  1. Newbie question

    started FSX without FSUIPC running and the throttle/mixture levers seem to be responding as normal

    So you re-enabled controllers in FSX for this? Make sure controllers are disabled in FSX if you are assigning your axis in FSUIPC.

    Saitek Panel/Radio and Flight Switch boxes

    To use the full functionality of these, you should look into using the SPAD (freeware - http://fstools.weebly.com/) or SPAD.next (payware - https://www.spadnext.com/home.html) drivers. I use the latter (with FSUIPC) and it works very well.

    Cheers,

  2. Strange issue with Flysimware LJ35

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Hi Matthias,

    what happens when you just start FSUIPC and close it again right after?

    It will rescan your devices.

    Does it also start working when you click the switch in the VC after opening/closing FSUIPC?

    It does sound like an issue with your add-on LJ35. You could try logging non-axis events and button presses (from the FSUIPC logging tab). This may show if something different is being sent after the spoiler retract.

    Cheers,

    John

     

  3. Twin magneto problem

    A list of what all these controls actually do would be most helpful to me and I'm sure to many others.

    The controls are events provided by P3D, so you need to look into the P3D documentation (e.g. see 'SimConnect Name' column in https://www.prepar3d.com/SDKv4/sdk/references/variables/event_ids.html). The specific controls added by FSUIPC are documented in FSUIPC' documentation.

    For your magneto problem, can you try activating non-axis event logging as well as buttons and switches (from FSUIPC's logging tab), generate a log file going through the magneto positions up and down and show us the results.

  4. WideFS Autostart with FSUIP

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Hi Urs,

    your WideClient.ini file is not correct. There is no [Programs] section - thats for FSUIPC (or WideServer)!

    As Pete said, you want to be using RunReady, which takes the form
        RunReady1=....
    and is located in the [User] section of your WideClient.ini (or the [WideServer] section in FSX).  Please see the WideFS Technical guide.

  6. [Updated Post] Tail Number replaced by Airline Call Sign (Need to identify ATC traffic)

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    Hi CrazzMC,

    For some reason FSUIPC will replace the Tail Number with the Airline Call Sign.

    Are you sure its not just the Airline? If the state of the AI aircraft is 'Initialising' (128) or 'Sleeping' (129), then you will get just the 'Airline'.

    Note that you can also change the ATC id used using the TCASid parameter, which can be changed from FSUIPC's Miscellaneous tab - see the Advanced User Guide (p5).

    You can also try the attached lua script which will log all 96 ground/air slots for you - drop it into your modules folder and assign it to a key or button press. This gives output such as the following:

    If you have a new issue, could you please start a new thread - your problem does not seem to be related to this threads title!

    More information is also needed - what version of FSUIPC are you using? What sim? How did you install on another computer - if you just copied across your ini file, this most likely won't work as your joystick ids (and GUIDs) will have changed.

    Please start a new thread with the above information, and also attached your ini, log and joyscan.csv files (all from your Modules folder).

  13. Virtual Fly TQ6 issue with FSUIPC

    A sign pops up at when I close the simulator that says a second or previous copy is still running

    Thats very strange...I don't think its possible to have two copies of FSUIPC running...

    Maybe check (or post) your DLL.XML file (in your AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar 3D vd folder) to make sure there is only one entry for FSUIPC5.

    I downloaded the 5.151 version (latest at Simmarket)

    Thats strange - it should be 5.152. I'll check and update - thanks for pointing this out.

    You can always get the latest versions from our download page over here on simflight:

    The issues I mentioned vary. today, the brakes on all the aircraft were set in park so I could not move the aircraft. The normal "." or CTL+.  have no effect even if I release the parking brake in the aircraft. That was not an issue yesterday. Several other issues continue. I had issues a few years ago which caused me to delete the module. Seems my mistakes caused another. How do I proceed to get a clean install.

    This all sounds very strange, especially if you have new issues and nothing has changed...

    Try removing FSUIPC completely and check P3D is working ok. To do this, rename your 'Modules' folder and remove the FSUIPC entry in the aformentioned DLL.XML file -  this section:

     

    Quote

      <Launch.Addon>
        <Name>FSUIPC 5</Name>
        <Disabled>False</Disabled>
        <Path><your path>\FSUIPC5.dll</Path>
       </Launch.Addon>
     

    Save the file and restart P3D. If all is ok, download FSUIPC 5.152 (from the link above) and re-install. You don't have to register again - copy your key file from your old (renamed) Modules folder to the new one. You can also copy across your ini file if you have anything there you want to keep.

    Cheers,

    John

    Does it matter? Make a backup of your registry and you can always revert back to it later if it causes issues.

    I'm sorry, but I don't understand what support you require. Please follow the instructions. If  that doesn't work, then post the results here and we'll try to help.

    P.S. You are hijacking a FAQ thread. If you have any issues, can you please start a new thread in the support forum (not the FAQ). If the support request requires a different solution to that posted in this FAQ entry, then I will update accordingly. I'll leave these comments in the FAQ entry for a while, but they will be deleted as they are really not appropriate to a FAQ entry. Thanks.

  16. Cannot get Lua events working with P3d

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    Hi Detlef,

    the second lua script does not end as you have an infinite loop, so the timer is never called. Try this instead: 

    ipc.display("Timer event test")
gCount = 10
-----------------------------------------------------
function MyTimer()
  gCount = gCount-1
  ipc.display(gCount)
end
-------------------------  init ------------------------
event.timer(100, "MyTimer")

    I start a Lua script by setting a key (L in my case) to start the script

    Ok, then you don't need to auto-start.

    13 hours ago, Detlef_747 said:

    So if my script has the name kevent.lua I set the key L to the control Lua kevent.

    So, after starting a script with the 'L'  key, you then wait for an 'L' key event? Sounds a strange thing to do, but ok if thats what you want....

    13 hours ago, Detlef_747 said:

    But if I initiate the events, and wait in a loop afterwards in the same lua file for the events happening, the events do not fire.

    The script needs to end/finish (not exit! That will kill the lua), then it will react on the events. It won't react to events if the script is still running (i.e. you are in an internal loop).

    13 hours ago, Detlef_747 said:

    I now need to figure out how I can use global variables, that are global across different Lua files.

    There are various ways to achieve this, although the recommended way using FSUIPC is to use the provided ipc.get and ipc.set functions - see the lua library documentation.

  20. Cannot get Lua events working with P3d

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    Hi Detlef,

    how are you activating this lua? As you are using events, it should be activated from the [Auto] section of your ini file.

    However, this line
        ipc.exit()
    will cause your lua program to exit and no longer respond to events.

    You also have:
        event.key(TIC_MS, 86, 0, "KeyReceived")  -- Key v (normally make screenshot)
        event.cancel("KeyReceived")
    where you are asking a function to be called on a keycode (of TIC_MS, which is not a valid keycode) with shifts of CTRL-ALT-TAB-APPS (=86...really?), and are then cancelling this event straight away, so it will never be called.

    Probably quite a few other mistakes - I haven't checked it all. I think you need to review the examples again, especially on events. Basically when you add an event (and don't cancel it or stop the lua!), the lua sits in the background waiting for the event, and then calls the appropriate function.

    Also, lua logging is your friend - try activating this to find errors and see what your lua is doing.

    Cheers,

    John

  22. Simple Shift Command vs Compound Command

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted · Edited by John Dowson
    correction of modifier code from 8 to 9

    Hi Scott,

    you can use just the shift key only by modifying the key definition

        6=N220,8,1005,2560,1005,2560     -{\|key: Press=BUTTON FLAG Toggle: Joy 10 Button 0, Release=BUTTON FLAG Toggle: Joy 10 Button 0 }-
     to
        6=N16,9,1005,2560,1005,2560     -{\|key: Press=BUTTON FLAG Toggle: Joy 10 Button 0, Release=BUTTON FLAG Toggle: Joy 10 Button 0 }-
     

    It seems that 16 is the keycode for null, not 0 as specified in the documentation (which I will update).

    Cheers,

    John

  23. Assign buttons FSLABS A3XX

    Ohhhh I can see that MACRO file is named .txt

    Yes, that will be your problem!

    If you left-click the filename and hold for a second or so before releasing, you can change the filename and extension (or right-click and 'Rename'). You will have to confirm the change.

    Notepad++ is a good free source editor that a lot of people, including myself, use for this type of thing.

    Btw, your FSUIPC version is quite old now - the latest (and only supported) version is 5.152. please update at some point.

    Cheers,

    John

    P.S. Its a good idea to set the AutoAssignLetters ini parameter to Yes (or manually assign them - see the "Joy Letters" section of the User Guide, p24 in latest version). This will prevent possible problems if your USB device numbers change for some reason.

  24. Simple Shift Command vs Compound Command

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    Hi Scott,

    to have different functions on your joystick buttons depending upon whether a key is pressed or not, you can try the following:

    1. First select the key to use. Unfortunately this cannot be just a modifier key (shift, ctrl, alt, etc). For this example, I will use the '|\ key (which is the key next to the leftmost shift key on my keyboard).

    2. Program this key to send a 'BUTTON FLAG Toggle' event, using the FSUIPC 'Key Presses' tab. For the parameter, choose a joystick (and button) number that you do not use (<16) and multiply this by 256. I only have 2 joystick devices, so I choose joystick 10 (button 0), so my parameter will be 2560. Set to send the same control/parameter on both key press and release, and check for 'No repeats!'.

    This will set a button flag (joystick 10, button 0) on keypress, and clear the flag on key release.

    The entry in your ini will look something like:

    [Keys]
    ...
    6=N220,8,1005,2560,1005,2560     -{\|key: Press=BUTTON FLAG Toggle: Joy 10 Button 0, Release=BUTTON FLAG Toggle: Joy 10 Button 0 }-
     

    3. Modify your ini file to add the conditional on any buttons for which you wish to use this feature.  For example, I have the following button entry in my ini file:

    [Buttons]
    ...
    9=PS,0,C65752,0     -{PARKING_BRAKES}-
    ...

    To make this conditional on holding the key I defined ('\'), I would modify this to the following:

    9=CP(F+10,0)S,0,C65752,0     -{PARKING_BRAKES}-
     

    and now I can add a new entry for using this button without the key modifier, e.g.

    [Buttons]
    ...
    9=CP(F+10,0)S,0,C65752,0     -{PARKING_BRAKES}-
    ...
    19=CP(F-10,0)S,0,C66079,0     -{GEAR_UP}-

    Hope that makes sense! Full details on button flags and compound button conditions are in the Advanced User Guide.

    Cheers,

    John
