  6. FSUIPC4 won't be extracted from zip file

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    Hi,

    sorry but there is no shouting at all. You are just writing under a topic that has nothing to do with your problem and you should have just opened a new topic because no one would expect a key problem here.

    But anyway the key information is copied from SimMarket page (FSUIPC) and if you cannot find they in your account information as they describe you will have to open a Ticket on their page

    http://secure.simmarket.com/ticket_create.php

    The support forum cannot help for sales problems. I really would wait up to 24 hours within you normally should get the key (my own experience).

    NOT RELATED TO THIS TOPIC AT ALL!! PLEASE OPEN ALSWAYS A NEW TOPIC IF IT HAS ABSOLUTE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT WHERE YOU PLACED IT LIKE IN THIS CASE!

    How long did it take for your Registration key to be emailed?  Its been over an hour for me and nothing.   Very disappointed and really would like to see if GPSout works with Garmin and Foreflight as described.   I Sim fly all my flight plans prior to the real thing, adding this GPS immersion will be fantastic if they actually send the code.   Frustrated, and busy...  waiting on a code i expected to arrive with purchase is somewhat unacceptable in today's techno age.

     

    Did you check that Simmarket's procedure didn't work and nothing is shown in your account ?

    Hi,

    the only place where you can officially download the installer for FSUIPC and other Modules from Pete Dowson is here above the forum Download Links -> Updated Modules and

    http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.

    However this is the download link for latest installer of FSUIPC4, Install FSUIPC4.955c

    The only place where you can buy a registration key is SimMarket.

    The downloaded ZIP file contains three files: FSUIPC4 Changes.pdf, Install_FSUIPC4.exe and the most important Installing and Registering FSUIPC4.pdf.

    Make sure you read the very short installation guide first before trying to install.

  10. problem throttle mapping 1,2 throttle > 3,4 engine

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Hi,

    you should have noticed that your INI file shows very clear you have for default AC's the Throttle-HOTAS Warthog assigned but for the PMDG the Joystick-HOTAS Warthog with same axis (Z, R) !? 

    [JoyNames]
AutoAssignLetters=No
A=Joystick - HOTAS Warthog
B=Throttle - HOTAS Warthog
C=Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals
0=Joystick - HOTAS Warthog
0.GUID={B8AFA370-1A90-11E6-8001-444553540000}
1=Throttle - HOTAS Warthog
1.GUID={B8AFCA80-1A90-11E6-8002-444553540000}
2=Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals
2.GUID={B8B08DD0-1A90-11E6-8007-444553540000}
...
[Axes]
...
3=BZ,256,D,10,0,0,0	-{ DIRECT: Throttle2 }-
4=BR,256,D,9,0,0,0	-{ DIRECT: Throttle1 }-
...
[Axes.FSX B747]
RangeRepeatRate=10
0=0Z,256,D,10,0,0,0	-{ DIRECT: Throttle2 }-
1=0R,256,D,9,0,0,0	-{ DIRECT: Throttle1 }-

    For default you use controller B (1) but for PMDG you use controller 0 (A)

  11. FSUIPC IVAP FS2004

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    In case neither log file shows an error, is this IVAP interface installed on FS PC or on a client?

    Is there maybe a different interface for FS9 and you use a newer version that doesn't support FS9?

    As you say in your first email the interface gives an error that it cannot connect to FSUIPC, does it run with the same privileges as FS9 does?

    Hi,

    if you just want to write values that your program reads like in a switch(){ case: ... break;} decision, you would write the values in a logical way for the keys, clockwise or anti-clockwise.

    Clockwise: up=1, right=2, down=3, left=4

    Anti-clockwise: up=1, left=2, down=3, right=4

  19. buttons & switches cfg not sticking

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    Hi,

    First you should have started a new topic with your problem instead of appended to this different one!

    Controller inputs are seen and sent to FS when they changed their status ON/OFF. That means nothing will sent when the status in FS changes compared to the controller input, only in the opposite way.

    You can set your controller input definition on Buttons + Switches page to Control to repeat while held then the ON position will repeated sent when the switch is in ON position.

    Normally when you leave the aircraft you switch everything to OFF and so when you re-enter a aircraft all switches will be conform with the saved flight. If you load a different AC not with a saved flight then FS/ P3D will decide in which position switches are.

    The only other way I can think of would be to write a Lua script that sets those switches to a defined position anytime you load an AC or reload a flight.

    Later:

    By looking at the manuals of Desktop Aviator switch panels you will for example find that exactly this problem is described ! 

    Default Positions: 
Before starting your copy of MS2004 or FSX, you must position the following toggle and rocker switches to the default settings:
- Master Alternator Rocker Switch to ON
- Master Battery Rocker Switch to ON
- Master Avionics Rocker Switch to ON
- Ignition Switch set to Magnetos BOTH

  20. Engine stall on FSX startup

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    Hi,

    FSUIPC doesn't do anything on its own, only what you ask for to do it.

    Make sure you have all needed things active that the engine can run:

    - available fuel in tanks
    - tank selector correct set
    - mixture to max
    - Engine Fuel Valve open

    In case most other aircrafts, I guess default ones, work correct it will have to do with standard setting you use that will not work in that add-on aircraft.

    Can you physically see that really all function in the profile are working correct in the cockpit of the aircraft? Add-on aircrafts very often don't use standard FS controls but there own programmed logic.

    I would recommend to remove the profile settings for the C208 and put them back one after each other to see which one causes the problem.

  21. wideFS client problems

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    In WideClient.ini you use those lines

    Keysend1 = 162.16; means Press left CTRL key
    Keysend2 = 162.24; means Release left CTRL key

    but you use a decimal ( . ) instead of a comma ( , ), so that will not work at all !

    It has to be like this

    Keysend1 = 162,16; means Press left CTRL key
    Keysend2 = 162,24; means Release left CTRL key

    The FSUIPC4 Install.log file doesn't help, it would be the FSUIPC4.log file, located in the same folder where you found the FSUIPC4.ini file.

    Please update also to latest FSUIPC4.955c , any older version cannot be supported.

    From WideClient.ini file remove the line ServerIPAddr=192.168.0.1 and make sure the ServerName is correct.

    ServerName=SERVER

  23. wideFS client problems

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    Hi, 

    I've never mentioned "WideServer". The thing on your client PC is called WideClient! The parameter is in the WideClient.INI file!
It is the Client PC, not the Server PC where you have the problem, right? Why would you ever think of changing anything on 
the Server? 

There is no "ClassInstance" parameter on the Server, because it is running inside FS. FS IS FS, it isn't WideClient trying to 
LOOK like FS!!!

    Didn't you read Pete's comment on that?

    You still show that you put the ClassInstance=1 parameter into the FSUIPC.ini file [WideServer] section !?

    What is anyway the intension to run a WideClient on the FS PC? What you want to control with the WideClient on the FS-PC that sends to FSUIPC on the same PC to send then something over the network to other WideClients?

    Maybe best would be to describe first very clear what you want to achieve.

  24. Throttle problem (Saitek quadrant)

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    Hi,

    very good so.

    Don't forget what Pete said about PMDG to define the Throttle lever 

    Are you testing with the PMDG 737NGX or 777X, by any chance? If so the only assignments which work correctly
are those to the normal Axis throttleN set controls, and you cannot use FSUIPC calibration. This is because
both those aircraft read the throttle axes directly, not from the normal FS input which FSUIPC feeds. The same
could conceivably apply to some other add-on aircraft, so always check things with default aircraft.

  25. Throttle problem (Saitek quadrant)

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Hi, 

    [Axes]
...
5=1Z,256,D,4,0,0,0    -{ DIRECT: Throttle }-
...

    the INI file shows that you have the you have the Z axis defined as throttle (one axis for all engines) for any aircraft that doesn't have an profile with its own throttle definition.

    Controller 1 is  1=Saitek Pro Flight Cessna Trim Wheel

    But then you will find in almost all defined profiles multiple definitions for Throttle (all engines) and separate definition for each engine on a different controller, two examples below!

    [Axes.Carenado BE58]
     RangeRepeatRate=10
     0=0X,256,D,7,0,0,0    -{ DIRECT: LeftBrake }-
     1=0Y,256,D,8,0,0,0    -{ DIRECT: RightBrake }-
     2=0R,256,D,3,0,0,0    -{ DIRECT: Rudder }-
     3=1X,256,D,21,0,0,0    -{ DIRECT: ElevatorTrim }-
     4=1Y,256,D,2,0,0,0    -{ DIRECT: Elevator }-
     5=1Z,256,D,4,0,0,0    -{ DIRECT: Throttle }-
     6=1U,256,D,5,0,0,0    -{ DIRECT: PropPitch }-
     7=1V,256,D,6,0,0,0    -{ DIRECT: Mixture }-
     8=2X,256,D,1,0,0,0    -{ DIRECT: Aileron }-
     9=2Y,256,D,2,0,0,0    -{ DIRECT: Elevator }-
     10=2Z,256,D,18,0,0,0    -{ DIRECT: PropPitch2 }-
     11=2U,256,D,13,0,0,0    -{ DIRECT: Mixture1 }-
     12=2V,256,D,14,0,0,0    -{ DIRECT: Mixture2 }-
     13=3X,256,D,9,0,0,0    -{ DIRECT: Throttle1 }-
     14=3Y,256,D,10,0,0,0    -{ DIRECT: Throttle2 }-
     15=3Z,256,D,17,0,0,0    -{ DIRECT: PropPitch1 }-

    [Axes.C185F]
     RangeRepeatRate=10
     0=0X,256,D,7,0,0,0
     1=0Y,256,D,8,0,0,0
     2=0R,256,D,3,0,0,0
     3=1X,256,D,21,0,0,0
     4=1Y,256,D,2,0,0,0
     5=1Z,256,D,4,0,0,0
     6=1U,256,D,5,0,0,0
     7=1V,256,D,6,0,0,0
     8=2X,256,D,1,0,0,0
     9=2Y,256,D,2,0,0,0
     10=2Z,256,D,4,0,0,0
     11=2U,256,D,5,0,0,0
     12=2V,256,D,6,0,0,0

    As I thought there are multiple definitions for throttle, where D,4 is all throttle and D,9 is throttle1 / D,10 is throttle2

    You might be better off to define those profiles new and use AutoAssignLetters=Yes.
