    one of my controls will never center

    Which one? The rudder? Your image shows you have the centre/null zone set at 331. This should be a range (usually something like -512, 512). You also have no calibration for your throttle.

    when I move it a little in the sim it goes the other way

    Which axis again? If the axis is reversed, you need to check the 'Rev' box for that axis in the calibration page.

    Please read the calibration section of the User Guide for details on how to assign and calibrate your axis.

    If you requite any further help, please give more information (axis? aircraft?) and post your ini and log files, not screen shots - these don't tell me much.

    Thanks,

    John

  2. What sim are you using? What version of FSUIPC?

    Can you also check that you have your controllers disabled in your sim.  Then if you are still having issues, please provide more details (which axis, sim, aircraft, etc) and also post both your ini and log files (from your FSUIPC installation directory).

  3. Hi Alan,

    could you try the 5.151b version posted in this thread (in second to last comment):

    Its a dll file but named as a .txt - just download it, rename to FSUIPC5.dll and use it to replace the existing one in your modules folder.

    Thee are only some minor changes in this version, but I would be interested to know if you still get the .NET framework error with this version (was it a COM error?)

    Thanks,

    John

  4. FSUIPC5 requires a new license - it is a different product (a near complete rewrite) to FSUIPC4 due to the change from 32-bit to 64-bit.

    Your WideFS license is still valid. Note that WideServer is now part of FSUIPC5 and so the WideServer application is not needed with FSUIPC5.

    P.S. You posted in the FAQ section. I have moved it for you, but please post all support requests here in the support forum.

  5. If there are key commands, you can assign buttons directly to those. However, reading your earlier post it seems that this works for other aircraft for you, but not the PMDG ones, no?

    You could also try mouse macros.  You will probably need to play around with the mouse control codes - I have had success for left/right knob turns with the mouse-wheel up/down codes, but you will need to try them.  I don't have any PMDG aircraft, sorry.

  6. Hi Onno,

    first, you are using an old unsupported version of FSUIPC5 - can you update to the latest supported version, 5.151.

    If you still get error 1332, you can manually edit the Modules folder permissions yourself to allow full access, by right clicking on the folder properties:  select Security-->Edit-> Add, enter Everyone as the object name, then 'Check Names' and 'OK'. Then give 'Full Control' to the 'Everyone' group just added.

    Alternatively, as your P3D installation is under the 'Program Files' folder (which is why you are having this issue), you could run P3D as administrator, which would then allow FSUIPC to write to the modules folder.

    Regards,

    John

  7. Hi Pietro,

    your dll looks fine. Enabling logging in SimConnect is defined (for FSX) here (yes, from 2006 and for FSX, but still valid!):

    For P3D its the same - create the SimConnect.ini file in your P3D documents folder.

    I will be away from my sim/dev PCs (travelling/working) for the next 8 days so it may take me longer to respond during this period.

    Cheers,

    John

     Would it be better to upgrade to the paid version?

    The versions are the same, its just that some features are disabled in the unregistered version. If its crashing with the unregistered version, it will also crash in the registered version. Also no point upgrading unless you are going to use some of the features it brings - check the user manual for this.

    Let me know how it goes with the NoWeatherAtAll flag set.

    Cheers,

    John

  9. Hi Pietro,

    if there is no FSUIPC in the Add-on menu, then it is not loaded/started which is strange as your installation looks fine. Can you post your DLL.XML file from the Appdata\Roaming L-M folder for P3D4 please (C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\DLL.XML).

    You can also activate SimConnect logging to see why the dll is not loaded. See the FAQ thread for details on how to do this and re-run P3D. Then find the SimConnect log file and show me that please. It should show why it isn't being loaded (assuming your DLL.XML is correct).

    Thanks,

    John

     

  10. Hi Alan,

    the usual cause of such crashes is a corrupt weather file, so you first need to eliminate that as a possibility. If you have a wxstationlist.bin file in your Appdata\roaming P3D4 folder (where your PREPAR3D.cfg file is), then please remove it. It will be regenerated when you start P3D. If the file isn't there, or if the problem persists, can you try adding

    NoWeatherAtAll=Yes

    to the [General] section of the FSUIPC5.INI file.

    If that solves your issue, then it could be another corrupt weather file somewhere..

    If it doesn't solve your issue, then as you are using an unregistered version it may be something to do with Radar Contact as it looks like that is all you have that is using FSUIPC. We can look into this once the weather has been checked.

    Btw, do the crashes occur in a certain area or under certain conditions, or do they seem random? what do you mean by 'regular' - on every flight?

    Cheers,

    John
