Thanks John, I will look at the separate document entitled "FSUIPC Lua Plugins" to better understand the lua plugin process. Thank you for help!

You're right this is the first time dealing with LUA scripts. I did look at your plugin document in your Adv guide. It clearly states that the script should reside where the FSUIPC.ini file is and don't add anything to the [LuaFiles] section. But I missed or did not see anything as to what the new command selection should look like "Lua SetPauseMSFS&P3D", so I was looking for the "SetPauseMSFS&P3D" and I did the example like "1=Lua SetPauseMSFS&P3D" that went under Auto section. Thats why I added it, but I did not know that I did not need it. I only see one page dealing with Lua plugins (pg-39). Is there somewhere else it's list under? Sorry for taking up your time on matter like this. Steve

Thanks I see it now, I was looking for it under the S commands.

Removed [Auto] section Added 1=Lua SetPauseMSFS&P3D to General section .Restarted FSUIPC7 it adds it to the LUAFiles section Try to assign button to SetPauseMSFS&P3D but it does not show up in the drop down list

Thanks John, Sorry and thanks , when I was on the site I clicked on the file, it would not download. This may be because I was not logged in at the time. I read the docs on LUA implementation, but I can't seem to see it in the button selection drop down box for commands. I have it listed in the FSUIPC7.ini [Auto] 1=SetPauseMSFS&P3D I want to assign it to my ~ button. I'm in the middle of a 50-hour flight, do I need to stop FSUIPC7 and restart it to see the LUA? What I'm I missing? Steve

I can't find it anywhere. I'm hoping that someone has it. The script name is SetPauseMSFS&P3D.lua or PauseMSFS_TOD.lua The SetPauseMSFS&P3D.lua script attached below makes use of the FSUIPC Lua event and wnd libraries (as suggested by John Dowson) and can be used to pause MSFS or P3Dv4.5/v5.1 from 1 minute to days after the script is run. When run, the script asks for a pause time and if none if provided within two minutes the script closes with a brief message. If a pause time is entered, for example 260 minutes until a Top of Descent, the user would see Then after hitting the Enter key the display would change to This display will change once per minute as the time to pause counts down towards zero. If the user decides to cancel the pending (future) pause with the Enter key, the display briefly changes to When the pause time is reached, the sim pauses and looks just like a pause had been initiated with the ESC key. To cancel a paused sim you just need to click on Resume. This script uses the wnd (Window ) library for display, so you can move the display window with the arrow keys and use the ctrl + arrow keys to resize the window. The window must have the focus to do this. The new window display position will be stored in your FSUIPC .ini file. As an alternative to using the arrow keys you can directly edit the window position and size coordinates in the FSUIPC7.ini file. Look for the entry under [ExtWindow]. It seems best to do this when FSUIPC7 is not running. You may also have to edit the window size and position in the lua file.

Thanks John for your work on the beta version. I will try it. I was using 7.08.

Hello John, Try to configure the switch using button press in FSUIPC, but its not detected. Is this a known issue?

Thank you!

I must be tried, I don't see anything using D device. Sorry that the .ini file was not appended. This 6=DR,256,D,36,0,0,0 -{ DIRECT: SteeringTiller }- was deleted but it was added again (5=CR,256,D,36,0,0,0 -{ DIRECT: SteeringTiller }-). Steve FSUIPC7.ini FSUIPC7.JoyScan.csv FSUIPC7.log

Ok I found the issue was the reg entries that were to be delete were not being deleted. So I removed them out that fix the duplicate message. In my .ini file under joystick I'm getting "missing joystick" message but everything else is ok. I image its one of my reg entries for joystick but I can't tell which one it is.

I reinstalled the device drivers after running removeDevs.reg and rebooting the system. The x56 will not be recognized with installing the software and drivers. I will play around with this until I get it right. Thanks far getting me this far.

FSUIPC7.ini Sorry the .INI file was not attached

Follow your steps, but it looks like that (duplicated in Registry) areFSUIPC7.ini still there. FSUIPC7.log

Thank you, John! Here's my JoyScan.csv file. FSUIPC7.JoyScan.csv
