Hmm, you're right. I was just looking for a reason this failed on P3Dv5 and not P3Dv4. Anyway, it still seems to be working on the USB 2 hub. Wes

I tried the INI file, but it didn't help. However, I then switched this device over to a USB 2 hub and so far it hasn't failed. Note that my computer only has USB 3 ports. I'm also wondering whether the 64-bit P3dv5 has something to do with it. As I said, I had never had this problem on P3Dv4, which was 32-bit. Also, I haven't had any problems with any of my other devices, which are all connected to the USB 3 hub. Thanks, Wes

This just happened again, only this time neither the throttle nor the mixture controls worked. This was the first time I've run it since my last report. When I initially started P3D, both controls were working, but after starting the engine, both of those controls stopped. I am attaching a zip file with the requested files -- ini, csv, log. Thanks, Wes logs.zip

I have now installed FSUIP6.0.11. I tried uploading the ini, csv and log files, but I now keep getting a message saying "You can only upload a total of 0MB". I did not install a new FSUIPC5, since I am no longer using that. (I had used it previously with P3Dv4.) When I first started P3Dv5, neither the throttle nor the mixture controls worked, but after I restarted P3D, they both work. I have not yet reencountered the throttle not working.

John, Thanks for your quick response. I have attached my FSUIPC5.ini and FSUIPC6.ini files. The device in question is called "Saitek Pro Flight TPM System". I do see that there are multiple entries for this device-- not sure why. There are more in the FSUIPC6.ini file. I disabled the power management for usb. I am using usb 3. Note, however, that my mixture and prop controls are on the same device as the throttle, i.e., the same usb connection, so I think this is probably not the cause of the problem. Furthermore, it failed multiple times (but not every time) after doing that in my testing today. In testing this today, I found that when I go into FSUIPC, it does respond to the throttle control. To my surprise, after exiting FSUIPC, the throttle was then working. I will have to continue watching this, but if this is a fix, it is much better than having to restart P3D after replacing the INI file. I still can't figure out what causes this. Thanks, Wes FSUIPC6.iniFSUIPC5.ini

Several months ago I upgraded to P3Dv5 and simultaneously FSUIPC6. Since then, my TPM throttle frequently stops working-- just the throttle, not the mixture or prop control. Usually this is immediately apparent when I start up a new P3Dv5 session, but sometimes it happens after I have been flying for a while. I think that it is an issue with FSUIPC6, not hardware. The hardware continues to work if I check it out with the driver at the same time that it is failing in P3D. I have found that the only way to fix it is to stop P3d, replace the FSUIPC6.ini file with my previous FSUIPC5.ini file and then restart P3d. Furthermore, it never fails like this when I go back to P3Dv4 with FSUIPC5. I control the TPM controls completely via FSUIPC, not P3D. I am running WIndows 10 and mostly fly with A2A aircraft, but I have found that it happens on other aircraft as well.

Update-- I tried again by first uninstalling FSUIPC6 from the addons folder and also removing the FSUIPC6.ini file. Then I recopied and renamed the FSUIPC5.ini file to FSUIPC6.ini and reinstalling and reregistering. This time it seems to have worked.

I'm a long-time FSUIPC user. I just installed P3D V5 and initially just installed FSUIPC6 without registering. I had copied the fsuipc5.ini file from my p3dv4 installation to the fsuipc6.ini file in the p3dv5 addons directory. I saw that it showed up in P3D as an addon, but unregistered. So I bought the registration key for FSUIPC6, and reinstalled FSUIPC6, entering the registration key, name and email as requested, which was accepted. However, when I start P3D, FSUIPC still says it's unregistered. What did I do wrong?
