall. Yes, but uninstall 2017 not delete. When you uninstall or install, it applies to both versions. You probably also need the 2019 versions, which should be installed after the 2017. Its not that difficult - they just need to be installed in the correct order. As you have the 2017 installed and not the 2015, you have to uninstall the 2017 before installing the 2015, and then re-install the 2017 after you have installed the 2015. No - why would you want to do this?

Sorry, of course you are using FSUIPC6 and not FSUIPC7.
