[FSUIPC & P3D v2]

Dear Pete!

 

I have installed P3d v2 and the lates version of FSUPC (4928 shown in the FSUPIC4.FSX config file)

 

On my System there is no FSX installed but i have a Migration Tool that can enable a virtual FSX

 

 

Unfortunately, when i start P3D after a while i get a "Fatal Error" message and P3D closes.

 

When i remove FSUIPC from the Modules folder it is working well.

 

I have tried to install FSUIPC again, with the virtual FSX and without

I tried the loader DLL and without

 

nothing working. If i use FSUIPC my P3D will crash.

 

 

One curious thing: On your site there is shown: FSUIPC4 4.927a to download but i get 4928. Is that ok?

 

 

any ideas?

 

 

 

With kind regards

Sorry, I'm not sure I know what you mean. "aims the FS is running and Battery is on"?

What is it that you expect WideFS to do without talking to FS? Do you mean to have a sort of test program for your hardware? How is it connected? Is it a normal joystick type connection with buttons you program in FS, or is it a special device with a serial COM or USB link to the PC?

COM and HID devices can be read and written to by Lua plug-ins, and WideClient supports almost all of the same Lua library facilities as FSUIPC. To have WideClient load and run a Lua program before FS is connected it has to be saved in the same folder as WideClient with the name "Initial.Lua".

WideClient Lua doesn't support the Joystick buttons testing facilities which are present in the FSUIPC Lua library. This is because those facilities are oriented around the assigned joystick numbers used in FSUIPC, of which WideClient is not aware. So if your hardware is based around a normal joystick connection you'd need to deal with them as for other HID hardware, using the HID comms facilities in the COM library. The same would apply to axes.

If your hardware is based on Keyboard encoders, then, again, they are HID devices and can be treated through the HID aspects of the COM library.

Hallo Pete!

The hardware i am testing is a old FDS G1 board.

I try to use it to install a dummy Cabin Altitude and Landing Altitude indication for my 737 overhead.

I have successfully installed the FDS G1 to a computer and it is working well. The problem is that when WideFS is not sending a FS running and Battery on information, my hardware wont light up too.

So i would like to tweak the WideFS in a way that it is sending a steady information that the FS is runing and battery is on.

Sounds a bit difficult but i dont want to buy extra expensive hardware for my overhead to aim this indication.

I just need to tell PM Software via WideFS that the FS is running and Battery is on. Even the computer is not in a network and connected to the FS PC,i could use the hardware.

I hope i could have explaned it well, sorry for my poor english

Kind regards

Hallo to everyone!

Dear Peter Dowson!

I just have a question belonging to WideFS.

Right now i am testing some hardware running on a WideFS computer. I was wondering if it is possible to tweak the WideFS Client in a way that it aims the FS is running and Battery is on?

The test of the hardware takes a while and right now i need to have my FS always running on a different computer to see if the hardware switches on.

It would be great to tweak my WideFS client in a way that i dont have to run my FS computer.

Is that possible?

Thank you for your help

Kind regards

Thanks again....really appreciated it. I will try to investigate that problem and try to get some support from PM.

Best regards

[FSUIPC 3.98 power issue]

Thank you for your fast reply.

I was just curious that the digits of the PM MCP are still blank untill the time i start FS9.

And when i start FS9 and open a flight with a dark cockpit suddenly the PM MCP starts to show values too...!!!

It was just that i thought that when starting FS9 FSUIPC is sending some information that indicates PM MCP to start too ...

anyways, i will try to contact PM support too...

Thanks....really appreciated it much

[FSUIPC 3.98 power issue]

Hallo to all! I have a small problem with the power setting and FSUIPC 3.98.

I am using FS9.1 and FSUIPC 3.98. Beside i am running Projectmagenta GC and MCP connected to a CPFlight hardware MCP.

My problem now is following: Even i have a dark and cold Cockpit at FS9, my PM and hardware MCP show some default values.

First i thought that maybe there are some wrong settings at PM but now i found out that when i start the PM MCP all the Values on the MCP are blank.

Once i start FS the digits on the PM MCP light up even the FS cockpit is cold and battery and avionics switches are off.

So i guess that maybe FSUIPC is sending a wrong information or maybe i forgot to change a value.

It is just annoying that my Homecockpit is dark and cold and the hardware mcp is showing dafault values even the battery master switch on the overhead is set to off.

Can anyone help?

thnx in advance

[FS9 + FSUIPC + Windows 7]

Hallo everyone!

I am sorry if i might ask a very common question again but i searched this forum for a while now and i am still confused.

I would like to ask if the combination of FS9 + the latest FSUIPC + Windows 7 (32bit) is working?

Do i need a special setup or are there some restrictions?

Many thanks for your kind support
