Hi Pete, Thanks for your quick response. I solved my problem by deleting everything in the Axis department from the fsuipc.ini file. There were a lot of axis defined by me in the past and due to connecting and reconnecting there were axis still defined that i didn´t know of, i lost the overview. By simply deleting everything i can start fresh. I now simply use the FS assignment and use Fsuipc to calibrate and assign features that fs9 doesn´t support natively. I know it´s probably better to leave everything connected to the pc all the time. But some of the other programs i run don´t accept more than 3 input devices. Besides this, i don´t have the place to keep all the devices stored next to the computer. Thanks for your help! Regards, André :)

Hi, I am using different hardware controls for Fs depending on the kind of Aircraft i like to fly. The default Fs9 joystick setup uses the joystick name as a reference for what axis does what. If i unplugged joysticks and plugged in another, fs9 just recognized the joystick and automatically assigned the correct function to its axis. I´ve now been experimenting with Fsuipc, because it has better abilities to set things up (i.e. assigning Cowl Flaps), but it assigns functions to a joysticknumber. If i pull one joystick out (i.e. Cougar) and use another one (i.e. Yoke and ThrottleQuadrant) it assigns the axis simply to the joysticknumber. Is it possible to change this? Is there a way to get an overview about what function is assigned to what axis? And/or is it possible to use the Fs9 Joystick assignment, but use Fsuipc for calibrating and button assignment? I tried doing this, but Fsuipc keeps assigning functions to axis ( i am probably doing something wrong here...) Is there a way to stop Fsuipc from Assigning Axis? Best regards and thanks for the continuing development of Fsuipc. André :)

Hi, Anyway, Thank you for your fast response and making available this testversion to us, as it did solve my problems! Keep up the good work, Fsuipc is a great utility. Regards, Andre

Oh, i forgot to mention: I have a Pentium 4, 2,4 ghz. and only had problems with fsuipc 3.125. Regards, Andre

Hi, The test version you send works! I just installed it and let fs9 run for 10 min. (i don't have more time at the moment) and it seems to work fine now. Just to answer your questions: - I had no problems with version 3.11 and had one more version running before that without any problems (don't know the version anymore, sorry). Both registered. - I start up fs9 with the default cessna, because of the reason you already mentioned (to prevent fs from overloading at the beginning) - At the moment i don't use fsuipc for anything other than fine calibrating my throttle, rudder and yoke. - I have Widefs installed (and registered), but do not use it at the moment for any external programs. (i just registered both because i had good use of them in the past) my fsuipc.log looks like this: ********* FSUIPC, Version 3.126 by Pete Dowson ********* User Name="Andre Sturm" User Addr="andre@sturm.cx" FSUIPC Key is provided WideFS Key is provided Module base=61000000 ClassOptions: UIPCMAIN=FF7F, FS98MAIN=FF7F, FS2KMAIN=FF5E WeatherOptions(Orig)=40003605[40003605] InitDelay: 0 seconds WeatherReadInterval=4 DebugStatus=255 3766 System time = 17:20:41 3766 \\ANDRE\D-Schijf\FS2004\ 3781 System time = 17:20:41, FS2004 time = 12:00:00 (00:00Z) 18797 FLIGHTS\OTHER\FLTSIM.flt 18891 AIRCRAFT\c172\Cessna172SP.air 40719 C:\Documents and Settings\Dre\My Documents\Flight Simulator Files\Startup Hovercontrol.flt 40938 Clear All Weather requested: external weather discarded 44188 Advanced Weather Interface Enabled 362391 WeatherOptions set, now 40003605 (timer=0) 386281 System time = 17:27:03, FS2004 time = 12:29:56 (19:29Z) 386281 *** FSUIPC log file being closed Memory managed: 2 Allocs, 18028 Freed ********* FSUIPC Log file closed **** Regards, Andre

Hello, Thanks for your response. I made a typo regarding the Reporterrors. I do have it correctly in the fs9.cfg (unfortunately, i was hoping this would have solved the problem..) I will try around with disabling features such as AGP and updating all drivers, as you mentioned. I have already tried to close as many programs running in the background using enditall, unfortunately without succes. If i do have any succes and find out what caused my problems, i'll report them here. Thank you for your help and understanding. Regards, Andre

Hello, First of all, sorry for "barging" in (don't know if this is the right word) on this thread. :oops: I did not want to be unpolite, but wanted to inform you that there are more customers with similar problems. And offcourse you are right that you can't help much without further information, therefor i tried all morning to create the required drwatson log-file of the crash..and was unsuccessful (now i feel even more stupid :oops: ) As mentioned in your documents, i: -add the errorreports=0 line in fs9.cfg -started drwatson - started fs9 - after app. 30 seconds the screen freezes. -the sound continues -pressing a key does not do anything (including alt-tab), except pressing ctrl-alt-del. - by pressing ctrl-alt-del i get the "windows security" window, when i press task manager, nothing happens (the simulator view is displayed all the time, with the windows security window in front of it). - When i press shutdown (in the windows security window), windows reports that fs9 is not responding, i press end now and then nothing happens. - The only way to continue is a hard reset (by pressing the reset button). When i then restart and look for a .log file there is no new one created. In your documents you mention: 2. Before running FS again, run DrWatson.EXE (in Win2000 or WinXP it is DrWtsn32.EXE and it is in the Windows\System32 folder). To do this, simply click the Windows Start button, then Run, type ‘DrWatson’ (for example) and hit return. It will run and place a little icon in the system tray, which you can ignore. (On Windows 2000 and Windows XP it might come up with a set of options first. It is the Log you want, not the Dump, so note where that is going to be placed, or choose a different suitable folder for it). When starting drwtsn32.exe (winxp) i get the mentioned options screen, however when i then press ok, it does not place a little icon in the system tray and when looking in the taskmanager for active processes, it is not there either.. Can you tell me what i am doing wrong here? I'm sorry, but my experience with drwatson and debugging is very limited.

I understand that you can't help me a lot without a drwatson log-file. But after trying for 3 hours (and restarting a zillion times each time fs9 crashed) i decided to write you again to see if you can help me get the needed information. Regards, Andre

Hi, Then do you have an explanation why this only started after installing the latest version? I had no problems with the previous version... Could you please tell me where i can download older versions? Or could you mail me version 3.11. This one worked fine for me. Regards, Andre :D

Hello, I have the same problem. Fs9 hangs after about 30 secs. (looks like a graphic problem) since i installed the latest version. Where can i download an older version? I was so stupid to overwrite the previous version... :oops: Regards, Andre :D
