Peter retire > 5 years ago now. It looks like the name has disappeared from the registry entry for your Saitek X-56 stick. Can you please attach your files - your ini, log and JoyScan.csv files and I will take a look. John

To assign to presets, check the Select for Preset checkbox in the top-right of the Buttons & Switches Assignments dialog box. You can then click the Find Preset... button to find the relevant preset, ordered by provider, aircraft, subsystem etc. A more complete search interface can also be found at https://hubhop.mobiflight.com/presets/. Please also take time to read the User and Advanced User manuals. You will find more details on using presets (as well as lvars, etc) in the WASM section of the Advanced User guide. When I get time, I will make a FAQ entry on how to determine what to assign to using FSUIPC's logging facilities as I am continually explaining how to do this. For the time being, try using the support forums as such questions on assignments have been asked many times before. Let me know how it goes and if you have any further issues. John

Please use the FSUIPC7 sub-forum for all issues/questions regarding FSUIPC7. I have moved your post. Many of the standard controls do not work for add-ons (or even some Asobo aircraft), especially complex ones, and you have to investigate other methods, such as lvars, custom controls, input events or presets. For the FSLabs lights, try presets: As you see in that image, there is a Beacon ON and Beacon OFF preset you can use. In general, if standard controls don't work, check for a preset. If there is no preset, use FSUIPC's logging facility to determine what is being used. For The FSLabs, many buttons/switches can be controlled using custom control, via the standard FS control Rotor Brake, where the parameter indicates the switch. For example, see the following post where I explained how to do this for the APU Master switch in the FSLabs: John

John Dowson replied to electricclay2000's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
I don't know why you pasted both your log and ini in your last post - I have removed them. They did not add anything new. I was just reminding you to exit FSUIPC7 before showing me files and did not need to see the same one again. And if a file is more than 10 or 20 lines, please attach it rather than pasting it - and this does not mean that I want you to attach them now. Only attach if you have followed my instructions and it is still not working. As for your issue, please re-read my last comments and report back, As I said, try starting FSUIPC7 after MSFS has started and arrived at the main menu, or use the auto-start feature. And if you get the same connection issues, read that FAQ entry and manually configure the initial connection parameters - and read the section on auto-tuning of start-up parameters in the Advanced User guide.

John Dowson replied to electricclay2000's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
As I said, can you please exit FSUIPC7 before attaching log (and ini) files. But your log shows that FSUIPC7 couldn't establish a connection to MSFS. First, you started MSFS manually, and it looks like you did this before MSFS was running. If starting manually, you should start FSUIPC7 after starting MSFS, and one MSFS has arrived at the main menu. However, it is far better to use the auto-start feature so that FSUIPC7 is started by MSFS when ready. To use auto-start, please re-install and leave the selected components (to install) as they are. For details on tuning the start-up parameters for preventing connection issues, see the following FAQ entry.: Note that once you have configured the DetectToConnectDelay / DetectToConnectDelayAuto parameters correctly, you can also set the InitialStallTime parameter to 0 which will then instruct FSUIPC7 to wait indefinitely for a response to the connection request. Also see the section Auto-tuning of initial start-up ini parameters on page 11 of the Advanced User guide. John -

Is FSUIPC7 actually connect to MSFS? Maybe you can show me / attach your FSUIPC7.log file (from a session when you get this error, and please exit FSUIPC7 before attaching the file). If FSUIPC7 is connecting to MSFS and there are no error in your log, you need to contact Aivlasoft about this issye - I only support FSUIPC and not third party clients. John -

No problem - glad its now sorted. John -
p3dv4.5 Response curse half way working
John Dowson replied to Braudoux's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
It is better to disable controllers completely if assigning in FSUIPC, as P3D has a habit of re-assigning controllers which can cause issues. This is nothing to do with the curve, it is due to your calibration.. The minimum value calibrated is 4534 for throttle 1, and 3272 for throttle 2. Axis ranges usually go from -16384 to +16383, so you are losing more than half your axis range. Calibrate the minimum value correctly. The reason you only see the right-hand part of the slope is explained in the User guide: Also, for future reference, please always attach your FSUIPC ini file when you have any issues with assignments - this tells me a lot more than images do (including which version of FSUIPC you are using, which you didn't mention!).

strange behavior p3dv4.5 and FSUIPC6
John Dowson replied to Pitter's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
As you have no assignments in FSUIPC that could cause such behavior, it mut be coming from somewhere else. First, just disable controllers in P3D and see if you get the same behavior - if not, the issue is with your P3D assignments. If you do get the same behavior, please show me another log file bit with logging for Buttons & Keys as well as Events (non-axis controls) activated. John -
Community folder MSFS2020 and last FSUIPC 7.5.4
John Dowson replied to cteixeira's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
This is available now....you may need to clear your browser cache to get the updated installer. Please let me know if that solves your issue. John -
Ok, but that is strange - you shouldn't need to re-enter or re-register your license on an update (unless you have changed your installation folder). When you update, the license page of the installer should be pre-populated (from your FSUIPC7.key file), and you should just skip the registration. John

Community folder MSFS2020 and last FSUIPC 7.5.4
John Dowson replied to cteixeira's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
Ok. I have corrected the installer for this and will make this available tomorrow (no new version). So either add a new line and re-install, or wait until tomorrow, download the updated installer and try again. John -

Anywhere in the [General] section... order is not important in ini files. -
strange behavior p3dv4.5 and FSUIPC6
John Dowson replied to Pitter's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
You have controllers set to ON in P3D: Either disable controllers in P3D, or check your assignments in P3D and remove those that are not needed. P3D has a habit of re-assigning controllers if not disabled. Better to disable controllers in P3D and assign everything in FSUIPC. If you must have assignments in P3D, then be aware that it can re-assign and give unwanted behavior. John -
Strange...but I have already DM'ed you your key details... John
-
This probably ,means that you are using an unregistered version, i.e. there is no license/key file (FSUIPC7.key) in your installation folder. Did you install into a different folder? When you re-installed. were your previous key details shown on the last screen, and did you skip key validation? Installation does not touch your FSUIPC7.key file, unless you opt to re-validate. John

Log in to your SimMarket account and get your purchased key from there. I can also PM you your key details. John

Sorry - for MSFS 2024 it would be C:\Users\[YOUR USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024\UserCfg.opt
-
You need to delete/rename the steam UserCfg.opt file, located at C:\Users\[YOUR USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\UserCfg.opt If this file is present, the installer presumes you are installing for Steam and not MS Store. John

Community folder MSFS2020 and last FSUIPC 7.5.4
John Dowson replied to cteixeira's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
I don't think FSUIPC will create this folder, but not 100% sure. The FSUIPC installer reads the InstalledPackagesPath entry/line, then removes the first 23 characters (i.e. the characters 'InstalledPackagesPath "', then removes the last two characters, which should be the closing quotes and the new line character. Maybe there is no new line after your InstalledPackagesPath entry? If not, then the last character of the path will be removed. So, check there is a new line after the InstalledPackagesPath entry. This is obviously not ideal - I will correct the installer for the next release to actually check for the new line and only remove if present. Let me know what your entry looks like when you get a chance. Regards, John -
Community folder MSFS2020 and last FSUIPC 7.5.4
John Dowson replied to cteixeira's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
The Community folder location is taken from the InstalledPackagesPath entry in your UserCfg.opt file (usually the last line) - what is the value there? Where was the WASM actually installed? Does the folder C:\Users\Carlos\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Package\ exist as well? John -

John Dowson replied to electricclay2000's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
As you quoted, in the FSUIPC7.ini file (which is in your FSUIPC7 installation folder) - did you not look there? I have moved your post to the FSUIPC7 sub-forum. John -
Latest version of FSUIPC flags for Trojan on Windows 11
John Dowson replied to Ath1uxx's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
Here's the analysis from Microsoft: This was from yesterday. Should be ok with the latest virus definition update. John -
You can just remove/delete that line. This is the only place that FSUIPC stores that information - if it re-appeared, FSUIPC must still have been running when you removed it - I can't see how else it could have re-appeared. Only edit the LuaFiles section when FSUIPC is not running. John
