To remove the splash screen (or text display), just open and edit the MSFSwithFSUIPC7.bat file located in your installation folder. It should be  pretty easy to adjust to your needs. I'll add some flags and simple instructions on how yo adjust to run without the text and/or splash screen in the next installer update. I think I'll also add an FSUIPC7 ini parameter to skip the FSUIPC7 splash as well if needed.

 

Hello John,

I searched, but can't find any flags or entries to remove the splash screen.

Could you just give a little hint how I can disable it easily?

thanks!

[FSUIPC remains running despite Exit with FS]

Hello,

 

since several versions I have the problem, that FSUIPC is still running, beside I have the option checked "Exit with FS".

What is strange is, that the icon in the task bar vanishes, but I have a running instance in the task manager

 

That leads to an error when I startup the sim again, saying that another instance is already running. But it happens not every time, but I haven't figured out how to reproduce it and waht leads to this error.

This is with Win10, Pro version, all updates

 

Any ideas what happens there?

many thanks

Günter

[Space in custom FSUIPC folder]

Hello,

 

I see you changed it in the release version and I can report it is working!

thx!

[Space in custom FSUIPC folder]

Hello John and Peter,

 

I have renamed my FSUIPC folder to get my addons better sorted. In my case it is now "0AA - FSUIPC7"

 

The result is now, that the new FSUIPC and MSFS shortcut does not work, because the path in your MSFSwithFSUIPC7.bat is now:

start "" F:\MSFS2020\Community\0AA - FSUIPC7\FSUIPC7.exe

 

where 

start F:\MSFS2020\Community\"0AA - FSUIPC7"\FSUIPC7.exe

would be right.

 

I know, simplest way would be in my case to rename my FSUIPC folder (or edit yout bat), but maybe you could take care of this to avoid confusion for other users?!

 

 

And could the starting animation with the dots be skipped? Why do we need it?

 

many thanks

Günter

 

[Any possibility to control e.g VS?]

For my logic, you set the values for the climb or descent, not enabling VS hold itself?

 

Here it is working as it should: I enable VS hold and after that I make the input to change the value how many feet ...

Or do I misunderstand sth.?

[Any possibility to control e.g VS?]

VNAV/NAV is working here with

AP_NAV1_HOLD

or

AP_NAV1_HOLD_ON

AP_NAV1_HOLD_OFF

[Any possibility to control e.g VS?]

YES!!!

 

All the above is working!

So, if you could implement FLC also, we have covered the most important AP functions!

 

I seek also for Map Range/Zoom for the Garmins, but as it isn't also implemented in the default assignments, I do not think theres a possibility?!

 

Many thx!!!

[Any possibility to control e.g VS?]

I tried all the above controls and offsets you suggested and some more ... (AP_Panel_VS_on/off etc). Nothing works.

 

I tested it with the TBM and the Cessna Caravan.

Haven't tested other so can't say if its tied to these two only. Don't think so.

 

If I send the control I get the following error:

   816485 LUA.5: LINDA:: [F] FSX control: 65890  param: 1
   816485 Exception 1 "ERROR", Ref 3678, Index param 2 on TransmitClientEvent, object=0, id=65890 (????), data=1

 

[Any possibility to control e.g VS?]

many thx!

[Any possibility to control e.g VS?]

thank you for your answer.

 

The last topic you linked for me is exactly my problem, FLC and VS are the same which are not accessible currently it seems. So, we have to wait.

 

So, with the list provided in the MSFS SDK --> Dokumentation (EventIds or Simulation Variables) we could also not work currently? (hope that is not a dumb question - but I have no clue)

 

thx!

[Any possibility to control e.g VS?]

Hello,

 

first thanks for your great work!

 

I still trying to interface MSFS with LUA.

Most simple controls do work, many for the AP fortunately.

But I can't get to have VS (hold) working. (up and down works)

 

Is there any possibility to make VS working with FSUIPC?

 

many thanks

[FSUIPC7 intermittent disconnects: TransmitClientEvent failures]

Just want to add, that I get the same issue

These are just some of hundreds as I was moving my axes a while, what is shown here as parameters, but no movement in the VC.

 

I had this twice relative shortly and in both cases I made a steep turn (with my saitek pedals) while rolling on ground. Coincidence or not.

Note: I haven't installed the provided exe from above. Just the original current FSUIPC

 

thx for having a look into it!

[FS2020 - A lot of informations]

Some functions will no longer work and will be removed (e.g. lvar access)

 

Doesn't sound good 😪

thx for answering

 

[FS2020 - A lot of informations]

Is there any information if LUA scripts do work (or in other word if LINDA will work)?

 

thx!

[CTRL+ALT value?]

ok, you brought some light into this … many thanks

[CTRL+ALT value?]

In my LUA script the above code is working very well.

And "11" does send CTRL+SHIFT , without TAB … tested it.

 

The page 19 in the LUA library does not tell me anything about value 11 … or have I missed it? I have it from an other scripz

Quote

The shifts value is a combination (add them) of the following values, as needed: 
1 Shift

2 Control

4 Alt

8 Tab

16 Alt (take care with this one—it invokes the Menu) 

 

Quote

 0 Null (+ Alt, Shift etc alone)  

8 Backspace  

9 Tab  

12 NumPad 5 (NumLock Off)  

13 Enter  

16 Shift  

17 Control  

 

So, how is CTRL+ALT possible?

[CTRL+ALT value?]

Hello,

I can use with LUA value 11 for CTRL+SHIFT

But what is the value for CTRL + ALT?

 

example:

-- CTRL + SHIFT + F16
    ext.sendkeys(myHandle, 127,11,4)
    

What should I insert if I want the keycombination CTRL + ALT + F16?

 

many thanks!

Anyway, I'm on holiday soon for two weeks. Back 26th May. 

 

ok, then we have a P3D v4 release date ;)

[64 bit compatibility?]

Hello Pete,

 

just wanted to ask if the above statement is currently valid or if there are new insights?

Probably you got access now to the beta and have further knowledge?

 

many thanks,

[P3D runs in the background Part Deux]

Will do and report back ...

(it is time consuming as on my system the error just comes up after some time my PC is shut down. So I can't test such things immediately unfortunately)

[P3D runs in the background Part Deux]

I have to report, that I have with 4.961 again the "vanishing issue" as I have reported it in the other long thread some weeks ago.

 

After I send my PC to sleep or shutoff for some time and restart it, P3D stays in the background after start.

Disabling FSUIPC solves it OR reinstalling 4.961!

Exact same behave as it was with v 4.959.

4.960 was without issues, not a single failure.

 

Win 10 64, P3D HF2 (not 3!)

 

strange ...

If you'd like an early build, with no documentation except offset data start position, then you would get it a lot earlier. You'd need then to work out what was where, using the .h file as a guide.

 

I can have a look at that early document and will try to help to figure out the offset documentation. I will make that list for you if I'm able to ...

Would be a pleasure (boring pleasure, but pleasure as you helped me already a lot the last years ;) )

no hurry ...

Yes, will test. Just drop me a note, will test when I'm able... what means nearly every evening one or two hours.
