Mr. Dowson "Your kind response clarified my confusion. "You said you only wanted one lot of settings for all aircraft except the F6F. So you just make assignments, as you wish, but without selecting Profile mode. Then only the F6F will load profiled settings, the rest will use generic settings, all automatically. This doesn't preclude you from making other profiles later." The without selecting: Profile mode made it all clear. Thanks for all your help. budsbud

MR. Dowson From what I am seeing here it appears that I must set up in FUIPC assignments for all of the planes that I want to fly. Is this correct ? It is FUIPC for all or none. budsbud

Mr. Dowson, Please forgive my ignorance on all this. I hate to bother you with my problems. Again I am confused. You stated: “You posted to the FAQ sub0forum, which is a repository for answers to Frequently Asked Questions, not the Support Forum. Please only ever post support questions here, in the Forum proper. You are lucky I saw it.” I assume that I should have posted this query in the Support Forum ? I disabled the controllers in FSX. Removed the Aileron, Rudder, Elevator, axis in FSX. Loaded the F6F. Tried to follow the instruction as per the FSUIPC Users Guide. I had made no assignments before I started the profile for thr F6F. Began with setting those axis using Profile Specific. Set up a few buttons for flaps, elevator trim. I went out to FSX and things worked well. I then exited FSX and reloaded it. Selected the C-117 to Fly Now. I had assumed that the FSUIPC setting would only be active when the F6F was loaded. The C-117 came up but no controls functioned.

New to FUIPC and would like to have a separate profile for my F6F and normal FSX for all my other plane. I tried to set up for the loaded F6F for Prifile Specific and it seemed to be working pretty well. I switched to a Douglas C-117 and nothing worked. I exited FSX and reloaded the C-117 still no joy. I really have no clue as what I'm doing so I know I messed it all up somehow. I do need help. budsbud

Mr Dowson Many thanks for your prompt response to my query. As others have asked: Yes I have been through all the SDKs available so I do no think that I have missed much. Let me restate the problem. I found the proper variables in the gauges & panels SDK And in using them in BMEP gauges. BMEP = Torque * 0.7381835 The gauge XML shows “Eng Toque:1” for Engine 1 torque. The BMEP readings are pretty much according to engine specs so I feel the Torque values are correct also, This TORQUE value only appears as such in FSLook and is indentified as ID Number 140. and is not in FSLook2. It is not in the Interrogator as an offset listed variable either. As you state the FSUIPC offset torques listed are for helicopters and are not the same as the one in question there fore not the correct ones for my use. If FSLook uses an old inefficient interface, could I possibly have a copy of that interface so that I might learn how to extract these token variable values. I know that I am asking for quite a lot but if this piece is no longer supported I hope you might let me have a copy. Thanks again and I hope all the best for you and yours. MERRY XMAS

Mr. Peter Dowson I hope you can help me in an application I am working on which uses your great FSUIPC packages. I find that not all the token variables have listed offsets that may be accessed in FS. One in particular that I am interested in is the “Engine1 Torque”, ID Number 140. I wish to access these token variables if possible but do not know how. Are they accessed by name or by ID number and if not by the ID number what is the ID number for? The program FSLook accesses all of these variables with no problems but how is it done? As you have been so outstandingly generous in offering all of your great work to the public I am in hopes that you can tell me how to access these token variables. BudsBud
