"Error setting Client Data Calculator Code" when using execCalcCode
John Dowson replied to Fragtality's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
I cannot reproduce here - both scripts seem to run just fine... Are you using any other WAPI clients at the same time? If so, do you have any WAPI log files for those? What are these programs that you are also running: ? Can you try with those disabled to see if that makes a difference please. And this change occurred when you set trace logging? If you go back to Debug or Info logging, does iiiit revert to previous behaviour? This is all very strange.... -
"Error setting Client Data Calculator Code" when using execCalcCode
John Dowson replied to Fragtality's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
Unfortunately your logs still don't reveal much. I will need to see a SimConnect.log file, but it may be easier if I can reproduce the issue here. You say: How do you trigger these functions? By setting a flag (1-8)? -
"Error setting Client Data Calculator Code" when using execCalcCode
John Dowson replied to Fragtality's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
Sorry, I meant if this was a new issue in 7.3.23, or if this was working in a previous version and if so what version that was. -
Could you try the attached version please. There is a minor change, but I don't think this will resolve your issue. but I have added extra logging which should help me track this down. Can you activated logging for Extras and show me the log file from this version. Thanks. John FSUIPC7.exe

FSUIPC7 - Not sure what I bought or how to use it!
John Dowson replied to tmjewett's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
I have moved your post to the FSUIPC7 support sub-forum. You should really try FSUIPC7 before purchasing - a trial license is available via a topic/post at the top of this forum. The SDK is only one part of FSUIPC, and that is for developers and free to use (ie. no license required). Start with the FSUPC7 User guide, which will have been installed in a FSUIPC7 folder of your Windows Documents folder. This should explain how to assign and calibrate an axis. John -

"Error setting Client Data Calculator Code" when using execCalcCode
John Dowson replied to Fragtality's topic in FSUIPC7 MSFS
Is this a new issue with 7.3.24? Could you try the attached version please - I have just updated the logging to log the error number for the failed execute calc code call. Can you repeat your test with this version, set Debug level logging un the WAPI, and then show me your updated FSUIPC7.log file, as well as your FSUIPC7.ini file and your FSUIPC_WASM.log file. Maybe also a good idea to set Debug level logging in the WASM as well. John FSUIPC7.exe -
You don't need to put them anywhere, you just need to look at the header file if you want to use the PMDG custom controls as the numbers you need are defined there - see the following FAQ entry on how to use these: However, it is far easier to use the available PMDG presets, and if you update to the latest version of FSUIPC you will see a Find Preset... button which should help in finding available presets. John
-
I also need to see your FSUIPC7.log file with relevant logging - see my previous comment. You are als0 using a very old version of FSUIPC7 (7.3.10) - please update to the latest version, 7.3.24, before anything else. Your 737_Oprions.ini file is also strangely empty. You should re-install the PMDG just in case, and also check you are using the latest version, 3.0.72
-
I don't understand why you are getting these: Are those logged before or after you exit MSFS? Open the logging console window and check the messages before exiting. As you are in the main menu, FSUIPC should not be sending events... I will look further tomorrow, but for now can you update to the latest version of FSUIPC7, 7.3.24, which I released earlier, and try with that. John

I didn't....!

Ok, but no problem showing those here, they are only useful to me and SimMarket. I have checked your keys here and they validate just fine. Are you sure that you are using the correct WideFS7 key, the one starting with T?
-
Let me know your order numbers for FSUIPC6 and WideFS7 and I can check them here. Use the main support forum (one up from this): https://forum.simflight.com/forum/30-fsuipc-support-pete-dowson-modules/
-
Yes, it is the correct version - it works with FSUIPC4, 5, 6 & 7, and the simulators they support. You need all 3 parts - key, name and address/email, and they must all match the details specified in your simmarket purchase email or account. If the name or/and address/email differ from your FSUIPC6 details, you need to check the appropriate box and enter those details as well. Did you re-run the FSUIPC6 installer to register your WideFS7 license? Did your FSUIPC6 key validate ok? Btw, you posted in the FSUIPC7 / MSFS sub-forum for some reason. Please use the main support forum in future if your issue is related to FSUIPC6 / P3D, although I do accept WideFS7 questions in both forums.

Could you try changing these in your FSUIPC7.ini file's [General] section: TrafficStallTime=10 InitialStallTime=30 to TrafficStallTime=-5 InitialStallTime=-5 to see if that makes a difference. If you get the same issue, can you attach your FSUIPC7.ini file (again) together with your FSUIPC7,log file.
-
No, it is MSFS that starts FSUIPC7 anyway, via the EXE.xml file. It is strange - I can't see how they can be added back - how would FSYUPC know what to add back if it was removed? Something else must be going on....
-
It is better to keep the default profiles, and just create a new (and empty) profile for your devices for FSUIPC. What axis controls are you assigning to? There are several to choose from - if one doesn't work, try another. You can also try activating logging for Axes Controls (Log -> Axes Controls), open the logging console (Log -> Open Console), and see what is logged when you move the axis in the VC, and then use that. But I don't have the ProSim 737 fir MSFS, so it is difficult for me to advise. I think there is/was an 'FSUIPC compatibility' mode that you may need to activate in ProSim. You should consult the ProSim documentation or ask on the ProSim forums

There was a small change in the re-connection logic introduced in 7.3.22, but this should not have affected the shutdown process. I don't see a: 1920172 MSFS no longer running - exiting message in your 7.3.23 log, which is strange. Are you sure you haven't disabled 'Options -> Exit with FS'? Can you check that please. I will also revise that change to see if could cause this issue. I will be releasing a new version later today or tomorrow, so please also try with that once released. Can you show me/attach your FSUIPC7.ini file please. John

You should edit the FSUIPC7.ini file when FSUIPC7 is not running, otherwise entries can get written back, so please try that. However, they should still be started with the specified delay, so I am not sure why they are not starting. There has been no change to the functionality of the [Programs] section for many years, so i cannot understand why this isn't working for you. I will check this here later. There could be several reasons for this. First, try with: i.e. capitalise the first letter of Yes. This should'nt be case dependent, but I'm not sure (without checking the code), so please try that first. If it still doesn't work, try using Kill instead. See the WideFS technical guide on why close sometimes won't work, and what to try instead. Also note that you are using an old and unsupported version of FSUIPC7, v7.3.19. Please update to the latest and only supported version, v7.3.23. Also, when generating log files, do not log IPC Reads/Writes unless asked, as this can dd lots of useless messages for the issue at hand.

What version of FSUIPC are you using? If not using the latest version, 7.3.23. please update. In this version,. you assign an axis to a preset by selecting 'Send Preset to FS', not 'Send to FS as normal axis'. The Select for Preset checkbox is now for sending presets when entering an axis range., using the right-hand side of the axis assignment panel, which is not what you want. This is not correct either. You must use either $Param (short for parameter) or the @ symbol as a placeholder for the axis value. Try the following DuckWorks_DC3_ParkingBrake_On#1 (>L:DUCKWORKS_PARKING_BRAKE_SET) DuckWorks_DC3_ParkingBrake_Off#0 (>L:DUCKWORKS_PARKING_BRAKE_SET) DuckWorks_DC3_ParkingBrake#@ (>L:DUCKWORKS_PARKING_BRAKE_SET) The last one accepts a parameter, so you would have to provide the 1 (in) or 0 (off) as a parameter for the assignment. This is for adding lvars to offsets, and should be used when you want to read the lvar value as well as set it. You can also use this method, but then you would use one of the offset controls (e.g. Offset Byte Set) for your assignment. Unfortunately many aircraft. especially add-ons, don't respect or use the standard controls/events or simulator variables provided, and so you must use other variable types (lvars, hvars, etc) or complex calculator code yo achieve the same. FSUIPC just provides additional functionality to allow such assignments. Please see the Advanced User manual on using lvars, presets, etc. This is all described in the WASM section.

Also, I have noticed in the JF PA28 Arrow, if I set an ADF frequency (no decimal allowed when selecting) and keep the mouse over the frequency knob, the decimal part increments from 0 to 9 and then back again, changing approx every 4 seconds, and I see ADF Fract Inc/Dec Carry events being sent (9 inc events, followed by 9 dec events, then repeating). So it looks like the ADF for that aiircraft scans the decimal frequencies, although they are not displayed.
-
What aircraft allow a decimal part for the ADF frequency in the ADF panel? I have checked several aircraft and none I can find so far allow a decimal part to be set. Also please see this - it relates to x-Plane but is still relevant: https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/202498-how-to-change-the-decimal-in-the-adf/ John
