  1. Tp make the behavior when handling events more consistent in FSUIPC7. In all other places, when FSUIPC handles an event, it is then masked/trapped and not forwarded to be handled by the FS (or other third party programs), except if specifically requested by the user. [Note not currently the case in FSUIPC7 (for MSFS) where masking of most event types is broken] No, I believe it should be left as it is now. Just use the provided ini parameter. But any keys should only be trapped/masked if you are actually handling them in the lua script - why are you handling the 0-9 keys in the lua if they are for GSX?
  2. Yes. Thats what they are for. No, a profile all three assignment types (axes, buttons, keys) are always applied yo an aircraft in a profile. Note, however, they can be empty, and an aircraft will also have general assignments applied (if not overridden in a profile) for buttons and keys (but no axes).
  3. I haven't yet checked this in the latest SDK release (will do this later), but I think there are still issues with the SimConnect flight load/save functions. If you use the FUIPC7 File -> Load Flight... menu option, this will open a file selection dialog on the default location for autosave files (all editions).
  4. I take it you are running the one on the desktop, no? If so, try running the one in the folder that also has the key file. There is no .log or .ini in that folder, so it hasn't been ran. That's where you installed and where the key file is. There is no key file on your desktop. If you want to run it from there (not recommended!), then you need a key file on the desktop. Its usual to drag a shortcut to an application to the desktop, not the application itself! I would remove those desktop files, and create a shortcut instead if you want one.
  5. Yes, that's the build date and nothing to do with the license!
  6. But you do not have to register. If you click the Register button it will say its invalid. Just click Skip. The installer will not valid time-limited licenses, and the beta installer installs the key file anyway so you can skip this process. Try the attached key file, although it should be the same as the one you have: FSUIPC7.key If you are still having issues, you can post your install log files as well as your FSUIPC7.log file.
  7. I really don't understand this. I don't think I have never issued a key with such an expiration date. Where did you see this? The key file you quoted shows 08/11/2020 - 8th November not September. That's even stranger? Did you install under a folder that requires admin permissions (e.g. Program Files)? And why would it access a different key file (with a different expiry date) when running as admin? FSUIPC7 only checks the FSUIPC7.key file in the same location as the FSUIPC7.exe, which has an expiry of 8th November, as your initial post shows.
  8. Not really, but FSUIPC could be part of a solution to accomplish this. But FSUIPC only runs on the same machine as the FS, to enable network capabilities you would need to add WideClient into the mix. This would then allow you to run FSUIPC clients on a remote PC, or use controllerss attached there, as well as run lua scripts, etc. For displaying on a second PC though you will need WideView - or something similar. I don't know if there is a working version yet for MSFS, you would have to check, You cam dowmload and try FSUIPC7 (for MSFS) - check the Announcements sub-forum for the link. It currently coms with a time-limited license, valid until 8th November. Documentation is also included, but some of that is a bit out of date (currently being updated). Note that for FSUIPC7, I plan to make this runnable on a client PC at some stage, but this functionality is currently unavailable (in the beta), and won't be ready for the initial launch. John
  9. For folks having issues, please try the following: - first, manually run the uninstaller (located in the FSUIPC7 installation folder) - then re-run the installer John

  11. Of course - it works the same way for everyone!
  12. Then you are not using the latest installer. What is the build date of the FSUIPC7 version you are using? If its not 30/10/2020 then you need to update - check your FSUIPC7.log file, or the Help -> About dialog. Also, when downloading, maybe your browser is giving you a cached/older copy of the installer, so try clearing your cache. I have checked all 4 available downloadable files and they are all correct.

  13. Well, that's a matter of opinion. And it wasn't one window four tabs, it was one window with MANY tabs, and it was difficult to determine which tab you were actually on. It was implemented like this as it was in a dll (embedded in the FS) and so there was only FS menu entry to open FSUIPC. I much prefer the new layout! I did initially duplicate the UI and the FSUIPC main window was a tabbed window, equivalent to the old FSUIPC. However, I didn't like this and so re-organised to make the separate facilities available from the different menu items. A lot clearer and cleaner IMHO. This also leave the main window free, where I plan to implement a user-defined "button" window, as currently provided by WideClient. This also becomes even more useful when I update to allow FSUIPC7 to run on a client PC, providing WideClient-light functionality (i.e. it will use its own offset area and so no communication to any FSUIPC7 running on the FS machine). John
  14. Hi Chris, no, you are not alone. The time-limited license previously provided expired on the 31st October. You need to download the latest installer and re-install, as this includes an updated time-limited license valid until 8th November. John
  15. No. As FSUIPC7 is now a stand-alone application (an exe rather than a dll), it contains separate panels for the functionality provided. Why don't you just download and take a look?
  16. The registration is good up until 8th November. Did you actually try it? Note that, as with the previous key/installer, the installer will not validate a time limited licence. As you the installer installs the key file, you can Skip the registration.
  17. The license expired. You need to download the latest release which contains a new key file (with a license valid for another week) and re-install from that. John
  18. The key file you are using has expired. You need to download the latest release and re-install using that. John
  19. Can you also attach your FSUIPC7.ini file please. What are you starting in your ipcInit.lua? Maybe try without that. Also, if you are still using AxisScanOnSimConnectOpen, then please try without that. John
  20. I suspect that its the control that you are sending is not working in your selected aircraft. There are many controls that don't work, especially for the G1000. But as you are using LINDA, you need LINDA support. I don't use LINDA and can't help with that, sorry.
  21. The price for FSUIPC7 will be 24.99euros (+ applicable tax) or equivalent. There will be an automatic discount of 10euros for FSUIPC5 and FSUIPC6 license holders. No discount for earlier/32bit versions I'm afraid.
  22. The license/key file previously included expired yesterday. The latest installer extends the beta license until 8th November.
  23. The image you posted shows you are using an unregistered version of FSUIPC7 (no Assignments menu entry). Did you install the the key file? Re-run the installer and make sure that you select to install the provided key file, and skip registration. John
  24. You posted in the wrong forum - I have moved your post. No you haven' t as it currently not for sale. To use WideFS with FSUIPC7-beta, you have to use the instructions provided in the beta release note. Your question has also been asked before (yesterday) - please check the forum for similar questions before posting. See
