I wish to assign functions to a CH Eclipse yoke. As things stand, the yoke cannot be reliably calibrated using the built-in X-Plane routines. This yoke is not directly supported by X-Plane whereas the Saitek Pro yoke is. Does anyone on these boards have any experience which would be relevant to me? It's been suggested that I use Lua to write scripts to control the various functions. I do not know if this is possible in Linux X-P. If it is, I would have to learn some LUA language but I do not know where to begin. I know, the simplest solution would be to buy a Saitek Pro yoke on ebay, but I like the Eclipse, and I don't like to be beaten. Thanks for any help.

I've tried to connect both Active Sky 2016 and PlanG with an amended Simconnect.xml. Initially, I was trying to connect just PlanG with WideFS.No joy, despite following all the instructions as best I can. One odd thing though. In the client 'shares' with the server I have Lockheed Martin and Lockheed Martin2 folders. This renaming was done by W10, not by me, presumably because there are at least two Lockheed Martin folders in my set up which must be shared. In other words, Lockheed Martin2 contains the P3D3.exe although I guess WideFS is looking for ..../Lockheed Martin/P3D3.exe. Am I clutching at straws, or do I need a large gin and tonic? John

Simconnect doesn't work either, and I've tried various ports. The simconnect.xml is attached if you would be so kind as to check it for me. SimConnect.xml Not sure what you mean here. I do not know how to use exe.xml to disable files - and do you mean .dll or something else? SimConnect.xml John

Pete, I changed the ports, both ports, both ends, but there's still no connection. I am going to abandon P3D. To be honest I really don't think it is all it is cracked up to be - not the 32-bit versions anyway. I felt I had to try it given that FSX development has ceased. Perhaps I will have better luck with XP11. Thanks for your help. Regards, John

Pete, I'm not using FSUIPC5. I am running P3D3.4, 32-bit, not P3D4, 64-bit. I'll check out the ports again. The wideserver.ini must have been a carryover from an earlier version of FSUIPC. John

I just noticed, comparing the FSX/Modules files, there's no wideserver.ini in the P3D/Modules folder or in any of the Lockheed Martin folders. This should be generated automatically?? John

Thanks again, Pete. A further twist. I have FSX on the same server - different HDD. I've not used it for so long I forgot I had it. Using the same client, WideFS connects perfectly with FSX using the ServerName=IVY, Protocol=TCP lines in the Wideclient.ini. So I think the network is not an issue. Perhaps it is something to do with ports, but I tried changing these to 8006 and 9006 without success. Any more thoughts before I take a sledgehammer to the whole damned thing, and take up flower arranging? Regards, John

I know what shouting looks like on boards! That is why I never do it. That is why I used bold. Guess who was shouting? I am grateful for your continuing support but I'm afraid the news is not good. Still no connection, despite my complying with everything. The files are posted and include pics of my Workgroup name just to allay any doubts. Ivy is the server. One thing I did notice was that when WideClient is exited, the server still carries the 'waiting for connection' text. Maybe irrelevant. WideClient.ini WideClient.log WideServer.log Kind regards, John

It did not connect with the default installation. I did not change the 'ini file because it was working! As for the rest of your reply, if you took the trouble to read what I wrote, you would understand that the workgroups are the same, the firewalls are off, and the network is correctly configured. I hate shouting, Pete, least of all to my customers. Forgive my boldness ;) I've been reading your excellent FSUIPC and WideFS .pdf's for many years and have usually found them very helpful. On this occasion, with this particular pP3Dv3.4 connection problem, I didn't. Thank you for your interest.

I changed ServerName=Ivy to ServerIPAddr=192.168.1.38 because the .ini with the ServerName failed to connect! So I made one change; somewhat harsh to call it 'messing' but there you are. In fact, you recommend ServerName because it avoids problems if/when the IP address changes. However, I tried a fresh install of WideFS, with NO ServerIPAddr and NO ServerName and NO Protocol. Still no connection. WideClient.ini John

Many thanks Hmm, rather than inserting the Protocol parameter I've acted on your advice and reverted to ServerName. Still no connection. Firewalls are off. A new set of files are attached: WideClient.ini WideClient.log WideServer.log Regards, John

Hello! The two PCs are on the same network and belong to the same workgroup (the client is W10 x64; the server is W7 x64) . Their files can be seen by each other, and opened in both directions. I've attached log files and the WideClient.ini WideClient.log WideServer.log WideClient.ini I'd be grateful for help., John

Thanks for your interest and help. John

I cannot explain this. I do not have two joysticks, just one yoke. Anyways, this log is for joystick 0 (the yoke) and button 0. The autopilot Power still turns off when I cycle from Cockpit View to other Views using button 0. ********* FSUIPC, Version 3.999z9a by Pete Dowson ********* Running inside FS2004 (FS9.1 CONTROLS.DLL,

No, not the Aeroworx (which for some unknown reason you call Aerowinx), but all others since the sim came out. I thought I was using button 2, button 24 is unassigned in FSUIPC. I see that very, very clearly. Many thanks.

Thanks again. It's the Aeroworx King Air. I'm not sure I understand your last two sentences. I run FS9. In FS9 'S' is 'Views (cycle)'. I have used this assignment for button 2 for close on ten years without problems. I do not get an AP disconnect when I use button 2 on any other plane, be it default, Level D 767, or one of many other addons. When I open FSUIPC the number 24 is in the Btn# box. I think it ought not to be there. I cannot remove it except by un-checking the checked boxes. Then it reverts to 0. However, if I return to the opening panel to make some other adjustment, the 24 is always back. I do not know if this is relevant. Thanks for your help.

Thank you, Pete. The same thing happens with the FS keyboard command (S). I've checked for duplicate assignments several times and could find none. I've attached a log file and would be grateful if you could take a look at it. Regards, John FSUIPC_joy2.txt

I run FS9 in W7x64. I have button 2 on CH Eclipse mapped to Views/cycle using FSUIPC v.3.999z9a. In cockpit view when I click this button (taking me into Virtual Cockpit or Spot views) the Collins AP Power switches off. As can be seen, the Collins, unusually for most FS9 autopilots, has separate Power ON/OFF switches and AP engage/disengage switches. I am not sure how to separate commands for View/Cycle and Power ON/OFF with this particular autopilot using FSUIPC and would be grateful for advice. BTW, I cannot Power ON the Collins again until I return to Cockpit View. Thanking you. John

In my system I have made two small amendments for FS9.1. To get virtual radar altitudes showing in the Sky Demon Navigation Page (i.e. the 'in flight' page), set this in GPSOut.ini: [GPSout] Sentences=RMC,PGRMZ,GGA,GSA Remember that altitudes will not show in the Navigation page until the aeroplane is moving. The default settings for sentences are sufficient in my FSX system. I have also set Speed=19200 in the GPSOut.ini, and in the /GPS Navigation options I have set baud=19200.

I have managed to link FS9.1 with SkyDemon using the GPSOut program. I run W7 x64. SkyDemon is a real world VFR flightplanner and moving map display with extensive European, US, Australia/NZ coverage. Being designed for real world navigation with Garmin receivers it is regularly updated. It is not cheap but can be used both in the aeroplane and in a simulator under the same licence. http://www.skydemon.aero/ My method: 1. Install SkyDemon and run the program. Install maps. Exit the program. 2. Create a pair of virtual serial ports using Eltima software - there is a free trial period. I tried other software including the MixW program included in the GPSOut.zip without success. The Eltima program involved 4 clicks and worked first time. Download the VSP driver to a temp folder. 3. Run the downloaded Eltima virtual serial port driver - vspd.exe. Select two pairs of COM ports - I chose COM8 and COM9. Click 'Add pair.' 4. Run FS9.1 and create a test flight using the MS flightplanner i.e. a GPS flight. Make sure this shows in the GPS as a purple track. 5. Open SkyDemon. Under SetUp/Device Connectivity Options, check 'I have a Garmin handheld device'. Set port to COM8 (the first of the pair in your VSP setup). Do not change anything else. 6. Still under Setup, go to /GPS Navigation options in the drop down menu. Set port to COM9 (the second of the pair in your VSP setup). I left the other options at default values. 7. Close SkyDemon and FS9.1. 8. Install GPSOut 2.61 - available for download from http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html - follow install instructions carefully. 9. Open GPSOut.ini and scroll down to Port. Set this to Port=8 or whatever was the first of your pair of virtual ports. Save. 10. Run FS9.1 and open at the departure airport for your test flight. 11. Open SkyDemon and click on 'Start GPS' top right. I've tested this GPSOut program with the default GPS and the RealityXP GNS500 units. Not surprisingly they both work although the default unit lacks many RNAV funtions including the LPV function. For the benefit of less experienced users, if you are running Windows 7 you can avoid trouble by installing all programs on the root folder e.g. C:\SkyDemon. It is usually best to avoid using the C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86) folder. Also, in W7 best to run all programs as administrator (right click). I do not know about Windows 8. Thanks for another gem, Pete. I've looked at this GPSOut for many years wondering.... [Addendum by Pete: thanks for posting your solution. I should also add that registered users of FSUIPC4 can also do this with FSX or P3D using the GPSout facility built in]

[EDIT by Pete: moved from original thread in support forum so it is retained for others to benefit] Sky Demon is a real world VFR flightplanner which creates a moving map display using GPS data. In FSX it is relatively easy to set this up using a virtual serial port and OpusFSX (primarily an FSX weather program). The RealityXP GNX500 together with OpusFSX provide the GPSOut data for Sky Demon. I would like to use Sky Demon with FS9 but am not sure how to proceed. From the FSUIPC Advanced Guide it seems that FSUIPC GPSOut is designed for VRInsight devices via WideFS. I run a multi-monitor system with Sky Demon and FS9 on the same PC. So I need to send GPS data from the PC via VSP to Sky Demon. In the first instance I will use the default GPS rather than Reality XP GNX500. I'd welcome your views on the feasilbility of this, and if feasible, the best way of setting it up. Thanks and regards, John

Never mind. I got it sorted. John

Pete I run the old Digital Aviation Fokker 70/100 in FSX/Win7 x64. Panel changes (i.e. overhead, pedestal, radios etc) are effected by clickspots - ten in all - narrow bars at the top, side, or bottom of each panel. They are a pain in the bum. Panels can also be changed in the usual way using SHIFT+1 etc key-presses but with so many different panels I soon forget which number does what. Is it possible to assign simicons to the key-presses in the panel.cfg? I can easily delete the clickspots with FSPanel Studio. Or can the keypresses be re-assigned to the numeric part of the keyboard? Perhaps I need one of them new fangly gadgets. Best regards John
