Hi John, for any reason I don't understand everything is working today. Just wanted to let you know... Cheers, Chris

That's a good question. Would guess around a year or so. Don't worry, we don't have any stress here 🙂 Look at it whenever you have the time... Cheers, Chris

Yes, I'm using the latest release. Updated it prior to posting here as I thought it might be an issue. No it also doesn't work when manually giving FS2020 the focus. What I have noticed is, that once the script runs and I put any window on top of MSFS, MSFS jumps on top whenever a view change in the lua file is triggered. That was also the case before setting SetForegroundOnKeySend=Yes and using the keypressplus command. Looking forward to your feedback! Cheers, Chris

Hello John again, I tried both but no change so far. Was that the right way of including the optional parameter? -> ipc.keypressplus(0x31, 16, 4) Cheers, Chris

Hi John, I will give it a try! Thanks, Chris

Dear all, I have a lua script for automatic change of view: cycleViews.lua It used to work but I haven't used it for quite a while now. So, here comes the problem: once I run the lua script (execution and kill of the script is assigned to a joy-button) the script is executed. So far so good. In the log file (FSUIPC7.log) it can be seen that the desired keypresses are sent to MSFS. However, these keypresses don't cause the desired funcion to happen. If I press the keys manually within MSFS, everything works like it should, but for some reason (I'm not so much into lua scripting to be honest...) the keypresses sent by FSUIPC are not working. Is there anyone here, who can help me in solving this issue? Best regards, Chris

Hi John again, found it! 🙂 And it's working! Thanks alot!!! 🙂 Cheers, Chris

Hi John, I'm outing me as a complete idiot here. First of all, thanks for your support! I understood the script and got the idea! But I am obviously too dumb to assign it to a button. I copied the lua file into the FSUIPC installation folder and am lost now. I thought I might be able to select it in the dropdown menu, but I didn't find it there. Should I look for the name cycleViews there? Cheers, Chris BTW: I just bought a copy of FSUIPC on simmarket. Shorty after that I found that it was the version 4! I then bought anoher copy of FSUIPC 7, which is registered now 🙂 🙂 But no problem. The tool is absolutely great and such an important piece of software! I see this as a donation to your efforts! 🙂

Hi John, please find attached two screenshots out of FS2020. It's in German, but i think you'll get it. Cheers, Chris

Hi John, I did this with the software vJoy (https://vjoy.en.softonic.com/). With the help of this tool you can define virtual Joysticks, which normally adds to FS2020 as a selectable device like any other physical joystick . A second tool named "vJoy Feeder" allows for pressing these virtual buttons, which then get recognized normally by FS2020. I assigned the buttons then within FS2020 That's it. Pretty easy and straight forward. Unfortunately it's not possible to script the "vJoy Feeder" I'm wondering why do you ask? Did this tool something special? Cheers, Chris

Hi John, here comes the second file... Cheers, ChrisFSUIPC7_virtual_Joybuttons.log

Hi John, thanks so much for your kind support in this case! I do appreciate this a lot!! I redid the whole procedure. Logging events has been activated during my first log file. I jus wanted to keep it short. I have attached a log file (FSUIPC7_Keypresses.log), which was created during pressing ALT+1 until ALT+0. Each Keybinding stands for a different camera I want to switch through. I also created a different log file, which was created while pressing the virtual buttons on the virtual joystick. I will attach it to the next comment, as I'm limited here with 18 kB max. upload. I checked the file, but for me it seems that nothing has been recorded, but while pressing the buttons, the cameras switched. So, the buttons were working. Cheers, Chris

Hi John, thanks for your proposal! Indeed, I'm familiar with vba and I principally know how to organize scripts, but if I have literally no starting point in this case. If you would give me a little support and a few hints I might be able to do it! OK, I have attached the FSUIPC7.log of two camera events in a row and commented it. Within MSFS I have binded it to "ALT+1". In the end I would like to start this script with the press of a button. Thanks in advance! Cheers, Chris

Hi John again, after a quick research I don't think I might be successful with this project. I would literally start from scratch and it would take me ages to scceed. Do you know a platform / person where I could ask someone to do this for me. Editing and customizing scripts once understood is no problem, but doing the script from scratch is a problem. I'm of course willing to pay for this. Any idea? Thanks, Chris

Hi John, thanks for your fast response! I was hoping that this would have been more common and straight forward, but now I understand, that I kond of have to deep dive into this topic. Scared about it.... Thanks again, Chris
