  1. Problem with XP 64

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    I had been using the registered version of FSUIPC 4.5 without problems in FSX, running Win XP 32; now I installed the XP 64 bits version in dual boot mode, and the unregistered version shows with the registering box greyed out and a legend about using right click to load FS as administrator.- I have no other user than administrator, I tried with the right click and only administrator is checked, also I unchecked the box about protecting the programs from unauthorized changes, also in the compatibility box there is an option about letting other users to access the program, which I checked, but the problem remains.-

    I have no problems when running FSX in XP 32.-

    Want a solution because I am accustomed to use FSX with controls managed by FSUIPC.-

    Thanks

  2. Issue with Capt Sim B757 Autopilot

    [quote="Pete Dowson "What makes no sense is that Captain Sim apparently don't know anything about it and no one except your good self has come forward with such a conclusion.

    Pete

    That is not so, I am quite convinced that Capt Sim is well aware about the problem, as It had been mentioned no only by me, but by several other customers in its own forum.-

    I sent a ticket to support which was apparently accepted.-

  3. Issue with Capt Sim B757 Autopilot

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    I am using FSUIPC to manage my controls and I am very happy with it.- All what I said applies to my case, so I dont know what happens with people who dont use FSUIPC.-

    As I said in my first post, the problem is definitely an incompatibility between the CS B757 and the latest versions of FSUIPC.-

    As I had saved all FSUIPC 4 versions, I made trials with all of them with same settings, the result was that V 4.323 is the latest with which I had no problems.-

    I dont know if that makes sense, but is absolutely real.-

    One thing is to write in FS forums DO NOT BUY Captain SIM B757, if you expect to work with FSUIPC !

    Well, I really cannot imagine what it is which you and Soldano have set in FSUIPC which causes any problems. By default, with no assignments, no calibrations, no settings, FSUIPC does nothing -- the same as if you had not registered it. It really then cannot possibly interfere. There is really bound to be some setting or assignment which is causing an incompatibility, but with no information to go on there is nothing I can do to help.

    Re-reading the earlier reports here it looks as if Soldano is saying that the aircraft actually USES FSUIPC for something -- if so then how do you fly it without? There is almost nothing in this thread which makes any sense. Maybe someone, someday, perhaps, will actually come here with something more definite.

    Regards

  4. Trim problem with LD B767

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    Thanks Pete

    I discovered the cause.-

    It happened that the assignments and settings for the B767 were copied in fsuipc.ini from the B737 as I always do for new similar aircrafts in order to save time and efforts, but in this special case it caused the trim problem.- I found that making new specific B767 settings and callibrations fixed the problem and now the trim works OK.-

  6. Issue with Capt Sim B757 Autopilot

    There is a known issue with Capt Sim FSX B757.- It happens that after disconnecting tha AP, is imposible to regain manual control until 10 or 20 seconds later, which is rather annoying.- The cause has been determined as an incompatibity with FSUIPC, and in the forums, the recomandation is to go back to version 4.3.- I made some trials, and noticed that the most recent version free of the problem is 4.323, in newer versions I found the problem.-

    Is there a workaround ?

    Thanks

  7. Trim problem with LD B767

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    I am using FSX with controls disabled and FSUIPC V4.413 controlling my CH yoke, pedals and quadrant and have no problems at all with the aircrafts in use.-

    I recently acquired the FSX version of Level D B767 and everything works OK except the trim: when hitting trim up there is no response, when hitting trim down, suddenly pitches down, it happens either using the keypad or the programmed button.- I am sure it is a FSUIPC incompatibility issue because I made the following trials:

    Enable FSX controls: the problem continues

    Enable FSX controls and disable FSUIPC by deleting the .dll: the trim works normally.-

    I tried with FSUIPC V4.408 and V4.50 with no results .-

    Level D support only says what I already know, that is a FSUIPC related problem and I should delete FSUIPC.ini and let the program create a new one, which I did without results

    Is there a workaround ?

    thanks

  8. Fsuipc V 4.40 Complete

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    I have all my joysticks controlled by Fsuipc and very satisfied with that. (CH joke, pedals and quadrant).- I have been upgrading Fsuipc with all the new *.dll that appeared without problems.- Now I see there is a complete new version 4.40 and a 4.408 dll update, I want to install them by am afraid it may change my assigments and calibrations.- Is there a risk of that ?

    Strangely, my fsuipc.dll actual version is already 4.40, although as I said before I didnt install yet the complete version.-

    Thanks

  13. Calibrating in Windows or CH Manager

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    I installed the CH Control Manager, and used it only for calibrating the controls, the result was a mess in my FSUIPC settings

    I have no idea how any separate program can make a mess of FSUIPC settings.

    I have no idea either, but it happened, I found all the axes changed

    I had to reset all from scratch, which was very dificult and imposible in certain cases ...

    It is never impossible to reset anything in FSUIPC -- if you want to reset everything to default simply delete the FSUIPC INI file. Everything you do is recorded in there. Or find the Axes or JoystickCalibration sections in that file and delete just those. It really couldn't be easier!

    I know I could do it, but I preferred to delete all axis for various aircraft and configure them again

    ... due to some strange behaviours.- I.e, I couldnt assign the Lear as aircraft specific as each time I opened the FSUIPC screen, the box appeared unchecked

    What box? "aircraft specific"? That has to be checked by you, not FSUIPC!

    I refered to the "aircraft specific" box, which of course should be checked by me, it happened only with the Learjet, as everytime I opened the FSUIPC screen, found it unchecked, not with other aircraft also configured as aircraft specific.-

    other aircraft specific controls need constantly to be recalibrated, some axes couldnt be assigned, etc etc

    I really cannot imagine how you got into such a mess. There's nothing magic or clever about any of that in FSUIPC. It just does what you ask -- it sounds like you were misunderstanding some of the indicatiions.

    I misunderstood nothing, I proceed exactly as I succesfully did before installing that bloody Control Manager, and as I did after uninstalling it.-

    It confirms what was said in other threads about some incompatibility between the CH Control Manager and FSUIPC

    If the CH control manager is assigning FS controls, then you cannot assign them also in FSUIPC, though you should be able to calibrate any axes assigned to FS controls by any program. The axis assignments in FSUIPC are simply done by those axes which FSUIPC can see changing. The only way they cannot be assigned is if FSUIPC cannot see them changing. In FSUIPC3 that could only be because the CH Manager does not support the standard Windows "joystick" interface. In FSUIPC4 is seems more unlikely as it would mean it doesn't support the "DirectInput" interface.

    I dont know how the CH manager works, I didnt even opened it, the only thing I did was calibrating my Yoke, pedals and quadrant in the new Windows screen modified by CHCM.-

    Regards

  14. Calibrating in Windows or CH Manager

    I installed the CH Control Manager, and used it only for calibrating the controls, the result was a mess in my FSUIPC settings, I had to reset all from scratch, which was very dificult and imposible in certain cases due to some strange behaviours.- I.e, I couldnt assign the Lear as aircraft specific as each time I opened the FSUIPC screen, the box appeared unchecked, other aircraft specific controls need constantly to be recalibrated, some axes couldnt be assigned, etc etc.- So I uninstalled the CM and replaced the FUIPC.ini with the previous one I had fortunately backuped, and now every thing is OK.-

    It confirms what was said in other threads about some incompatibility between the CH Control Manager and FSUIPC.- It is a pity because the CM provides a better calibration facility for the CH USB controls than Windows.-

  15. Calibrating in Windows or CH Manager

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    I am using CH Yoke, Pedals and Quadrant.- In FSX I disabled the controls and FSUIPC is in control of all axes.- I think that the joysticks must be primarily be calibrated in Windows, but I noticed that the calibrating facility is not adequate for some axis, (i.e toe brakes and the left pair or levers of the quadrant) and my question is: Is it convenient to install the CH Control Manager and use it only for the calibrating routine instead of the Windows XP facility ?.-

    Thanks

  18. Elemental question

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    Thanks for your quick reply, and 2 more questions:

    Those addons which interfere with FS controls, are only panel related, or maybe also some aircraft with advanced panel management.- ?

    When controls are disabled in FS, is it necesary also to delete posible redundant axes assigned in it , or in that situation they dont interfere with FSUIPC ?.-

    Regards

  24. Panning view in virtual cockpit

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    Just wondering if you've had a chance to give this any thought.

    I thought you said you were going to keep your eyes open? I released the update (4.301) with the relevant changes a week ago, on the 31st July! Your eyes don't go through the relevant Announcements it seems -- in this case FSX Downloads?

    Regards

    Pete

    Cannot find V4.301 in www.schiratti.com/dowson, neither in flightsim.com, where is it ?-
