[FSUIPC key usage after reinstalling Windows]

Hi,

you posted in the FAQ section - I've moved your post to the correct location (FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules).

You can just re-run the installer to re-install and re-register your product using the registration details from SimMarket. You will, of course, have to re-assign/reconfigure everything again unless you saved a copy of your ini file.

Cheers,

John

[Slow Data Read rate for pressure (0x28C8)]

Hi Robert,

As Chakko says, the ambient pressure doesn't change very quickly, which is why you are seeing slow updates. If you monitor offset 28C8 and go into slew mode and slew up very fast, I see the following logged:

  1115813 Monitor IPC:28C8 (FLT64) = 2071.1340
  1115813 SimRead: 28C8="AMBIENT PRESSURE" [also 28E8]
            FLT64: 2071.13404498
  1115891 Monitor IPC:28C8 (FLT64) = 2070.8867
  1115891 SimRead: 28C8="AMBIENT PRESSURE" [also 28E8]
            FLT64: 2070.8867444
  1115985 Monitor IPC:28C8 (FLT64) = 2070.6393
  1115985 SimRead: 28C8="AMBIENT PRESSURE" [also 28E8]
            FLT64: 2070.63931635

  1116078 Monitor IPC:28C8 (FLT64) = 2070.3920
  1116078 SimRead: 28C8="AMBIENT PRESSURE" [also 28E8]
            FLT64: 2070.39201578
  1116125 Monitor IPC:28C8 (FLT64) = 2070.1446
  1116125 SimRead: 28C8="AMBIENT PRESSURE" [also 28E8]
            FLT64: 2070.14458772
  1116219 Monitor IPC:28C8 (FLT64) = 2069.8974
  1116219 SimRead: 28C8="AMBIENT PRESSURE" [also 28E8]
            FLT64: 2069.89741462
  1116297 Monitor IPC:28C8 (FLT64) = 2069.6500
  1116297 SimRead: 28C8="AMBIENT PRESSURE" [also 28E8]
            FLT64: 2069.64998657
 

The interval here varies between 80-100ms.

Note that there is a delta value set on 28C8 (i.e. changes less than this are not reported) of 0.00009F, which should be fine.

With further tests, also monitoring/logging 3498 (ambient pressure in millibars) and the altitude (6020), it looks like the sim is only updating on millibar increments above 0.12-0.16 or so (or about a metre).

Interestingly, slewing down slowly (Z) seems to go at a rate of about a meter per second, logging the ambient pressure roughly once per second, while slewing up slowly (F3) seems to go at about 15m per second, logging the pressure around 12-15 times per second.

In summary, I think the rate is down to SimConnect rather than anything in FSUIPC5.

Cheers,

John

[Control disconnection]

Hi,

such issues are usually caused by usb power management/sleep issues. Check the power management on your USB hubs and make sure the setting to allow the computer to  turn off the device when not being used is disabled.

Cheers,

John

[Short freeze on button press]

Hi Roman,

I'm still quite new to lua myself, so I'll leave it to Pete to answer your questions when he returns. However, thought I'd mention that you can always use the 'event.button' (set of) functions instead to call the function on the button press without going through the FSUIPC assignment to toggle/set a flag.

Cheers,

John

[Instant Replay and P3Dv4]

It will be added to the next release. Cheers,

[Problem report: left/right brake calibration disabled when DirectAxesToCalibs=Yes]

Hi,

Pete's still away, but I took a look and could reproduce and it seemed to be an  easy enough fix, so please try the following:

FSUIPC5150b.zip

I'm not too familiar with this flag/functionality, so I'll get Pete to verify when he's back.

Cheers.

[FSUIPC Registration Query]

You don't need to uninstall - just download and run the 5.15 installer. If you have already registered you can skip that step ('Not Now') and your existing key file will be used (and checked when you start P3D). You can dowload from here:

 

Cheers,

[Instant Replay and P3Dv4]

I could populate 0628 for read access based upon the values in 3402 if this would help?

[FSUIPC Registration Query]

Hi Tom,

where does it say that it is a 'Beta copy'? There is no such thing! Version 5.121a is an interim version and is out-of-date (not supported) - please download and install version 5.15, which is the latest version of FSUIPC5.

There are only registered and unregistered versions (and no expire date!). The 'About' tab in the FSUIPC5 main window will show if the copy is registered or not, and the FSUIPC5.log file will log the registration check (when you start P3D). What does this say?

Cheers,

John

P.S. For future reference, could you please use a more useful topic....'FSUIPC' doesn't say much, 'FSUIPC registration query' would have been better! Thanks.

[Instant Replay and P3Dv4]

Hi Luke,

I can confirm that 0628 does indeed remain zero. However, looking at the offsets document, this is defined as 'No' for both read and write, i.e. Not Supported.

I guess it could be added, but I am not sure this is worth doing anymore now that offset 3402 contains the more detailed mode info.

Cheers,

John

[Can’t find fsuipc client in fsuipc5]

WideClient is available from the 'Download Links'->'Updated Modules' page:

 

[Instant Replay and P3Dv4]

Hi Luke,

I'll take a look at offset 0628, but I think you are better off switching to use 3402.

You cannot disable the use of the PDK now, since version 5.14 (see note 18 of the 5.14 release note).

Regards,

John

[P3D v4 Question]

The 'Miscellaneous' tab is one of the tabs in the FSUIPC main window. Are you using FSUIPC, or is this a general P3D question?

This is the FSUIPC support forum. If your question is about P3D then best to post in their forums.

Regards,

John

[Usb devices on the client]

Hi Don,

you can connect your USB devices to your client computer and connect using WideFS. This will generally be fine for buttons/switches/toggles, etc, but for axis controls (throttle, elevators, ailerons, rudder, etc) you may find the added delay (due to the network) gives poor response times.

Anyway, Pete will be back next week so please wait for his opinion before you splash the cash!

Regards,

John

[Instant Replay and P3Dv4]

Hi Luke,

there were some changes in the way the sim mode is derived that were introduced in FSUIPC v5.15. See note 5 in the 5.15 history document. There were also some changes in the use of offset 3365 (which is the 'in-menu' or 'dialog' flag) in v5.14 (please also see History document for details)

The sim mode is now taken from the PDK and stored in offset 3402 as a bitwise flag. Please check the offset status document for this offset. There is no change in offset 0628 - this should still be 1 when in instant replay mode and 0 when off.

Cheers,

John

 

 

[fsuipc 5 doesnt recognize control stick]

Hi,

if your original problem is fixed and this is a new problem, could you post a new topic please? Please also post your FSUIPC5.ini file for assignment issues.

Are you using profiles? As mouse-macros are aircraft specific, they should really only be assigned to a profile.

Cheers,

John

[P3D v4 Question]

Hi,

unfortunately it is difficult to tell what is in the attached image, but yes - the 'Previous Flight' should be visible in the 'Load Scenario' dialog box.

I am not sure why the 'Previous Flight' is not visible, if it is there and visible in the 'Save Flight' dialog box, it should also be in the 'Load Flight' one....

You could try activating the 'Provide menu entry for flight loading' option, in FSUIPC's 'Miscellaneous' tab. This will give you an extra 'Load Flight...' menu option in the 'Add-ons' drop-down. Use this to navigate to your saved flights directory (usually in the Documents/Prepar3D v4 Files directory of the user account - this should be the default) and see if you have the 'Previous Flight.fxml' file there and try and load that.

Cheers,

John

[Device not recognized]

Hi Maksim,

could you please also post your FSUIPC5.ini and FSUIPC5.JoyScan.csv files please, both also located in your Modules folder.

Thanks,

[Reinstall FSUIPC after disk crash - key not accepted]

Just re-run the installer (or download the latest version first). Please cut and paste your registration details (name, email address, registration key) from your SimMarket license/registration email (you should be able to retrieve these from your SimMarket account if lost).

What do you mean by 'I have key file data but FSUIPC does not accept it'? 

[Throttle Manager to Allow Axis Forward/Reverse Toggle]

You edit the file and add the [AUTO] section.

[FSUIPC Registration Problems]

Hi,

no attached pictures, only the install log. This shows one strange error:

Quote

Failed to install "FSUIPC5 User Guide.pdf"
   Error 1224 reported ("Der Vorgang ist bei einer Datei mit einem geöffneten Bereich, der einem Benutzer zugeordnet ist, nicht anwendbar. ")
 

The attached install log shows you were installing 5.15 over 5.15, so it looks like you are re-installing the same version, no? Did you have the user guide open at the time by any chance, which prevented it being installed on this run?

As to your registration problems, more info is needed. Have you previously registered (and have a valid key file in your Modules folder)? If so, you can skip the registration process and the existing key file will be picked-up when you start P3D/FSUIPC5. Otherwise, what happens when you try to register?

Also please remember to copy and paste your registration details from you registration/purchase email.

Regards,

John

P.S. For future reference, please try and use a more appropriate topic/subject for support requests. 'FSUIPC' doesn't really say much - 'FSUIPC registration problems' would have been better! Thanks.

[Short freeze on button press]

As spokes2112 says, this is not an efficient way run such a large lua file. Each time you call this, it has to create the thread and compile the lua script before it runs. It would be more efficient to have the lua auto-started (and compiled!) and activated on an event flag. You can also consider breaking the script down into multiple smaller files.

Cheers,

John

No news of this as of yet. It is something that will be looked into in the future, but at the moment this is low priority so nothing for the time being.

[Joy names]

This is how it should look. Your assignments/calibration will now use the letters, but the numbers still appear in the JoyNames section to enable the mapping of the numbers obtained in the scan to the letters via the GUIDs.
