FSUIPC4 does not work FSX SE
John Dowson replied to Daniel Werneck's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
I assume that it does work, in that it is running and you can access the UI. I can't see your image, but if you can only see the Logging and About tabs, then this indicates that you are using an unregistered version of FSUIPC4. To see the tabs that provide the functionality of a registered version, you have to register during the installation process. John -

Ok, I'll check this. A bit busy at the moment, so may take a while - hopefully next week. John -
SIMCONNECT_MENU_x Controls
John Dowson replied to zillmer's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
I see you also created another thread with the same post. I'll remove that. Which FSUIPC6 version are you using? Did you try with the latest (v6.0.8)? -
First, you posted in the FAQ sub-forum, where it explicitly states 'NOT for support requests'. Please post all support requests in the main Support forum. Those messages are from ADE, and so are better contacting their support forum. However, those messages indicate that you have either not installed FSUIPC or you have installed an incompatible version (I have no ide what version is required for ADE - check the requirements). A sinole google search reveals the following links relating to ADE/FSUIPC and your problem: https://scruffyduck.screenstepslive.com/s/help_docs/m/20268/l/223951-how-do-i-connect-ade-to-the-simulator https://scruffyduck.screenstepslive.com/s/help_docs/m/20268/l/204051-how-do-i-connect-ade-to-the-flight-simulator John

Barometric standard pressure assignment
John Dowson replied to Emile B.'s topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
I have just tried this with the AC11 and it works fine. When I press the assigned button, the barometric pressure is set to 1013.25 which is reflected by the value 16212 in offset 0330 (and I also see the altimeter change). I see you are using LINDA. Maybe try disabling this and retest without this. Your mouse actions for STD and decrement are the same (and it is the same mouse 'rectangle' for all three assignments): 11=Baro_STD=RX20000802,3 12=Baro_DEC=RX20000802,3 13=Baro_INC=RX20000802,1 If there is no separate 'rectangle' for the different positions, then you can only vary the mouse operation (the last parameter). You could try with a different code (e.g. 2 for a 'middle single click' - see P38 of the Advanced User guide for a complete list of codes). As I don't have the Dash, I can't advise further for mouse macros with that aircraft. You should also try with the default key assignment for standard barometric pressure - 'B'. Does this work for you? -
Automatic disabling for Autosave
John Dowson replied to Breenild's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
A specific FSUIPC control ('auto-save toggle')was recently added in FSUIPCv5.154 that allows autosave to be dynamically enabled/disabled. It should be relatively straightforward to write a lua script to activate this toggle when required (e.g. either by monitoring the plane/ground altitude, or on gear down/up). -
Barometric standard pressure assignment
John Dowson replied to Emile B.'s topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
First, can you update to v6.0.8 as we only support the latest versions of FSUIPC. Could you also - try with a default aircraft to see if the assignment works there - attach your FSUIPC6.ini file so we can see your assignment - activate event (non axis controls) logging as well as buttons & key operations, logging from the FSUIPC logging tab, produce a log showing your issue and attach Thanks, John -
I need to do it the other way around as I don't currently have access to the key generation facilities for FSUIPC4, so PM me your FSUIPC4 details and I'll generate a new WideFS7 key for you using those. John
-
What error? If you are talking about FSFK, then you need to contact their support. If you have an issue with FSUIPC, please explain what the issue is. John
-
For FSUIPC4, the name must be the same. This is not required in FSUIPC5 or FSUIPC6. If you could PM me (do not post publicly!) your WideFS7 registration details, I'll generate a new FSUIPC4 key for you using the same email/address. John

FSUIPC4 v4.975a crashed FSX
John Dowson replied to jmsn62's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
First, you posted in the FAQ sub-forum, where it states 'NOT for support requests'! I have moved your post for you, but please post in the correct forum, which is almost always the main Support Forum, unless it relates to the dll client for .net. Your problem has also been reported many times and there are solutions in the FAQ sub-forum where you posted. Please see the following FAQ posts: The latest version of FSUIPC4 is also now 4.975 - please update. -
For FSUIPC5, you can just delete (or rename) the FSUIPC5.DLL file, which will prevent it from being loaded. With that, P3D will try to start FSUIPC but won't as it can't find the dll. This is not an issue. However, if you want to remove it completely (or just stop the 2nd version from running), then check your DLL.XML file from your <user>\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4 folder. If you have 2 copies running, there are probably 2 entries in that file. You can delete one to prevent your message (if you still want to use FSUIPC), or both entries if not needed. You can also completely remove your Modules folder if you want to get rid of it completely. John

Check the logs for any antivirus software that you may have installed and try disabling that. You can also maybe try with a different extractor (but I can't see how that would make a difference!). Other than that, you need to determine what the window that displays for a short time is saying. Maybe by recording it and playing it back slowly would help - think you can do this via the screen recorder in the windows game bar. John
-
I can only suggest that you download again and re-try. When you run the installer, you should initially get a windows screen asking you to give permission for the installer to make changes to your system. Do you not see that?

Please see You will need to purchase a new key for FSUIPC6 from SimMarket. You will get the discount automatically applied on checkout. John

Paid Subscription
John Dowson replied to harold Nicholson's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
The free and registered versions are the same - the additional functionality provided by a licensed version is activated when you register during the installation process. This contradicts your previous statement when you said that you had 'paid for a REGISTERED VERSION V6 of FSUIIPC'. For details on FSUIPC6 & FSUIPC5 licenses, see John P.S. You posted in the FAQ sub-forum - I've moved your post, but please post all support requests here in the main forum. -

FSUIPC6 not registering with FSUIPC5 key

If you have FSUIPC6, you do not need FSUIPC5. Did you see this: https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/573578-new-linda-325-p3dv5fsuipc6-compatible-2-jun-2020/ John -
Trim wheel follows autopilot?
John Dowson replied to dmahr's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
FYI, FSInterrogate2 is included in the SDK for FSUIPC, and I think is also now one of the 'extras' for installation in FSUIPC6, outside of the SDK. -
Trim wheel follows autopilot?
John Dowson replied to dmahr's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Just search the FSUIPC Offset Status manual - for elevator trim, see - 0BC0: Elevator trim control input: –16383 to +16383 - 0BC2: Elevator trim indicator (follows input) - 2EA0: Elevator trim deflection, in radians, as a double (FLOAT64). Up positive, down negative. - 3338: Elevator Trim Axis input value, post calibration, just before being applied to the simulation (if allowed to by the byte at offset 310A). And if its a PFC trim wheel and you are using the provided PFC driver, then also see offset 3370/3BA8 John -
Hi Roger, copying and renaming your FSIOPC5.ini together with any other files (e.g. .lua, .mcro) you may use to the new installation directory is the way to use your FSUIPC5 settings with FSUIPC6. See the Installation and Registration guide. You can also use FSUIPC6 for P3Dv4, either the same or a separate installation. It is recommended to install outside of the main FS directory, especially if you have P3D installed under the Programs folder. It is also better to select a directory outside of the Prepare3D v5 Add-ons folder as this should really be just where the add-on.xml file is located. For example, I have it installed in d:\FlightSim\P3D Add-ons\FSUIPC6. There is no reason. The lua interface in FSUIPC6 is the same as that in FSUIPC5 and so should not need to be adapted (unless maybe the Aircraft has changed in some way that would necessitate a change, e.g. if using an lvar whose name had changed or been removed). Cheers, John

FSUIPC Key mapping Backup
John Dowson replied to Andy 764's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
For all versions of FSUIPC, your settings are in the ini file - FSUIPC4,ini for FSUIPC4, FSUIPC5.ini for FSUIP5 and FSUIPC6.ini for FSUIPC6. They have nothing to do with the Prepar3d.cfg file. This will not affect FSUIPC. However, if you previously had controllers disabled in P3D, restoring a default P3D cfg file will re-enable controllers. That is the default installation folder for FSUIPC5, where your FSUIPC5.ini will be. If you re-installed P3D completely, this may/will have removed the entry to start FSUIPC, in the dlll.xml file. To add this again, just re-run the FSUIPC5 installer. Skip registration, as you already have a .key file, and you settings/.ini is also preserved on re-installation. John
