  1. Hi Matthias, Did you try posting your question in the LINDA forums on avsim.com, maybe someone there can help. Helge
  2. I have mailed you the macro file. Just place it in your Modules directory. I do agree that its a bit exorbitant with that many macros, but I haven't been able to find another way to control the iFly, and it works (well... worked), so all was good. I have no idea why the iFly developers did it the way they did. There are different .gau files for each plane variant, and there are 7 variants, that's why I had 7*65 macros. The system's memory is not corrupted as I can run other stuff while in this situation, the meory system of the FS process might be though. When I click ok on the message box that pops up, then the FSX initial screen shows up, and when I click on that, FSX loads and shows the initial scenery and aircraft, then promptly crashes. Whether this is because FSUIPC is in a bad state at this point, or whether the FS process memory is corrupted I don't know. Helge
  3. Hi, yesterday after making some changes to my iFLy 737 setup for Linda, I started getting out of memory errors from FSUIPC. Here is the log: After some testing, I figured out that it was the number of mouse macros I have. There are 7 variants of the i737 and I had 65 macros per variant i.e. 455 macros. After clearing 6 macros from each variant I ended up with 413 macros, and that worked. Splitting the macros up in several files seemed to work too. So my questions are: What is the number of allowed macros in one file? Are there any limits on macros across more than one file? PS. Reason for having all the macros in one file is just not to clutter the Modules folder with more files than necessary. Regards, Helge
  4. Hi Guenseli, thank you very much for this, it's really appreciated! Helge
  5. Hi Pete, I reinstalled Ultimate Traffic 2, which I thought was the reason for the trouble, so I could do the tests you suggested, but I could not reproduce the problems I had this Sunday and earlier. I assume there isn't much point in doing the tests when I cannot reproduce the problem, right? A bit of investigation showed that I had gotten a new driver for my Saitek X65f this sunday via Windows Update. I am almost sure that it was this that fixed the problems about the missing shifts and ctrl's. Unfortunately, I haven't found any description of what is fixed with he new driver. I am not able to revert to the old driver to test if it really is the case, but it really sounds like something a buggy joystick driver could do. The problem concerning the mic switch that stayed on was probably because I turned the microphone level all the way to 100. It is now down at 50 and everything works like a dream! I think the ambient level was so high because of the sensitivity, that the mic never turned off. I will do some more testing the following days, but it seems like, and I hope, that the problem is solved. Anyway, thanks for all the help you have given. The knowledge I gained about FSUIPC and keycodes etc. will certainly help me in the future. Helge
  6. I will try the tests and post the results. It will take some days before I got time to do it. Another thing I could try was doing a reinstall and only install FSX, IYP, FSUIPC and Radar Contact and hopefully verify it works before installing more, but unless you think otherwise, I will just reinstall UT2 and do the tests you suggested. Helge
  7. Hi Pete, I have had a breakthrough, although I still got problems. It turned out that "Ultimate Traffic 2" and IYP doesn't like each other. I have now uninstalled Ultimate Traffic 2 and that helped immensely. The switch no longer blocks the CTRL and SHIFT keys, so I can now communicate with RC4 :) I have another problem now though: The microphone switch disables once in a while: Suddenly I no longer need to press the switch to communicate with IYP. If I say "Activate microphone switch" then it works again, but then it disables again later. I haven't found any system in when it turns itself off so far. I will have to experiment a bit more. I assume there can be (at least) two reasons for this: Either the switch in fact turns itself off, OR it "hangs", for instance by missing the key up code. Could you explain a message like this: 145206 KEYDOWN: VK=49, Waiting=0, Repeat=N, Shifts=0 It might help me debug the problem. I assume VK somehow identifies the key pressed. How do I see which key corresponds to 49? I won't bother you more with this, at least not until I have done a bit more testing myself:) Thanks for helping out so far! Helge Btw. regarding UT2: I hadn't installed the latest update. It might fix the problem, I just do not want to experiment with UT2 until I have gotten the rest of the system working so I uninstalled it.
  8. Hi Pete, I already posted the log plus a description of what keys, buttons and things I said to result in what's in the log. You can find it a bit earlier in the thread. Helge
  9. Hi again, I have had the same trouble understanding the two switches. Robert Cezaro would be the best to explain it as I still am a bit confused, but here is what I think they do: According to the IYP manual (p 162) PTT us used to speak to ATC (and hereby I think Robert means external ATC like VATSIM and VAIO). The microphone switch is used to speak internally to the co-pilot and inbuilt ATC. Here is how Robert explained it to me: So thats why I do not use the PTT facility (which can be activated with "Activate Push-To-Talk". I do not understand what you say about locking the Shift key? It is correct that the radar contact communication I do in the examples here do not use commands that contain the SHIFT keys, there are other commands that still contain the shift key though, such as "Repeast Last Instruction" that one still is "CTRL+SHIFT+/". My guess is that when the mic switch is on. then somethng blocks the CTRL and the SHIFT key (as can be seen since neither "SHIFT+1" nor "CONTROL+." works) and this is the reason for Radar Contact not working. Helge
  10. I did a scenario with logging enabled. Below is a description of what I did followed by the FSUIPC log of this: I reconfigured IYP a little bit: As I wasn't using Push to talk at all, I deactivated it. I also put a checkmark in Options next to the Microphone switch. so now it shows key field blank and activated. I put a checkmark at "Button and key operations in the FSUIPC logging tab . Then I stopped everything, deleted the FSUIPC log file and did the following procedure: Start fsx Start iyp (this time with Mic switch active) Start radar control Say "Turn right heading 123" and see it doesn't go through as it indeed shouldn't. Push switch and say "Turn right heading 124": Works Push switch and say "Select 2": Doesn't work Type "Ctrl+1" (should be radar control command 1): Doesn't work. Press brake button ".": Works Press Parking brake button "CTRL+.": Doesn't work, it behaves like "." Press Panel 1 button "Shift+1": Doesn't work Push switch and say "Deactivate Microphone switch": Disables the mic switch off, the checkmark in options goes away. Say "Turn right heading 125": Works say "Select 2": Works Press brake button ".": works Press Parking brake button "CTRL+.": Works Press Panel 1 button "Shift+1": Works Close FSX Here's the log: ********* FSUIPC4, Version 4.616 by Pete Dowson ********* Reading options from "D:\FSim\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Modules\FSUIPC4.ini" Trying to connect to SimConnect Acc/SP2 Oct07 ...

  11. Hi Pete, Thanks for answering. In this post I will answer the questions you have, and in the next I will post the log you asked for. I had PTT enabled in my experiment, but I don't use it. In the next log I have disabled PTT. The joystick button is configured to the Microphone switch. I used those too, but Robert Cezar asked me to try the alternate set. Thats why its currently set up to use those. I enabled the microphone switch with the voice command "Activate Microphone Switch", that should be the same as setting a checkmark in the options pannel for the Microphone switch. In my log below, I do as you suggest and enable the switch by setting the checkmark. No, there is no checkmark next to repeating. I am not using push to talk. In this scenario the microphone switch isnt enabled either yet. I do that below with "Activate Microphone Switch". Erwhy? You said you had a button for this. Why aren't you using it? And if the mike switch was off before this, how is IYP relating your "turn right" instruction as you just stated? Something is very mixed up here! "Activate Microphone switch" does not push the switch, it enables it. Before I did this, IYP reacted on all I said. After I said "Activate Microphone Switch" I will have to push the switch to be heard. Later I say "Deactivate Microphone switch" again to disable it, and after that I no longer have to push a switch to be heard. Well, I'm confused by your sequence in any case. Since I just had enabled the switch, I from now on have to push the switch to be heard. I did not push the switch when I said "Turn right heading 124", so I expected that not to work. I pushed the switch when saying "Turn right heading 125" so it should be heard, and indeed it was and it worked. I pushed the switch when saying "Select 1", so it should be heard. But nothing happened... The "Activate" and "Deactivate" sentences are exactly the same as setting and removing the checkmark in the Options dialog. I want to keep the switch on at all time, but when I do, radar contact doesn't work. I just disabled the switch to show that it works without it. If IYP is genuinely sending the correct keypress then nothing to do with microphone button actions is going to interfere. This is the problem I have. Oops, I meant "Steals" :) Shift comes into it because I can see from the examines below (trying to type "Shift 1" and trying to type in notepad) that the SHIFT key does not work when the Microphone key is enabled. I Started by using the Option checkmark, I just used the voice commands to try out different scenarios. To De-complicate (Is that a word?) the situation, I have now switched to having the mic switch checkmark on (see next post). I have uptraded to version 4.616 and will use that for the next test. I hope I have explained above how Shift comes into it. Shift is used in some Radar contact commands and in some FSX shorttcuts (like Show panle 1: "Shift 1"). No worries, enjoy the world cup :) Helge
  12. Hi, I am trying to use "Its Your Plane" (IYP) together with Radar Contact 4.3, FSUIPC and Flight Simulator X. When I do this, I get a very strange behaviour that I have tried to bugfix with Robert Cezar at IYP's forum (http://flightsimplaza.com/superatc/indeopic=580.0). Robert suggested that I posted here since you apparently also are using IYP, Radar pilot and ofcourse FSUIPC. I will try to describe this in a systematic matter so I do not leave anything out. SOrry for the long post :) The synopsis of the problem is: When I enable the Microphone switch in IYP, then I can no longer communicate with Radar Contact. Apparently CTRL and SHIFT no longer works. My setup: Hardware: Intel core i7-869 2.86 8 mb. 8GB ram, Geforce GTX285. Saitek X-65F controller. Software: Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (UAC disabled) Flight Simulator X SP1 + Acceleration (installed under D:\FSim, runs in compatibility mode and administrator) FSUIPC 4.6a registered IYP 4.1.0.192 Radar Contact 4.3.3845 I also have several FSX addons installed, but they are not used to reproduce the problem. Configuration: ================= I am listing what I believe are relevant settings for this problem. Let me know if you need to know more. Radar Contact: Radar Contact is configured as described in the IYP light deck manual page 26. For instance Menu selection 1 is Ctrl + 1, Menu selection command is Ctrl + 2. (IYP has been told to "Use Alternate R C Commands"). IYP: FSX views: Disabled. Hide Key: Disabled. SelCal: Enabled Process Priority: Disabled Funny Prompts: Disabled PopUps: Enabled Supress FX: Enabled It has been set up for "Radar Contact 4 ATC". In "Options", the Microsoft switch key assignment field is empty, and there is no checkmark in Active. The following entries have checkmarks in "Settings": Activate the System Extended Help Speech Bar Activate Quick Start Mode Command Confirmations Activate ACARS System Activate Push To Talk Supress Sound Effects FSUIPC: One key has been defined in Buttons+Switches: Joy# 0 2 Btn# Select for FS control checkmarked Control sent when button pressed: IYP Listen On Parameter 0 Control Sent when button released: IYP Listen Off Parameter 0 Everything else is unchecked or greyed out. Problem reproduction: Start FSX. Load default Cessna. Start IYP. Start Radar Contact. Load a flightplan that originates where the cessna is. First to show that the configuration works: "Turn right Heading 123" results in the heading bug being moved "Select 2" results in Radar contact playing ATIS message. Now for the problem: Turn microphone switch on: "Activate Microphone switch". "Turn right heading 124" doesn't work (as expected) Push switch and "Turn right heading 125" works. Push switch and "Select 1" does not do anything (this is the problem). The log in IYPLogs directory shows that IYP is trying to send the command to Radar contact: You said: select one 10:08:53 Michelle said: Sent 1 CONTROL to Radar Contact 10:08:53 "Disable Microphone switch" and both works again. "Enable Microphone switch" and again I cannot commucate with Radar contact. This is the problem I have. Further observations: It looks like the activated microphone switch steams CTRL and SHIFT. For instance: I cannot put on the parking brake when the switch is active (shortcut for it is "Ctrl+."), I only get the normal brake (shortcut "."). Nor can I display panel window 1 when the switch is active (Shortcut: SHIFT+1). And If I open notepad, then I cannot write uppercase letters using SHIFT when the switch is active, nor can I select all text in the document with Ctrl-A). I only can do this when the switch is deactivated. Note that these two observations are done without actually pressing the mic switch. Its just activated/enabled. Final observation: The problem is not 100 % reproducable. Some times it suddenly works, and I don't know wny. I would say that the above behaviour happens about 90 % of the time. Thanks in advance for any suggestions/help, Helge
