[FSUIPC error]

Hi John,

  Please see attached screen cap.  Can you suggest a way to prevent this error. 

  The error appears very infrequently;  but when it does it causes FSX to

freeze.  The block title of the error message refers to the software "kACARS".

I do not remember installing it.  Perhaps it's malware  ~:)  Are you familiar

with kACARS.  I fly with Canada Air Virtual AL and use their ACARS

software (CavACARS).

  Thank you and Pete again for the awesome FSUPC software and other

utilities for our flight sims...

Best regards,

Hi,

  Below is an ini profile section to help illustrate my question.

  In the [Keys.Majestic Q400] sub section (below) what do the "2" and the "6" at the beginning of their lines

represent?

Thank you,

[FSX CS B727-200 Flight Engineers Panel ID]

  Thank you for the great explanation Pete. I understand,  and will stop chasing my tail ~:)

I like flying that CS B727 and love the CIVA INS;  however their panel features could have been

better implemented (IMO). 

  I still miss flying the VMAX B742 with the triple redundant CIVA INS  (and realistic fuel management). 

Would have been nice if VMAX had brought it along to FSX, but alas ............

All the best,

Ken

[FSX CS B727-200 Flight Engineers Panel ID]

Thank you for helping with this Pete.

Both the Overhead panel and the Engineers panel are listed on the FSX Views\New Views\Cockpit pull down menu

and I can make them popup / appear when they are selected from there; however I can find no reference to either of

them in the Panel.cfg file. The Overhead panel is listed in your post (above) as Code 250, but I cannot get it to pop-up

by setting it to Control \ Panel ID Toggle using the FSUIPC Options and Settings "Key Presses Tab". If you can offer any

suggestions for something else to try that would be much appreciated. 

  Attached are some screen caps, the B722 panel.cfg and my FSUIPC.ini file.

Best regards,

Ken

panel.cfg FSUIPC4.ini

[FSX CS B727-200 Flight Engineers Panel ID]

Hi,

  I'd like to create a toggle for the subject panel (and the overhead panel) for this aircraft.

I believe the overhead panel SDK code is '250";  however I don't know what code to use for

the engineer's panel or even if there is a code for it.  Ideally I would like to be able to toggle

both of these panels open and closed by pressing keys on my CH controllers.  I have done

this sort of thing before so if my rememberer will cooperate I may be able to do it again

if there is a code available for the Engineer's Panel.

Best regards

[Aircraft Window \ Aircraft Speeds question (answered)]

To all,

  Do the subject speeds (climb, cruise and descent) represent Indicated (IAS) or True (TAS) ?

Thank you,

[MakeRwys question]

Thank you for the quick reply and for the MakeRwys information.

Best regards,

[MakeRwys question]

Ref > My specs are FSX Acceleration running in Win 7-64

The download page recommends MakeRwys Version 4.7.0 for FSX users running in the Win 7 environment.

I have been using MakeRwys ver 4.9.1.0 for some months without noticing any obvious problems.

Have I been perhaps experiencing problems which aren't so obvious ?  ~:)

  Just trying to ensure that I am getting the best from MakeRwys.

[Wind speed and direction data displayed on FSC 10 Rev 5 map for an FSX flight (answered)]

Hi,

What enables the current wind speed and direction to appear in the top left hand corner of the Map ?

Is there some sort of automatic connection of FSC to Simconnect for this data or perhaps FSC reads

the data directly from FSX ?  I use AS Next for my weather.  Is it involved in the display of this data

on the FSC Map ?

Best to all,

Ken

[RCV4 / FSUIPC error message]

    Many thanks for all of the insight and suggestions Pete.  The QW plane is quite the (FSX) VAS hog

so it doesn't surprise me that it is suspect regarding other issues.  I do like to fly the plane though. 

    I will certainly give your suggestions a try.

Best regards,

Ken

[RCV4 / FSUIPC error message]

Hi Pete,

  The error states >>

"fsuipc, wait. can't get D008 to change from 32677733 always 32677733"

Has only happened two times and I was flying the QW B788 both times so

perhaps the plane has something to do with it.  Ray told me to contact you ~:)

Best regards,

Ken

[RCV4 / FSUIPC error message]

Please see screen cap of the error at the link below.  I have not seen this before over my many years of

RCV4 usage.  I've seen it twice in past three days and afterwards RCV4 stops responding.  Has anyone else 

experienced this who can explain what it means or how to avoid the problem ?  I use RCV4 via WideFS

with FSX and Win 7-64.  It happened while flying the QW B788.

Many thanks for the fast reply Volker.  That took care of it ~:)

[FSC Ver10, no Fix Labels (answered)]

What would cause the (gps) fixes (pyramids) to be present on the map without their labels ?  They were there before when the map range

was set to 50nm or less.  But not now.

Thank you,

[Issue assigning "Steering Set" to CH Throt mini Stk X axis]

Well,  seems I spoke too soon.  Worked great once and then didn't work.  So I've set the mini mouse axis to the Rudder control in FSX

Controller Setup and for now I'll just live with rudder moving with nose wheel >  with luck,  in the same direction (and correct direction ~:) 

Best to all,

Ken

[Issue assigning "Steering Set" to CH Throt mini Stk X axis]

It would seem that at some point someone  (perhaps even me > face is red now 🤡) had disabled

the mini stick axes in the (advanced) FSX Throttle settings.  After resetting the CH Throttle axis

setting to default,  the FSUIPC axis assignment for "Steering Set " worked as normal and it

works great !  >  NW  steering  without rudder movement. 

  Thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction,  and thanks again for the indispensable

FSUIPC software.

Best to all,

Ken

[Issue assigning "Steering Set" to CH Throt mini Stk X axis]

Thank you for all the fast replies and for the helpful tips and advice

I always calibrate the controller in CH Manager only Thomas.  Attached are the three files you suggested I submit.

Will follow up after trying John and Pete's suggestions.

[Issue assigning "Steering Set" to CH Throt mini Stk X axis]

To all, 

 I use FSX Acceleration in Win 7-64 and Registered FSUIPC.

 I've been trying to use the "Axis Assignment" tab in the registered Ver of FSUIPC Ver 4.9.7.501 to assign the "Steering Set" option to my CH throttle's Mini Stick "X" axis.

With a "clear slate" ,  each time I move the mini stick in any direction to get a mini stick X (or Y) axis to populate the "Axis #" block,  only the throttle's "Z" axis will appear there.

For troubleshooting / testing I have tried disabling the throttle axis in the FSX options controller axis tab settings but get the same results.  Any tips or solutions for other

things to try  will be appreciated.

  Screen Cap attached.

Thank you,

[FSUIPC autosaves FSX]

Hi John,

I apologize for the delay in responding here.

Thank you for the tip. Just was looking for a more graceful / alternate way for my lazy self to use FSUIPC

to create permanent saves.  I think I found what I need in the FSUIPC interface.  It is the " Also Save to a Flight Called:  "

feature.  Screen Cap attached.

[FSC v10.0.5 Intro pop-up persistance issue (solved by user)]

Thanks so much Volker.  No need tlo back up the files now ~:)  But I'll save the information in case I need it later. 

I have been starting FSC from a batch file which also starts other utilities which I had been closing before

FSC had finished starting.  When I let FSC finish starting and THEN close the utilities the FSC Intro pop-up

vanishes.  You "hit the nail right on the head" and I sure appreciate it..

Best to you and your programmer,

Ken

 

[FSC v10.0.5 Intro pop-up persistance issue (solved by user)]

Thank you for responding Volker. I may try a reinstall of FSC.  Which folders would you recommend backing up prior to reinstalling ?  I have 3

in mind,  but I'll wait for your recommendation.

Best regards,

Ken

[FSC v10.0.5 Intro pop-up persistance issue (solved by user)]

To all,

  I use FS Commander Version 10.0.5 with FSX Acceleration in Win 7-64.

FSC starts and runs as normal;  however the small intro window is

remaining open and insists on being “on top” on my main monitor screen

(I use two monitors).

  Is there some setting I can make, either in the FSC UI or in a  .ini file

perhaps,  to force the FSC Intro window to close after FSC startup ?  I looked

through the FSC.ini file for a line such as “ Show_Intro=0 “ (or 1) but I

found nothing similar to that.

Thank you,

Ken Boardman
