FSUIPC5 works with P3Dv4, you don't need anything else if you have one PC. WideFS works with all versions of FSUIPC, and allows connection to FSUIPC from slave/secondary PCs. What you need to buy depends on your set-up and what you want to achieve really... Cheers, John

Ignore Axis missing
John Dowson replied to Alhard Horstmann's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Hi Alhard, please try the attached version (5.152a). It will accept the IgnoreThese ini parameter in the [Axes] section using he same format as the one in the buttons section, except that you specify the axis letter after the '.'. Note that there is one 'quirk' in the way I have implemented, in that if you clear or change this parameter when FSUIPC/P3D is running, and you reload the assignments, the initial axes you ignored will still be present and so still ignored. To clear this completely, you need push 'Clr Ignores' button. Please try this and let me know how it goes. Regards, John FSUIPC5.dll- 20 replies

*** Moved from Download Links - please post support requests in the Support forum *** All sales are handled by SimMarket - please contact them directly. If you have a WideFS license, that will work with FSUIPC4 and FSUIPC5.

Please see section 'Changing or removing Profile assignments' in the User Guide (page 22). John

Copy FSUIPC.ini to new install of P3D
John Dowson replied to Sunny Andonov's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
No problem - I'm glad that its now working for you. -
Help with ipc.control please
John Dowson replied to monithi's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
0x654c is a 4-byte float32, so you need to use ipc.readFLT and not ipc.readSD. Presumably you have enabled these offsets as described in the offset mapping document for the PMDG 777X? That document also contains the size and type of each offset, which will help you to determine which ipc.read function to use. John -
GPSOut not writing to COM port
John Dowson replied to AAPSA's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Hi, you can log the COM data by adding these lines to the [General] section of your FSUIPC5.ini file: Debug=Please LogExtras=x40 The data will be in hexadecimal of the ASCII byte values. John -
Throttle Offset Tracking
John Dowson replied to Primesim's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Then thats an lvar! You will need to log that with a lua script. There is one provided (called 'log lvars.lua') that will log ALL lvars for you. You can try that, or as you know the lvar name, should be pretty straightforward to write a short script to read the value (using 'ipc.readLvar') and then logging the value returned. John -

Copy FSUIPC.ini to new install of P3D
John Dowson replied to Sunny Andonov's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Could you attach your original/backup ini file please. If its too big, you can try zipping/compressing. -
Copy FSUIPC.ini to new install of P3D
John Dowson replied to Sunny Andonov's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Hi Sunny, please post/attach your latest FSUIPC log and ini files, and also your joyscan.csv files (all in your Modules folder), and I'll let you know how to update... John -
Throttle Offset Tracking
John Dowson replied to Primesim's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
there is nothing in the log as you need to select 'Normal log file'. Please check that option. 3AE8 is also a float64 (FLT64), and 3A28 also as a float64 only. I don't know why its not updating the 088c value though in the FS/simconnect display window. Could you maybe try also with a default aircraft? John -

You can just use the 'Export' facility from regedit.... -
FSUIPC Modules folder install location
John Dowson replied to von's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
I assumed it was a typo! So the key is correct but the value wrong. Change it from 'F:' to 'F:\P3Dv4\'. -
FSUIPC Modules folder install location
John Dowson replied to von's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
I have correct registry entries for P3Dv4.5HF1.....no point showing you my value though, as I have it installed in a different place.... -
FSUIPC Modules folder install location
John Dowson replied to von's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Oh - you may want to make a copy of your key and ini files from your old Modules directory (if you have them), and drop them into the new one once FSUIPC5 is installed, or just rename your f:\Modules folder (rather than delete) so that you still have access to them, if needed. -
FSUIPC Modules folder install location
John Dowson replied to von's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
You could try editing your registry. Make sure you take a back-up first. Then: Ignore this. Presume 'StuPath' is an error? Anyway, change so that you have SetupPath set to 'F:\P3Dv4\' Thats ok. You will also need to remove and re-install FSUIPC. To do this, remove the FSUIPC5 entry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FSUIPC5, and manually delete the F:\Modules folder. If you then re-run the FSUIPC5 installer, it should hopefully find your P3D installation and install in the correct place, as well as correcting your dll.xml file. Alternatively, maybe uninstalling and then re-installing the P3Dv4 client may correct your registry for you, but I'm not sure on this. Let me know if you have any issues. John -
FSUIPC Modules folder install location
John Dowson replied to von's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Yes, as Pete said, there is something strange in your installation. However, as you selected the P3Dv4 directory when you installed FSUIPC5, this is the directory that should have been used, so there is also an issue in the FSUIPC5 installer that I will look into. As the original problem is your P3Dv4 installation, it would be better going forward for you first to correct that, then you can re-run the FSUIPC installer to install to the correct place. I will be releasing a new version later this week (5.152), so I'll correct this installer problem before I release. John -
Hi Luke, I was investigating this for you, but unfortunately I broke my foot (3 metatarsals) around 5 weeks ago so things have been moving along quite slowly. Its not a problem extracting the viewpoint for you, and then changing this to the correct reference frame, but in my investigations so far I'm only getting the initial viewpoint value from P3D and this doesn't seem to be updated when you change the viewpoint (with the standard P3D key controls). I therefore need to investigate more and possibly raise with LM, so this may take a while. I'll keep you informed. Cheers, John

Mouse macros using FSUIPC.
John Dowson replied to Stinger2k3's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
The earlier versions (FS4, FSX and P3D1-3) used hooks into the actual code to trap the mouse click. In P3Dv4 this is no longer necessary as LM provide facilities as part of its Programmer Development Kit (PDK). Makes the code in FSUIPC much simpler and more foolproof. So mouse macros will not work in non C/C++ SDK Guages in FS4, FSX and P3D1-3. John -
FSUIPC Modules folder install location
John Dowson replied to von's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
That does look strange. I'll look into it and get back you. John -
Hi David, I am not saying that you need to buy a new license! If you need FSUIPC4 then you obviously need a license for FSUIPC4, not FSUIPC5. I was just pointing out that FSUIPC4 and FSUIPC5 are different products and require different licenses. If you already have a license for FSUIPC4 then use that. John

All 3 components (name, email, key) must be exactly as specified in your purchase email from SimMarket - please cut and paste from there. If your current licence is for FSUIPC4, then you will need to purchase a new license for FSUIPC5. Your address is with SimMarket and can be updated from our SimMarket account. Please do not post or attach any key details - I have removed them for you. John

Ignore Axis missing

I'm not sure this is needed.... Can you not use the 'Ignore Axis' button (top right) in the Axis Assignment tab?- 20 replies
