[Lua scripts in AUTO sction do not run in MSFS2024]

Since today my Lua scripts I have in the [AUTO] section of the .ini file don't run in MSFS2024. In MSFS2020 it works. I have one single FSUIPC installation for both sims. Attached is the .ini file and both logs (2020 and 2024). 

What can possibly cause this? I think MSFS2024 must be the cause because I didn't change anything in FSUIPC and it worked in 2024 this morning but not this afternoon.

[How can I decide if the aircraft loaded is a helicopter?]

Thank you, John!

[How can I decide if the aircraft loaded is a helicopter?]

Unfortunately this doesn't work out. It depends if the ATC Type in the aircraft.cfg file has been set correctly.

Just 3 examples:

AH's Cessna 170: "C170BT"

Miltech's Chinook: "$$:Helicopter"

Microsoft's Bell 47J: "Bell"

Thank you, I'll try that.

Maybe I missed something in the documentation?

[Flaps decrease and Increase not working]

John, you're of course right.

For my peripherals I use FSUIPC exclusively. I cleared all my MSFS profiles (except keyboard and mouse) but somehow MSFS 2024 managed to come up with a standard profile for the flaps.

Works now.

Thank you,

Karl

[Flaps decrease and Increase not working]

Ok, I'll check. Thank you.

[Flaps decrease and Increase not working]

Here we are. For this test I used the same FSUIPC installation as I use for MSFS 2020,

[Flaps decrease and Increase not working]

I use the binding in the screenshot. This works in 2020, but in 2024 it extends and retracts the flaps completely. Anyone also sees this? Tested with empty Community folder and with 2024-native aircraft as well as with 3rd party aircraft.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong here.

Thank you!

I need different lua scripts and most likely different bindings for 2024. How can I do a 2nd FSUIPC installation for MSFS 2024? I don't want to change my 2020 setup.

[Is it possible to read a pressed Key in a lua Script?]

I see.

[Is it possible to read a pressed Key in a lua Script?]

If you really want to read a button state you can do it like this:

 

Button_C_Mask = ipc.buttons("C")
if logic.And(Button_C_Mask, 0x8000000) == 0x8000000 then

[FSUIPC 7 takes a long time to start]

Thank you, John!

[FSUIPC 7 takes a long time to start]

DetectToConnectDelayAuto=30 did it.

 

Thank you,

Karl

[FSUIPC 7 takes a long time to start]

Thank you John, I will do as you advised. Anyway, I did not make changes to my ini file lately, so I'm wondering why this stats to happen now.

In the log between the two lines

there is a long gap. Please see the attached log file.

[Cockspur C510 assignments too complicated]

I have the Cockspur A22, battery and alternator switches are not working with standard assignments. But it has input events for it, named "ELECTRICAL_Battery_1" and "ELECTRICAL_Alternator_1". Maybe the C510 also has it?

[ipc.CalcCode("code") error (Can't figure out why)]

1 hour ago, DaveSCUSA said:

Duh, thank you.

That's why in progtramming one has walksthru. Or better error descriptions in compilers.

Well, the error description is spot on. ipc is a table and "execCalcCode" is a field in this table.. Look at this, both syntaxes are valid:

 

ipc.execCalcCode("1 (>K:SET_STARTER1_HELD)")

ipc["execCalcCode"]("1 (>K:SET_STARTER1_HELD)")

The error message tells you that there is no table entry with key "CalcCode" (there is no field named "CalcCode") in table ipc.

[ipc.CalcCode("code") error (Can't figure out why)]

It's ipc.execCalcCode(...)

[Exception 20 "DATA_ERROR"]

Thank you John. It's not causing any issues but is there each time I fly the Bell 47J.

[Exception 20 "DATA_ERROR"]

I got a line Exception 20 "DATA_ERROR", Ref 19906, Index param 1 on write SetData for "AILERON TRIM PCT" in my log file. Something to worry?
