If I run FSUIPC with elevated privileges, the exe.xml of MSFS2024 is unable to auto-launch FSUIPC in the first place. So it's a bit of a chicken-egg problem I guess.... PS: I of course also considered running the sim with elevated privileges, but that created a whole different set of issues and is advised against by many add on devs.

It indeed shows error 740. What does this mean? 124766 FSUIPC couldn't run: ""C:\Program Files (x86)\REX Atmos Core\weathercreator.exe"" in folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\REX Atmos Core" [Error=740]

So I autos-start a couple of programs with FSUIPC, which works well. But some (like for instance ActiveSky or REX Atmos) won't start, I just get a windows chime at the moment they should auto-start. Any idea why that is? Could it be that they need some special permissions (the are not set as "run as admin" but they still have this little "admin icon" next to theirs). Here my auto-start section. Everything works, except for Atmos (the last one). [Programs] RunIf1=READY,KILL,"C:\BeyondATC\BeyondATC.exe" RunIf2=READY,KILL,"C:\Users\tschu\AppData\Local\Programs\pegasus\Pegasus.exe" RunIf3=READY,DELAY[=30],KILL,"C:\Program Files (x86)\FS2Crew Animated FO Fenix A320 Project\FS2Crew Animated FO Fenix A320 Project.exe" RunIf4=READY,KILL,"C:\MSFS_ADDONS\WEATHER\RealTurb CAT Areas Global for MSFS\RealTurb CAT Areas Global for MSFS.exe" RunIf5=READY,DELAY[=30],KILL,"C:\Program Files (x86)\REX Atmos Core\weathercreator.exe" Thanks

Okay, thanks. That's what I thought too. Adding it to the exe.xml won't work either, same problem, I don not run MSFS with admin rights, so it won't be able to launch addons via the exe.xml that need elevated privileges, and afaik it's not recommenced to run MSFS with admin rights. ... maybe HiFi will add an auto-launch functionality in the future. Thanks!

Meanwhile I've figured out in the log* that it's an [Error 740], so although AS_FS.exe is not set to run with administrator rights, it still somehow is (indicated by the little shield) and is not accessible to start by FSUIPC... Might be something ActiveSky-specific, because I could not find out how to change that. * 322047 FSUIPC couldn't run: "C:\MSFS_ADDONS\WEATHER\AS_FS\AS_FS.exe" in folder "C:\MSFS_ADDONS\WEATHER\AS_FS" [Error=740]

Hi, I have 3 of programs I want to start with FSUIPC, which works fine but for some reason, one program (ActiveSky) won't start (I only hear a warning "ding" when MSFS is up and running, indicating something's apparently not working, but no message is produced). What could be the reason for this? My .ini entries; [Programs] RunIf1=READY,KILL,C:\MSFS_ADDONS\TRAFFIC\fsltl-traffic-injector\fsltl-trafficinjector.exe RunIf2=READY,DELAY[=30],"C:\Program Files (x86)\FS2Crew Fenix A320 for MSFS\FS2Crew Fenix A320 for MSFS.exe" RunIf3=READY,KILL,C:\MSFS_ADDONS\WEATHER\AS_FS\AS_FS.exe 1 and 2 start fine, 3 won't. None of the application are starting with admin rights. Thanks for any ideas, Stu

That worked, thank you sir!

hi. I have the same issue, I put [Profile.FenixA320] 1=FenixA320 but FSUIPC won't recognize this and I have to link the profile again for every single livery. Don't know if it's an issue with FSUIPC or the v2 of the Fenix, but it use to work just fine a while ago. I tried different lines, like "Fenix A320" or "FenixA320cfm" etc., but nothing seem to work. After I link the aircraft (jn this case EC-LOP) to the profile via the FSUIPC window, the ini looks like this: [Profile.FenixA320] 1=FenixA320 2=Fenix A320 - VLG EC-LOP Any advice on how I set it to load the profile for any Fenix livery? Thanks!

hi, anyone else having elevation issues (again) after SU10 (asobo version deinstalled)? not as severe as in the OP but still notable hills and valleys.... any suggestions?

Same here. I just bought this and there's a huge elevation issue with this scenery!! Please advise!!!

I'd also very much like this, I hope it can be implemented (and will work with AIG) 🙂 This was/is one of my most favorite an useful functionalities in FSUIPC6 on P3D. Thanks!

Hi, is it possible to set a joystick axis in a way that it will only work if a certain key is pressed at the same time? For instance, use the joystick x-axis as "steering set" but only when I press (and hold) the ctrl key at the same time. Thanks for any advice!

Understood. Thanks! 👍

Okay, I see 🙂 I was just doing as this passage in the manual states "For key presses, the <key> value following the letter ‘K’ is the virtual key code for the key to be pressed." but maybe that's for something else... Getting rid of the K worked perfectly, the script now does exactly what I wanted, that's so awesome!! Thanks guys!!! Cheers, Stu

Thanks for helping me out Pete, I used the above script to create "autorecord.lua" but couldn't get it to work properly. I tried to get it to "press" the V-key (for taking a screenshot on my system) by commenting out and adding the line ipc.keypress(K86). But this did not to anything. The log mentions an error, but I can't make sense of it: ********* LUA: "autorecord" Log [from FSUIPC version 6.1.2a] ********* 98328 System time = 09/08/2021 16:05:52, Simulator time = 17:00:08 (15:00Z) 98328 LUA: beginning "C:\Users\Stu\Documents\Prepar3D v5 Add-ons\FSUIPC6\autorecord.lua" 98328 *** LUA Error: C:\Users\Stu\Documents\Prepar3D v5 Add-ons\FSUIPC6\autorecord.lua:16: 'end' expected (to close 'function' at line 3) near '<eof>' 98328 >>> Thread forced exit (ipc.exit or os.exit) <<< 98328 System time = 09/08/2021 16:05:52, Simulator time = 17:00:08 (15:00Z) ********* LUA execution terminated: Log Closed ********* What am I missing?
