  1. Thank you all for responding to my post, it's really much appreciated. Thank you Paul for coming up with the solution and confirmed by Peter. It's working just as required and now I can move on to the next problem :-) Cheers Paul
  2. Thanks for that Paul. I tried your suggestions and the results were the same. There seems to be an anomaly with the operation of the flaps which seems to be at the root of the issue. As I described in my post above, after setting the flaps manually the code (whichever version) operates as required if it is the first flight after starting FSX. Any subsequent flights and the flaps don't retract if they have been set manually. As a test, I set up two buttons to set and retract the flaps with the code: The results of testing with the buttons: After starting FSX: I set the flaps manually and click on the flaps up button and the flaps retract. I set the flaps manually again, click on the flaps up button and the flaps don't retract. With the flaps still set down, I click on the flaps down button, then clicking on the flaps up button the flaps retract. This behaviour is mirrored when the program runs, for the first flight OK but subsequent flights only work if the flaps are set with the button before takeoff and not manually. For what it's worth the landing gear operation works every time. At the moment I'm experimenting with the above code using a modified version of your FSUIPCClientExample_VB and the above code is in the Sub Timer1_Tick. Cheers Paul
  3. I've got a problem that someone might be able to help me resolve. I'm trying to get the flaps to retract after takeoff and the code works .......... sort of. I have a test flight set up for repetition testing. Starting FSX and running the test flight for the first time, I set the flaps manually for T/O, and after takeoff the flaps retract as required by the program. However on subsequent flights I set the flaps manually and after takeoff, whilst the flaps.value is set to 0, the flaps fail to retract on the aircraft. I setup a test button to set the flaps programatically and after setting the flaps in this way they are retracted each and every flight as required. Any thoughts?
  4. G'day Pete I've just popped over here from the 'It's Your Plane' Forum where Jason has put a link to this topic. Just like to second these comments by n4gix. Pete............you are a champion, mate.
  5. Hi Pete Sorry for not checking the currency of my FSUIPC.dll, I just presumed I had the latest version installed. I know I updated it last year sometime. I'm wondering if I installed some 3rd Party aircraft that replaced FSUIPC.dll with an older version.:unsure: Anyhow it doesn't matter, I have just updated to version 3.9.8.0 and it is displaying properly and functioning as needed :smile: I tend to think that the display problem was an aberration in Windows because I know FSUIPC was displaying correctly a couple of months ago because I set up a number of switch functions on some new hardware. I keep a backup of my system for every day for the last 3 months and I checked the version I was using when I last configured FSUIPC and it was the older version. Cheers Paul
  6. Hi Pete This hasn't happened previously, but today when I went to configure a few key presses in FS2004 - FSUIPC version 3.9.1.5 the module screen display was clipped on the right hand side making it impossible to use........see image : http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu202/pbayley/fsuipc.jpg Any ideas as to what is causing this?
