Hello Pete, Well, the errors in the instructions were typo's and not actual copies from thr FCUIPC.ini. I found a parameter in the SD YAK-40 inifile "Flaps step 0.2". So I thought 100 steps are needed to get 20, and I programmed the Set Flaps with "100". Thre was no movement. So I changed the value in the YAK-40 inifile to "Flaps step 20.0" and bingo! I can now use the Flaps Inc instruction to go to 20°. The final instruction sequence is now : 21=CP(F+0,10)(F-0,31)0,4,C65758,0 ; Flaps incr 22=CU(F+0,10)(F-0,31)0,4,C1003,31 ; Set flag 31 23=W0BE0>8192 CP(F+0,10)(F+0,31)0,4,C65603,0 ; Flap at 20, do "Full Flaps" 24=CP(F+0,10)0,5,C65595,0 ; Flaps up 25=CP(F+0,10)0,5,C1004,31 ; Reset flag 31 I can't ask Mr. Suprunov for some explanaition. He was for years a pilot of a YAK-40 and had an A-rating for Airbus. He died this year in Moscow in the night of 25 april. Why the "Set Flap" to a value is not working will stay a mistery... Hugo Hugo

Hi Pete, Indeed the flaps haven't detentes, like on the real one the flaps can by set to any angle. I changed the "Key buttons" to controlls, which are working well. The rows below are working but with the "old annoyance". You wonder why the value must be 9635: it is because at that moment the "technician or KGB-man?" says "Flaps set 20", he doesn't at lower values. 21=W0BE0<9365 CR(F+0,10)(F-0,31)0,4,C65758,0 ; Flaps incr 22=W0BE0>9364 CU(F+0,10)(F-0,31)0,4,C1003,31 ; set flag 31 at 20° Flaps 23=CP(F+0,10)(F+0,31)0,4,C65603,0 ; Flap at 20°, do Full Flaps 24=CP(F+0,10)0,5,C65595,0 ; Flaps UP 25=CP(F+0,10)0,5,C1004,31 ; Reset flag 31 Because I found this not working on the Suprunov YAK-40 21=CP(F+0,10)0,4,C65698,9365 ; set flaps 20? is not working (with this airplane?) 22=W0BE0>9364 CP(F+0,10)(F-0,31)0,4,C1003,31 ; set flag 31 at 20° Flaps, would work when the previous row would work. 23=CP(F+0,10)(F+0,31)0,4,C65698,16383 ; does not "Full Flaps" but "Flaps Up" (with this airplane?) The last row does the same as: 3=CP(F+0,10)(F+0,31)0,4,C65698,0 ; which works... Thank your for your quick answer so early after returning from vacation... Hugo

Hello, One of my favoriths is still the SD YAK-40, but I have a small problem with it, it has continuous setting of flaps, but only 0°, 20° and full flaps are used, so I made some button programming : 21=W0BE0<9365 CR(F+0,10)(F-0,31)0,4,K118,8 ; F7 (Flaps down) 22=W0BE0>9364 CU(F+0,10)(F-0,31)0,4,C1003,31 ; set flag 31 at 20° Flaps 23=W0BE0>9364 CP(F+0,10)(F+0,31)0,4,K119,8 ; Flap at 20°, do F8 (Full Flaps) 24=CP(F+0,10)0,5,K116,8 ; F5 (Flaps up) 25=CP(F+0,10)0,5,C1004,31 ; Reset flag 31 As long as the flaps are < 20° and I push button 4 the flaps are going to 20°. If I release the button 4 at 20° the flag 31 is set. Next when I push button 4 again, the flaps are going to full. When I push button 5, the flaps are going up and the flag is reset. This works nicely but with one annoyance: I have to push button 4 until they come at 20° and they are going slooow. Does somebody know a trick so I have only to "pulse" the button 4 ? Thanks in advance, Hugo

Hi Pete, That's quick! I had no problems with it in FSUIPC, in FSX however... Well my first message was only showing a part of the programming, hence these points in the rows after the commands I mentioned. But solved now...well I seems to attract the weird things, do you still remember that weird thing with the tab and alt flags for button programming: "to late to change" ... Regards and al the best for 2012, Hugo

Hi, Ik have made this kind of programming for FSUIPC4 in FSX: [buttons] ButtonRepeat=20,10 InitialButton=0,7 0=CU(-0,7)0,6,C1003,10 1=CU(-0,6)0,7,C1003,10 2=CP(-0,7)0,6,C1004,10 . . I expect that flag 10 would be set, when I don't touch a joystick key as it does in FSUIPC for FS9. But it doesn't. Is something changed between FSUIPC and FSUIPC4 for button programming ? Hm

Hi, I have looked in the list to find an offset for "plane is pushback" but I don't find it. Does it exist? Edit: after 5 times going trough the list, I found it : 031F0 . Must change my glasses :rolleyes: Thanks in advance, Hugo

Hello Pete, With the latest version FSUIPC 3.86.5, all seems all right again, for me in any case. Hugo

Hallo Pete, Something is broken in the latest version. I have a lot of trouble with the button programming: the buttons are acting weird but there is no specific error, sometimes they are giving weird commands (change view instead of increment flaps etc.) ..., or are locked..., or only respond after multiple tries..., sometimes I can't to enter FS commands with the keyboard anymore..., sometimes joystick movements are not giving action any longer..., sometimes FS9 freezes. Weird things are going on. Returning back to 3.84.9 has solved my problems. Regards, Hugo

Hi, I have going a few times trough the list, but I don't find it. Exists an offset for the view status (tower, spot, 2D cockpit, VC) ? Thanks in advance Hugo

Hi, Some time ago I started some documentation about button programming with FSUIPC. The article however got never finished (my English is too bad. However, Pete was so kind to make some corrections and he published some tricks I programmed in his documentation). I have uploaded the "unfinished" Word document to my site from where you can download it. The link: http://users.telenet.be/desi-iii/ButtonProgramming.doc Hope the doc helps you. Regards, Hugo

Hello Pete, Normally I made no long flights but now I am "active" in Australia and I also suffer from CDT's in long flights (+ 1 hour , but sometimes it was less). Like the guys on these thread, I reinstalled 3.70 and the CDT's are gone (at least in the flight I made today. + 3hours) If I can help you with test something, let me know. Regards, Hugo

Hi Pete, I also had problems with 3.714 (Active Sky wouldn't connect to Fs2004) but 3.715 has solved the issue. Simply to let you know. Regards, Hugo

Hi, What Pete wants to say is that FSUIPC sees only the change of the button state and remembers this during the whole button scan. So in your case and I suppose now that the rotary switch is on joystick 3, button 1. 1=P3,1,your command,param If you turn the rotary FSUIPC will see the change from OFF to ON and execute the command. In the next scans, your rotary will be ON but there is no change of state, so there is no execution of the command. This change is remembered during a whole scan, example: 1=P3,1,command 1,param 2=P3,1,C1006,10 3=CP(F+10)3,1,command2,param 4=CP(F-10)3,1,command3,param I am using the SAME change of state of the SAME button for the execution of these 4 rows, the OFF-ON state transition of button 1 of joy stick 3 does: 1 executes command 1 2 toggles a dummy switch (OFF->ON or ON->OFF) 3 if the internal switch is set, do command 2 4 if the internal switch is not set, do command 3 Thus, every time the button 1 of joystick 3 goes from OFF to ON, command 1 is executed, but command 2 is only executed the 1st, 3th, 5th... time, command 3 only the 2nd, 4th, 6thtime. It totally disregards if the switch is ON or OFF, it only reacts when the switch is going from OFF to ON, except for the status of the internal dummy switches , here (+F10) or (-F10) Regards, Hugo

Hi Pete, Only to say that a "." (point) is giving a bad link here: "Announcement: Other Downloads and Updates [7th November 2006]" Regards, Hugo P.S. Thanks for still supporting the FS9 FSUIPC version! (FSX does not run "well" on my computer)

:oops: shame on me, Thunderbird is not the browser but the email client of Mozilla. The correct text (except for my poor English) must be: I don't think the "Reload" button with Firefox helps (like I experienced, it only refreshes the cached content of the the html page, but if a link on that page points to a file with a name that is already cached, the file itself is not reloaded if you are clicking the link). For Firefox you need to empty the cache as follows : Tools -> Options -> Privacy -> Cache and select the button "Clear cache now". I had made the same mistake twice in the text and did only one replacement :roll: . Hugo

Hi All, I don't think the "Reload" button with Firefox helps (like I experienced, it only refreshes the cached content of the the html page, but if a link on that page points to a file with a name that is already cached, the file itself is not reloaded if you are clicking the link). For Thunderbird you need to empty the cache as follows : Tools -> Options -> Privacy -> Cache and select the button "Clear cache now". Regards, Hugo

Hi Pete, Sorry, you were right. IMHO a better place for the "cache warning" is the beginning of the page because it doesn't come in view if you simply want to download a new version of FSUIPC. Regards, Hugo

Hi Pete, I have downloaded version 3.60 from http://www.schiratti.com. Is this really version 3.60? The FSUIPC.DLL is still dated jan 01 2006. Regards, Hugo

Fs-Force has a much better support for a Force feedback joystick as the standard FS2004 support and it displays the trim setting for a few seconds with "running numbers" if you are manipulating it in a small black popup window in the right lower corner of the screen :) Regards, Hugo

Hi, I think you are referring to FS Force (purple text on black field ?). Regards, Hugo

What seems odd are the big fonts used in the FSUIPC window. Are you missing some fonts ? Regards, Hugo
