Thanks John. That would be brilliant.

It looks like someone from Mobiflight has written a WASM module that now exposes all of the events that we are missing. It seems to be working with Mobiflight and Spad but I am not sure whether it will work with FSUIPC7. If not, is it possible to go down the same route for FSUIPC7? I'd rather like to stick to FSUIPC7 now that I have got used to it. here is a forum link which discusses this WASM module. https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/simconnect-and-gps-event-ids/308990/125 regards Stinger

Yes, it is working fine for me now John, thanks to FSUIPC7. It happens when a non momentary switch is set to an msfs function within msfs. I guess it then ties up cycles? . In fact use it to my advantage, i have a non-momentary switch set to an msfs function which I temporarily flick when I want larger increments. This works for both the heading bug and the alt select function. Trouble is, whilst I have been scenery designing I have temporarily forgotten which switch I used on my cockpit for this! Regards Keith

Understood. 👍

Ok, thanks John. My beta copy was on my desktop but the installer didn't see it. Not to worry, i'll just copy it over. Thanks Keith

Hi, I have been using the beta version of FSUIPC7 since August but have not used my home cockpit and FSUIPC7 recently because I have been doing some scenery design instead and didn't need it running for that. I have now downloaded and installed the new payware version and registered it. The installation instructions suggested that the old beta copy will be deleted and the assignments transferred however for some reason this did not happen. Is it just a matter of copying over my ini file from the beta versions folder to the new folder? thanks Keith Hackett

Great stuff, thanks John. 👍

Thanks John, all sorted by using the IgnoreThese command. For my cockpit throttle I use a Saitek unit, but only the throttles. The buttons of the unit were hidden inside my cockpit throttle enclosure. It was one of these hidden buttons causing the issue, so was the reason i couldn't trace it by operating all of the buttons and switches that I do use. Many thanks Keith

Thanks John, I will try that tomorrow and report back. Thanks Keith

Further info..... I did a buttons and keys console log but it does not show M7 operating in there ? thanks

Hi, When assigning switches i am getting a mystery button press which interrupts the assigning process. The button is numbered M7 in FSUIPC7 but I cannot find which switch this relates to on my cockpit. I have flicked or pressed every switch on my cockpit but none have the letter M preface. Any ideas how I can trace this mystery button? I am worried that it may be causing issued with MSFS. Thanks Keith

Ok, thanks John.

Thanks John. I'll give that a go.

Hi Pete/John In msfs there are these controls but not in fsuipc7. Any chance of getting them added? AVIONICS MASTER 1 OFF and ON AVIONICS MASTER 2 OFF and ON. Specifically these operate the Avionics Bus switches in the default C172. Regards Keith

Hi, I have tried to assign "g1000 mfd soft button 12" in my default C172 to enable me to turn on the mfd at startup. This button doesn't seem to work at the moment. Regards Keith

Ok, so i have now cleared any bindings in msfs and set them by using FSUIPC7. All works ok and the heading and alt sel is behaving normally. I have done this for the default C172 G1000 aircraft. There are a couple of buttons i have not been able to map which ideally i need but I can operate them at the start of my flight with the mouse. Avionics BUS1 and BUS2 (not available in FSUIPC but can be operated by assigning in msfs to an external momentary push button) and MFD soft buttons (i tried mapping soft button 12 in Fsuipc but it does not seem to work) It seems that if you assign anything in msfs with SET in the name it causes the heading bug issue. Thanks for your comments which put me on the right track and I hope my findings may help you and others Keith

Thanks for that information. I will do more investigations to confirm..

Out of interest, do you use the glass cockpit g1000 or G3000/G5000 ?. The reason I ask it that it seems that it may be caused by the detachment of the PFD/MFD screens. I found out that if I detach the PFD screen, drag it onto another monitor, i can use the knob I have assigned to produce 1 degree increments as long as the mouse is active in the PFD screen window. The moment I go back to the main view with the mouse it defaults to 10 degree increments. This is using both FSUIPC7 and MSFS directly to assign the heading bug.

Ok, I have done some experiments this morning using different pulse widths for my encoder. I tried various setting between 8ms and 200ms. None cure the problem I have. My encoder still turns the heading bug in 10 degree increments when my mouse is active on the main VC screen. (Using Heading Bug Inc in fsuipc7) Again I detached the PFD screen onto another monitor, made my mouse active on that monitor then turned the encoder. The first time I did this the heading bug turned 1 degree. I then went back to the VC screen -10 degrees, back to the PFD screen but this time I got 10 degrees!! I also tried Heading Bug Inc Fast in fsuipc7 but this also results in 10 degree increments. I read forum posts that some, but not all, others are experiencing the same so it appears to be a MSFS bug. I will report to Zendesk regards Keith

Hi Pete, Yes, the trace i did shows exactly that. . That they are the same other than the Event name. I am now wondering if it could be something to do with my Leo Bodnar encoder as others are not experiencing the same problem. Are you aware what time interval Msfs requires for encoders? This worked fine with FSX so I am wondering if I need to orogram the encoder to put out a shorter time per indent. Thanks Keith

Hi John, I am trying to use an external rotary encoder to set the heading. Using control "Heading_Bug_Inc" assigned to my encoder in fsuipc7 increases the heading in 10 degree increments. I would like 1 degree increments. So i did a log trace to see what was happening when setting the heading by mouse. Using the mouse scroll wheel to increase in 10 degree increments shows as .... 2002719***EVENT: Cntrl= 65879 (0x00010157), Param= 0 (0x00000000) HEADING_BUG_INC Using the mouse click to increase by 1 degree increments shows as .... 2010938***EVENT: Cntrl= 65879 (0x00010157), Param= 0 (0x00000000) HEADING_BUG_INC. So is it possible to assign an event rather than a control? To add to this weirdness i have the pfd and mfd screens detached onto other physical screens and the increments changes from 10deg to 3deg dependant on which screen my mouse is active in. (This is when using my encoder to operate HEADING_BUG_INC.) Regards Keith

Thanks John.

Hi, In the top menu choose LOG. Then OPEN CONSOLE. Then in the top menu again you have various options to trace. For events such as the batteries choose Events. When you first click events you may see things scrolling in the log window. These will be events automatically started by that particular aircraft model. If you then click what you want to trace in the cockpit then if it triggers an event (sometimes it does not) , you will see it in the console log window. Good luck Keith

Hi John, No , i did a search for BUS under "all" in the joystick assignments page in the sim but this yielded nothing. I couldn't see anything obvious that relates to this switch when scrolling through the electricals section. Thanks for the reply Keith

Hi guys, This is another switch that I am trying to delegate to my cockpit. I cant find anyhting related to this in the events list and when I do a log trace on the mouse click it doesn't show any activity in the log window. Am I scuppered? There is nothing worse than having a complete home cockpit full of switches to play with and instead having to use the mouse! Cheers Keith
