Yes. Change the joystick + button numbers to the one you want, and the controls it sends to the ones you want, maybe keystrokes? You'd place it into the FS Modules path and get it running by using an [Auto] section in the FSUIPC4.INI file, like
[Auto]
1=Lua TripleUseIf you use Profiles and only want it running for certain aircraft, just make the section
[Auto.<profile name>]
You should really read up about plug-ins in the Lua document included. You'll find plug-ins useful for many things.
Pete
Thanks. Will try and will come to you with success and no success.

Thanks Pete,
I will test options 1 and 3.
One question for option 1. The script tripleuse is ziiped in the file example LUA plugins.zip. I understand I have to unzip it modified as required and then put the file in what path to make it work?
Thanks

I think the latest LINDA module for this aircraft will do this on the MCPII (I think requires registered FSUIPC).
Hi Mark777,
No, LINDA does not make this so far.

I don't think the view of the graphic position of a throttle lever would be that good in any case.
Just move your real throttle to engage the mode and look in the FSUIPC CALIBRATION tab to get the OUT value.
Pete
Thanks Pete. Ok I got the values for the different positions, CLIMB, FLEX and TOGA. Now how I program a button to make it push and go to those position?
Thanks

So, can you assign controls to the button? Are their such assignable controls supported by the aircraft, or do you need to set throttle levels to do that? If the latter you can set a throttle level by using AXIS THROTTLE SET with an appropriate parameter (-16384 is zero, +16383 is 100%).
A - If I set the throttle level with the appropriate parameter, how do I know the exact value, since I have in the FSUIPC window in modal format, I cannot see the the mark in the throttle where the TOGA is. Did I explain myself?
If you want to do it through sequential button presses you'd use the Flag setting control as well, and the flag testing. Two button flags would do the job for 3 different actions.
This sort of multiple assignment to one button has to be done by editing the FSUIPC4.INI file, and is described in the Advanced User manual.

Hi Pete,
I want to push a button in MCP and the action should be change the throttle mode to TOGA, CLIMB or FLEX.
Thanks the quick response.

Hi Pete
I would like to assign the button TOGA, CLIMB and FLEX in my VRInsight MCP II when I move the throttle to TOGA or CLIMB or FLEX position for the FSLabs A320. Is that possible through FSUIPC?
My scenario:
Prepar3d 3.4.22
FSLabs A320
VRInsight Combo MCP II
Thanks a lot

Any other thoughts, ideas?

Hi Martin,
Thanks for the reply. I have already set the com2, the com4 was with another test. And yes I do everything you days prior to post this thread.

Hello,
First I do not know where to publish the question, here or send it to VRInsight support.
I have FS9 and want to use the MCP Combo panel II with Qwality wings BAe AVRO RJ100. To make this work I know I have to user the combination of VSPE and FSUIPC to create macros for the different buttons, swicthes, rotary, etc. I have setup the VSPE with the pair COM2 and COM4. I have modify the FSUIPC and include the section:
[VRInsight]
1=COM3, COM4
The MCP Combo is running in COM3 port.
I started first the VSPE, then the FS9 and when I have the AVRO loaded I then run the VRSim, but it does not change the port in VRSim, it always show the COM3, and I guess it should show COM4.
I followed the doc FSUIPC_VRInsight_mod.pdf created by Günter Steiner “guenseli”.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Hello,
I am trying to download the latest version of FSUIPC 3.999z9 from http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html. The link says 3.999z9 but the installer installs the z8 version instead of z9. I tried from different PCs and browsers, deleting the cache files and always download the same version.
Am I missing anything?
Thanks

Installing FSUIPC never changes any of your files or settings, it only replaces the FSUIPC program (DLL) itself and updates documents and examples in your FSUIPC Documents folder.
You should back up your settings for sure. Copy all .KEY, .INI, .MCRO and .LUA files from the Modules folder to a safe place.
Pete
Thanks Pete!

Hi Pete,
I am going to install the latest FSUIPC for FS9 and I have two questions:
1 - I did a lot of macros, do I loose these macros after upgrading?
2 - Is there any way to export/import the macros just in case I lost it need to reinstall FS9
Thanks
Kiko

Hi Pete,
Sorry I completely forgot to reply you. Thanks for answering.

Hi Pete,
I am trying to create macros to assign to buttons of the Saitek Switch Panel. When I use one of the buttons of the panel, FSUIPC does not recognize hence I cannot assign the macro.
I am using FSX and the FSUIPC version I have installed is 4.921f
Thanks in advance

Andy, can you help me with the logging?.
Thanks
Kiko

No. All of the radio facilities are passed through. FSUIPC doesn't need to do anything at all with them. There is no difference for COM or NAV or ADF or DME or TRN. If the COM button is not working I can only think it is a hardware fault.
You can try logging for VRI in FSUIPC (I think this is documented in the PDF about setting it up?)), or perhaps VRInsight website has a program to test with.
For more help i suggest you visit the VRI support forum. I am leaving very soon now for a holiday.
Regards
Pete
Thanks Pete. I do not think it is hardware related since if I do not use VSPE, the COM works fine, but I need the VPSE to use macros. I already talked to Andy at VR support and he suggested to talk with you.

Hi Pete,
I have configured the QualityWings Ultimate BAe 146 and Flight1 ATR72-500 in FS9 to make it work with MCP Combo II through FSUIPC macros. I have set almost all the functions, EFIS, Autopilot and Radios. However in the radios module I did not have to use macro since it works without touching anything except the COM. If I press the COM button it does nothing, not even change the value(i.e. from ADF to COM) in the display. If I press other button like NAV, it change the display to NAV and can toggle the frequency, etc.
I guess it was due to the add-on but I test the same with the default FS9 aircraft and the behavior is the same. I am using VSPE in order to use the MCP Combo II as a joy to make it work through macros. I do not know if VSPE void the use of the COM button.
I am using the latest FSUIPC version 3.999z8 on FS9 and W7 64bits.
What do you think?
Thanks
Kiko

Yes I have it, I will test in a while.
Thanks
Kiko
It worked!!
Thanks Andy and Pete

You have VRinsight hardware right? Then in that case yes you have to assign to the press and to the release of the buttons, its a peculiarity to most VRinsight hardware apart from those devices that are seen as normal joysticks i.e. the TT and MS Panels.
Yes I have it, I will test in a while.
Thanks

Rotary switches send "button press" and "button release" alternately, so the answer is to assign the same action to both press and release.
Pete
Wow!! I do not even have time to refresh the page when you already answered. Were you behind me? :smile:
Does this apply for all buttons, switches and rotaries?
Thanks

Hello,
After create a macro with FSUIPC for FS9 for a button, switch or rotary button, when I use it have to push, switch and make rotary twice to take effect. Does anyone has faced this issue?
Thanks
Kiko

Don't the regular controls work? Have you checked their documentation for alternatives?
Does the panel use L:Vars? If so you can try those. Otherwise, does it support keystrokes for its functions?
If the makers of the aircraft simply do not want you to use any hardware with their aircraft then they don't need to supply any way of doing it for you. But perhaps you should first ask in their support forum?
Regards
Pete
What regular controls do you mean?. The documetnation of the add-on does not include this kinf of information.
I have checked in the forum and I did not find anything, but I might be wrong. How do I find out if the panel use L:Vars?

Upgrade from FSUIPC4 to FSUIPC5
in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

Hello Pete,
Is there any upgrade program for the current registered FSUIPC4 users?
Do I have to purchase a new full license?
Thanks
