  1. AFR.Friendly and FSUIPC not registered

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    Peter, Peter, I know I am a septuagenarium and have been for some years but I am not ready yet to go and fly a kite just yet. The first grab is after running P3D just once from the exe file shown in the second grab. What I think has happened is that somehow I have managed to get a second file extension on the two files concerned. ie: "D3D.exe.exe"

     

    Don't get too grumpy Pete 'cause you have a lot of years left to get very grumpy and I know all about that. I will leave you my wheel chair when I go. LOL

     

    Cheers, Mac

  3. Using FSUIPC with P3D v2.2 in SLI

    in FAQ

    Posted

    Make sure you are running FSUIPC v 4.931 or later.

     

    First run P3D in SLI mode and confirm that FSUIPC is NOT registered. This will create two files FSUIPC4.AFR-FriendlyD3D.ini.and FSUIPC4.AFR-FriendlyD3D.log.

     

    Go to ../Locheed Martin/Prepar3D v2/Modules/and confirm the two files have been created. Now copy and paste the file FSUIPC4.key.

     

    Finally change the name of the new/pasted file to FSUIPC4.AFR-FriendlyD3D.key.

     

    Thats it. Start the sim in SLI and you should be good to fly.

     

    Many thanks for this, Pete.

  5. Problem registering 4.931

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    G'day Pete,

     

    I have tried several times to install and register 4.931. Each time the registration appears to fail. My next move is to try purchasing a new License but thought I had better check with you first.

     

    I only have P3D v1.4 on my G:/ drive and P3D v2.2 on my E:/ drive. The issue first appeared after I installed the "Black Box" edition of the Airbus into P3D v2.2.

     

    I also perhaps should have said that I am running P3D v2.2 from an LM hack "AFR-FriendlyD3D.exe" file in order to enable SLI.

     

    Cheers,

    Mac

     

    EDIT:  When I run P3D v2.2 from the "Prepar3D.exe" file FSUIPC 4.391 is showing as registered. So it looks as though LM have tricked us again. Currently SLI and FSUIPC do not seem to be compatible.

  8. P3D2 and FSUIPC

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    A little more info for Pete when he returns: When I load P3D1 my SPAD setup screen shows in the bottom left hand corner "FSUIPC Status Connected" but in P3D2 the SPAD setup screen shows "FSUIPC Status Disconnected".

     

    As others have indicated if I copy the dll.xml filew into "\App Data\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2\dll.xml" Prepar3D V2.0 will not start. Prepar3D V1.4 is working fine on a seperate drive.

     

    Cheers, Mac

  13. Axis setting problem

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    Last things first, Pete. I have double checked everything and all settings both through the P3D interface and the FSX interface are identical. I double checked this with P3D v1.3 as well and in that case the two sims responded identically to the quadrant. Having acheived that result I have basically used FSX as the template settings for P3D. This worked fine in v1.3. The fact that you have established the fault does not lie with my .ini file is good news.

    Unfortunately I am not brave enough to do a P3D install because if the fault vanishes I shall die wondering. Not my style at all. LOL

    What I will do however is retrack everything I have done since the upgrade and report back tomorrow. I can't thank you enough for your patience, Pete. We oldies greatly value that. I will report back.

    Cheers, Mac

  14. Axis setting problem

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Actually Pete, I think I sent you an .ini at my friends suggestion that he had modified for me. My origional .ini does not have an [Axes] section which I noiw realise makes a lot more sense, at least to me. I think Terry added that section in an attempt to over come my problem.

    I have now returned to the origional .ini which does not have an Axes section and rebooted P3D. This has returned me to the origional situation where the quadrant lever only initiates the flaps from position two to three. To clarify, presume full travel from 0 degrees to 90 degrees. I can only move the flaps between 30 degrees and 60 degrees and back.

    This applies with all aircraft in the P3D sim. The FSX sim is fine. I have exactly the same .ini file installed in both sims. This is why I was quite happy to accept the "P3D bug" theory.

    Cheers, Mac

    OK Pete that part I can understand. All I have done in the past, without problems is to go into FSX and/or P3D and assign the Axis that way. I have never used your GUI ( Add-ons --> FSUIPC) to set the Axis nor have I looked at the Axis Assignment window after setting the controls through the Sim interface. But I am leaqrning and that part I enjoy very much, even at my age. You just have to forgive or at least ignore a few "seniors moments". LOL

    Thanks Pete. Much of this is way over my head. They were still building aircraft out of canvas and timber when I was born. Fortunately I know a disciple of yours whom I am sure will understand this much better. I will pass your post to him and beg his assistance. I have tried and failed to follow the ducumentation so far, but between us I am sure we will sort this. Thanks again. Mac

  22. Axis setting problem

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    A rare chance to post and say thank you Pete for FSUIPC. My first little problem in over three happy years of using. I have 4.827 installed for FSX and P3D. My Flaps Axis is working OK in FSX but in P3D the flaps will only move between positions 2 and 3.

    I have compared .ini files and Axis Assignment settings and they seem to be the same. It was working OK in P3D Ver 1.3 and this error has only appreaed since I did a fresh install of P3D 1.4 and reinstalled FSUIPC. Help please.

  24. FSUIPC with FSX and P3D

    Pete, those are the paths of the FSUIPC 'ini' files according to Win 7 Search. I have now deleted my "backup" copy of FSX from the G:\ drive. So there is an FSX installation on C:\ and P3G installation on G:\

    Ther are FSUIPC.ini files (one only in each) at

    C:\ Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Modules AND

    G:\ Program Files (x86)Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D\Modules

    Thanks Pete. A little clarification.

    I have managed to wind up with three 'ini' files. The FSX installation is on drive C\: and the P3D installation on G:\ The paths of the three 'ini'

    C:\ Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X

    G:\ Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X

    G:\ Program Files (x86)\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D

    It seems as though my problem is the second entry or the second FSX 'ini' file on the G\ drive?
