  3. Macro and Control setting lost with update FSUIPC6

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    Hello,

    I have upgraded my FSUIPC to version 6 for my P3Dv4.5. 

    I discovered that my macros and controllers settings were not transferred to the new FSUIPC. I tried to modify the FSUIPC6.ini file but my sim crashed. So I reverted to initial ini file.

    Is there a way to recover the macro and control setting that was existing in the version 5: And if yes, how to do it please...

    Thanks

    Hello,

    I could do the job 🙂... I was really disappointed by the UI of this feature. It was not obvious to me that I had to type the name of the macro within the black panel on top... 

    II could not set 2 macros within the same the same file because only the latest command was recorded in the file. So I did 2 separate macros/files for Range Plus and Range Minus.

    So I did learn something useful with the Mouse Macro. Thanks for your help.

    Best regards

    But you must have given this BEFORE you created the macro...when you clicked the button to start making the macro, you should have seen a pop-up box where you enter the macro name, as described in the User guide. Did you not see this?

    Yes and that is what I call the Macro name: RDR RANGE UP. This because I assume that I need to create another macro for the range down

    Is that the macro file name or the macro name? Remember, a macro file can have many macros

    It is the name of the macro... I don't know how to set the name of the file. Also I was assuming that the name of the macro and the file are the same.

    Just now, John Dowson said:

    Did you end the macro creation process, by clicking the End Macro Making button?

    Yes as per explained in the document...

    Hello John,

    I could find the console. I did what you suggested, monitoring the events. I was able to see many events related to flaps, views, NAV2 set etc... but no event is logged when I modify the radar range scale.

    Therefore, I decided to go for Mouse Macro.

    I have proceeded as explained in the Manual but face the following issues against the expected result:

    • I created the macro with name "RDR RANGE UP". The TAB action to control the macro is okay. Then I click OK. The macro with the name is not available in the list of "Control sent when button is pressed"
    • There is no file created with .MCRO anywhere in my computer (search *.mcro)

    So yes, the process of creating a mouse macro is easy, but I am stuck in the middle of the process. Did I forget anything? Was I wrong somewhere?

    I have attached my .log and .ini files...

    Regards

    Bruno

    But why are you doing this? If you want to assign a key press to a button, just use the left-hand side of the Buttons + Switches assignment UI panel. Just do that and then take a look at how the assignment line looks in your FSUIPC5.ini file afterwards.

    Hello John,

    I did that because the TAB and ENTER buttons are not recognized when I press them...

    Now, thanks to your latest explanations, I have understood and successfully set my 2 buttons. 
    Thanks for your patience but keep in mind that what is obvious for you is not always the same for us...

    Cheers

    I'm sorry, but I cannot help you any further if you are not even willing to try even very simple recommendations....

    Hello John,

    Why do you take it bad... I am willing to try but only if I understand what it is about... I spent an hour looking for "logging console" and "listing lvar" on Google and could not find anything match... 

    Is your last statement {it is not difficult - just go to the logging tab and select the appropriate options.} referring to FSUIPC software?

  14. Set Button action in FSUIPC5.ini

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    Hello,

    I am trying to assign 2 actions to buttons of my throttle using the technique explained in the Advanced Manual  (Format of buttons definition).

    I am not a developer and all these things are not familiar to me.

    I want to assign the TAB key to a button and the ENTER key to another one. After some studies, I wrote the following statements in the FSUIPC5.ini file but expected actions are not occurring:

    16=P7,13,K,4     -{Shifts: TAB}-                       As there is no Key press, I have left K with no data... Is that correct?

    20=P7,14,K13,8     -{Key press: ENTER }-      This one looks correct regarding the syntax but it does something else (full throttle...)

    The statements in {...} are entered manually by me. 

    Can someone help me fixing this?

    Thanks

    Bruno

    Hello John,

    I think that you made my day 🙂

    After editing the .log file with your proposed text, all seems to be fine now. Event the calibration through W10 is now possible, both calibration panels are available...

    I just mad a quick flight to validate m settings and everything is good.

    I will keep the system under observation for some time.  I will shut down computer and wake it up this afternoon to see if everything is solid. Will keep you advised.

    Thanks again for your assistance

    Best regards

    Bruno

    Are those files from after you changed the ids or before? After I presume....

    Hello,

    Yes, files after id changes.

    - unplug your devices

    Done as I get used to 🙂

    Once done, don't connect your devices, but go into regedit and search for any entries with  a vendor id of 0738  and a product id of 2215 or A215. Do you see anything?

    Yes I found some entries after typing SAITEK. See attached file {Entries SAITEK.png}. Entries deleted.

     

    3 hours ago, John Dowson said:

    Once those entries have been removed, reboot again and give the registry a last check.

    Rebbot done and new search in Registry... but with search criteria VID_0738. I used this criteria because I saw the format during the first search. And then I found some other entries {Entries VID_0738.png}. But I CANNOT delete these entries. {Message Entries.png}

    Then connect you devices, start P3D/FSUIPC, load an aircraft, shut down, and then show me those 3 files again.

    Done in sequence. Noticed that my Stick is not detected and the throttle controller is linked to the aircraft joystick axis.

    Are you connecting your devices to usb3 or usb2 ports? If using usb3, maybe try switching to usb2 ports instead

    I was using USB 3 but this time files are related to controllers connected to USB2

    If you have done anything yet, first try this:
     - unplug your devices
     - backup your registry
     - run the .reg file again
     - remove the drivers for your X55 using the windows device manager
     - reboot
     - connect your devices. Let windows install the default drivers
    - start P3D/FSUIPC, load an aircraft, then shut down
    - show me your 3 files, the .ini, .log and .JoyScan.csv files

    Good morning John,

    I was asleep when you replied, therefore I did not anything else than the above checklist.

    you can try manually setting/changing the joystick using a program called JoyIds.

    When I click here, I reach a page from Air Group 52 within which there is no link to download the software... But I could find something with the same name here, expecting that is is the same. 

    I ran the program and swapped ID2 to ID1. The result in P3D is that none of the controllers reacts...

    Are you sure you don't have the saitek/logitech drivers installed, or are running any saitek control software

    I forgot to answer this... I have no driver installed and no Saitek program installed... The only third-party running with P3D is EZCA v3

    .are you unplugging your devices?

    Not since I shut down P3D this morning.

    After doing in sequence:

    1. Unplugged the controllers
    2. Run removeX55.reg
    3. Launch P3D/FSUIPC. At this stage, there was a problem with the stick being assigned the throttle command (same as above) and my throttle controller not being detected.
    4. Shutdown P3D and changing AutoAssignLetters to Yes
    5. Relaunched P3D (situation of controllers still the same as above)
    6. Shut down P3D and attached are the 2 files.

    UNFORTUNATELY, I am back to the starting point...

    I just relaunched my sim for a flight but notice that my throttle does not react and my stick is moving the throttle on the Z axis.

    I therefore checked my .ini file that still shows assignments but the .log file shows the same warning

    And I don't understand why the file that I sent you this morning is already corrupted because the same warning is there...

    Good morning,

    Exited by your latest posts, I spent some time this "my morning" to apply your proposed solutions:

    1. Disable the controller within P3D
    2. Sent direct to FSUIPC calibration
    3. Assign control to the controller
    4. Tick the box No Reverse Zone

    All is perfectly working... 

    Then I have assigned all commands to the different axis and buttons and all work perfectly...

    I could not find the Course Bug command to assign to a button as per done for Heading. Even searching in the Advanced guide, mainly because I am not familiar with the naming. Will try to grab information in the web though forums. If necessary, i might open a new post to ask for assistance.

    I think that we can consider that my problem is resolved and I want to thank you very much for your patience while helping me. Much appreciated.

    Cheers

    And as well as what Pete has said about using the AXIS_THROTTLE controls with NRZ checked, you should also try assigning 'Direct to FSUIPC Calibration' rather than 'Send to FS as normal axis' if calibrating in FSUIPC.  This generally works better for most aircraft, but if the a/c implements its own throttle calibration system (which can happen in more complex add-on aircraft), then you should use 'Send to FS as normal axis' as there can be timing issues with different values (calibrated and uncalibrated) going to the sim causing jittering on the axis.

    I will do that tomorrow... and will get back to you again.

    Thanks for your efforts to assist me.
