  1. EDIT: 'solved' created a macrp file and these show up in the drop down P.S. Could you give an example (above MFD_1 hvar's) of the exact syntax of the lua file with ipc.activateHvar ? Couldnt get that to work
  2. Copied B3D_737.hvar to c:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\packages\fsuipc-lvar-module\work and renamed 737.hvar FSUIPC_WASM.log says: .. Tue Feb 22 01:10:20 2022 [INFO]: 34 hvars loaded for aircraft 'Boeing 737' Tue Feb 22 01:10:20 2022 [INFO]: 297 LVARS found, created 3 Client Data Areas Tue Feb 22 01:10:20 2022 [INFO]: 297 lvars loaded for aircraft 'Boeing 737' .. Now what? Assign f.i. H:AS01B_MFD_1_Range_DEC H:AS01B_MFD_1_Range_INC to a macro or in ipc.activateHvar script? Why can't they show in the dropdown?
  3. I want to enhance my MPC Combo like the good old days and saw the B3D_737.hvar file. FSUIPC 7.2.16 enables the basic SPD HDG ALT perfectly. Tested with B747 default, button dropdown with new profile shows long list of Preset:B747 8 and assigned MFD Range INC/DEC to MPC Combo, and this works. Then again in the drop down I do not see Preset:B737 *whatever, and I can't comprehend the 'copy and rename' stuff about adding HVAR's to FSUIPC. What do I do to get the 737Max HVARs in the FSUIPC dropdown list? (And there's a lot more entries for 747 than in the B747-8.hvar file, how does that work?) thx
  4. runs bat, exe, but not lnk and not VoiceAttack.exe, which seems peculiar to VoiceAttack.exe Run1=kill,i:\TEKST\EFBx4Toolbar\00_Start_EFB_Server.bat Run2=kill,"k:\Little Navmap\littlenavmap.exe" Run3=kill,"k:\Program Files\VoiceAttack\VoiceAttack.exe"
  5. just mentioning it is possible, MSFS Addons Linker is - also - a start shell with a button 'run MSFS' and after MSFS quit, one returns to MSFS Addons Linker, and it kills the batch added programs
  6. Tried 'MSFS Addons Linker' is an MSFS mklink utility with an interface and a menu 'add programs to start with MSFS', here added Voiceattack does load and gets killed? It appears possible. nothing, no voiceattack whatsoever, just 45000 LUA.1: beginning "k:\FSUIPC7\ipcReady.lua" LINDA prog not in RUN
  7. I use standard MKLink for my directory junction Can't see how this would help here? Run2=KILL,"k:\Program Files\VoiceAttack\VoiceAttack.exe" -nofocus -profile "MSFS 2020 VR" does not work, nothing happens neither Run2=KILL,"k:\Program Files\VoiceAttack\VoiceAttack.exe" a BAT file starts but does not get killed with a xx.lnk on could enter a default directory for starting the linked program, perhaps that works
  8. [Programs] Run1=CLOSE,k:\FSUIPC7\linda.exe Run2=CLOSE,i:\TEKST\EFBx4Toolbar\00_Start_EFB_Server.bat Run3="c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Games\VoiceAttack.lnk" Run4=CLOSE,"k:\Little Navmap\littlenavmap.exe" Run3 does not do anything [Programs] Run1=CLOSE,k:\FSUIPC7\linda.exe Run2=CLOSE,i:\TEKST\EFBx4Toolbar\00_Start_EFB_Server.bat Run3="k:\Program Files\VoiceAttack\VoiceAttack.exe" Run4=CLOSE,"k:\Little Navmap\littlenavmap.exe" Run3 Voiceattack does run. Weird what.
  9. being able to run a link would be apreaciated Run xx="a program link".lnk
  10. When without loading LINDA could FSUIPC - load LINDA MSFS-default profile when [LuaFiles] 1=ipcReady 2=LINDA or is that LINDA stuff (that LINDA.lua comes from a Linda installation I guess)
  11. What would be appreciated would be - FSUIPC option to start windowed and not minimize to the Toolbar, so to see plainly the loading - Right shift keys like MSFS, RAlt, RCtrl etc - more than often my LINDA Run1=KILL,k:\FSUIPC7\linda.exe won't start Linda - one (1) instance of FSUIPC be allowed without an error message & confirm box when EXE.xml is defined, just kill the one in memory and refresh with a new one.
  12. A CTD with beta release v7.1.0a, afraid to use it again, (using 7.1.0 now), booted me back to a 'auto computer repair'. Prob because I was trying the new updates and beta, had double FSUIPC.exe entries that I killed in taskmanager, and then, boom when restarting. A stuck FSUIPC not unloading after exit has happened several times 'instance FSUIPC already there' where I think to have stopped FSUIPC or, FSUIPC SHOULD stop with MSFS xml and doesn't, and then restart but discover 2 instances in Taskmanager (and FSUIPC not working) and have to kill both with a bad result now trying beta a. BTW the help says version 7.0.8
  13. I'll try to return this button box, it's not fit to be sold as a 'flightsim' add-on.
  14. Bought a buttonbox from DSD has 5 encoders that are 1. really slow, 2. give a very sort pulse. Read about Rotaries.lua and tried to implement but doing something wrong. What I did: renamed Rotaries.lua to RotariesDSD.lua which shows up in fsuipc.ini [LuaFiles] In fsuipc.log about DSD box says: Vendor=04D8, Product=8A3D (Version 0.1) changed in RotariesDSD.lua: Vendor = "GoFlight" Product = "RP48" to Vendor = "04D8" Product = "8A3D" (and tried Product="8A3D (Version 0.1)", no difference, nothing) Rotaries = { 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8} to Rotaries = { 8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,24,25} ; 5 rotaries per fsuipc inquiry and assigned FS control: rotary H, 24/25 to AP Alt Var Inc/Dec then what? nothing different, what am I missing? I read my MPC-Combo rotaries do a slow/fast pulse, this DSD box apparently does not, but that is where Rotaries.lua is for?
  15. I'd guess you have to make a zzzwhatever.lua in the \modules dir that you trigger with your assign button and in the dropdown "lua zzzwhatever" in the lua the ipc.control(zzzzzzzzzzzzz, 0) <> "zzzzzzzzzzzzz" you find in the "The 2016 List of FSX and P3D Controls.pdf" f.i.: NEW VIEW 65825 VIEW CAMERA TOP DOWN 67156 ^^^ chk of these are the correct ones in the zzzwhatever.lua: ipc.control(65825, 0) -- new view (prob a copy of the active view) ipc.control(67156, 0) -- top down (change to topdown) or you prob do not need a parameter ipc.control(65825) -- new view (prob a copy of the active view) ipc.control(67156) -- top down (change to topdown) this is from the top of my head 2cts
  16. by the way, would it even be possible to 'unload'/kill/disable a (one like this) Lua? for instance when ThrottleManager.LUA is auto started in [auto] is it ever possible to 'unload'/kill/disable this lua from within the running sim (as in: reload button definition, will unload any an edited ini with deleted [auto], would then (re-)start pristine fsuipc4.ini) a ‘lua extension menu’ of some sorts might even/also come to mind (as in x-plane sometimes) where one can enable/kill/disable x-plane ‘extensions’, but in this case running lua’s so to manage ill-behaved or peculiar add-on prog’s (on the fly, not having to restart sim) ? thx
  17. here's your problem Looking for the current user's Application Data path: ... found as "C:\Users\rick office\AppData\Roaming" Now finding \Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3\Prepar3D.CFG for all users, including this one Looking in "C:\Users\All Users\AppData\Roaming" ... No Prepar3D.CFG there .. .. Looking in "C:\Users\rick%20office\AppData\Roaming" ... No Prepar3D.CFG there Cannot edit the DLL.XML file to activate FSUIPC. manually, it cannot find the directory your "Prepar3D.CFG for all users" is in which is weird because on my WIn7 computer the approriate DLL.XML is in the USER directory P3D3 uses 2 DLL.XML find the directory your Prepar3D.cfg is in ("c:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3" on my Win7 OS)) create or edit the DLL.XML in that directory contents should be <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?> <SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0"> <Descr>Launch</Descr> <Filename>dll.xml</Filename> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad> <Launch.Addon> <Name>FSUIPC 4</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>Modules\FSUIPC4.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> </SimBase.Document> attached DLL.XML with only fsuipc reference DLL_XML.ZIP
  18. OhOh good news, found the culprit When testing/cleaning up the fsuipc4.ini I noticed I had ‘forgotten’ about this ThrottleManager.LUA (sorry about that) so, disabled in [AUTO] et voilá, 4 Throttle levers that’s the good news the bad news is, I really really (really) like that ThrottleManager.LUA it does ‘toggle switch and throttle lever switches to reverse thrust’ (I edited the Lua options within, so it doesnt do anything automatic and shows onscreen its status) so f.i. because of Warthog HOTAS switch layout; I land pmdg737 at idle, toggle (EAC and RDR/ALTM) switches underneath HOTAS throttle levers, Fsuipc_window on screen tells me throttles 1 & 2 are in reverse now, so apply reverse thrust, at 60, idle, toggle 2 switches, taxi that’s a great little LUA it appears to be programmed for 4 material throttle levers unfortunately, when I look at the ThrottleManager.LUA I have no idea where even to start to make it compliant with fsuipc Map Any chance you can have a look at the ThrottleManager.LUA? (You should try it anyway, it’s great) Perhaps you know of a working version Lua that does same? Thanks already attached, my custom ThrottleManager.LUA and again, sorry I missed this before ThrottleManagerLUA.zip
  19. I do all normal stuff 2 throttle default no problems whatsoever (baron, king air) I am an experienced fsuipc user, used to program compound buttons, use LINDA now, lots easier attached fsuipc4.ini it's really weird FSUIPC4.ZIP
  20. problem throttle mapping 1,2 throttle > 3,4 engine somehow my 4 engine mapping does not work reinstalled fsxse after long time DCS A10 installed P3D 3.23 (335 does weird) FSUIPC seems to work fine overall (default, PMDG) want a 4 engine in p3d, copy 747 and Constellation to P3D checkbox Map 1->12, Map2->34 exclude Throttlen_SET tested On and OFF (what is this?) in sim no luck will NOT throttle 3 or 4 ? in fsuipc.ini I see added [JoystickCalibration] .. MapThr12to34=Yes MapThr12to123=Yes Warthog HOTAS (drivers installed) / Windows7 x64 / Prepar3D 3.23 / installed latest FSUIPC 4.955c (registered) what am I missing?
  21. I reinstalled FSX SE recently after having flown DCS only for a while. I remember I liked assigning joystick letters to keep track of assignments ("Joy Letters") I tried [JoyNames] AutoAssignLetters=Yes and No according to “When first loaded, and each time the FSUIPC Options dialogue is used, FSUIPC4 scans the Windows registry and makes a list of the names and "GUIDs" lodged there for each of those connected joysticks which it refers to numerically” BUT this section is EMPTY: .. [WideServer] WideFSenabled=No AdvertiseService=1 Port=8002 Port2=9002 [JoyNames] AutoAssignLetters=Yes [Axes] PollInterval=10 RangeRepeatRate=10 0=0X,256,D,45,0,0,0 -{ DIRECT: Aileron/SlewSide }- 1=0Y,256,D,46,0,0,0 -{ DIRECT: Elev/SlewAhead }- 2=0S,256,D,23,0,0,0 -{ DIRECT: Flaps }- 3=1Z,256,D,10,0,0,0 -{ DIRECT: Throttle2 }- .. etc ? In an old backup FSUIPC.INI I did find this section populated with my Saitek devices. I have now attached Thrustmaster HOTAS. How do I get FSUIPC to register my devices? edit: BTW apart from not mentioning the joysticks everything works ok win7x64 FSX-SE latest fsuipc 4.955
  22. mine gives the ### Failed to obtain SIM1 Frictions access: no frictions facilities available! error but works fine
  23. mine does Saitek seems to have a problem with USB IQ address conflicts, try pulling other USB equipment My Logitech 350 keyboard I have to disconnect before connecting my Saitek and can than reconnect after Saitek, or there might be those Saitek disconnect/reconnect errors 2cts
