Yes, this is the way it should be. Button 8 on device 3 should veed the value "0" into the Lua file. I am attaching the FSUIPC.INI, the FSUIPC4.log and the Lua file and its log. I can't wrap my head around how this triggers 66416 and 65567.

I was able to isolate this, but I cannot figure out what triggers the event contrls 66416 and 65567. It happens as soon as I open mobiflight, Or is it this? 1008172 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=3, Btn=2, Pressed 1008110 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 66587 (0x0001041b), Param= 71231 (0x0001163f) ROTOR_BRAKE 1008110 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 66587 (0x0001041b), Param= 71232 (0x00011640) ROTOR_BRAKE 1008110 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 66587 (0x0001041b), Param= 71217 (0x00011631) ROTOR_BRAKE 1008110 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 66587 (0x0001041b), Param= 71218 (0x00011632) ROTOR_BRAKE 1008157 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 66818 (0x00010502), Param= -79 (0xffffffb1) STEERING_SET 1008172 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=3, Btn=2, Pressed 1008172 [Buttons.FSLabs A320X CFM - Austrian Airlines (OE-LBS)] 28=P3,2,CL6:V,20 1008172 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=3, Btn=8, Pressed 1008172 [Buttons.FSLabs A320X CFM - Austrian Airlines (OE-LBS)] 32=P3,8,CL7:V,0 1008172 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 66416 (0x00010370), Param= -1 (0xffffffff) PAN_VIEW 1008172 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 65567 (0x0001001f), Param= 0 (0x00000000) VIEW_MODE 1008391 FS Control Sent: Ctrl=66587, Param=71021 1008391 FS Control Sent: Ctrl=66587, Param=71024 1008391 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 66818 (0x00010502), Param= -79 (0xffffffb1) STEERING_SET

Hi John, I did everything that is mentioned above with an out of the box aircraft, and there still is no reversal of the throttle axis. best Holger FSUIPC4.zip

Thank you for replying. I am still on FSX and, consequently, on FSUIPC4. I have attached the log file. I have deleted my personal information. Best, shorthauler FSUIPC4.zip

Thank you for replying. I am still on FSX and, consequently, on FSUIPC4. I have attached the files which I think are relevant (please tell me if you need more). I have deleted my personal information. Best, shorthauler shorthauler.zip

After a reinstall I some of the buttons in my homebuilt cockpit (Mobiflight, FDUIPC buttons) are triggering an outside view of the aircraft as only the key "S" would do. Can you help me find out what is going on? Best regards, Shorthauler

Maybe this is a known issue, but I did not find anything using the search function: I am sending some axis to FSUIPC calibration. I would like to reverse them, but if I check the "reverse" box in the calibration tab, there is no effect. Best regards, shorthauler

Thank you. I have two virtual joysticks named "New" for the Arduino / Arcaze set-up, so I kept two, identifying them by the GUID. I still have a question regarding this section: [Buttons] PollInterval=25 ButtonRepeat=20,10 1=RC,6,K188,8 -{Key press: ,<key}- 2=RG,6,K113,8 -{Key press: F2}- 3=PC,4,K90,8 -{Key press: Z}- 4=PF,31,C65720,0 -{BRAKES_LEFT}- 5=PF,30,C65721,0 -{BRAKES_RIGHT}- 6=PG,4,K90,8 -{Key press: Z}- 7=RA,6,K113,8 -{Key press: F2}- RC is the Logitech Attack joystick "C" that I use for the sidestick, "comma" needs to be pressed to use the nosewheel steering. The key press "Z" (A/P engage/disengage) should also be on this joystick. The F2 key press should be on the other Logitech Attack (throttle, for reverse) anumerated by FSUIPC as "A". Should I delete lines 2 and 6 since there is no joystick "G"? Best regards, - shorthauler

I am using two Logitech Attack 3 (throttle, side stick), one BU836X for rudder and vJoy and "New" are virtual joystick buttons connected to a FCU unit via Mobiflight / Arduino + Arcaze. The Arduino + Arcaze need to be unplugged before I shut down the PC, otherwise it will "hang". It also does not boot with the Arduino plugged in. Also, I sometines need my frond USB ports for external HDDs. So I might indeed have connected devices while FSX was running, simply because I forgot to plug them back in before starting FSX. I will keep this in mind in the future. USB is not as simple as the marketing of this technology seems to suggest, I think.

Please find the files attached. The assignments are still working, but I had an unexpected trigger of reverse thrust which must have come from an unintended F2 press. Best Holger FSUIPC4 files.zip

Dear all, I have a certain number of joysticks that I sometimes need to unplug when I have to use the USB plugs for other purposes. When I replug them, they register again, so they show up more than once in FSUIPC. I am not so happy that also the joystick buttons register again and with different designators, What should I do, should I simply delete from FSUIPC.ini?

Hi John, I deleted the complete [Axes.A320] section, restarted FSX and assigned the Axes anew (profile specific, FSX, FSL A320). Unfortunately, at some point during the flight, I touched the throttle and then aileron went to maximum deflection and stuck there. In order to continue the flight, I went back into FSUIPC and checked the axis assignments. They all seemed to be ok. After the flight I found multiple axis again: [Axes.A320] RangeRepeatRate=10 0=0X,256,D,1,0,0,0 -{ DIRECT: Aileron }- 1=0Y,256,D,2,0,0,0 -{ DIRECT: Elevator }- 2=0Z,256,D,4,0,0,0 -{ DIRECT: Throttle }- 3=2X,256,D,1,0,0,0 -{ DIRECT: Aileron }- 4=2Y,256,D,2,0,0,0 -{ DIRECT: Elevator }- 5=5R,256,D,3,0,0,0 -{ DIRECT: Rudder }- Best - shorthauler FSUIPC4.ini

Thank you, it's FSX, FSUIPC 4.977. The aircraft is FSLABS A320. It's probably aircraft specific. But no problem working around all this with a lua script. In the beginning, I would have preferred the macro because I was not sure about the mouse positions, but with the little tool "MPos", it was quite easy. The easiest lua script I have ever written.

Update: I have solved my problem by writing a lua macro using the "mouse.move" command. To extract the mouse positions, I found this tool helpful: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpos/

Hi John, I am trying to create a mouse macro, but the green area does not appear. I tried to follow the example with the Beechcraft in the User Guide. What could I log and send you? Best -shorthauler

This is a zip with all the files in the modules folder that were changed during the last session where the error occurred. The controllers as per the FS controllers - settings menue are set to off. Best -shorthauler FSUIPC4 2024-01-17.zip

Hi John, sometimes, preferrably during take off, my joystick freezes with a maximum deflection sideways (aileron) although the (physical) joystick is centered. I then go into the FSUIPC menue, axis assignment, and only need to move the joystick to unstick it. Still, it has ruined a number of take offs. I cannot conjure this situation, but is there anything I can log and send to you, so you can have a look? I have made sure that no other joystick axis, for example from my separate throttle, interferes. Best regards, -shorthauler

What confused me was that the buttons did show up in "Game controller settings", but not in FSUIPC. I have no idead how this happened, but after I straightened out MobiFlight, everything was back to normal.

Hi John, I think I messed up something in MobiFlight. It's all working fine now. Best regards and my apologies, Holger

Let me add that the buttons do show up in "Game controller settings."

Hi John, I am using a home made Airbus FCU with MobiFlight, and MobiFlight converts my hardware inputs into vJoy signals. I then use these in FSUIPC to trigger Lua scripts. Unfortunately, after adding Stream Deck / PilotsDeck, FSUIPC does not recognize these MobiFlight / vJoy inputs anymore. Any idea what I could try? I already deleted the [JoyNames] section in FSUIPC.ini (Version 4.977), and they were automatically re-added with the next restart of FS, but it did not help. Best regards -shorthauler FSUIPC4.ini

I was afraid of this, thank you for confirming. Just in case someone who is looking for the same is coming across this thread: I have written a small macro for Stream Deck's Super Macro plugin that some might find helpful. Please note that it follows the German menue bar and the corresponding mnemonic underlined letters. {{KeyDown:LALT}}{{S}}{{M}}{{KeyUp:LALT}}{{pause:50}}{{KeyDown:DOWN}}{{KeyUp:DOWN}}{{pause:50}}{{KeyDown:DOWN}}{{KeyUp:DOWN}}{{pause:50}}{{KeyDown:DOWN}}{{KeyUp:DOWN}}{{pause:50}}{{KeyDown:DOWN}}{{KeyUp:DOWN}}{{pause:50}}{{KeyDown:DOWN}}{{KeyUp:DOWN}}{{pause:50}}{{KeyDown:DOWN}}{{KeyUp:DOWN}}{{pause:50}}{{KeyDown:RIGHT}}{{KeyUp:RIGHT}}{{pause:50}}{{KeyDown:RETURN}}{{KeyUp:RETURN}}

Dear all, is there a command to jump directly to the ai traffic view without cycling through other views? Best, - shorthauler

Dear John, Thank you very much for looking into this. I am attaching two log files: FSUIPC4_1.txt (starting with trike, cutting motor and then changing to FSL A320) and FSUIPC4_2.txt (starting right away from c&d). The offsets monitored are 54B6 (EFIS value) 66D2 (EFIS state) 54BC (LED FD) 54BD (LED LS) The files are too large, so I have uploaded them to Wetransfer: https://we.tl/t-Iaf3id4Lmh Best regards, Holger

I have a small home-made Airbus FCU that I am using on the FSLabs A320 in FSX. If you want to start this plane from cold and dark, you have to first load the trike, cut the motor and then load the FS Bus. This leads to some offsets behaving erratically (not sending data or sending wrong data). This is not a case when I save a cold and dark flight, exit FSX, restart and then directly load the cold and dark flight. Is there any explanation? It seems to me that by starting the trike, some offset processes might be started and they might still be running, even though a new plane has been loaded. I wonder whether it mey help to clear all offsets and how this could be done. Best regards - shorthauler
