Switch Panel recommendation
John Dowson replied to cruzer's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
No recommendations, but any device recognised by windows as a hid device should work with FSUIPC. The Saitek switch panel does not work with FSUIPC as its not a HID device. For this (commonly used) switch panel, there is an additional freeware driver (SPAD) or payware version (SPAD.next) that can be used. -
FSUIPC5 is for P3Dv4 only. For FSX, you need FSUIPC4. For the PMDG 747, there is a dedicated offset area. Please see the PMDG documentation provided with FSUIPC (all versions).

1. I haven't tested vjoy with FSUIPC6 but it should work. If not it will be updated. 2. We advise to disable controllers in P3D if assigning all axis in FSUIPC. The reason for this is that P3D has a tendency to automatically re-assign an axis when recognised that is not already assigned in P3D, which can then cause conflicts with dual assignments. No problems if you are assigning all you axis in P3D. 3. No, sorry. There is the freeware version that allows 3rd party programs to use the offsets to communicate with P3D, but no trial version with assignment functionality. 4. No. FSUIPC6 will work with P3Dv4 and P3Dv5. You will get free upgrades for the life of FSUIPC6. For FSX, you need FSUIPC4 which is a different product.

Sounds like the downloaded file was corrupted somehow. Please download the installer again and re-try. The download is a zip file. When you extract, you should get the installer (an exe file) as well as an installation and registration guide (pdf) and a textfile containing recent changes. Run the exe (windows 10 64-bit).

If you are changing the image definition, it will create a new bitmap and overwrite the existing one. If you want to display/keep multiple bitmaps, you would have to save/rename the original before updating. FSUIPC only provides the facilities to create the bitmap. Sorry, but I do not use Project Magenta and cannot advise further. Have you tried their support? John

No way to install Fsuipc
John Dowson replied to Denis Albisser's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
FSUIPC6 will be installed in the selected installation directory, not necessarily in the Modules folder. Please see the Installation and Registration guide. -
WideFS7 is compatible with FSUIPC6.

FSUIPC and AI Separation
John Dowson replied to UniformAlpha2014's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
I am sorry but I cannot support AIS. I do not have or use this add-on. You could try with Debug=Please LogExtras=x10000 This should log a lot less and may help. -
What version of FSUIPC6 are you using? Can you attach you .log file please. John P.S. It seems that this is an issue with LINDA that Andrew is investigating. There is a lot of logging that could be activated, but I'm not sure if this would be useful at this stage. Andrew will let me know if he needs any assistance with this. Make sure you are on the latest FSUIPC6 version though - 6.0.4.

FSUIPC and AI Separation
John Dowson replied to UniformAlpha2014's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Changes to FSUIPC are listed in the History document. Recent changes that affect AI traffic include - Improvements to AI traffic limiter (v5.152, July 2019) - bug fixed causing a CTD when controlling many aircraft (v5,152, July 2019( - new offsets added for count of ground and airborne AI traffic (v5,152, July 2019) - new "Traffic" tab introduced with additional controls and ini parameters (v5.152, December 2019) - Correction to reading of ZapCylinderAltDiff ini parameter (v5.152, December 2019) - correction to logging of period AI traffic data (v5.155, March 2020) You will need to ask AIS this! You could enable logging of AI data. To do this, add the following to the [General] section of your ini: Debug=Please LogExtras=x40000 Be warned though. This will produce HUGE logs. May be better to enable when well away from busy airports but are still getting a few updates that exhibit your problem. To enable it in the Sim, leave the "Debug=Please" set in the INI file, but not the LogExtras= line. Then, to turn it on, go to FSUIPC options, Logging tab, and enter 262144 in the Extras edit box, near bottom left. (262144 is the same as x40000 but in decimal because that edit box won't accept hex). You can then later disable by changing that back to 0. -
no funciona el fsuipc 6 en P3dv4
John Dowson replied to Mario69's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
You do not provide enough information. What version of FSUIPC? What version of prepar3d? Did you register your key during the installation process? Please attach your .log file. -
Need 64-bit fsuipc_java.dll file?
John Dowson replied to crazzmc's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Thanks Paul. I'll add them to the SDK for the next release - you can zip them up and attach them when ready. -
Brakes Don't disengage
John Dowson replied to markmasterson's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Hi Julius, I'm sorry but I cannot understand what you are trying to say. Can you please answer the following questions: Is this problem for the PMDG aircraft only? Do the brakes work for all or any other aircraft (you said it was working in the FS-Labs-320, no)? Why do you say "RightBrake good" for the PMDG? If this is the case, then you do not have a problem. IF your problem is only with PMDG, then you could try with sending the brake axis to the FS rather than to FSUIPC calibration (and remove the calibration entry). However, if you do this, you may need to add the scaling I previously provided otherwise your range would be too small (0-1023), and may also need to reverse (by making the multiplier negative and adding 16384 rather than subtracting), But before you try anything else, I really need to see your .ini (the whole file, not extracts), and the log file with Axis controls logging active, and showing each brake activated separately through its full range. I have asked for this several times now, and cannot help further if you do not provide these. Cheers, John -
Need 64-bit fsuipc_java.dll file?
John Dowson replied to crazzmc's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Hi Patrick, this sounds like it would be interesting (I was a java developer for 20+ years), but unfortunately I have no time at all to look into this at the moment or for the foreseeable future. I will make a note though to take a look at some point, but I can't see this happening until much later in the year. Regards, John -
Brakes Don't disengage
John Dowson replied to markmasterson's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
If your right brake is good, do the same for the left brake then. But if that is the case, what is your problem? -
Hi, could you please try the following dll: FSUIPC5.DLL I've tested with your script and the release is printed with the shift. Cheers, John

New USB TPM (SimMax) is not recognized on ini
John Dowson replied to Eran's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Hi Eran, ok, not sure what you mean but I'm glad your problem is resolved! John -
Hi Diego, first you posted in the 'Download Links' sub-forum. Please do not post there - all new support request should be posted in the main forum (or in the .net client dll, if the request is related to this dll). You have also not provided enough information. What sim are you using? What version of FSUIPC? Which aircraft? If you are using FSUIPC for this, what have you assigned? Please post your ini and log files.

FSUIPC 6 interface ID in prepar3d v5
John Dowson replied to niksan29's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
No, as I said, FSUIPC doesn't "return" anything. It populates offsets with the information to be read. -
FSUIPC 6 interface ID in prepar3d v5
John Dowson replied to niksan29's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
The version comes from the sim via SimConnect. SimConnect is an API. -
Brakes Don't disengage
John Dowson replied to markmasterson's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Just noticed this. Are you saying that your brakes are working ok in this aircraft, and your problem is just with the PMDG aircraft? If thats the case, you could try sending the brake axis to the FS instead of to calibration, as axis calibration in FSUIPC is known to cause issues with PMDG aircraft due to priority levels. If doing this, I think you would then need to scale your axis values as previously indicated so that the sim sees the full range. Again, seeing your full ini would have been useful. -
FSUIPC 6 interface ID in prepar3d v5
John Dowson replied to niksan29's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
But I have no idea where that comes from - it is coming from the program you are using, not FSUIPC. You need to ask them. FSUIPC does not return anything. It populates offsets with the sim version.
