[Can FSUIPC Distinguish Between Two Keyboards?]

Sorry, I've not used this program and can't really help you with this - maybe try posting on the support forum over at http://www.hidmacros.eu/forum/.

As previously posted,  you could try the log lvars.lua plugin (see the FSUIPC Lua Plug-Ins manual) which will list all lvars (and their values) available for any loaded aircraft.

You posted in the wrong forum - your post was moved here, which is the correct forum for all support requests.

Thats interesting! From there, this seems to be the software that you need: http://www.hidmacros.eu/whatisit.php

[FS9 fsuipc 3.999 visibility]

I already moved this for you! I have also removed  your duplicate post, and the comment you added which just repeated your problem.

This seems related to 'FS Global Weather' and not FSUIPC - have you tried their support?

[What is involved with completely swapping out controllers?]

Yep, that is correct. Its pretty standard to use multiple controllers (e.g. pilot controls & co-pilot controls).

John

[What is involved with completely swapping out controllers?]

If you are removing/adding USB devices, you should use the 'JoyLetters' facility - see section 'Keeping track of multiple control device' on p21 of the User Guide.

If you use this facility, FSUIPC will recognise your devices when they are re-connected and preserve your assignments.

Multiple ini files shouldn't be necessary, although there seem to be quite a few folks that use this method. Using JoyLetters and FSUIPC profiles (for different assignments for different aircraft) should be sufficient.

Cheers,

John

[Can FSUIPC Distinguish Between Two Keyboards?]

A keypress is a keypress, regardless of the keyboard device it comes from. There is no way to distinguish which device the keypress comes from.

You can have keypresses perform different actions depending upon an 'offset condition' which would allow multiple actions depending on this condition, which could be set/changed using a key or button press. See the Advanced User manual for details.

Is your lua running? You need to add it to the [Auto] section of your FSUIPC5.ini file - see page 40 of the Advanced User manual.

[X-Pilot won't connect]

This forum is for FSUIPC (+ WideFS and other additional free tools that we supply), for P3D and Microsoft FSs +  FSX-SE. We do not support X-Plane. If you are using XPUIPC, you need to contact their support, or maybe X-Pilot support.

I just disable controllers entirely in p3d (there's a checkbox for it) and assign everything via fsuipc. 

This is the recommended method.

[P3D 4.5 FSUIPC 5.152 and WideFS 6.999z1]

Yes, you don't need LINDA.

I've the registered version of SPAD.neXT. I prefer to not use LINDA because I'm not sure that "hybrid" configuration with SPAD.neXT and LINDA will work well

I agree completely - was just trying to clarify that its LINDA that uses lua, not spad.next, and thus you really only need a registered version of FSUIPC to use LINDA (or lua scripts in general), and not for spad.next.
I use both fsuipc (with lua scripts) and spad.next, and they work well together.

Cheers,

Does SPAD.next use LUA scripts via FSUIPC registered version?

SPAD.next (registered or trial version) uses SimConnect, not Lua scripts. The freeware version used to use FSUIPC (unregistered), but I believe this is no longer available. There are (or were - its been a while since I checked) options in SPAD.next to use/integrate with FSUIPC.

The lua script functionality is only available in a licensed FSUIPC. LINDA uses lua scripts and so requires a registered version of FSUIPC.

[P3D screen black when selecting FSUIPC Add-on in the menu]

Hi Detlef,

1 hour ago, Detlef_747 said:

when I select FSUIPC Add-on from the menu the P3D window just shows black until I press the ESC key

the P3D window blackens when you open FSUIPC. When you press the escape key, that will close FSUIPC.

Sounds like your screen resolution change has moved the FSUIPC window out of visibility. Try removing the ini parameter OptionsDialogOffset (from your FSUIPC5.ini file, located in your Modules folder), with P3D closed, and then restart P3D.

Alternatively, go back to your previous screen resolution!

Btw, you are using an older (and unsupported) version of FSUIPC. Please update to 5.152.

[GoFlight program denied access to FSUIPC5 - why?]

You need to download an install the lua socket module. There is a FAQ entry on this.

 

[GoFlight program denied access to FSUIPC5 - why?]

Hi Ray. It won't be the firewall - this doesn't come into play when you are running programs on the same machine (with a local ip address). I don't know GIT - what is it using to talk to FSUIPC?

Pete may know more, but you should probably try GIT forums or support.

[use Variables list of MAJESTIC DASH8 Q400 with FSUIPC 5]

You could try the log lvars.lua plugin (see the FSUIPC Lua Plug-Ins manual) which will list any lvars available for your aircraft. If any are listed, you can access these in lua and macro scripts.

[Throttle sync position]

Please check the FSUIPC User Guide:

p14: 

• Throttle sync to sync Thr/Prop/Mix: When selected, this makes the Throttle Sync Hot Key (see the Hot Keys section) and the added Throttle Sync controls synchronise the Prop pitch and Mixture settings to the Engine 1 values, as well as the throttles.

p17:

• Throttle Sync: This operates a facility to make all throttle inputs, for any engine, affect the throttle inputs to all engines. It’s a toggle function—if it is on then using it again turns it off. For best use of this facility you will want to also calibrate the separate throttles in FSUIPC’s Joysticks pages.

  If you are only using a single throttle then this won’t make a lot of difference except that every time you use it FSUIPC will make the throttle selection (i.e. the keypress E+1 ... etc) apply to all engines. However, it works a lot better even then if you’ve calibrated the throttle axis in FSUIPC’s Joysticks pages.

  If you also select the option to synchronise propeller pitch and mixture settings (see the Miscellaneous page), then the same Hot Key operates all three together. There again, if you are using joystick axes for propeller pitch and/or mixture you should calibrate them in FSUIPC’s Joysticks pages.

  If an assigned reverser axis is used whilst throttle sync is engaged, the sync action will be automatically cancelled.

  Note that this same facility can now be assigned to keypress or buttons/switches via the additional Throttle Sync controls in the drop-down assignments lists. As well as Toggle actions you can program On and Off actions separately.

[Controller inputs not detected]

but the control inputs were not being picked up by FSUIPC

Do you mean that you cannot see them in the assignments tab? Is this for all your devices or just the X-55?

Could you post your ini, log and joyscan.csv files please (all in your modules folder). You can also try uninstalling the Saitek drivers to see if this solves your issue.

It has been suggested to look at power saving plan in windows

Yes, you should disable power saving mode on your USB device hubs as this will prevent Windows from putting your devices to sleep.

If you have a mixture of USB 2 and USB 3 ports, you can also try changing the USB port - some USB2 devices don't seem to work well with USB3 connections.

[Yoke assignment]

FSUIPC's Logging tab.

 

[Mouse Macros]

The size limit for the macro filename is 16 characters, including the extension. The limit for the macro names is also currently 16 characters. When using LVARS, the length for the lvar name is currently 32 characters, but has been increased to 64 for future releases and this update is also available in this post:

 

 

[Yoke assignment]

Your log file doesn't show much, except that that you keep losing your connection, which is strange. Did you not activate the suggested logging? You need to do this so that I can see what is being sent when you activate yout button.

Maybe also post your ini file with your next log as well

[PMDG 747 acting weird since last FSUIPC update]

You are still not providing enough information. When does it freeze? What are you doing? Does this happen in all the time? Only with PMDG aircraft or with all aircraft (have you tried with a stock aircraft)?

Your FSUIPC4.log file would help. However, if the crash was not "immediate" then maybe you have a corrupt weather file -- a .WX file in your Flight simulator Documents folder, or possibly the wxstationlist.bin file in the same folder as your FS-SE settings (the AppData folder). deleting both would help in that case.
