You can use the lua logic library, e.g. to get bit 1 use logic.And(ipc.readUB(0x739F), 2)) (as 2^1 = 2)

I am finishing now, its Sunday and the wife is complaining.... Thanks for your assistance, I will review again tomorrow. John

Ok. Strange then... I have just updated the installer for 7.4.12b, to explicitly request admin privileges. Can you download again and try with this update? No version change - maybe a good idea to clear your browser cache before downloading, otherwise it may download the older cached version.

But is the FSUIPC7.key file created or not? What folder are you installing into?

And modified? Best to temporarily rename to see if a new one is created - see my previous post. What location are you installing into?

Did you check anti-virus and event viewer? Can you also check the date on your FSUIPC7.key file - is that updated? Maybe temporarily rename that and install again - you will have to enter your registration details manually, When you click Register, is a new FSUIPC7.key file generated? Does it have the correct contents (i.e. same as previous one)? You can put back (i.e. rename) your original key file if not generated.

Ok - If you get the same issue, can you please check any anti-virus software installed (including Windows Defender) and see if there are any messages logged there. Also check the windows Event Viewer for error/warning messages.

The installer for 7.4.12 is exactly the same as the installer for 7.4.11, only the files that are installed have changed. Maybe you can download and try the latest beta: Install_FSUIPC7.4.13b Do you get the same issue?

Can you please download and try this beta: Install_FSUIPC7.4.13b Please add TestOptions=x800 to the [General] section of your FSUIPC7.ini file, and show me your files again if you get an issue. John

Can you please download and try this beta: Install_FSUIPC7.4.13b Please add TestOptions=x800 to the [General] section of your FSUIPC7.ini file, and show me your files again if you get an issue. Also keep Debug level logging in the API for the time being. Did you check your installation location? Still puzzled as to why you can't supply a log file... John

Yes, do that. But this would be an issue for new users who need to validate their registration. But, as I have said, I have no idea why this message box cannot be closed. Very strange. There seem to be a lot of issues with the latest MSFS update at the moment and I really don't have time to look into this installer issue, and do not have a clue as to why it is doing this. It is very strange... I would like to know what folder is being installed into - it may be something to do with file permissions when creating the FSUIPC7.key file, if FSUIPC7 is being installed under a windows-protected folder. Still, I wouldn't expect the installer to hang... John

For the WASM crash issue, can you please download and try this beta: Install_FSUIPC7.4.13b Please show me your files again if you get an issue. John

But you only need to press this once - it will validate both keys on one press, and you should see a pop-up message for each. So, you press Register, a message is display regarding your FSUIPC7 registration. When you close this window, a new message should be displayed with the result of your WideFS registration. Then how can you press the Register button twice? The message pop-up is modal so you cannot press anything in the installer window until the message is closed. Does the red X in top-right corner also not close the message? And remember, you only need to register once. You do not need to re-register each time you update FSUIPC7. but doing so should cause no issues, and I really don't understand this issue, and can think of nothing that could cause this weird problem.

What works? Do you have the MSFS Desktop icon that the installer creates AFTER the registration process? I suspect not if you are killing the installer - although this maybe created now by the MSFS.bat auto-start component (not sure). Can you please re-run the installer and validate again. Do you get the same issue? If so, please check the Windows Event Viewer for any events related to the installer, and if there are any, then save them and attach them here. If you get the same issue, kill the installer, then run it again. This time, skip registration, and you should get to the last page where the desktop icon is created. Do this and finish the installation process, then show me/attach your InstallFSUIPC7.log file. John

Windows does not add an application to the sound mixer until a sound is played from the application. Once FSUIPC has been instructed to play a sound, it should appear. This is how windows works, nothing to do with FSUIPC. John

I am sorry, but that image doesn't tell me anything. It doesn't even show an FSUIPC7.ini file, and I can't tell if that image shows all files in your installation folder, i.e image cropped and not showing scroll bar. At least click on the name to get the files sorted in alphabetical order... You must have an ini file and a log file. Are you sure that is the correct installation folder? If there is no log or ini file there, I think you may be confused as to where you have actually installed FSUIPC7.... When FSUIPC7 is auto-started, use File -> Open Installation Folder to check the folder that is being used. Your log file will be there. Also, can you also please activate Debug level logging in for the WAPI (Log -> WAPI -> Debug).

I have no idea why it cannot install the documents. Are you changing the default installer options? i.e. why is it skipping the hvar files? Please attach your InstallFSUIPC7.log file.

@alexanderluzajic Can you PLEASE read my comments - I am not going to respond to you here, please use your original topic. And I responded to your response., in your original topic.

You do not seem to be using FSUIPC for much - just one button assignment, and one lua running for all aircraft (A320ParkBrake). You have two profiles. but both of these are empty. Your log shows that you have a very long start-up time for MSFS. You have DetectToConnectDelayAuto set to 5 mins (300 seconds) but this still doesn't seem to be enough: From this log, you should set DetectToConnectDelayAuto to 490. Apart from that, your log shows that you didn't start a flight until over 17mins after starting FSUIPC7, and it looks like there was no response from the WASM and so no lvars were loaded and your lua auto wasn't started. I am looking into this issue, reported by many, so please be patient. There will be a new release in the next day or two, John

I have no idea what you mean. Please take care to explain your issue, and provide your files that show the issue - the FSUIPC7.log and FSUIPC7.ini files. Many people are having issues when FSUIPC7 is auto-started. If you exit FSUIPC7 once it is auto-started and then manual start FSUIPC7 does it work? If so, then it is the start-up parameters that are causing the issue. Read the section on this in the Advanced User guide, and post your files here, together with an explanation of your issue and I will take a look. Settings are NEVER lost - they will be in your ini file. They may not be loaded though, and that can be for many reasons, but the usual culprit is using an aircraft that does not match the aircraft names in your profile, as you have not edited them to use substrings for matching. But I cannot tell you anything from a rant/post without showing any supporting information. John

I presume it is this one: If so, please post in that topic. If so, I have already responded there - have you read that response? I have no idea why people are having such problems with the installer - there has been no change in the installer for a long time (over a year), except for the files that it installs. Do you have an InstallFSUIPC7.log? If so, show me that. But PLEASE use the topic you created for your issue, and not post in topics for other issues which are not the same. And make sure you run the installer from Windows Explorer, not in WinRar.

I am just letting you know that I cannot do anything about this until you supply me with the files I need to investigate. There is no point in you posting again until I have these, I have been waiting to see this since your original post. If you want me to look into this, provide the files/information I need. Otherwise there is no point posting about this issue. You started this topic for your issue, I asked for the files to investigate - since then I have been waiting for the correct files.

But what solution? Killing the installer via the task manager is not a solution to this problem - it just stops the installer from completing. Did you do anything to actually resolve this issue? When you validate your license, does the installer hang once the validation success message has been displayed? If not, and you previously had this issue, what did you do to correct this?

Your lua script looks ok. That is because they are NOT events (or k-type variables). They look to be Input Events (or B-type variables). Try listing Input Events - are they listed? You can use Input Events like other events - either assign to them directly (by checking Select for Input Events), and in lua you can use the ipc.execInputEvent function. Please see the Advanced User manual on Input Events, and the FSUIPC Lua Library manual for details on lua library functions for Input Events. John
