[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.

[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,

John

[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

 

[P3Dv4 ground friction]

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.

[perte de mon numéro de validation de la licence Spuipc5 (réponse)]

All licenses for FSUIPC are allocated and can be retrieved from your simMarket account.

[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.

 

[fsuipc 5 doesnt recognize control stick]

Looks like your registry is in a bit of a mess and needs cleaning.

The first thing to try to do this is:

1. Disconnect your devices
2. Uninstall the devices from the device manager
3. Reboot your PC.
4. Re-connect your devices - let windows install the default device drivers
5. Start P3D.

Once this is done, post the log, ini and joyscan csv files again please.

 

[Short freeze on button press]

Hi,

could you post the lua script please?

 

[PMDG 737 Offsets]

No, sorry - not heard of MobiFlight before. Just googled it though and it looks interesting...

 

[fsuipc 5 doesnt recognize control stick]

Sorry, just posted a possible solution when I noticed the GUIDs for your two devices are the same!

Can you post your FSUIPC5.Joyscan.csv file please?

[PMDG 737 Offsets]

You need to convert the decimal value to hexadecimal, so

        4976 = 0x1370

which would correspond to a frequency of 113.70 (BCD format).

Hope that helps,

John

 

[fsuipc 5 doesnt recognize control stick]

Hi,

looks like your stick and throttle have both been assigned a joystick id of 1. You will need to change the id of one of the devices by following  the steps Pete posted in this recent thread:

[FSUIPC registration (P3D 4.4)]

By the way, the key file should be in  J:\Lockheed Martin\Modules and not 'J:\Prepar3d\modules'  as mentioned....

[Mouse macro with push buttons]

Hi Erwan,

the log file shows the mouse macro is being activated ok.

There are a few things you could try:

1. Duplicate your macro file (giving it another name), and in the second file change the left mouse-click code (3) to a left release (13) [P38 of Advanced User Manual]. Then assign this macro to the key release.

2. Instead of using two macro files (as above), you could edit the existing macro to contain both the left click and the release - see the section entitled 'Multiple actions in one macro control' P37 of advanced user manual.

3. If the above two fail, add event logging to see whats being sent when you both click and release with the mouse in the sim.

Cheers,

John

 

 

 

[FSUIPC registration (P3D 4.4)]

Hi,

did you try starting P3D and checking if FSUIPC is registered? If you key file is still in the modules folder it will check the registration when you start P3D.

 

[AlsoManage not working in P3d v4]

Hi,

what files are not being deleted?

Try adding the additional logging flags to your FSUIPC5.ini file, as mentioned above:

Debug=Please

So does it need ext. focus(h) at the end? What exactly do I type? 

Yes, of course it needs that. Its pretty simple - the first line gets the handle of the window that needs the focus, the 2nd line sets the focus to the window with that handle.

Quote

Then how do I put that in modules folder? 

You need to create a file with those lines using a text editor, such as notepad++ (better) or notepad.

John

[Active Window]

I believe the exe is Prepar3d.exe (but open task manager with ctrl-alt-del to check), so it would be

h = ext.gethandle("Prepar3d.exe") --name is program name incl .exe, or program title (as listed in Task Manager)
ext.focus(h)
