  1. Love it.... was it 11 years already.... (now thats Homework) Couldn't flightsim without your (FSUIPC) efforts. Gordon p.s. Log File to follow.
  2. Laughter !!! Okay... I forgot to say it was in response to some wayward posts you received in this thread. Grovelling apology for not including a log file. And ( Oh my God) my versiopn of FSUIPC is out of date. Gordon
  3. Hang in there Pete.... Your efforts ARE appreciated here. Being of similar age I understand your frustration with the Ipad mobile generation who think a fast response is better than a considered and complete response which reflects that they have done their HOMEWORK. Have you slapped me down the past... Yes Was (relevant) post from me incomplete and inaccurate..... Yes. Did I deserve to be Pulled Up.... Yes You are a talented programmer with the attributes to match. With thanks Gordon
  4. Found it. It seems that the combination of Win7, fsuipc4 and RealityXP is not a good one. Win7 and fsuipc4 (both 4.40 and 4.52) work okay and buttons can be configured. Add RealityXP (GPS programme) then fsuipc4 configuration module, particularly when configuring buttons, gets stuffed as described above. Both FSX, fsuipc4 and RealityXP do, however, work normally when not in fsuipc configuration mode, which is why I hadn't twigged the conflict earlier (on the original win7 install) as I had no need to change the cockpit layout subsequent to installing RealityXP. RealityXP does something to Win7 at system level. Installing it is virtually a one way action. Un-installing RealityXP and un-install/re-installing fsuipc4 or FSX makes no change to the problem. I have no idea where to look to undo the system change. Fortunately the work around seems to be; configure all items in fsuipc before going near RealityXP. I haven't tried editing the fsuipc4 ini file but I am guessing that could be possible too. For clarification purposes the RealityXP programme in question here is the stand alone add-on gps programme. Not the versions integrated into payware aircraft, whether they are also affected I have no data to advise on. Gordon
  5. Hello Mr Dowson..... thank you for the response. Firstly the Win7 version I installed is 64bit build 7100 FSUIPC4 versions used 4.4 (14.11.09) and the latest one dated 09.06.09 I tried to produce a log of the buttons but it seems that it is not recorded when I crash out of FSX. The console log does show the button presses... and continues to log new button presses even when the program has frozen..... It doesn't record any faults. Using fsuipc4 today, I found that the button selection and assignment worked fine for about a minute or so, then scrolling through the list of assignments got jerkier and slower and then all response to the keyboard or mouse within the fsuipc window stopped. The computer continues to work normally, and as said earlier the logging console contines to record normally new key presses. Your comments about a rogue joystick driver are interesting, I have a usb hub which I am suspicious of. Since the win7 computer is not mission critical rather hunt around for old drivers I will wipe it and reinstall being careful to test step by step and not use the usb hub. Many thanks for your help Regards Gordon Herewith the info requested.... half of the button log was when the programme was in a frozen state.

  6. Hello, For some months I have been using Win7 RC1 and my cockpit setup via fsuipc4. Results were excellent. Following a disc failure I have re-installed Win 7 and now there are problems. Installation and program operation are fine until the tab for button configuration is selected and then at varying time spans the program and FSX freezes/goes so slowly as to be uncontrollable. Ctrl/Alt/Del and kill fsx in the task manager is the only way out. I have tried; Clean install of win7 clean install of fsx directory (C:\fsx) Switched off UAC Run as administrator Switched off themes Disconnected all usb devices save for keyboard and mouse. Installed the latest version of fsuipc4 Fsuipc4 even freezes with no joysticks/usb adaptors connected, but only when the tab for button configuration is entered and after a minute or so... can vary to five minutes and after the assignment of functions to several buttons. Since it used to work well I can only think than Win7 has been changed in some way, or there is something like a memory leakage that has appeared on my machine. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to do next? Thanks & regards Gordon
