As I said John, I have no assignments in MSFS for the TPM. Every button/switch on it is handled by FSUIPC. G=Pro Flight TPM System G.GUID={C8DA6E60-25B7-11E6-8001-444553540000} is the controller in question.

Sorry I've taken so long to get back. Attached is my ini and the log. MSFS has only two button controls assigned to different controllers, not this one. Everything else is handled by FSUIPC. That was my very first thought. My hunch, based on no technical knowledge is that MSFS thinks an electrical thing has been switched so I'll turn stuff off. Oh, I did two runs, one starting from the runway i.e. ready to fly. No conflict. Starting from a parking spot i.e. C&D- Conflict FSUIPC7.zip

..And not by design. This probably is outside of your sphere of influence but I'll ask anyway. I have several controllers, one of which is the Saitek TPM throttle/bank of switches. All the switches are assigned via FSUIPC, no issues there...Except. One of the switches does the strobes and when starting an aircraft switching on the strobes switches off the battery thus knocking out avionics etc. Switching everything back on (Battery, Alternator, avionics on the same bank of switches) the strobes switch minds it's own business. Now, could that be an FSUIPC thing or an MSFS/Asobo thing?

Yes, it's not quite what I thought it would be, but it'll do until you can rework it maybe?

Actually, that does the job, thanks. The reason I asked was because I sometimes forget to start FSUIPC until the sim has started in full screen and the system tray is hidden resulting in a bit of a faff. Just to make sure, it will connect to the sim when it loads an aircraft, or before? I'll have another go and watch carefully.

Is it possible to have an option to not minimise to the system tray on starting FSUIPC7?

Thank you John. I shall save that list to my desktop...In case.

I'm so pleased I happened upon this thread. I've been driven mad by Avionics Master Set and every vaiation of it. I very nearly resorted to letting MSFS do the job but that would be giving in eh? Due to your input here I now have the avionics switch working, albeit upside down. On is off and vice versa. but I can live with that. Are there any other commands like that? Is Asobo taking notice of you? Anyway, thanks. EDIT: I assume those controls are in the paid for version already?

When I clicked the register button a pop up appeared saying that the 'Registration checker has stopped working and will close' My guess is it (FSUIPC) didn't want to be installed on F:// where the beta was installed and a registry key still told the installer it was there. So I cleaned out the registry and tried again. This time, C:// appeared in the 'install to' slot and it installed properly. A case of uninstallers don't remove everything eh? 🙂

I have bought it from SimMarket 15 minutes ago. Downloaded it and tried to install it as a fresh, brand new install. It insists that the Registration checker has stopped working. All details entered on the form as as per my details on SimMarket. I uninstalled the beta completely in order to start afresh.

Well, that's a matter of opinion. I never, ever found it so. I suspect no-one else did either. But it's your baby, I'm only a customer.

I have. Been using it for yonks. That's why I asked. Perhaps there is a misunderstanding. In the beta you click 'Show' then assignments theneither Axis, buttons or keys as separate windows. closing each one in turn. As you know, in previous versions one window four tabs. Tidier.

Will the layout be the same as previous FSUIPCs? i.e tabbed Axis/Buttons etc.

Sorry I've been so long answering. I've sorted out what I wanted. Assign buttons to keystrokes! Eye point up = Up arrow. Eyepoint down = You'll never guess. 🙂 Thanks for you time. 👍

Having sorted that out. 😀 Is there an answer to the eyepoint situation? This is starting to sound trivial now that I have got the results I want. They're just not where I want them.

My brain is addled by all this new information. Sorry. Scrub what I said. In and Out are on switches assigned to key presses + and - . For or Up and Down MSFS takes over. I don't know if there is a keyboard command for Up and Down. Just to be clear, all I want is adjustable Up Down In Out. Not specific 'views'.

Oops!

29=RC,3,C66524,0 -{EYEPOINT_UP}- 30=RC,2,C66525,0 -{EYEPOINT_DOWN}- Assigned to a two way switch on my CH yoke. (left hand side rocker switch. Any time I can help John, don't hesitate to ask. 😀

I wonder could you help. I have eyepoint left and right assigned in FSUIPC7, all good. Eyepoint up and down ignore me. I've had to resort to MFS controls which are called 'Cockpit view' up and down. I'd love to be able to keep everything under the FSUIPC7 roof. Any clues? Ron

Thanks for the input Simguy but as far as I'm concerned that looks far too involved for this old head. I'll wait till things get sorted, as I'm sure they will.

Thank you Thomas, very helpful. Something less to stress about. 🙂

On the whole FSUIPC7 works fine for me given the I don't really ask a lot of it. One thing is, that it doesn't start with the sim. It closes when the sin closes but doesn't start when the sim starts. Both Auto connect and Exit options are ticked. Should I start another thread for my other finding? Let's see. Toggle Avionics Master or Avionics Master Set have no effect in the sim. I've had to resort to Avionics Master Set in the sim controls (the ONLY one 🙂) If these items have been raised already I'm darned if I could find 'em.

Ahah! Axis range! I didn't think of that. I'll be back Installing v5 HF. What we put ourselves through is outrageous. 😄 EDIT: Nah, no joy (ouch!) But I'm more than happy. Having said that, I was always of the opinion that FSUIPC could do EVERYTHING! 🙄

Good afternoon. Yes I was pulling the throttle back manually but I couldn't get it to recognise the 'Lift and continue back to the button' movement. It's hard to explain if you don't know the Warthog. I made the assumption that everybody has a Warthog. Sorry.

Addendum: After RTFM session I re-discovered that you right click on the throttle to move it to the idle/cut off position. I thought you'd like to know that. 🙂 😷
