[Short freeze on button press]

Hi,

could you post the lua script please?

 

[PMDG 737 Offsets]

No, sorry - not heard of MobiFlight before. Just googled it though and it looks interesting...

 

[fsuipc 5 doesnt recognize control stick]

Sorry, just posted a possible solution when I noticed the GUIDs for your two devices are the same!

Can you post your FSUIPC5.Joyscan.csv file please?

[PMDG 737 Offsets]

You need to convert the decimal value to hexadecimal, so

        4976 = 0x1370

which would correspond to a frequency of 113.70 (BCD format).

Hope that helps,

John

 

[fsuipc 5 doesnt recognize control stick]

Hi,

looks like your stick and throttle have both been assigned a joystick id of 1. You will need to change the id of one of the devices by following  the steps Pete posted in this recent thread:

[FSUIPC registration (P3D 4.4)]

By the way, the key file should be in  J:\Lockheed Martin\Modules and not 'J:\Prepar3d\modules'  as mentioned....

[Mouse macro with push buttons]

Hi Erwan,

the log file shows the mouse macro is being activated ok.

There are a few things you could try:

1. Duplicate your macro file (giving it another name), and in the second file change the left mouse-click code (3) to a left release (13) [P38 of Advanced User Manual]. Then assign this macro to the key release.

2. Instead of using two macro files (as above), you could edit the existing macro to contain both the left click and the release - see the section entitled 'Multiple actions in one macro control' P37 of advanced user manual.

3. If the above two fail, add event logging to see whats being sent when you both click and release with the mouse in the sim.

Cheers,

John

 

 

 

[FSUIPC registration (P3D 4.4)]

Hi,

did you try starting P3D and checking if FSUIPC is registered? If you key file is still in the modules folder it will check the registration when you start P3D.

 

[AlsoManage not working in P3d v4]

Hi,

what files are not being deleted?

Try adding the additional logging flags to your FSUIPC5.ini file, as mentioned above:

Quote

Debug=Please
LogExtras=4

So does it need ext. focus(h) at the end? What exactly do I type? 

Yes, of course it needs that. Its pretty simple - the first line gets the handle of the window that needs the focus, the 2nd line sets the focus to the window with that handle.

Quote

Then how do I put that in modules folder? 

You need to create a file with those lines using a text editor, such as notepad++ (better) or notepad.

John

[Active Window]

I believe the exe is Prepar3d.exe (but open task manager with ctrl-alt-del to check), so it would be

h = ext.gethandle("Prepar3d.exe") --name is program name incl .exe, or program title (as listed in Task Manager)
ext.focus(h)

John

[Active Window]

Hi,

you could try using a simple lua script, such as:

h = ext.gethandle("name") --name is program name incl .exe, or program title (as listed in Task Manager)
ext.focus(h)

Save the above to your modules folder as, say, "usexxx.lua" where xxx suggests the program you are switching to, then, in FSUIPC, assign your button or key to Lua usexxx.

Cheers,

John

 

[FSX steam]

my FSUIPC cant run in FSX steam, how to run it?

What is the actual problem? Did it install ok (install log?)? Why can't you run it - what errors are you getting?

 have trouble applying this "PETE DOWSON" program, I use PMDG addons, can you help by giving examples in power point or video screen how to apply it to replace keymaps on the keyboard?

is there a software program that can reprogram the keymap on a computer keyboard, so that it can be applied to the keymap on PMDG aircraft?

 

I would love to design a home cockpit at an affordable cost, because the price of hardware prices on the market for cockpit homes is very expensive, maybe with your help, I can help fellow flight simulator fans, by designing low-cost hardware and software.

 

Have you looked at the documentation in the documents folder?

John

[Registration Key not accepted]

FSUIPC5 is a different product to FSUIPC4, so you will need to buy a new key via Simmarket.

Your wideFS key will still be valid. WideSever is now built into FSUIPC5.

Regards,

John

[Registration key not accepted]

Hi jwillyf,

as NaMc0 says, please remove you key ASAP. If people see this and start to use this key it will be blacklisted, NEVER post registration details please.

All three parts of the key must be correct and those used at the time of purchase: name, email and key. Copy and paste from the original registration email. If you do not have this email, you can retrieve your details from your simmarket account.

Regards,

John

[P3D4.3 FSUIPC related CTD]

There is a similar problem reported here  in which the cause the loading of a 32-bit dll. However, the post is quite old and relates to SODE 1.5.3. Maybe worth checking though.

[Landing rates]

That depends on what you want to do! You could, for example, read/monitor it in a lua script, in a C/C++ program, or use the logging facilities provided by FSUIPC to display the value in the log file, main window or title bar.

[Landing rates]

Hi,

you probably want offset 030C - from the offset status document: Vertical speed, copy of offset 02C8 whilst airborne, not updated whilst the “on ground” flag (0366) is set. Can be used to check hardness of touchdown (but watch out for bounces which may change this).

There is a discussion on landing rate calculation here: https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/524247-how-is-landing-rate-calculated/

Cheers,

John

[What FSX or Prepar3D versions can support to write Viewpoints?]

Check the offset status document: 0x0020 (4 bytes) or 0x0b4c (2bytes).

[First attempt at LUA function]

Also i'm not sure that this will do what you want it to do. Control 1009 is the Traffic Density Toggle. Toggling this only works in one session, and if there is no known initial state then this will set/toggle the density to 100%.

You may therefore want to add a 0 parameter or use control 1008 instead.

There is a similar lua example included that may be useful -  this freezes taxi-out AI traffic when you lower gear (or lower flaps) and releases when you land:

-- NOTE: For use with FSUIPC 5 only

-- This small plug in, which should be pre-loaded: for example, by adding
-- [Auto] 
-- 1=Lua AIfreezer
-- to your FSUIPC5.INI file.

-- It freezes taxi-out AI traffic when you lower your gear,
-- and releases them when you touch down.

-- For aircraft with non-retractable gear, it checks the state of
-- the Flaps instead, expecting full flaps for landing. (amend where
-- noted for other flap settings).

function GroundCheck(off, val)
	if ipc.val ~= 0 then
		ipc.control(1149) -- Freeze AI off if user landed
		ipc.log("AI taxiout traffic released")
	end
end

function GearCheck(off, val)
	if val >= 16383 and ipc.readUW(0x0366) == 0 then
		ipc.control(1150) -- Freeze AI on if gear just lowered (whilst in the air)
		ipc.log("AI taxiout traffic frozen")
	end
end

function FlapsCheck(off, val)
	-- See if gear is fixed first:
	if ipc.readUB(0x060C) == 0 then
		if val >= 16383 and ipc.readUW(0x0366) == 0 then
			ipc.control(1150) -- Freeze AI on if now full flaps set when in the air
			ipc.log("AI taxiout traffic frozen")
		end
	end
end

event.offset(0x0366, "UW", "GroundCheck")
event.offset(0x0BE8, "UD", "GearCheck")
event.offset(0x0BDC, "UD", "FlapsCheck")

John

[First attempt at LUA function]

I think you want offset 0366, not 0336. Try with
   event.offset(0x0366, "UW", "trafficoff")

John

*update*

You are also missing an end statement for the if: 
 

function trafficoff(offset, value)
    if value == 0 then
        ipc.control(1009)
        ipc.log("AI traffic turned off")
    end
end

 event.offset(0x0366, "UW", "trafficoff")
 

[FSUIPC Saitek X56 Issue]

The logging lines have been added to the ini file - you just need to start the sim and supply the log file.

 

[Aerosoft A3.. pro - buttons assignment]

What script is that? If its a Linda script, then you should probably ask in the Linda sub-forum (or whoever/wherever provided the script).

If you require help with FSUIPC, it is better to start a new thread with a full description of the issues you are facing (flight sim? Assigning from/to whatr? ini/log files? etc), rather than hijacking an existing thread.

Cheers,

John

[FSUIPC Saitek X56 Issue]

You will need to add some logging options to get more info. However, I am travelling today & tomorrow and do not have access to my windows machines so cannot let you know until Friday. Pete is also back tomorrow (or maybe Friday) who may pick this up and give you further advice.
In the meantime, can you confirm that you have disconnected your devices &  uninstalled all saitek devices, drivers and software (from the control panel), then reboot and connect your devices (which should install the standard windows drivers, not the Saitek ones). If not, please do this first.

Cheers,

John

[FSUIPC Saitek X56 Issue]

Could you upload your FSUIPC5.Joyscan.csv and FSUIPC5.ini files please, as well as the latest log file.
