I'll give that a go. Thanks for being so quick. You a night owl as well? 🙂 I'm back. Indeed, that does cut the engine but it doesn't move the throttle lever back. I remember where that used to work. DCS L39. You could assign the button to do what it's supposed to do. Considering this L39 has travelled with me from FSX right through to P3Dv5 it's a small price to pay. Thanks for your attention. G'night.

Nice vague title. On the Warthog throttle, when you close the throttle completely you hit the stops. Fine. Lifting the handle and bringing it back some more it triggers a button. In, for instance, the Lotus Sim L-39 this stops the engine. On to the question: Which command in FSUIPC6 do I use for carrying out that function? I've trawled through the whole list and cannae find anything that looks likely. My misty old mind seems to recall having that in P3Dv4.5 but of course I could well be wrong.

It is amazing how much you rely on FSUIPC. I feel like I can't do anything until it's up and running. Pete, you've made a junkie out of me!

They had the weekend off! Whatever next? 🙄

You and me both mate.

This crowd is starting to look ugly. 😲

Been there Thomas. No way to buy though. Like the man said, are we just waiting for Sim Market to extract the digit?

Bit of a mess then? I do have a lot of controllers but some aren't used except for some buttons. Throttle1_set, sounds promising. And..After a lot of assigning and clearing both elevator trims are working! Go figure. The hatswitch is on the brand new Warthog Got it last Friday. All the hatswitch positions register in the calibration. I'm going back in. Thanks for your help Pete. Ron EDIT: Yay! THROTTLE1_SET is the way to go (I'll remember that one)

I'm off to bed too. Attached .ini Regarding the 'bold' bit. When I tried the P3D settings I forgot to disable the FSUIPC one. Then I did again after clearing the assignment and it did work. trim settings. P3D couldn't differntiate between the hatswitch buttons. They were all 1. FSUIPC5.ini

Golly that was quick! I updated client, content and scenery. Wasn't I brave? I haven't tried the trim thing in P3D, I'll try that. I have tried the reverse axis in P3D and it works. I did try going back to 5.122 buy no joy. I'll test the trims and return.

Odd happenings. P3Dv4.2. FSUIPC 5.123e Odd thing 1: I have two buttons assigned in FSUIPC to 'Elevator trim down' and 'Elevator trim up' These worked flawlessly until 4.2. 'Elevator trim down' still works but 'Up' refuses to play. Odd thing 2: I have a profile for helicopters and the cyclic (throttle axis) goes up when it should go down. Reverse the axis then! I've tried many many times even resorting to P3D controller settings! If this is a P3D issue I'll get me coat, but could it be a hiccup in what I have come to take for granted...FSUIPC? A clue as to where I'm going wrong, IF I'm going wrong would be nice. I'm running out of helicopters. It's the Milviz MD530 by the way. Could Milviz have cocked something up in their update? Nah, not possible. :-) EDIT: Did some testing and P3D doesn't appear to be the culprit...this time.

Me too. Plus FSUIPC isn't showing up in the menu. 5.122 seems to have no issues that I have encountered.

If it helps, I had the same .dll crash and it was down to Orbx_ObjectFlow_x64.dll. A new one was produced which cured the crash. This is part of the ObjectFlow Open beta.

I for one will be very happy to stump up a quid! Hell, it'll be worth it. :-) I've banged a few nails in FSW's coffin since my first look at it but no FSUIPC was the last and biggest one. I was kidding about a quid. I'll go to two quid!

Should anyone be interested I've nailed the problem. Someone suggested to me to go and look at the A2A172/182 configuration thingy. Now I swear I did not assign the AP master in the configurator, certainly not between sessions, but there it was! When I deleted those assignments everything went back to normal. Go figure. :? I think what was happening was FSUIPC was trying to obey orders which were being countermanded by A2A. Made for an interesting few days though Sorry I cast nasturtiums on FSUIPC Pete. It wont happen again. :)

Hello again Paul. :D As it happens I had swapped from a Realair Duke to an A2A182 during an online session. Could be something in that. Frame rates I never look at, is it smooth? That's my frame rate counter. ;) EDIT: Yes it was smooth.

I put everything back to FSUIPC control and the AP still not working. Oddly enough the button on the panel works when I use the switch, but it doesn't turn on the AP. I'm starting to think this may be an A2A related issue, as things work properly in other aircraft. I hate FSX sometimes! :razz: For what it's worth, here's the latest log: ********* FSUIPC4, Version 4.939e by Pete Dowson ********* Reading options from "C:\FlightSimulatorX\Modules\FSUIPC4.ini" Running inside FSX on Windows 7 Module base=67B80000 User Name="R.W.

The full message in FSX which runs across the top of the screen in a green ribbon is: "Microsoft Flight Simulator X SimConnect Error has been detected, restarting connection" I've used FSX since reassigning so I guess the log wont pertain to the problem eh?

Hi Pete, I'm long time FSUIPC fan and virtually all my buttons/switches are via FSUIPC. Yesterday a strange thing happened. The switch I use for APmaster suddenly refused to respond. I tried re-assigning but no dice. I had to revert to FSX controls (Z). FSUIPC did play nicely with another switch on another controller. At the same time I got the 'Simconnect error has been detected blah blah' message. Are they connected? Should I reinstall FSUIPC? 'Scratches head' :???:
