Is the rotary acting as an axis? FSUIPC doesn't know the position of your rotary when it starts, and will only receive the axis position and sent the relevant event/control with the position once it has moved. You shouldn't have to "turn the rotary to the full left/full right a few times in order for it to work" though. Maybe you can try activating logging for 'Axis Controls' and generate a short log file of your start-up procedure to see what is being sent. Post/attach this, together with your ini file. Cheers, John

There is no way of specifying 'not' for a substring. If its for ALL other aircraft, you can just use the general assignments (i.e. no profile). Otherwise, you would have to list substrings for each of the plane you would want to catch in the [Profile.4K-flying] section. John

Sorry for the late response, but glad FSUIPC is now working for you. If you are using SPAD.next, there are plenty of freely available profiles for various aircraft, available from within SPAD.next itself. Regards, John

This is due to the fact that you have exceeded the 127 macro file limit. As Thomas says, try reducing the number of macro files - there is really no need to have so many. You can try try combining them - you will of course have to re-assign afterwards. John

Depends how you read them, but 10/sec sounds reasonable. If you use event.offset, your provided function will be called each time the offset value changes. Or you could use event.timer to poll at any interval you specify. For lvars, you can use the event.lvar function, which has a minimum monitor time of 100ms. John

Did you try with a different (default) aircraft? Maybe the A330 doesn't use the standard FS controls?

Hi Nicolas, what exactly is the problem? Just telling us that it is not working is not very helpful. How are you trying to achieve this - via lua scripts? If so, have you tried log/debugging them? Please provide more details and also attach your files (lua, ini, log). Thanks, John

Please re-run the installer and post your installer log file.

Hi, this is a common problem - the solution has been posted in many posts... You can manually edit the Modules folder permissions yourself to allow full access, by right clicking on the folder properties: select Security-->Edit-> Add, enter Everyone as the object name, then 'Check Names' and 'OK'. Then give 'Full Control' to the 'Everyone' group just added. Cheers, John P.S. Think I'll add a FAQ entry for this problem, even though most users don't check there before posting...!

Thomas has indicated a way to check in FSUIPC. We do not support XPUIPC - its from another developer, . You will need to ask on the XPUIPC support forums. Regards, John

The <shift> key is a modifier key and needs to be held down when you press the other key (i.e. together, not before), so maybe you got it the wrong way around? Log files looks ok, as does your ini, but you don't have any assignments - or much of anything! Probably a good idea to change the AutoAssignLetters parameter to Yes, to enable the JoyLetters facility, which would preserve any assignments to your joystick devices if the ids change (please see the User Guide for details). Anyway, glad its now working for you. Regards, John

Hi Hans, could you try activating FSUIPC logging for Buttons and key operations and Events (non-axis controls). Try each of the key combinations and post your resulting FSUIPC log file, together with your ini file. Thanks, John

No problem - glad its now working for you. Note that if you want to use the new beta version, you need to download and install a special version of FSUIPC4 provided here: Cheers, John

P3Dv4 require FSUIPC5, not FSUIPC4. You will need to purchase a new license for FSUIPC5 to work with P3Dv4.1+. John

To add to what Pete has said, your (old) email address is only used to validate the key, doesn't matter if its no longer used - just use that to generate your key file. Once you have that, it doesn't really matter if your actual email has changed - just use the key file generated with the email used to purchase your license. John

Which version of FSX-SE do you have installed - is it the latest beta release?

You posted in the FAQ section - I have moved your post to the correct location. Please post support messages here, in the main support forum. Are you running as admin? Could you please post your install log file FSUIPC4 Install.log - should be located in the folder where you ran the installer and in the Modules folder (under your FSX folder) if that has been created. John

Why write a c# program when you could just use the lua event.timer function to call your lua function every 50ms? John

No problem. The documentation is not too clear on this - I'll update it for the next release. Happy flying! John

As I indicated, your [Auto.Lear35] section in your FSUIPC5.ini file, should be in your Lears5.ini file but as an [Auto] section. John

There is also a separate document you should read if you are using profiles in separate files, called (unsurprisingly) Profiles in Separate Files.pdf. I suspect that your problem is that the [Auto] section in your Lear35.ini should just be called [Auto] and not [Auto.Lear35] - the latter is used in your FSUIPC5.ini file when you are using profiles but NOT in separate files. John

Hi Renato, no need to re-purchase - you should be able to retrieve your existing registration from SimMarket. If you are having problems with your SimMarket account, you need to contact them - we have no control over SimMarket accounts. Regards, John P.S. Did you try the 'Forgot Your Password?' link in the login box? This should allow you to rest your password using your email address.

Hi Ramon, Yep, looks useful and pretty simple to add so I'll schedule for the next release. I'll post you a dll to test when done. Cheers, John

I'll take a look when I get a chance - I'm a bit busy for the next few weeks so it won't be until December sometime. John

I'll be looking at providing a version of FSUIPC for the new MS FS, once the SDK is published (with help from Pete!). A bit too early to provide any details on a beta test release though! John
