You mean in P3D4? In the Settings - Controls section? I don't remember off hand, but it is there somewhere, because I disabled it myslef last week. Keep looking. L-M have moved things around a little. If you get stuck, ask in the P3D Frukm over in AVSIM or on the L-M forums. I'm taking s little break. I'm going a bit dizzy here. Pete

You mean the "pay booth" at SimMarket I think! It isn't an "upgrade" -- you use the same installed version of FSUIPC5 and simply register it. What page are you trying to go to to get an error 404? No links to the payment page are available until the page actually exists. Pete

Well, I have many applcations using offsets and working well. There's no change in this interface. I really don't know which offsets he thinks are "missing" (by which I assume he must mean "don't work"?). If he or you would like to tell me which, I can easily test them here. Offsets are never actually "missing" -- the offset number is simple a value between 0000 and FFFF (0 and 65535 in decimal), and that range is always the same. Maybe he is saying P3D is not responding to the throttle changes. that is a different matter. Why don't yo enable Offset Write and the two Event logging options, and see for yourself. Pete

The FSUIPC5 application interface is no different that that for FSUIPC4 (or FSUIPC3 for that matter), so I see no reason why it should not work. Haven't you tried it? Pete

Offset access for applications does not depend on registration. Button and Switch assignments are nothing to do with "offsets" but are part of the facilities in the Registered install. Sorry, I don't really know how much ProSim uses FSUIPC. On my own system ALL of the ProSim assignments are via FSUIPC offsets because my hardware drivers are not ones recognised by ProSim, but ones I wrote myself. I assumed ProSim used SimConnect for most of its interaction with FS. From the sound of it you won't have any difference whether you register FSUIPC5 or not. Maybe you need to ask more questions in the ProSim Forums? Pete

Sorry, there was no offense taken. I would just like to save folks the time and trouble to post pictures which are provided in any case. My replies are not just for the poster -- I'm trying to help others help themselves. If the Forum were the only reference I'd understand the need for all these basic clarifications, but it isn't. Pete

Apparently they are dependent on someone or something in the USA, and they ot it's not awake yet. They apologise for the delay. Pete

Why post pictures here when you can see these in the FSUIPC5 documentation? Didn't you look at all? The ZIP file you downloaded includes a guide to installation, which tells you what documents are installed and where to find them. Then, within the first few pages of the User Guide, it shows you precisely the same picture as you posted first, above! (The Logging tab picture is of course shown in the Logging section). It would have been much easier for you just to look, wouldn't it, than go to the trouble of doing screen grabs etc? :-( Pete

Unfortunately it seems SimMarket aren't quite ready yet with their sales page. I thought I was late releasing FSUIPC5 on Thursday instead of Tuesday. I supplied Simarket details last weekend and apologised to them be being late with the program! I'm talking again with them now.

This IS the Support Forum! You are posting in it!!!! It's the starred thread within 3 or 4 threads of this thread!! [LATER] I've pinned it now so it's at the very top of the Forum. I'm sure you can manage to find your way there!

Mouse look is okya. Mouse macros are a totally different thing. see the documentation please. Pete

Why do you want to convert LINDA to 64 bit? Does it have modules (other than Lua plug-ins) which run inside P3Dv4? External processes can remain 32-bit. No! The external interface has to be the same. DWORDs are 32 bits, and the pointer is used only locally to the calling program so it doean't matter to FSUIPC. It is a pointer for the linked LIB (if this is used) to use to store the data when it is returned. It doesn't feature in the interchange. It would be a 64-bit pointer if you recompile the LIB to 64-bit for a 64-bit program. but why bother? Try my existing TraficLook and WeatherSet programs, which just use the standard FSUIPC SDK-provided data. There's no 64-bit version of the SDK. I don't think it is needed. There's no reason for most utilities to move to 64 bit. Pete

You can have FSUIPC installed in any number of sims-- FSUIPC3 in FS2004, FSUIPC4 in FSX, FSX-SE, P3Dv2, P3Dv4, and now FSUIPC5 in P3Dv4. Once installed, FSUIPC is just another part of the simulator. I don't know when SimMarket will be ready. Last I heard they said "tomorrow" (i.e Friday). Pete

NO! No need to uninstall anything! You just can't run two flight sims at the same time, that's all. Their idenntifying window names will clash. They probably won't run at the same time in any case, with one of them saying "another ... already running" or similar! This is nothing to do with FSUIPC. The sims are all sepaarate and you can swap between them as you wish, but by stopping one and starting another. Nothing related to FSUIPC. Pete

It just won't install in anything but P3Dv4, so you don't need to worry about "excluisveness"! Pete

FSUIPC5 is a 64-bit version for P3D4 only! You stay wilth FSUIPC4 on FSX-SE (4.967 just released today also). FSX-SE is a 32-bit program! Pete

Just copy it over and rename it FSUIPC5.INI. No version numbers to edit -- those are written by FSUIPC each time in any case, for information. Also copy any Macro files and Lua modules you use -- but remember, mouse macros aren't supported (yet). Hopefully they will one day -- dependent upon L-M. Pete

No conflict. P3D3 and P3D4 (and P3D1 and P3d2 and FSX and FSX-SE and FS2004 etc etc) are different products, entirely separate except that you can only run one of them at a time on one PC (due to Window name constraints). Pete

Do you think so? think about my situation: 600 scenery layers at last count (and the additions over the default are ONLY for Europe, as I fly no where else at present). If I need to re-order sceneries for some reason, like conflicts, or bleed throughs, or whatever, it is now much more complicated. Even just to elimiate some, maybe for a test or maybe to try a different version from another supplier, becomes more difficult. You have to try and find the things first, then work out how to disable what! I like things to be kept simple and self-contained. This new system, which is apparently applied to P3D3 too, is just too complex for my tastes. And what is worse intriduces even more Unicode and XML files, the latter being the most verbose and error prone format ever desgned. The files are far bigger than they need to be and one little error in the format anywhere renders it all useless. Maybe when my successor takes over the reins, as and when (and who), they will think differently. I'm rooted in the basic computing eras -- started as a test programmer on Leo III's back in 1963. For me even Windows is too complex, too far removed from the nitty-gritty or what computers are. ;-) Pete

ProSim drives some things directly. You'd need to check. Yes, you buy "WideFS7" to get the REgistration key to unlock WideFS. You download the WideFS7 pakage, or just the WideClient from the Download Links subforum for use on your client PCs. You only need FSUIPC on the P3D PC. Pete

In the Download Links subforum. It won't be on the Schiratti page until Mr. Schiratti decides to put it there. This Forum and it's subforums is really where all my things are provided. Pete

It isn't an 'update' but a new 64-bit version, for P3D4 only. And installation and use for application programs has always been free. You can download it, install it, read the documentation, but for User Facilities you have to purchase a key. Unfortunately the purchase page at SimMarket appears not to be ready yet, but i'm sure it won't be long ... If you don't already use WideFS then why now? If you do already use WideFS then you can register it with the same details in the 5.1 installer and continue using the WideClient you already have. Pryr

As I said, remind me if you see nothing here by the end of next week. Pete

It is very easy. Load the aircraft and select profile mode then the Profile name from the list. Easy. Not at present. Enhancements will have to wait. There are still a lot of things missing which need doing (see Announcements subforum). I'll be tied up with all that for some time. And I've still got support work to do, and a familty. One day I might even be able to fly myself! Remind me in a few weeks. Pete

YOU WERE IN THE WRONG FORUM! MAKE SURE YOU CHECK WHERE YOU ARE PSTING! You are clearly making a mistake then, or the date on your PC is wrong. why is the order many months old. Have you waited all this time? If not how have you lost your KEY file? didn't you back it up as instructed? Pete
