  1. Hi Pete, I'm not sure if it happens with the latest versions (k,n...) only, but whenever I tick to open the consol window, next time it will come up again, regardless if it was unticked in the Logging tab. It seems the only way to circumvent this is to also change something else in the FSUIPC UI (a calibration value or whatever) and then no more consol window comes up at startup. But if I only untick the consol window, it will always start up again and again. regards Achoriham
  2. Hi Pete, Many thanks for your advice. It just works as it should. Grateful... regards Achoriham
  3. Many thanks for the advice! Will try it ASAP. Achoriham
  4. Hi, I've just aadded a second (right) Tiller to my cockpit. I know and remember how cleverly FSUIPC combines the rudder and tiller. But now (as we only have one possibility to add the tiller as 'direct' in FSUIPC) how can I add the second tiller? Thanks in advance Achoriham
  5. Hi Pete, I clearly recall that some months or even more than a year ago you have stated that in "normal cases" there's no need to start FSUIPC via the FSUIPC4_Loader.dll. The last couple of install versions always place the FSUIPC4_Loader.dll entry into the dll.xml file. Is it necessary or has something changed in this regard? regards Achoriham
  6. Hi Pete, Many thanks. Just wanted to produce the log files, but it seems version 'e' simply solves the problem, so won't proceed with logs. Everything is fine now. I'm grateful. regards Achoriham
  7. Hi Pete, Sorry for the trouble... Today I updated FSUIPC to the 4938d version and when I started P3D, it quit with an unknown error, right before the scenery loading stripe would have been complete. Tried it another 3-4 times - the same result. The sim crashes always right before being 100% up. Then I removed all entries from FSUIPC.ini by which I start other programs: same result. One by one removed the entries from the dll.xml file, the last one was FSUIPC, I left the entry there.. The problem stayed util I also removed FSUIPC. Then P3D was able to start without any error. Thus it became almost obvious that somehow FSUIPC was the culprit. I returned to FSUIPC4938c and there was no prolem whatsoever. Returned to FSUIPC4938b - same result, evrything was fine. Tried 4938d again - P3D wouldn't start again. What could the problem be? regards Achoriham
  8. Hi Pete, Many thanks for your answer. In your explanation I just got from you what I wanted. Happy Xmas Achoriham
  9. Hi, Perhaps a very basic question but unfortunately I don't find the solution... What would be the right FSUIPC offset for altitude (AGL) but corrected with the actual QNH? I mean, say the A/C flies at 10000 ft but that would be corrected for the present QNH? I tried 0x0574 but it seems to be not corrected for QNH. thanks in advance regards Achoriham
  10. Hi Pete, I tried it and it seems to be working without problems. I tried before asking of course, but wasn't sure if it was "official". best regards Achoriham
  11. Hi Pete, My humble question is so short and simple that I ask it here: Do you support compiled Lua scrips compiled by luac.exe? regards Achoriham
  12. Hi Pete, Wilco. Many thanks for your help! gratefully Achoriham
  13. Hi Pete, I meant after FS is ready to fly, just the wording was bad, sorry. I will just do that, thanks! I ran it as ipcready.lua. But you are right and nothing happens, because the function is unnecessary. Originally I wanted to have a function that do this approx. 1-2 minutes after FS is ready to fly, that's why I - wrongly - thought the ipc.elapsedtime() could be used for that. Didn't want to use the timer function for this, because it would have done it more than once. Thanks again. regards Achoriham
  14. Hi Pete, A few hardware switches in my pit do not auto align with the actual positions as far as the offsets go, so I want to set them to match the hardware position right after FSX started. Is this one better? function Anything() ipc.sleep(120000) ipc.setbitsUB(0x56BD, 192) -- switches end best regards Achoriham
  15. Hi Pete, My fault, as I just wanted to be short here. I also tried: if (inittime > 50000) and (inittime < 70000) then but it was also not working. But better not to be too boring with my silly idea, the thing I want to do is to set a couple of bits xxx.seconds after FS has started. Only once, when FS is ready to fly and all other stuff I need is loaded on the different machines. Oups, you are right. Many thanks! regards Achoriham
  16. Hi Pete, Thanks for helping. I tried something like this: inittime = ipc.elapsedtime() if inittime == 100000 then ipc.setbitsUB(0x56BD, 64) ipc.setbitsUB(0x56BD, 128) end Nothing happens... best regards Achoriham
  17. Hi Pete, Of course the problem was that. Thanks very much! May I have a tiny other question... I wanted to have a Lua function to set a few variables right after FS is started. I tried to use the ipc.elapsedtime() value for that, but nothing happens. Is it actually possible to use it inside a function? regards Achoriham
  18. Hi Pete, I'm trying to start two programs on a slave PC. Since years I started them by widecliend's RunReadyx without any problem. The only thing never worked for me there was the OnTop switch, but after some experiments I realized that via Lua the Focus works just fine. So it would be easiest to start these two programs by lua and ext.run or ext.runif. Could you give just the possible simplest example of using these please? thanks in advance Achoriham
  19. Hi Pete, Now it makes perfect sense. I truly appreciate your help! best regards Achoriham
  20. Hi, I tried to look it up in the docs, but I do not find it specifically mentioned if the event.offset(0x5646, "UB", 2, "xxx") syntax can be used for Lua or not. I mean checking a specific bit in this case. The debugger doesn't give me an error if I use the format above. Is it allowed? Is the syntax right for the first bit in this case? thanks Achoriham
  21. Thanks! And thought I was regularly reading messages here... never saw it earlier. regards Achoriham
  22. Hi Pete, I use FSUIPC for ten years or so, but never ever came across with an error like this. Today and yesterday it happened to me every time I started up FSX. What could that be, any idea? regards Achoriham
  23. Hi Pete, Pity... would have been wonderful. Many thanks anyway! best regards Achoriham
  24. Hi Pete, This is just great. Grateful thanks! If i may ask: does it mean that these options will also work for FSUIPC's [Programs] section? best regards Achoriham
  25. Hi Pete, Many thanks! Would be a great thing if it is possible! I personally use FSUIPC4 exclusively. LOL! 'MIN' would just suffice and would sound international enough. Although here in India we are supposed to follow more of the English way, all my spell-checkers seem to be American... Sounds just great. many thanks in advance regards Achoriham
