Thank you for the hint! At the end it was not a faulty button, but one of the Saitek Throttle Quadrants was not properly connected to an USB hub. After connecting in a right way, there is no problem anymore.

I had re-installed P3Dv5.1 (newest version) and updated to FSUIPC 6.1.0. The recognition of axes and their calibration is working fine. But I don't have any success with buttons and switches (from Saitek Throttle Quadrants, GoFlight modules, buttons of my Brunner yoke). When opening the buttons & switches page, there is yoke # 1, button # 6 displayed. When I press any other button or switch, there is no reaction. So I cannot program them. I enclose the log file. FSUIPC6.log

Thank you so much, Pete and John! I was able to solve the problem by pressing all buttons on my Saitek throttles. Now everything is working just fine again. Best regards Arndt

Enclosed the Log file FSUIPC5.log

I have the problem, that unit # / button # are only shown for the fraction of a second, then I press a button (GoFlight modules, Saitek throttle, Brunner yoke). After this fraction of a second, the display always is "jumping back" to the value 1 / 7. Therefore it is impossible to programm any button. This problem is only with buttons. Axes are working fine. I am sure, that my FSUIPC installation is fine (Windows 10, P3D v4.5). Especially I have installed the dll for GoFlight modules. Any idea to solve this problem?

Thank you, Thomas! Much appreciated! (oder auf gut Deutsch: Vielen Dank, Thomas!)

Sorry to bother you, Pete. Of course I had made a Google search before questioning in the forum.

Hello Pete, I tried to locate the SayStatic program on http://code.google.com/p/raptor-chess-interface/downloads/detail?name=SayStatic.exe&can=2&q=, but I didn't found it. Can you help me out? Kind regards Arndt

Pete, I believe, our definitions of hanging are identical: I am starting the program, the first window 'Prepar3D is showing up, then at a RAM usage of around 70 MB, CPU usage is going down to 0%, the selection window (for selecting airport, plane, ...) is not showing up, this condition is remaining constant, and I have to end the P3D process via the task manager. Therefore the information in the log file about frames is not correct: I do not reach the level of a flight. And the P3D process doesn't terminate 'normally', when P3D is hanging. My interpretation is, that FSUIPC is conflicting with something. Not always, but mostly. Unfortunately I don't find the 'devil'... Thank you for all your efforts! And sorry; if I haven't been clear all the time, but English is not by mother's language... Arndt

I now finished the process of elimination. I erased all dll's and exe's, starting with P3D (I cannot imagine, that FSUIPC is conflicting with sceneries). And the end I erased FSUIPC. And now it is clear: if FSUIPC isn't there, my P3D is starting without problems. If it is there, the starting process is hanging. I even erased all FSUIPS files and did a new install. Same result. But I don't know, why I have this effect. I am working with FSUIPC for decades, without problems. I think, that I need a complete reinstall of everything. Arndt

It a software producer, called pollypot software. So far, I wasn't aware of any network connection. Arndt P.S.: www.pollypotsoftware.org.uk

Unfortunately I am not a programmer ... GIT means GoFlight Interface Tool. It is enabling owners of GoFlight modules to put a wider range of programs to the buttons, knobs, etv. of this GoFlight modules. I already erased GIT, but there is no positive effect. Arndt

Here are the two lua files. I am trying now this process of elimination. Arndt ipcinit.zip gitlua.zip

I followed your recommendations (thank you very much!) , but without success. Either P3D is hanging after start and does not reach the initial menu, or it is reaching the initial menu without any problems. There seems to be no logic. I even tried the repair function of P3D, but again without success. What changes had I conducted over the last weeks? Some new sceneries, and I updated P3D to the newest version. Arndt

Hello, over the last days I had severe problems to start P3D. in approximately 50 % of the cases the start process of P3D is stopping after a few seconds. These problems seem to be related to FSUIPC. If I disable FsUIPC, these problems don't exist. I am using Windows 10 64bit, P3D 3.3.5.17625 and FSUIPC4995j. Here is the log file of an unsuccessful start of FSUIPC: ********* FSUIPC4, Version 4.955j (30th August 2016) by Pete Dowson ********* Windows version reported as 6.2.?.9200 Prepar3D.exe version = 3.3.5.17625 Reading options from "D:\Prepar3D v3\Modules\FSUIPC4.ini" Running inside Prepar3D v3 on Windows 8.0 or later Module base=57870000 User Name="Arndt Laube" User Addr="laube54@gmx.de" FSUIPC4 Key is provided WIDEFS7 not user registered, or expired 15 System time = 31/08/2016 16:41:05 15 FLT path = "C:\Users\Arndt777\Documents\Prepar3D v3 Files\" 15 ------ Module Version Check ------ 15 acontain.dll: 3.3.5.17625 15 api.dll: 3.3.5.17625 15 controls.dll: 3.3.5.17625 15 fs-traffic.dll: 3.3.5.17625 15 G3D.dll: 3.3.5.17625 15 language.dll: 3.3.5.17625 15 sim1.dll: 3.3.5.17625 15 visualfx.dll: 3.3.5.17625 15 weather.dll: 3.3.5.17625 15 window.dll: 3.3.5.17625 15 ---------------------------------- 15 Trying D:\Prepar3D v3\Modules\SimConnectP3D3.dll 15 Found it: trying to connect 15 FS path = "D:\Prepar3D v3\" 187 ---------------------- Joystick Device Scan ----------------------- 203 Product= Saitek Pro Flight Quadrant 203 Manufacturer= Saitek 203 Vendor=06A3, Product=0C2D (Version 2.1) 203 Serial Number= Saitek 203 Product= vJoy - Virtual Joystick 203 Manufacturer= Shaul Eizikovich 203 Vendor=1234, Product=BEAD (Version 2.5) 203 Serial Number= 2.0.5 203 Product= PFC MFD Rudder Pedals 218 Manufacturer= Precision Flight Controls, Inc. 218 Vendor=0689, Product=D010 (Version 2.0) 218 Serial Number= Precision Flight Controls, Inc. 234 Product= Saitek Pro Flight Quadrant 234 Manufacturer= Saitek 234 Vendor=06A3, Product=0C2D (Version 2.1) 234 Serial Number= Saitek 234 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 250 LogOptions=00000000 00000001 250 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 250 ------ Setting the hooks and direct calls into the simulator ------ 250 --- CONTROLS timer memory location obtained ok 250 --- SIM1 Frictions access gained 250 --- FS Controls Table located ok 250 --- Installed Mouse Macro hooks ok. 250 --- Wind smoothing fix is installed 250 --- SimConnect intercept for texts and menus option is off 250 --- All links okay (except older global weather setting method) 250 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 250 SimConnect_Open succeeded: waiting to check version okay 250 Trying to use SimConnect Prepar3D 35187 Running in "Lockheed Martin® Prepar3D® v3", Version: 3.3.3.3 (SimConnect: 3.3.0.0) 35187 Initialising SimConnect data requests now 35187 FSUIPC Menu entry added 35187 LUA.0: beginning "D:\Prepar3D v3\Modules\ipcInit.lua" 35187 LUA.0: ended "D:\Prepar3D v3\Modules\ipcInit.lua" 35203 LUA.1: server: waiting for client connection... 35218 C:\Users\Arndt777\Documents\Prepar3D v3 Files\Start Duke B60.fxml 35218 D:\Prepar3D v3\SimObjects\Airplanes\RealAir Duke B60 V2\RealAir_Duke.air 163093 === NOTE: not calling SimConnect_Close ... 164093 System time = 31/08/2016 16:43:49 164093 *** FSUIPC log file being closed Minimum frame rate was 32768.0 fps, Maximum was 0.0 fps Minimum available memory recorded was 32768Mb Maximum AI traffic for session was 1 aircraft Memory managed: 5 Allocs, 5 Freed ********* FSUIPC Log file closed *********** And here you find the dll.xml: ?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?> <SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0"> <Descr>Launch</Descr> <Filename>dll.xml</Filename> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad> <Launch.Addon> <Name>ObjectFlow</Name> <Path>D:\Prepar3D v3\ORBX\FTX_AU\FTXAA_ORBXLIBS\Scenery\ObjectFlow_P3D.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Name>Sode</Name> <Path>D:\12bPilot\SODE\SimObjectAnimationModule.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Name>FSUIPC 4</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>Modules\FSUIPC4.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> </SimBase.Document> Can you detect from this information the cause of my problem?

Thank you, Pete! It's working perfectly. Regards Arndt

Hello Pete, thank you very much for your fast reaction. I have installed 4.939c. Unfortunately it repeatedly caused a CTD at startup of P3D, and so I had to disable the modules folder within my P3D 2.5. installation. Kind regards Arndt

Hello, there is a new download version of P3D, 2.5.12943.0. I tried to install FSUIPC 4.939, but it does not recognize the new download version of P3D 2.5. Kindest regards Arndt

Hello Andy, many thanks! You are right: shift+ctrl+x is the same as crtl+shift+x! I didn't know this before. Kindest regards Arndt
