  1. I am confused as to what is actually happening! To be honest, I have no idea what "bug" you are referring to. Are you saying that you not longer get to the MSFS main menu when you start MSFS? Can you no longer use the sim? What 'page' does MSFS show you once started and loaded? Later: sorry, as you said 'it runs till the opening screen (Mount Fuji) but no step further as it used to. ' So it just hangs there? Check the Asobo/MSFS forums and see if any one else has reported this, and if not raise a zendesk ticket.
  2. In MSFS, you cannot disable controllers. However, you can create an empty profile for your controllers. If you create a new profile it will automatically be empty. It also seems that MSFS doesn't suffer from the same problem (i.e. automatically re-assigning to a controller) as P3D/FSX, so you can mix and match, and assign to some controls in MSFS and others in FSUIPC7. This is useful as there are quite a few controls (e.g. for view control and slewing) that work in MSFS but not via SimConnet (i.e. in FSUIPC7). The alternative to assigning such controls in MSFS is to assign in FSUIPC7 but to an MSFS keyboard assignment (this is how I currently control my views and eyepoint). John P.S. Try yo give your posts an appropriate title! This helps other users who have a similar query. I will update it.
  3. Just remove the -FastLaunch - you nee the App bit, so should be cmd.exe /C start shell:AppsFolder\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_ 8.............bwe!App However, I'm not sure why you would want to do this... I don't know what this means. As I said, FSUIPC7 in no way affects MSFS - you can always start it however you used to, before you installed FSUIPC7. Its not a registration key and is fine to be public. John
  4. Yes. A few. These ae the current 'undocumented' controls that have been added: AILERON_TRIM_SET RUDDER_TRIM_SET TOGGLE_AIRCRAFT_EXIT_FAST HEADING_SLOT_INDEX_SET SPEED_SLOT_INDEX_SET ALTITUDE_SLOT_INDEX_SET VS_SLOT_INDEX_SET THROTTLE_REVERSE_THRUST_TOGGLE AVIONICS_MASTER_1_SET AVIONICS_MASTER_2_SET It has also been noted that the TOGGLE_MASTER_BATTERY control accepts a parameter to toggle individual batteries - see John
  5. You license has expired. The time-limited license for FSUIPC7-beta expired yesterday. If you want to use the assignment facilities, you will need to purchase a license from SimMarket. John
  6. There is something strange going on with your devices - there seems to be a mix-up/registry problems between your TQ6+ and a vjoy device. First you have this: You have the same joystick id (4) assigned yo your RUDDO+ and one of your x-box controllers (do you have 2?) Then the mix-up between the TQ6+ and a vjoy device - from your log So the TQ6+ has been acquired but with the GUID of a vjoy device. And your axes assignments are to device 'C', which is: So it seems your registry is in a bit of a mess and there seems to be a problem with a vjoy device. There are a few things to try: - revise your vjoy set-up - disconnect your TQ6+ and Ruddo+, remove any drivers and reboot, then re-connect to see if the issue get resolved - if that doesn't work, you will need to clean your registry. If you can show me your FSUIPC7.Joyscan.csv file I can help you with this. John
  7. FSUIPC7 already supports the 8.33KHz frequency range via the 32bit int offsets (e.g. 05C4,05C8, 05CC, 05D0). However, it seems that the MSFS SDK does not yet support this. This has already been raised with Asobo.
  8. I was just trying to say that FSUIPC7 does not affect MSFS at all (it doesn't change anything) - its standalone, so you can still start MSFS how you used to without FSUIPC or the link it creates. FSUIPC7 will have no affect until it is ran, and can't interfere with the start-up process (apart, of course, from the using the -FastLoad option in the bat file).
  9. FSUIPC7 is a separate application and does not affect MSFS. However, if you are talking about the optional desktop link that starts MSFS and FSUIPC7, then this starts MSFS with the -FastLaunch option (for MS Store installs only). Does that bypass the update check? I didn't know it did that (I have a steam install). You can remove this by editing the file MSFSwithFSUIPC7.bat - just fine that option (end of line 7) and remove it. John
  10. There is only a discount available for FSUIPC7 for FSUIPC5 and FSUIPC6 license holders, sorry. John
  11. I see the empty line in the log, which is strange. However, my controls still work fine. I do continually get the following message: 795062 #### ERROR: No SimConnect data seen for more than set stall time! which is not good! As I said, I'll investigate and get back to you.
  12. Leave it with me, I'll get back to you.
  13. Ok! I thought your issue was that it wasn't being sent! Could you try assigning the Tab-T on its own, to see if it works like that. However, it may be a timing issue when you are overloading the keypresses on a single button. It may be better to use the controls directly, or maybe a lua script. Leave it with me and I''ll get back to you, but it may take a day or two. John
  14. I'm also wondering maybe if its the use of the tab key. Iy is being treated as a modifier key when it isn't really. I'll do some tests over the next few days and get back to you.
  15. So the switch has two buttons, with the press being sent on each when iy goes to up/down, and a release sent when you put ity back to the centre. This is what I expected. So this is sending the ctrl+L, as expected: 18125 SendKeyToFS(0002004C=[ctl+L], KEYDOWN) ctr=0 18234 SendKeyToFS(0002004C=[ctl+L], KEYUP) ctr=0 This is your release, and is sending the Ctrl+L followed by the Tab+T:: 28359 SendKeyToFS(0002004C=[ctl+L], KEYDOWN) ctr=0 28359 SendKeyToFS(0002004C=[ctl+L], KEYUP) ctr=2 28359 SendKeyToFS(00080054=[tab+T], KEYDOWN) ctr=4 28468 SendKeyToFS(00080054=[tab+T], KEYUP) ctr=0 So it looks to me that its sending exactly what you have assigned. So what exactly is the issue? Maybe its the timing... with the tab+T down being sent at the same time as the keyup for the Ctr+L?
  16. Is MSFS running?
  17. By the way, does this occur all the time or only occasionally? I've had FSUIPC7 running for several hours and have closed/re-opened MSFS several times. I have noticed an issue with data from simconnect seeming to be stalled (although aircraft operates ok), so I'll look into this, but other than that it seems to be ok. I am wondering if this could be due to the Rotaries.lua that you are auto-starting. Maybe you could test without this running. Looks like FSUIPC7 isn't killing the luas when the FS disconnects which it should I guess. I'll look into this. John
  18. Yes, of course. But as I said, the batch files (and shortcut) are only there as a convenience, you don't have to use them, and you can adjust them to your needs (i.e. remove message or splash screen). For all other flight sims, FSUIPC was an embedded dll and so always closed with the FS.
  19. Please repeat but with the assignment UI panel closed. I am interested in the 'Button changed' log messages..... That log shows the switch has two "buttons", but its not logging the releases with the ui panel open.
  20. I think you should remove any assignments to that switch, activate button logging and then move the switch between the three settings to see what is actually being sent on each change. If its a 3-position switch, it must be using more than one button number, otherwise I don't know how it can function properly. I don't have any 3 position switches so cannot advise. Try operating it with logging on (and the console open), and see what button presses/releases you see when you change its position: off -> up up -> off off -> down down->off ?
  21. Sorry, I don't understand what this means. They are both distinct applications. Nothing is stopping you from doing that. Just don't use the provided batch file (and don't install the link on your desktop), and start FSUIPC7 as before, by running the FSUIPC7.exe. If you don't want FSUIPC7 to exit when you exit MSFS, then disable that option from the Options menu. The batch file (and desktop link) are provided for convenience only. You don't have to use them. John
  22. Just tried it and it works ok here.... Did you edit the ini file with FSUIPC7 still running and not 'reload' it? Try exiting FSUIPC7 and check your ini to make sure the assignments are still there. Here's my log with those assignments (different device and button number) - it is sending two Ctrl+L and one tab+T: I am wondering if you have programmed this to a "sticky" button, i.e. one that on first press sends a button down, and on second press sends a button up. Even so, it should still be sending the two keys on the button up. You can zip it if its too big. John
  23. I mean that you should not start a new log by selecting 'New Log' from the log menu. I'll investigate and get back to you.
  24. Can you also attach your FSUIPC7.ini file. And when you attach a log, please always attach the full log, not a continuation. There is also information at the beginning of the file that I need to see. John
  25. No idea, but maybe your device was in a weird state.... So its recognized and you are good to go, no?
