    P.S. Its 'Dowson' not 'Dawson'! Sorry for the typo. Cheers Alhard

    Hi John, IT WORKS PERFECT with P3D. Thanks! Now I need it also for FSX FSUIPC V4, as the group flies with FSX mainly and often P3D. Is it impertinent or ungrateful to ask for again?
  3. Alhard Horstmann
    Great, John, thanks for the quick implementation. I will test it tomorrow and I will report.

    This is bad and good news!! Bad, cause I would miss you very very much Pete, It was great "talking" and developing over the past 12 years with you. I hope you will stay here in the forum. Good, cause the brilliant tool FSUIPC stays in Dawson family hands. John, welcome again from my side. BTW.: 2 years ago I intended to ask you Pete, who will be your follower? But I didn't dare. Now I got the answer!! Best regards, Alhard (13 years FSUIPC user)

    Hi dear Dawsons, thanks for your understanding and proposed help. May I ask Pete: who is John? Your new developing partner? He is very welcome!

    Hi Pete, as I am the moderator and group leader of about 8 simulator pilots, we have joint meetings every 4 weeks on two simulators at my home for 8 hours, and also intermediate meetings. For preparation and during my sessions, I configure the flights for new actions on different airplanes, different weather conditions, different airfields. Therefore the FSUIPC calibration and configuration could change very often. I am using profiles from begin on, as we fly gliders, single propeller, twin propeller, commercial airliners (A320), helicopters, etc. Beside the profiles, I store the configurations in different FSUPC-xxxx.INI files. Now , since I connected the additional microcontroller box (Arcaze USB) , I have this jitter problem with "ignore axis" solution . And, sometimes the (e.g.:) ailerons don't work, due to jitter of other axis ! Please help.
  7. Alhard Horstmann
    Hi Pete, I did not assign any of these "open" axis. What troubles me is the following: When I start my flight and want to change e.g. the calibration of one of my assigned axis, I CAN NOT , due to jittering continuously one of these "open" axis. An access to the correct axis is not possible, as long as I do not click on "ignore axis". The reason for having "open" axis is that some of the input sensors of my micro controller is OPEN. No hardware connected. Does it make sense to send you the log file?
  8. Alhard Horstmann
    I am using this button 'ignore' each time when I start to fly. And I have to do this for 4 axis! Next time I have to do it again and again, cause this axis ignore is not stored. So I still think this function is missing.
  9. Alhard Horstmann
    Thanks, this would be fine. I have an USB microcontroller with a lot of buttons and no axis, which send axis information to FSUIPC, though there is no axis installed. And this confuses the FSUIPC configuration with the other real axis.
  10. Alhard Horstmann
    Hi Pete, I found in the documentation the parameter IgnoreThese= j.b, j.b, ... , but I need ignore axis. I understood it's for buttons only. How can I implement this function ignore axis ?
  11. Alhard Horstmann
    This is very good information and advise. Thanks. Now I know better what happens. I pressed the key for New_View and I found the corresponding control 65825 (see below). 249835 LogOptions changed, now 60000000 0000001D 249991 Ready Flags: Ready-To-Fly=Y, In Menu=N, In Dlg=N 251489 KEYDOWN: VK=219, Waiting=0, Repeat=N, Shifts=0 251489 .. Key not programmed -- passed on to FS 251489 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 65825 (0x00010121), Param= 0 (0x00000000) NEW_VIEW 251785 KEYUP: VK=219, Waiting=0 255373 Memory in use: 2542Mb, Avail=1554Mb, MaxFreeBlock=1448Mb I will continue my investigations and report in case of a solution 😀

    Thanks Pete, this is not good news. But there is still open my question before : E. g. : how is the usage of IPC. Control (65825), the New View control. What parameter? I do not understand. Sorry. I now experiment in panel.cfg and aircraft.cfg, with the camera and window segment.
  13. Alhard Horstmann
    Hello mtjoeng, I tested with your proposal and I got a new window with the Cockpit View. Thats good. But how can I select (e.g.by parameter) which View and the position of the new window in my FSX screen? I think I read very carefully all the docs, written by Pete, but unfortunately I didn't find a solution. Thanks
  14. Alhard Horstmann
    Thanks.I will try and report.

    Hi Pete, I need for a button a FSX&P3D control for the function "New View" e.g. "Overhead Panel". I was looking around and only found in the FSX&P3D controls list some of this: "New_View", "View", "View_Mode" and I never know, do I need parameters and which one. I tested these function without a result. Is there a document which describes the usage of these controls related to the FSX or P3D functions? thanks in advance ------- Clarification of my question ------ from FSX Help Information: There are SIX MAIN VIEWS (S). Each has a subset reachable by pressing A. You can see all of them by pulling down the Views menu and choosing View Mode. You can open any of them in a new window by pulling down that Views menu and choosing New View. I want to assign a controller button to this function " selecting New View and selecting OVERHEAD view" in a new window. ------ I hope this helps ----- ********* FSUIPC4, Version 4.974b (14th March 2018) by Pete Dowson ********* Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit with SP 1.0 reported as Build 7601 (OS 6.1) fsx_mas.exe version = 10.0.61472.0 Reading options from "Z:\FSX\Modules\FSUIPC4_mas.ini" Running inside FSX on Windows 7 ...

    I did it and it works well. But as I want to switch to a specific application, ALT-TAB is unfortunately toggling through the already started tasks. Especially the WideClient window opens as well, which I do not want to see during my task switches. I will test it now with --- = EXT.RUN ("pathname", EXT_MIN") --- Using the mouse is more cumbersome than to press a button on the flight stick. 😀 Alhard

    Hi Pete, I did it and the mystery has gone , Thanks
  18. Alhard Horstmann
    Hi Pete, I have a mysterious phenomena with WideFS v7.151. I start FSX and assign a button to a function , see attachment "Joy# ProblemP1". Then I start WideFS and try to assign another button, then the button ID# has changed, see attachment "Joy# ProblemP2". What happens here and what means "Button Thread Started" in the LOG , see attachment "WideClient.log" ?? It runs days before. Do you need more information? Edit: I forgot to send my WideClient.ini, see attachment. Alhard WideServer.logWideClient.logWideClient.log WideClient.ini
  19. Alhard Horstmann
    thanks Pete, I will try and report Alhard
  20. Alhard Horstmann
    Hi Pete, how can I assign with FSUIPC a button for "ALT-TAB" to switch to another task? When I am flying, I want to switch from my cockpit view screen to another application like FS-FlightControl or a weather program. Alhard

    Pete, this is my logging in FSUIPC. Lua is not activated. and this is my FSUIPC INI file. FSUIPC4_mas.ini Yes I have luckily finished. But as I am IT man by earlier profession, I am interested in all interrelationships in my SIMs and AddOns. Alhard
  22. Alhard Horstmann
    Pete, I think you misunderstood. I know what and where ipcDebug.lua is. My question is , why comes this error message " cannot open " in the Lua Log ? Ther is no ipcDebug.lua in my FSX modules folder. Alhard
  23. Alhard Horstmann
    HURRAH ! All function are now working, e.g. MAXIMIZE (ext.state(myHandle,EXT_MAX)) AND send keys (elseif ipcPARAM == 4 then KeyOk = ext.sendkeys(myHandle,77,3)). I used now your new version ***** LUA: "ahFC_ControlV4PD" Log [from FSUIPC version 4.974b] ********* Great job, Pete. Still unclear : *** LUA Error: cannot open Z:\FSX\Modules\ipcDebug.lua: No such file or directory Who calls ipcDebug.lua ? It is NOT in my Modules folder. ******** Now I can continue with my other project : Replace buttons by SECOND Keyboard keys. see here Talk to you again soon, I hope Alhard
  24. Alhard Horstmann
    I understood that FSUIPC5 is for P3D only. Not FSX. Correct?
  25. Alhard Horstmann
    OK, I will try now. You said "send key press" doesn't work? But this is exactly what I need !!??
