Monitor GPU Memory in P3D5
John Dowson replied to cellular55's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Hi Joe, no, sorry - there is no offset for GPU memory. You could also try the "game bar" performance meter - windows key + G (Widget menu -> Performance) John -
FS2020 - A lot of informations
John Dowson replied to Timonier's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
It's a bit more involved than that. I can't really say anymore due to the NDA. I'll post an announcement on MSFS/FSUIPC on the 18th, and try and include information on what we know isn't currently working, either due to facilities now working or currently not available in MSFS, or due to not yet being implemented in FSUIPC7. John -
FS2020 - A lot of informations
John Dowson replied to Timonier's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
The increment and decrement controls for aileron/rudder trim are still available, its just the axes controls that are (currently) not available for assignment. What makes you think this? Saitek device compatibility for MSFS/FSUIPC7 is the same as for FSUIPC6/5/4, i.e. yoke and throttle should be recognised and assignable but you would need SPAD or SPAD.next (or maybe lua) for radio panels, multi-switch boxes, etc. John -

John Dowson replied to Timonier's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
The reason for this is that there are currently no facilities to access lvars in the MSFS SDK (i.e. no panels access). We have requested such facilities, and if/when provided, the relevant lvar functions will be re-instated. -

The LUA interface will be available. Some functions will no longer work and will be removed (e.g. lvar access) , but the majority should be ok. I don't know about LINDA. John -
FS2020 - A lot of informations
John Dowson replied to Timonier's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Its currently only available to MSFS third party developers due to restrictions on SDK access.If you are an MSFS third party developer, check the MSFS forum for details on how to access. -
Your registration details work here, although I have not tried to register via the installer. I've PM'ed you a key file. Please try that. If you have a WideFS license that you wish to add (using the same name/email), then you can add another line with your WideFS key as follows: WideFS=your 12 digit WideFS key John

Generally yes, but with a few changes: - no ALT modifier for key assignments, no masking of key assignments (due to SDK issues) so you need to ensure the key is not assigned in the sim - key assignments function when MSFS has focus AND when FSUIPC7 has focus - the following axes are no longer available: KEY_AILERON_TRIM_SET, KEY_RUDDER_TRIM_SET John -

Yes. I will post again with updated information when we hear anything. -

No. That doesn't use a 64-bit SimConnect.dll. It uses the old 32-bit SimConnect.lib. We can't go back to 32-bit. John -
Rotorbrake/Lvar Button “Release” code
John Dowson replied to Ross McDonagh's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
I think they are actually parameters to the Rotor Brake control, which has been re-purposed in the FSLabs A3xx aircraft. -
How have you assigned your axes? In FSUIPC or in FSX? If the former, please show your FSUIPC4.ini file. Have you changed your "default assignments? Are you not using "profiles"? Strange. That screenshot (pretty useless as it is) just says that your axis aren't being processed by FSUIPC. I'm sure you haven't. Don't worry, it's probably something simple that you've missed. But, before we can help, you need to provide further information: - your FSUIPC4.ini and FSUIPC4.log files - more information on what you actually did. I'm sure that you didn't just install the aircraft and then try and calibrate. Did you assign? Are you using profiles (again) [and if not, why not?]? And if you uninstall, and your FSUIPC.ini file hasn't change, it can't possibly affect other aircraft. Have you changed the "default" (i.e. valid for ALL aircraft) assignment profile? John

Issue with FSUIPC and Aivlasfoft EFB
John Dowson replied to rambcn's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
I don't know. Really, everything should just work when using OneDrive. I have used OneDrive for FSUIPC before without issues. I started to get issues as I use FSUIPC on multiple PCs, sharing the OneDrive account, and I did not want these different installations to share the same add-on.xml. They don't. They select your Documents folder. The location for this is determined by the registry. I'm not sure how OneDrive works, whether it updates this location. or if it acts 'under-the-covers' and silently keeps your docs in sync to OneDrive. Either way, I think there are some issues with your OneDrive set-up, as it really shouldn't interfere with the installation process. No problem. Glad its now sorted. Happy flying! John -
Issue with FSUIPC and Aivlasfoft EFB
John Dowson replied to rambcn's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
If you continue to have problems using the Documents folder, it may be better to install using the old DLL.xml method. To do this, just uncheck the 'add-on.xml' box during the installation process. You can still install in C:\FSUIPC using this method. -
Issue with FSUIPC and Aivlasfoft EFB
John Dowson replied to rambcn's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
I don't think this is enough. The problem is that your Documents folder is still being managed by OneDrive, even if its not running. You need to remove management of Documents from OneDrive (temporarily). Or it could (maybe) be a permissions problem. Can you manually create a folder (using Explorer, for example) under your Documents folder and under your Documents\Prepar3d v5 Add-ons folder? What do you see under your OneDrive Documents\Prepar3d v4 Add-ons folder? -
Issue with FSUIPC and Aivlasfoft EFB
John Dowson replied to rambcn's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Ok, so FSUIPC6 is not installing correctly as it cannot write the \FSUIPC6\add-on.xml file to your ...\Documents\Prepar3D v4 Add-ons folder. It seems like an issue with OneDrive. Can you either (temporarily) disable OneDrive completely, or remove your Documents folder from OneDrive before you install? You can also try removing the FSUIPC6 folder under ...\Documents\Prepar3D v4 Add-ons to see if it gets re-created. -
Issue with FSUIPC and Aivlasfoft EFB
John Dowson replied to rambcn's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
What actually happens when you run the installer? The Modules folder is no longer used/needed with FSUIPC6, unless you select that directory as the installation directory. I'd rather avoid this. -
Issue with FSUIPC and Aivlasfoft EFB
John Dowson replied to rambcn's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
No, the add-on.xml file will go into your Documents\Prepar3d v4 Add-ons\FSUIPC6 folder. Is FSUIPC6 installed correctly? i.e. can you see FSUIPC in the P3D add-ons menu? Is it the correct version? If not, could you re-run the installer - don't uninstall manually first, the installer will automatically uninstall if a previous version was detected. Install into the same location (C:\FSUIPC), then show me both your install and uninstall logs, both from C:\FSUIPC. Well, lets check that you have FSUIPC6 installed and running first. I don't know or use the Aivlasoft EFB, but if it requires FSUIPC then you will need to make sure that it is installed and running first. Once thats done, you can check again. John -
Issue with FSUIPC and Aivlasfoft EFB
John Dowson replied to rambcn's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Sorry, forget this! Just checked the history and that problem was fixed in the v6.0.6 release, not v6.0.8. I think your issues are related to OneDrive. Uninstall FSUIPC6 and try re-installing outside of Documents and OneDrive. This can only happen by running the uninstaller created by v6.0.8. After you uninstall (and before you re-install), make sure there is no uninstaller left. John -
Issue with FSUIPC and Aivlasfoft EFB
John Dowson replied to rambcn's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Btw, when installing FSUIPC6, it is better to choose a location outside of your Documents/Prepar3D c4 Add-ons folder. That should really be just for the add-ons.xml file, and can cause issues if you use OneDrive. Try uninstalling again, then re-install to a different location. -
Issue with FSUIPC and Aivlasfoft EFB
John Dowson replied to rambcn's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Hi, No, this won't be necessary.There was a problem in the installer for v6.0.8 in that the uninstaller it created did not correctly remove some registry entries for certain install types. This has been corrected but it means that some v6.0.8 uninstallers will not work as expected. Could you post your install and uninstall log files please (the latest will do) and I'll take a quick look. I think you will need to uninstall FSUIPC6, then manually remove the registry entries (I can help with this) and then re-install FSUIPC6. John Later...actually I don't think it was registry entries, but related to the DLL.xml install method. Did you originally install using this method by any chance? If so, can you check your DLL.xml to see if there are any FSUIPC6 entries? -
FSUIPC6 Macro Making Stuck
John Dowson replied to Ross McDonagh's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Ok. No need for your log (at the moment!), now that I understand what is causing your issue. It's a good idea to try LVARS and the custom controls first. You should maybe ask on the FSLabs forums about controls for the FCU/Autopilot, as I expect there would be some form of control/lvars if the standard FS controls don't work. You can always use mouse macros for control of the ones that aren't supported.
