If its not there, add it, if its there with 'Yes', change to 'No'. It goes in the [General] section. John

There is already the option ProvideAIdata=No Maybe you can try with that to see if it makes a difference? John

Can you check your FSUIPC7.log file. You should see these lines near the beginning: If you don't see that, you are either using the wrong file or have placed it in the wrong place. Under the Assignments menu. this will not be available if your FSUIPC7 is unregistered. Yes, there is a know issue with both the Honeycomb Alpha yoke and the Bravo throttle, with certain switches always sending state.... There are quite a few honeycomb users using FSUIPC7 to get around this, so should be possible. Just see you have responded again and now have it working....good lucjk with setting it up! Still waiting for my Honeycomb Alpha.... John

These errors have been known to be caused by the number of SimConnect clients being exceeded. Its a known problem in all ESP based sims since FSX. To verify if this is the cause, you could activate server-side SimConnect logging (via a SimConnect.ini file) to see if the number of clients/connections is being exceeded, and if so increase the maximum number of clients available via your SimConnect.xml file.

As Pete says, just use the same FSUIPC7.key file. However, if its failing validation it could be due to your VC++ redistributables. Can you try to see if you can actually run FSUIPC7 on your 2nd PC (registered or not)?
-
Maybe that could work, although you would have to terminate the event.key function on an enter or return key press. Are there any standard lua library functions that can get keyboard input? I tried with io.read but this doesn't seem to get any input. I'll take a look using event.key for this in the next few days. John

Hi Robert, there is no difference running the downloaded stand-alone exe than running the one installed by the installer. They are one and the same exe. The installer will just add a couple of registry entries which are used by the installer (and not the FSUIPC7.exe) to check what is installed before re-installing. So I'm pretty baffled by this... This issue seems to be due to a server-side issue with SimConnect. For now, its best to report all CTDs to Asobo, including the relevant crash report. John

Reverse Thrusters Being Spammed
John Dowson replied to underdogdjr's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
@underdogdjr Glad you found your issue, and thanks for reporting back. John -
There are several such reports now. It is really not worth creating a separate topic for this when it has been reported several times already. The problem is with MSFS and needs to be reported to them, with any details from the windows event viewer included so that they can investigate. John

LUA file and button / keypress assignments
John Dowson replied to rustam's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
@lonesbeats@gmail.com First, you posted in a topic that has been closed for over 5 years and is not really related. You would be better off creating a new topic with an appropriate title. What you would like to do is quite straightforward using the event.button function and a global variable to hold the current state (or number of button presses). You can use and adapt the following lua script. Makle sure to add it top the [Auto] section of your FSUIPC ini file so that it auto-starts. John -
Custom Programing Help Requested for Switches
John Dowson replied to Travis1992's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
There doesn't seem to be any control, either internal or external, to control this at the moment. You may want to raise a new feature request with Asobo for this. John -
Custom Programing Help Requested for Switches
John Dowson replied to Travis1992's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
Toggle your switch and assign the PARKING BRAKES control to both your button press ad release. Then located those assignment lines in your FSUIPC7.ini. I have just assigned to a spare switch, and these are my lines (where '109' is my device id, and button id is 15): To add an offset condition on 0x0BC8 (BRAKE PARKING POSITION), I would change those entries to Then the control would only be sent on the switch on position if the parking brakes were off (0x0BC8 contains 0), and sent the toggle control on release only if the parking brakes are on (W0BC8 is equivalent to W0BC8!0).

Why are you posting the same question multiple times? See John

FSUIPC7 does not have a native web-service interface. However, there is a websocket server provided (and included in the FSUIPC7 installer) by Paul Henty. See http://fsuipcwebsockets.paulhenty.com/ John

v7.0.3 is now the latest official release - you can download it from the usual places (e.g. www.fsuipc.com or in the Download Links section of this forum). And I can only re-iterate what I have already said... If MSFS crashes, it is an issue with MSFS that should be reported to Asobo. You should report any CTD with any crash log reports from the Windows Event viewer. If its an issue in the SDK, SimConnect logging may also help. John

Hi Al, looks like Asobo have changed the key codes used for those keys. I have update in the attached version v7.0.4a if you would like to try it: FSUIPC7.exe John
-
Strange. I'm not sure what happened, but as its now working there is no point in looking into this now. Thanks for reporting back. John

It is there, it is just not a annotated correctly: 39=PC,30,C1024,0 -{}- This is because there is an issue with the annotation/comments for FSUIPC added controls. This has been corrected in the latest version, v7.0.3. You are till using v7.0.0 - can you please update (as only the latest version of each product is supported). Also, if you have a two-phased type rotary, you can only have one speed in each direction. It maybe better to assign to use offset 0x0BC0 and the increment/decrement controls, as explained in this post: You also need to determine which two buttons control the phase of the rotary - i.e. what are buttons B1 and B2 as explained on P23 of the Advanced user guide.

You have commented-out the relevant lines with the ';' character - try: John -
Setting and reading nosewheel position
John Dowson replied to Flygard's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
I'm not sure it is. What are you using to set the position? There is an indexed simvar GEAR STEER ANGLE that I could add, with indices for centre, left, right and aux (and also individual variables for each), but I'm not sure if this is what you are after or if this would be populated when using ProSim. Do you want me to add these to see if they can be of use? John -
Hi Al, No, the ipc.ask() lua function isn't currently working due to problems with the SimConnect_Text function. Unfortunately I don't think there is an alternative to this at the moment, sorry. Thanks - and a very Happy festive period for you as well! John
