  1. I see you are using OneDrive. This may be causing issues Could you try re-installing to a folder outside of your Documents folder. The Documents\Prepar3D v5 Add-ons\ folder should really only be used to hold the FSUIPC6/add-on.xml file anyway. Just re-run the installer and select a different folder (e.g. C:\Prepare3D Add-ons\FSUIPC6). This will also uninstall FSUIPC6 from its current location. You will need to move your files (.key, .ini, .lua, .mcro, etc) and folders across to the new installation location afterwards.
  2. What sort of macros? If its mouse macros, these would normally have to be remade for each aircraft as the mouse rectangles can have different ids. If you are using macros with standard controls/events, then these may not work with some complex add-on aircraft as they tend to implement there own controls/sub-systems rather than rely on the P3D ones. If they are using lvars, the lvars may be different for the different models. So it depends. Maybe post your macros and more information on the airbus models that work and don't work, and someone with a similar model may be able to help. John
  3. Did you also copy your FSUIPC5.ini to your new installation folder and rename it to FSUIPC6.ini? Could you attach your .log and .ini files and I'll take a look.
  4. Lua files go in the FSUIPC6 installation folder, i.e. the folder which you selected to install FSUIPC6 into during the installation process. If you don't know where this is, you can use the 'Open Folder' button from the Logging tab. John
  5. No, there is no such function. You are probably better off using a user offset to drive your gear light indicator (e.g. starting offset 66C0). You could have a lua script that simply copies the gear offsets (0BEC, OBF0, 0BF4) to this area if gear is retractable (offset 060C), or otherwise writes 0. John
  6. It seems that that offset area is documented as for general use by mistake! That area is actually reserved for the "SoundViaIPC" interface documented in the FSUIPC for Programmers guide. This is very little used so I could make this optional, but for now I'll just update the documentation in the next release. I suggest you use one of the other offset areas for general use instead, maybe starting at 66C0. John
  7. Verified. I'll look into it. John
  8. You can do that to start your scripts. However, you won't be able to stop them from there when the aircraft changes. To do this, you would also have to monitor the aircraft name in each script so that it can stop itself when the aircraft name changes, as I said.
  9. You can also use the [Auto.<xxx>] section of your ini (where <xxx> is the profile name) to automatically start/kill luas on aircraft load/change. See the Advanced User guide, section entitled Automatic running of Macros and Lua plugins. John
  10. Do you have the rudder pedals off in the MCDU options menu? See this post over on the FSL forum: https://forums.flightsimlabs.com/index.php?/topic/7942-setting-up-the-tiller-using-fsuipc-registered/
  11. Yes, you can skip the registration - if you have already registered, your existing key file will be used. If not, you will be using an unregistered version. If you have purchased a license, you need to enter the details to enable the extra functionality. If you don't have a license, you will only have access to the free functionality. John
  12. I mean you should choose 'Send to FS as normal axis' in FSUIPC instead of 'Send direct to FSUIPC calibration'. The controls when this is selected are the standard P3D ones, not the "special" ones added by FSUIPC. You do not need to able controllers in P3D for this. Probably also a good idea to delete/remove any calibration entries for the tiller when you do this (by editing the ini). So, as I previously said, try selecting 'Send to FS as normal axis' and then select the Steering Set or Axis Steering Set control from there. This should then use the standard P3D control with no rudder/tiller blending.
  13. Hi Ramon, I took a look but there's nothing we can do about this in FSUIPC. The problem has been reported to LM, but I'm afraid I can't find these posts due to the limited search facilities provided ('_' is treated as a space and 'simconnect' and 'menu' entry are too common to be searched for!). I think that you would be better off converting these to standard key presses (to select the appropriate menu entry), as discussed earlier in this thread. Cheers, John
  14. Have you assigned to the FSUIPC control SteeringTiller? If so, try the FS control Steering Set (or Axis Steering Set) instead.
  15. No, they don't. They terminate when FSUIPC closes. Each of your scripts can also monitor the aircraft name offset, and when this changes they can auto-teminate by calling ipc.exit(). John
  16. I assume that it does work, in that it is running and you can access the UI. I can't see your image, but if you can only see the Logging and About tabs, then this indicates that you are using an unregistered version of FSUIPC4. To see the tabs that provide the functionality of a registered version, you have to register during the installation process. John
  17. Ok, I'll check this. A bit busy at the moment, so may take a while - hopefully next week. John
  18. I see you also created another thread with the same post. I'll remove that. Which FSUIPC6 version are you using? Did you try with the latest (v6.0.8)?
  19. First, you posted in the FAQ sub-forum, where it explicitly states 'NOT for support requests'. Please post all support requests in the main Support forum. Those messages are from ADE, and so are better contacting their support forum. However, those messages indicate that you have either not installed FSUIPC or you have installed an incompatible version (I have no ide what version is required for ADE - check the requirements). A sinole google search reveals the following links relating to ADE/FSUIPC and your problem: https://scruffyduck.screenstepslive.com/s/help_docs/m/20268/l/223951-how-do-i-connect-ade-to-the-simulator https://scruffyduck.screenstepslive.com/s/help_docs/m/20268/l/204051-how-do-i-connect-ade-to-the-flight-simulator John
  20. Please see this post: From that post, this may be relevant: John
  21. I have just tried this with the AC11 and it works fine. When I press the assigned button, the barometric pressure is set to 1013.25 which is reflected by the value 16212 in offset 0330 (and I also see the altimeter change). I see you are using LINDA. Maybe try disabling this and retest without this. Your mouse actions for STD and decrement are the same (and it is the same mouse 'rectangle' for all three assignments): 11=Baro_STD=RX20000802,3 12=Baro_DEC=RX20000802,3 13=Baro_INC=RX20000802,1 If there is no separate 'rectangle' for the different positions, then you can only vary the mouse operation (the last parameter). You could try with a different code (e.g. 2 for a 'middle single click' - see P38 of the Advanced User guide for a complete list of codes). As I don't have the Dash, I can't advise further for mouse macros with that aircraft. You should also try with the default key assignment for standard barometric pressure - 'B'. Does this work for you?
  22. A specific FSUIPC control ('auto-save toggle')was recently added in FSUIPCv5.154 that allows autosave to be dynamically enabled/disabled. It should be relatively straightforward to write a lua script to activate this toggle when required (e.g. either by monitoring the plane/ground altitude, or on gear down/up).
  23. First, can you update to v6.0.8 as we only support the latest versions of FSUIPC. Could you also - try with a default aircraft to see if the assignment works there - attach your FSUIPC6.ini file so we can see your assignment - activate event (non axis controls) logging as well as buttons & key operations, logging from the FSUIPC logging tab, produce a log showing your issue and attach Thanks, John
  24. I need to do it the other way around as I don't currently have access to the key generation facilities for FSUIPC4, so PM me your FSUIPC4 details and I'll generate a new WideFS7 key for you using those. John
  25. What error? If you are talking about FSFK, then you need to contact their support. If you have an issue with FSUIPC, please explain what the issue is. John
