Can these mobiflight events implemented in the wasm module also be "reach" via standard SimConnect Events?
What is the protocol or methods used to access and trigger any of these new event from a SImConnect Client?
So, not using FSUIPC but SimConnect directly? You can use them as any other client event by registering them using the SimConnect_MapClientEventToSimEvent function, using IDs in the appropriate custom event range.

i execute my installer it crash. Any idea how to fix it?
First, please download the latest zip package and try again.
If it still crashes, please provide more details - when does it crash? Do you see anything at all when you run the installer?John

I see that we can delete events from the .evt file if we don't need them, can we cut and paste events from one .evt file to another? Does that work?
Sure - you can create your own event file just for the events needed. Just make sure that that the events have consecutive index numbers and max of 256 events (0-255) per file.
As I mentioned in a previous post, I think it would be better to create an event file for each device (e.g. G1000.evt, G3000.evt, etc), and then just add the ones for the systems you use. I guess I could also look into making the [EventFiles] ini section profile specific if different event files will be used for different profiles.
And make sure that you do this before you assign to the events, or changing event files when you already have assignments will make previous assignments invalid.

For the version I am running fsuipc6 ver 6.0.8
That's also out-of-date - latest version is v6.0.12 (just released), so can you please also update that.

Where do I find the WASM module? Tried to Download MobiFlight and did an update, but Windows 10 block the update and MobiFlight module just stops working.
Just follow the instructions in the link posted above. If you have issues with Windows Defender (or any other antivirus software) blocking you, then just temporarily disable until you have it installed.

the control is 70022.
Are the parameters you are using for those controls correct? Can you check that (and let me know what header file you are using, as I asked, so I can see if I have a copy somewhere....): I guess these are the controls that are giving the problem:

So I do not understand why that's is happenning.
No, me neither - I can't see any assignments to that control in either your general assignments or the profile assignments for that aircraft. Maybe these are events that the PMDG aircraft use internally and can be ignored - if thats the case, you could use the DontLogThese ini parameter to ignore these (also available for Profiles).
Could you active logging for Buttins & Keys, and produce another log file please, so I can see what buttons you are pressing to send the controls.
Also, let me know which are the log entries produced when you use the mouse/UI to change the values.Also, you have controllers active in P3D:
1906 Controllers are set to ON, using RawInput within P3DCan you either disable controllers in P3D, or check that you don't have any assignments there.

I would like too adjust the buttons to change the function once the aircraft is in the air ex: the buttons that I used to put the parking brake in the air I would like to used to adjust lights.
That should be straightforward by using an 'offset condition' on your button assignment (on offset 0x0366 - please see the advanced user guide for details.
The basic method to do this is to make one assignment to your button for when on the ground, then add the offset condition to that assignment by manually editing your ini. Then comment out that assignment, and make your second assignment (when in air) to the same button. then edit the ini again, adding an offset condition to that assignment, and also re-enabling the assignment that you commented out earlier. You then have tow assignments for that button, one which will apply in the air and the other on the ground.9 hours ago, dserrano said:I would like to adjust the yaw axis as nose wheel steering at ground and once I adjust the thrust in FLEX or TOGA it change to yaw
This is also possible but trickier. You would have to have a lua script to have different functions on an axis. This post should help:

I'm not sure why this is if they behave differently when you click them in the UI...
Sorry, but not having this add-on aircraft, I don't know what to advise if you cannot find a suitable lvar for this instead...John

I run the fsuipc batch file as admin and do it the same all the time.
In v7.0.4, FSUIPC7 is no longer started from the batch file, but from MSFS's EXE.xml file. So do as Pete suggests - set FSUIPC7.exe to run in admin mode.

The problem also occur with FSUIPC7 / PCFcom64 in MSFS2020
What version of FSUIPC7 are you using? There were some changes in the latest SDK w.r.t. key presses, so make sure you are using the latest version, v7.0.4
Also check key press assignments are working in FSUIPC7.

Hi, I'm getting similar problems, I use FSUIPC 7 and PACX, I wanted to know if the crashing is more likely caused by FSUIPC than PACX, meaning if I didn't run PACX, is it likely that I would get the same problems (CTD)?
The issue is with the SimConnect SDK, but its not clear what the actual issue is. However, it seems that the more SimConnect is used, the more likely the chance f a CTD. So reducing the amount of data going though simConnect (by removing some clients), could delay the issue, but I doubt it will prevent it ompletely.

First, if its FSUIPC assignments, could you disable Linda for the time being. Otherwise, if you are using Linda, you should use their support forums.
Activate event logging and button & keys (already activated), then produce a short log where you press one of you assigned buttons. Then attach the new log, together with your FSUIPC6.ini file and I'll take a look.

I've corrected the problem with multiple *.evt files in the attached version. v7.0.5a.
Its probably a good idea to make one evt file per instrument (e.g. G1000.evt, G3000.evt, etc) and then just add the event files for the instruments you use.

Would be so nice if you're able to get this to work.
It is working, but with restrictions (only use one *.evt file at the moment).
16 hours ago, MarkStallen said:That works, but the spad.next has also the ID's for the A320 Neo and the A320 FBW
How to call the Spad.next ID's ?
0=??????.A320_NEO_MFD_RANGE_1 etc
Those are lvars, not events, so currently not possible to use.
John
-
I don't know, but if the SPAD.next WASM module works in the same way as the MobiFlight one, I don't see why not.
You need to determine what are the string names that SPAD.next is using (your ??????). Do they publish them? -
@Stinger2k3 Ok Keith, but also note my post above about using two event files. I will look into this, but for the time being its probably best just to use one event file.

I am a little confused as to what is needed. Is it just a matter of installing the WASM into the community folder and then copying the .evt file into the FSUIPC7 installation folder?
Yes.
2 minutes ago, Stinger2k3 said:Do we still need to install Mobiflight itself?
You need to install and run it initially, to enable beta updates and to download the WASM module. Once that is done and you have placed the WASM folder in the community folder, you don't need to run Mobiflight anymore.
Just follow the instructions here.

There seems to be an issue using both event files, in that if you assign to a control provided by one of the files, the event with the same index number in the second file is also triggered. I will investigate, but for the time being please just use one event file containing the events needed.
John

Here are two event files that contain all of the MobiFlight events:
MobiFlight-Events2.evtMobiFlight-Events1.evt
For users who want to try these with the MobiFlight WASM module to control the G1000, please see:

John, for me , NO WAY means it will be NOT and ever develop.
I said 'There is currently no way to access lvars in FSUIPC7. '! i.e. not at the moment! Thats what I mean by currently!

I'm not angry, sorry if it came across that way. Its just that, as I said, you seem to be asking me the same question that I answered for you a few days ago, and I'm not sure why or if I am misunderstanding you, or you have misunderstood my previous comment on this matter....

Thanks for the link. I will look into this shortly to see what I can do.
@Stinger2k3 You can use the MobiFlight events by creating an *.evt file with the events you want to use, and they will then appear in the FSUIPC assignments drop-downs. See my latest post on this here:
I will look into providing some event files for all of these MobiFlight events.

Thanks, I created an events file named GNS530.evt and placed it in the installation folder. It just contains two lines for testing:
[Events]
1=MobiFlight.AS530_ENT_PushWhen I use the dropdown in "Assignments" -> "Buttons and Switches" the Mobiflight event is not listed. Am I missing a step?
I just tried this and it works - I see the events in the dropdown list (at the beginning):
I've attached the event file I have used (I've just added the first 54 events for the time being):MobiFlight-Events1.evt

There is currently no way to access lvars in FSUIPC7. This is a facility that I need to look into.
So its not yet possible. Of course, once I have implemented access to lvars, you can do with them what you wish, including using them to populate user offsets.
I have said this all before, so I just don't understand why you keep on asking the same question ion different topics!
Is there anything not clear in what I have said about this?John

Yes, i refered to this post
Which just re-iterates what I just said:
QuoteThese can be used to populate with data from lvars, but unfortunately there is currently no access to lvars in FSUIPC7. This is the next facility that I would like to look into providing, when time permits.
Sorry, but I don't understand what you are asking, or why you are asking the same question again...

Reading the event
in FSUIPC7 MSFS
Posted
SPEED_SLOT_INDEX_SET is a control/event, not a data value stored in an offset. The FSUIPC log entry is just logging that this event was received. There is no way to read the parameter of this event via the SDK.
But really, is that what you want to do? This (undocumented) control alters the FCU authority, so what you probably want to read is where the actual authority of the FCU lies. Not sure where thats held (if at all!)- if there is a sim variable for this then I could add that to the offset area for you to read - if you let me know what it is!
