Will do.

In prior versions of FSUIPC I could open the task manager and find the IPC*** file and manually close it when FSUIPC had shut down but wouldn't allow restarting saying it was still running. With this latest version I don't find that IPC*** file running in the task manager but still get can't restart FSUIPC. Maybe there is another task running that is causing this.

Allows operation of the Microsoft/WorkingTitle Garmin GNS530 via the button presses and knob turning on the Precision Flight Controls PFC430 hardware. Must have current PFChid64 installed. PFC.mcro

I have the most recent Mobiflight installed and when I install the WASM module it tells me I have the most recent one installed. The odd thing is the Mobiflight events were working if I assigned them in FSUIPC, I copied and pasted those assignments into the PFC.MCRO file and they wouldn't work. I cannot express enough how happy I am to have this working now.

VICTORY!!! Problem solved, it was using the Mobiflight.evt files for programming. They do work in FSUIPC but not with the PFChid part. I reprogrammed the radio stack buttons in FSUIPC for the commands in the events.txt file and then copied and pasted those over to the PFC.MCRO file making sure all Mobiflight commands had been erased or replaced. The unit is fully functional now and I am very pleased. It has been quite the learning curve working with it. I thank you John and Peter for your patience and guidance. I have attached the PFC.MCRO file PFC.mcro

It sounds like you are getting this to work on your computer. I did notice that the Mobiflight commands I am using are not coming from an events.txt type file, they are in a .evt file. I have attached the two files I have in my FSUIPC folder for Mobiflight events. Do I need to define these commands in another way? MobiFlight-Events2.evt MobiFlight-Events1.evt

Changed names in PFC.MCRO by copying and pasting from PFCmacroIndex.csv Still no joy getting it to work. I am out of time but will continue working with this later tonight (my time), and switch back to the events. PFCHidlog.txt PFC.mcro FSUIPC7.log

OK... I just changed all the assignments to the one I know works and found that only the CDI button is working. I had renamed based on an earlier test run with the HIDtest but will change back to the ones listed earlier and retest.

I changed the events that weren't working to presets per your instructions and this is the new FSUIPC.log PFC.mcro FSUIPC7.log

Here are the log files. It would seem only the CDI button press is being picked up. I am sending the current PFC.MCRO file as well. PFCHidlog.txt PFChid64.ini PFC.mcro FSUIPC7.log FSUIPC7.ini

Will be able to do in a couple hours.

I have waited since the release of MSFS2020 for either RealityXP to be compatible or a functional enough GNS530/430 simulation (like the Working Titles) that would allow me to use this expensive hardware with. I can certainly wait a day or two more. Thank you.

The MSFS Garmin GNS530/430 don't have presets that I am aware of since it started out as an add on from Working Titles. Mobiflight utilized WASM and FSUIPC to allow home cockpit builders to operate but through those events. Those are the only commands that would make sense to use on this facsimile of a Garmin GNS430 face.

Your work is appreciated and we are fortunate that it still works in Windows 10. I've owned the PFC hardware since 2007 and with over 3,300 hours on the Hobbs I am lucky it all still works... I've replace a couple switches that wore out, replaced a couple broken springs for the yoke, replaced worn out pots in the rudder pedals, and recently the circuit board stopped reliably sending power to the radio stack but fortunately the radio stack can be powered independently. The replacement cost is staggering!

Didn't work. Added: [WAPI] EnableWAPI=Yes [EventFiles] 0=MobiFlight-Events1 1=MobiFlight-Events2 to PFChid64.ini and made no difference Hopefully John will have some ideas.
