Great - glad this has finally been fixed!

I have released this now (7.4.10), and this will be the last update before the SU15 release.

Thanks very much!!!

[Hotkey issue]

4 hours ago, John Dowson said:

I think I may have found the issue... When the reconnect is started, the old connection wasn't being closed, and so some data was being received from the old connection, including the setting of various flags relating to the state of the connection, so the new connection wasn't being initialised correctly as the delayed response from the previous connection had confused things. I have corrected in the attached if people experiencing this issue can try it (especially @Cuantreau who is still pm 7.4.5). For those who have adjusted the DetectToConnectDelayAuto ini parameter to resolve their issue, you should remove this when testing this version, although probably better to add that back in afterwards (although shouldn't actually be needed/neccessary if this fix works, but still better to use this due to unrelated connection number issues).

Please attach a log file if you get the same issue - preferably with logging for Extras enabled.

Hi John, I tried this version you posted three different times in three different airports, msfs booted and closed and one pc reboot in between. Hotkeys worked each time, thank you so much for fixing now I'm able to use an FSUIPC version grater than 7.4.5.

[Hotkey issue]

Something must have been done from v7.4.5 to 7.4.9 because with 7.4.5 (the version I'm using because of hotkeys not working) this problem never happened, maybe John can look that through and regress that mods to make it work again, if this can be done at all.

[FSUIPC version 7.4.6 not working right]

Just an update, with latest v7.4.8, key assignments are working just as they did with 7.4.5., perfectly. Something with v.06, and v.07 where not right in regards of speed with recognizing keys assign.

[FSUIPC version 7.4.6 not working right]

Well, I couldn't reproduce it now, with or without FSUIPC opened. Who knows, no big issue though, thanks for the help as usual John.

[FSUIPC version 7.4.6 not working right]

like if you would take a picture with those old cameras that had flashes, all my screen goes a bit whitish for less than a second when transitioning from full screen to window mode using ALT ENTER. I will try exiting FSUIPC and let you know, thanks John.

No point if its working, but your logs show that you are still trying to control things before everything is ready:

You should really wait longer before trying to do anything.

 I don't think so....but, as I said, I need to see your files (generated when you have the issue) to diagnose. I have been testing 7.4.6 most of the day here and cannot find any issues....

I always run in DevMode and do not see this. Do you still have the same issue? FSUIPC is not involved in this at all, unless you assign alt+enter also in FSUIPC...

John

Hi John, as for flashing issue, yes still having it with latest version, but in devmode and within the Virtual cockpit (PMDG 737-800). Thanks

[FSUIPC version 7.4.6 not working right]

OK John, today I installed MSFS beta SU15 and re installed FSUIPC v7.4.6 and I should say everything is working as it should, starting FSUIPC automatically. I'll leave you the logs, but all's good now, don't have a clue what fixed it (the beta SU15 may be the answer). The flashing I was talking about only happens with MSFS in Devmode. Thanks a lot for helping out John.

[FSUIPC version 7.4.6 not working right]

Hi John, thanks for the quick reply. I've just re-installed 7.4.5 now and want to make a few flights today. The spinning circle started yesterday (or the day before) with a msfs forced update "Dune" something that I did not buy but when you exit the sim and restart the spinning circle and performance drop should go away (at least this happened to me and a few others that I read on avism)

I load FSUIPC from msfs EXE.xml file with this command:

<Launch.Addon>
    <Name>FSUIPC7</Name>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <Path>C:\FSUIPC7\FSUIPC7.exe</Path>
    <CommandLine>-auto</CommandLine>
  </Launch.Addon>

and have been doing it this way since I can remember with no issues.

I'm on MSFS SU14 (no beta) and FSUIPC 7.4.5 is working great. Will try logging buttons & keys and events tomorrow. Will let you know. Thanks a lot again for the support.

[FSUIPC version 7.4.6 not working right]

Hi John, since latest update 7.4.6 I have a couple of issues that did not happen prior to updating from 7.4.5.

First one is key assignments are not working anymore and last when pressing ALT ENTER to make msfs in full screen a weird flash appears for a second, this happens only with this new version. 7.4.5 was working wonderfully. Thanks for your support as always.

[added parameters in v7.3.21]

7 hours ago, John Dowson said:

Yes, you have to manually add this - the default is to show the splash screen, and there is no UI control to disable/enable this.
The splash screen is generally necessary as you do not know if FSUIPC has been started/is running without the splash screen, as it goes to the system tray once started. This confuses new users without the splash screen.

IMHO, I do not know why you would want to disable the splash - I only added as a user request - possibly yours...

John

roger that, thx

[added parameters in v7.3.21]

Hi John, just to let u know, I had to manually add the new parameters to the ini file as they where not added automatically. I've added ShowSplash=No and it works perfectly.

Can you please try the latest FSUIPC7 beta (which includes a WASM and WAPI update), v7.3.18c, with the SU12 beta, available with a full installer from here:

Any issues with the SU12beta can be reported here or in the Announcements post.

Thanks,

Hi John, is this only for SU12 beta? Thx

[Microstutter with MSFS SU12 beta]

Can you try the attached version with the following added to the [General] section of your FSUIPC7.ini file:
    Number Of Pumps=0

This should prevent all simvars from the new/modern fuel system from being requested, and so stop the console log messages: FSUIPC7.exe

Note that this is only a build to test to see if it is indeed these console messages that are causing the issue.

If you still get micro-stutters, please let me know if this is aircraft specific all for all aircraft (i.e. try various aircraft), and if aircraft specific please let me know what aircraft you are using.
Also, if you have changed the LvarUpdateFrequency in the FSUIPC_WASM.ini from its default of 6Hz, please change back to the default to see if that improves matters.

Thanks,

John

Hi John, just tried v7.3.1.8 and it's working well for me with the PMDG 737, no console fuel pump triggered anymore. Just on note, the Number of Pumps=0 only worked without the spaces for me. NumberOfPumps=0  Thanks very much for the quick fix

[Key Assignments not working anymore since SU11]

Hi John, well, today they started working, what the heck. Maybe a pc restart helped, who knows. Thanks a lot for your support.

[Key Assignments not working anymore since SU11]

Hi John, Asobo's SU11 might have broken something, no more key assignments for me.

[GSX (MSFS): disable Pilots and Crew Boarding animation]

On 8/22/2022 at 9:06 AM, adnanso said:

Hello everyone, 

 

If you like me, want to remove pilots and crew from the boarding process, GSX offers no direct way to do it, but the manual lists LVARS that can be used by third party devs to achieve the same goal, which means, it can be done through FSUIPC :

just add the following line to myevents.txt file in FSUIPC folder (create it if it doesn't exist):

FSDT_GSX_PAX_ONLY#1 (>L:FSDT_GSX_PILOTS_NOT_DEBOARDING) (SLEEP:100) 1 (>L:FSDT_GSX_CREW_NOT_DEBOARDING) (SLEEP:100) 1 (>L:FSDT_GSX_PILOTS_NOT_BOARDING) (SLEEP:100) 1 (>L:FSDT_GSX_CREW_NOT_BOARDING)

then start fsuipc and assign a button -or a key press- as follows :

now all you have to do is to press that button just before asking for boarding or deboarding and voilà! 

Thanks so much man, much needed workaround.

[MSFS PMDG 737 Parking Brake Still Not Working]

What have you tried? I don't see anything assigned to control the parking brake in the ini file you posted...

First, I suggest that you update the aircraft name in your profile to catch more liveries - change

to

The easiest way to control the parking brake on the PMDG 737 is to use the available presets (see https://hubhop.mobiflight.com/presets/) :

In FSUIPC7, select the 'Select for Preset' checkbox and you can assign to the inputs PMDG_B737-7_PARKING_BRAKE_ON and PMDG_B737-7_PARKING_BRAKE_OFF.

For further details on how to use the MobiFlight presets, please see the WASM section in the Advanced User guide.

For me, parking brake works well when brakes are configured within msfs and "PMDG_B737-7_PARKING_BRAKE_ON" is configured on my controller button the way you are explaining here , if they are configured through FSUIPC (send direct to fsuipc calibration) and calibrated, the parking brake only goes on, but it doesn't go off (release) by pressing both brakes fully like it should and like it worked with previous pmdg's version (the one that didn't have this realistic method of working with parking brakes.

Hi.  When you did this, did you need the .lua script too?  I can't get it to work.  Thanks.

Hi, I did not. Don't forget that after enabling WASM the way i explained, you have to close the sim, be sure FSUIPC closes too and run both again to get WASM enabled.

[FSUIPC7 autosave PMDG 737]

5 hours ago, John Dowson said:

Check your AutoSave settings (Options->AutoSave). Change the number of how many files to keep to 1 (it is probably using the default of 5).

John

Thanks John, yes, that was it, by default FSUIPC sets it to 10.

[FSUIPC7 autosave PMDG 737]

May I deviate a bit this post. In P3D version when I set to save via FSUIPC manually with a keyboard shortcut it saved me just one file (and overwrite it when pressing this shortcut letter again). In MSFS it doesn't overwrite as it did in p3d, it creates as many saved files when manually saving. Is there a way to make it to overwrite it so that i don't end with many files to delete when quitting msfs? Thank you in advance.

Awesome thank you so much! I was still on 7303.

By the way..Petes lua is working too if WASM is enabled 🙂

You are welcome Andi

Thank you very much! I enabled WASM and searched for the PMDG_B737-7_ANTISKID_OFF_POS_SW,0 command under FSControl. Unfortunately I could not find it there 😞

Andi, if you have v7304, they should be there.

[Autobrake for PMDG 737 under MSFS]

Andy, even though I appreciate John's help with this, couldn't get it to work myself either. But what worked flawlessly for me was to enable WASM and selecting the presets. This is done like this: open FSUIPC app, right click on the FSUIPC system in tray icon, show, add-ons, WASM and enable it. Close FSUIPC. Open the sim and fsuipc (if it has not opened automatically). Start a flight. Go to fsuipc buttons and swithces, rotate your rotary button for example to the left and then choose PMDG_B737-7_ANTISKID_RTO_POS_SW,0

Do the same for PMDG_B737-7_ANTISKID_OFF_POS_SW,0      etc... Done, that easy.
