Hi John Thanks for getting back to me. Yes the calibration does look strange indeed and it looks way different then what it used to look in the past with the same pedals. It may actually be the start of a hardware breakdown. I will try to get hold of another pair of pedals and see how they are performing in the next few days. I already did recalibrate the pedals in windows, but also there the window of movement seems to be very limit compared to before. I already did what you suggested and re-assigend the brakes to FS control and there is actually a small brake movement. I also tried to assign the brakes via the FSL own controls panel which they most developed for the TCA thrustermaster stick and also there is no brake movement at all. Also with general aircraft like the standard F35 there isn't any brake movements.

There is nothing set to the brakes in sim. I tried that last night manually and then the brakes actually do apply a bit. I saw that as well that the value for the right brake is much less than it used to be in the past. Might be an early indication of a hardware failure, but still at least the left brake shows perfectly normal values. I hope they last until the honeycomb charlie comes availabe. In windows the brakes to work and have movement in the system setting calibration page. Not full movement for the left brake, but there is movement. Problems applies to all my profile, airbus, 747, 777 etc.

Hi John Update is done and the log file attached. Linda is not used with the FSL bus, I only use it with the Boeings together with the honeycomb alpha and bravo. FSUIPC6.log

Good morning Reinhard No, I didn't change anything regarding the ports. The files are attached here. FSUIPC6.log FSUIPC6.ini

After a long month I finally had time to fly again, still on my 5.2 setup. Somehow all my airplanes lost the brakes that I set up via fsuipc. The rudder itself is working fine, but when I push down the pedals to brake nothing happens. The axes are still set in fsuipc as always and also the calibration is still the same. When I move the brake pedals within the fsuipc I see the values changing. Any idea what could trigger this behaviour?

Done, will check if the come back when starting the sim again. Thank you very much for your help.

That look a lot better, at least with the FSL airbus. TheFSUIPC6.log only aircraft I can test at the moment, the others are not yet installed. FSUIPC6.ini

Hi John Thanks for jumping in, attached the latest ini and log files. With the original one, you mean the one from v4? FSUIPC6.ini FSUIPC6.log

Hi Pete Yes, I did indeed do both. So i ditched the .ini file and started again with the one I uploaded here earlier. I still do get the warning messages and the joysticks are not working. Attached the new .ini files with the warning message. No worries about beeing out of office. FSUIPC6.ini

Hi Pete I do indeed not have the original ini file with the fresh install, just overwrote ist. I changed now the JoyNames as suggested by you and yes the T.320 is the Thrustmaster airbus stick. The result after loading the sim is now: [JoyNames] AutoAssignLetters=No 2=Alpha Flight Controls 2.GUID={DEDD1DD0-1723-11EC-8007-444553540000} 4=CH Pro Pedals USB Rudder Pedals 4.GUID={DEDDBA10-1723-11EC-800D-444553540000} 3=T.A320 Pilot 3.GUID={DEDD6BF0-1723-11EC-800A-444553540000} 0=Bravo Throttle Quadrant 0.GUID={DED29680-1723-11EC-8002-444553540000} 1=TCA Q-Eng 1&2 1.GUID={DED2BD90-1723-11EC-8004-444553540000} 0.WARNING=This joystick was ID 2, but was duplicated: review and fix assignments, reload settings 1.WARNING=This joystick was ID 4, but was duplicated: review and fix assignments, reload settings 2.WARNING=This joystick was ID 3, but was duplicated: review and fix assignments, reload settings 3.WARNING=This joystick was ID 0, but was duplicated: review and fix assignments, reload settings 4.WARNING=This joystick was ID 1, but was duplicated: review and fix assignments, reload settings A=<< MISSING JOYSTICK >> << MISSING JOYSTICK >> B=<< MISSING JOYSTICK >> << MISSING JOYSTICK >> D=<< MISSING JOYSTICK >> << MISSING JOYSTICK >> C=<< MISSING JOYSTICK >> << MISSING JOYSTICK >> So the numbers seem have to changed back to the state before I manually edited them.

Thank you for the super fast reply Pete, please find the files attached.FSUIPC6.ini FSUIPC6.log

Hi guys I just jumped to v5 and also update some hardware parts (mainboard, gpu) together with a fresh windows install. I dropped than my "old" fsuipic6 files from the old disk into the newly installed one. In the sim my profiles are correctly loaded, however all my button and axis assignments seem to be gone within the profile, even they are still there in the .ini file. My flying hardware is all the same as before, no changes there. Any way to get my old profile back to work without having to assign everything again?

Hi John It is the verhicle title. I fixed the problem with adding Boeing as a 2nd substring in the ini file.

Good evening John One additional question. Is the entry under Vehicle title the one where substring "reads" the information. Because I flew with G-CIVT today and the buttons I programmed before did not work. Since there is no PMDG entry, this might be the reason for it?

Toggle Flight Director did the job 🙂 I was looking only under Flight Director Thank you so much Dani

Hello John It's all working now. The problem was within the numbers under [Profile.Boeing]. Just put it to 1=PMDG now and 747 and 777 are working as they should. Thank you so much. One thing I noticed there is no button to be mapped for flight director on/off? Dani

I did read it, but as a non-native english speaker I had my problems to fully understand it. I got confused because in the user guides it says that the substring thing is not satisfactory and now we should use profiles. Since I am not planning to have more than 3 different settings (Boeing, Airbus and general for the rest) I thought the substring way should be still enought for my going forward. My understanding of the substring thing is, when I call my profile "Boeing" then all aircraft that have the name Boeing will use my Boeing-profile but this is not the case. As I said I will dobule check the ShortAircraftNameOk=Substring again tonight, even I am pretty sure I already checked that before. What I still don't understand 100% where I have to use the substring, once I made sure the setting in [GENERAL] is set properly. Where should that "1=PMDG 747" entry go that you specified above?

Hello again My profile is called "Boeing" 🙂 The substring to be used I enter directly unter the ShortAircraftnameOK parameter in the ini-file right? Does it change anything if I change between two different joysticks? It souldn't make a difference I reckon?

Hi John Thank you for getting back. I thought I checked this already, but I will double check once at home. When I understand you correctly I would rename my "Boeing" profile to "PMDG 747" and the copy that profile and name it "PMDG 777" if I want to use the same config for my 777 fleet? Dani

Hi Pete I am a long time user but just recently started to use the full potential of FSUIPC. Until my honeycomb yoke arrives I still use an old Saitek X52 as my joystick. I disabled the joystick in P3Dv4.5 and sent up all the axes, buttons nicely via FSUIPC, that worked all fine. I set up a profile called "Boeing" when I did the setup within a 747. Even after reading the User Guide and the advanced guide I still struggle to fully understand how to bring this "Boeing" profile to work with another 747 (different livery, still PMDG) or even a PMDG 777 aircraft? How should I tell FSUIPC to use the self created profile? I can see the "Boeing" entries in the .ini file, so I assume I did this part correctly. Can you give me a hint? Any help is much appreciated. Kind regards Dani

Hi Pete It may take a while until you read this but I got good news today :-) It looks like there was one duplicate entry for an FSDT scenery which the AddonOrganiser could solve. After that MakeRunways worked as expected. Thank you very much for your help.

Prepar3D.exe is where it belongs in the root Folder. The same place I put the makerways.exe and the Lorby.exe as well. Just to confirm you mean the Lorby Export.exe right? I can give that a try later this week. Yes, the Addon Organiser finds all my sceneries. Dani

Hello Pete Thank you for your help. I am using Version 4.872. Just downloaded the programme yesterday. I saw that there was a new makerwys_scenery file (or similar Name) just below the .exe file. But there was nearlly no Information inside, just a few lines of text. Something with [AREA] if I remember correctly. I will post you the runways.txt file tomorrow or Friday, i will not make it back to my flightsim computer today. Dani

Helle Pete Sorry for bringing that old topic back up again, but I am having the following problem. I tried to use makerwys.exe today for the first time after updating my RAAS Pro. I placed the makerwys.exe and the lorbysceneryexport.ext into the main Lockheed Martin/Prepar3dv4 root folder. However when I start the makerwys.exe I get the error message: Failed to make all of the data files. I did run the programme as administrator and I tried 2 or 3 times with the same result. From the manual I read that the Addon Organizer is not needed, still I installed it, but the result is the same. Any idea what I could be missing? Kind regards Dani
