Need 64-bit fsuipc_java.dll file?
John Dowson replied to crazzmc's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
You could also compile your jar as a 32-bit "one-jar" and provide that. But it does look like your users would need to install a 32-bit JVM as well. -
Need 64-bit fsuipc_java.dll file?
John Dowson replied to crazzmc's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Hi Crazz, According to the documentation, the FSUIPC java interface was provided by Mark Burton (mark.burton@zenobyte.com). All sources are provided, so it should be possible to update this to a 64-bit dll. I can add to the SDK if anyone wants to take this on, otherwise I could take a look at some point but it will be quite a while before I have time to look into this. Cheers, John -
Quick question - is this possible with FSUIPC?
John Dowson replied to hotwheels's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Could you try activating axis logging (from the FSUIPC logging tab). Generate a log file that exhibits your problem (i.e. disconnection, reconnecting and going haywire). It will be quite large, so zip it up and attach to a post and I'll take a look to see whats happening. -
Logitech G X52 Hotas Software with FSUIPC5
John Dowson replied to paradisca1's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Hi Steve, sorry for the late reply - I was hoping someone else who has tried this would jump in and advise. I can only tell you that we generally advise against installing the Logitech/Saitek drivers as these can create problems with FSUIPC. I can only suggest that you try to see if it works for you, and if not then uninstall. Maybe be a good idea to take a backup copy of your registry before you install, as their drivers have been known to leave registry entries after uninstallation that may affect behaviour (although I don't know if this is still the case with their latest drivers). Regards, John -
Quick question - is this possible with FSUIPC?
John Dowson replied to hotwheels's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
I don't think that "input spike suppression" will help. Its not a 'spike', its caused by your wireless joystick device reconnecting and being re-scanned, so the axis values will be reset until it receives a new input value. I'm not sure there is anything you can do - I've asked Pete to see if he has any ideas that may help. Regards, John -

John Dowson replied to hotwheels's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
FSUIPC can't help you with this. For USB sleep problems, its generally a matter of configuring the power management settings for USB hub. However, it seems to be your wireless device itself that is going to sleep (to save battery), so I don't think there is much you can do, apart from maybe contact Logitech support to see if there is a way to turn off (or extend the time of) this 'feature' of your device.

No problem - glad its now working. John -
Twin magneto problem
John Dowson replied to Bob Spinner's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Hi Roman, thanks for that - thats very interesting! As Bob is using a rotary switch, and its sending both a release (for previous position) and a press (for the current position), I thought he could add the MAGNETO*_OFF controls to the button release, but it looks like the release/press order is not consistent, i.e. it generates a release then press going clockwise, but a press then release going anticlockwise (for your Magneto1 only?!!). Therefore I think your solution of having multiple controls (i.e. sending an 'OFF'' first) is the thing to try. So Bob, following Roman's advise, can you edit your ini file and try the following [Buttons] section: John -
Hi Bruce, I've no idea what 'Sync Pos' is, so can't help you with that. What aircraft are you using? Some add-ons, such as those by PMDG, don't work very well with FSUIPC calibration and you should send as FS command if you are using those. Also check that you have controllers disabled in P3D if you are assigning your axis in FSUIPC. Cheers, John

WideFS Autostart with FSUIP
John Dowson replied to Ursli80's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Before my time I'm afraid, but I guess it has to have a limit and 9 was a reasonable limit to have when this was added many years ago. -
Twin magneto problem
John Dowson replied to Bob Spinner's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Hi Bob, I'll take a look a bit later. One thing though, you seem to be using an add-on aircraft thats generating lots of PANEL_LIGHTS_OFF events. These are just noise in the log really, so you may want to add DontLogThese=66057 to the [General] section of your FSUIPC5.ini file (I'll remove them manually from the above). Cheers, John -
FSUIPC5 and exporting
John Dowson replied to GeriatricGinger's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Hi, all your assignments and controls are stored in your FSUIPC5.ini file (in your modules folder). Take a look at that file. The format of the entries is described in the FSUIPC5 manuals. Comments are added automatically so that you can see what your assignments are. If you are using the 'profiles in separate files' feature, then you will also have an ini file for each profile. If you are going to edit it, make sure you take a copy/backup first. Cheers, John- 1 reply

WideFS Autostart with FSUIP
John Dowson replied to Ursli80's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Yes it is a limitation, only 1-9, as indicated by the document: RunReady1=, RunReady2=, ... RunReady9=: These are identical to the RUN options above, except they are not actioned until WideClient is actually connected to WideServer. John -
So you re-enabled controllers in FSX for this? Make sure controllers are disabled in FSX if you are assigning your axis in FSUIPC. To use the full functionality of these, you should look into using the SPAD (freeware - http://fstools.weebly.com/) or SPAD.next (payware - https://www.spadnext.com/home.html) drivers. I use the latter (with FSUIPC) and it works very well. Cheers, John

Strange issue with Flysimware LJ35
John Dowson replied to MatzeH84's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Hi Matthias, It will rescan your devices. Does it also start working when you click the switch in the VC after opening/closing FSUIPC? It does sound like an issue with your add-on LJ35. You could try logging non-axis events and button presses (from the FSUIPC logging tab). This may show if something different is being sent after the spoiler retract. Cheers, John -
Twin magneto problem
John Dowson replied to Bob Spinner's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
The controls are events provided by P3D, so you need to look into the P3D documentation (e.g. see 'SimConnect Name' column in https://www.prepar3d.com/SDKv4/sdk/references/variables/event_ids.html). The specific controls added by FSUIPC are documented in FSUIPC' documentation. For your magneto problem, can you try activating non-axis event logging as well as buttons and switches (from FSUIPC's logging tab), generate a log file going through the magneto positions up and down and show us the results.

WideFS Autostart with FSUIP
John Dowson replied to Ursli80's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Hi Urs, your WideClient.ini file is not correct. There is no [Programs] section - thats for FSUIPC (or WideServer)! As Pete said, you want to be using RunReady, which takes the form RunReady1=.... and is located in the [User] section of your WideClient.ini (or the [WideServer] section in FSX). Please see the WideFS Technical guide. John -
Events running amok
John Dowson replied to SteveBurney's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
As Thomas says, please show.attach your ini file. Can you also activate button logging, as well as non-axis events, and attach your log file. Thanks, John -
Hi CrazzMC, Are you sure its not just the Airline? If the state of the AI aircraft is 'Initialising' (128) or 'Sleeping' (129), then you will get just the 'Airline'. Note that you can also change the ATC id used using the TCASid parameter, which can be changed from FSUIPC's Miscellaneous tab - see the Advanced User Guide (p5). You can also try the attached lua script which will log all 96 ground/air slots for you - drop it into your modules folder and assign it to a key or button press. This gives output such as the following: John logAI.lua

Button presses not recognized
John Dowson replied to Arndt777's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
You could also try ignoring that button by adding IgnoreThese=1.7 to your [Buttons] sections of your ini file. -

Prepar3D v4.2 SimConnect and FSUIPC 5.123c
John Dowson replied to Luke Kolin's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
If you have a new issue, could you please start a new thread - your problem does not seem to be related to this threads title! More information is also needed - what version of FSUIPC are you using? What sim? How did you install on another computer - if you just copied across your ini file, this most likely won't work as your joystick ids (and GUIDs) will have changed. Please start a new thread with the above information, and also attached your ini, log and joyscan.csv files (all from your Modules folder). John
