Rudder locked not moving

Hi, easiest way is to use a different browser than Internet Explorer (MS). e.g. Mozilla Firfox -
FSUIPC error on FSX startup
Thomas Richter replied to Portanav's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Hi, it's just the window that pops up with any knew FSUIPC update when you run it the first time, just click OK because you want to run FSUIPC. It should come up another message to confirm as well. It is not an Error Message because FSUIPC didn't even start to run. -
No mixture with A2A 172
Thomas Richter replied to rockliffe's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Hi, mixture in A2A 172 is the default mixture lever you use in FSX as well, same axis. -
FSUIPC wont run when i run fsx
Thomas Richter replied to Dougie51's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Hi, don't forget you cannot write an file type INI to C:\Program Files ... under Win7. And the original example from MS and also from LM doesn't work because they want to write to C:\ that doesn't work either under Win7. -
Hi, SW / UB ... is the size/Type of offset you want to read or write to, e.g. UB = Unsigned Byte. There is no action needed on both, FSUIPC and WideClient. When you want to place the Lua plugin on the client then just place the file in the WideClient folder and WideClient will start it automatically when FS connects. There are also different start options (described in the manual) but that is the easiest one. As you can see it is not a big deal ... -- Initializing flags -- val=0 -- Convert AT value from 0 to 7 to 1/0 function atIn(offset, value) if (value>0) and (value<7) then val=1 else val=0 end ipc.writeUB(0x66C0,val) end -- AT Command value 0 to 7 event.offset(0x94DE,"UB","atIn") Offset 66C0 is in a FREE range of Offsets. The file to place in WideClient folder you can get from this link, just unzip and drag. AT_Convert.lua

Hi, Lua is a programming language and a script / plugIn you write runs in FSUIPC. So with couple if ... then .. end you can catch the Offset with value 0 to 7 and write to an free offset of your choice the bool value ON/ OFF that will be handled in FSPhidgets. So read offset, decide the result for the new Offset (ON/OFF) and write that to this Offset. read Offset_IN If ((Offset_IN > 0) and (Offset_IN < 7)) then Offset_OUT = 1 else Offset_OUT = 0 endif write Offset_OUT This is not exactly what you write in Lua but close to, check the correct Lua-syntax. It is really not more needed than that, value 0 and 7 results in OFF (0) and any inbetween results in ON (1).

Control Axis/Calibration issues
Thomas Richter replied to Jamil Martin's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Hi, what does the rudder show in Windows GameController? Did you calibrate the rudder pedals in windows, because FSUIPC gets from Windows the value? -
Hi, really? It's third line from top, Download Links then Updated modules

Problem reading value of flaps axis
Thomas Richter replied to femedici's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Hi, 1) make sure you use latest FSUIPC version 4.934 2) you don't say from which Offset you get those values or to which Offset the Throttle writes those values 3) check this info to calculate the values the throttle has to write 0BDC, 4, Flaps control, 0=up, 16383=full. The “notches” for different aircraft are spaced equally across this range: calculate the increment by 16383/(number of positions-1), ignoring fractions. See also offset 3BFA below. N.B. Do not expect to read this and see 100% accurate values. -
FSUIPC and Control Loading
Thomas Richter replied to InMotion's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Hi, just take a look into FSUIPC SDK, there is a file FSUIPC feedback control.txt that might help already? -
Question about FSUIPC version 4.10
Thomas Richter replied to paulwayne's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Hi, FSUIPC 4.10 is already a very old version and shouldn't be installed over a newer version by a installer. Just run latest installer of FSUIPC 4.934 from download section above, that will install latest version with latest manual. The manual is then located in Moduls folder of FSX/P3D in subfolder Documents. When you start then FSX it will ask you to run this DLL, you click Yes/ Confirm. -
Hi, just install latest FSUIPC version from download section above, FSUIPC 4.934.

PFChid.dll + P3D v2.2
Thomas Richter replied to SBaker's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Hi Pete, 2. The controller PFC Cirrus C II Pro is seen in windows with 8 axis and 8 Buttons but no axis is used, they are all in position zero. Only two buttons are used, the two positions of CWS switch. I had once running the PFC configuration program and there you can decide if the axis are Joystick axis or internal handled with your hid driver. All axis here included AIL and ELV are handled by your driver only, I didn't change any configuration. 4. Because of the above I have Controllers disabled in FSX & P3D and Rudder (Bodnar) in FSUIPC calibrated. -
FSUIPC website down

Hi Pete, it's not only the schiratti page, the PM page (www.projectmagenta.com) is down as well. Must be a server problem ... -
PFC Throttle Quadran / FUIPC calibration
Thomas Richter replied to Philco's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Hi, 1. you don't use both version, only the one that is needed for your hardware (Hid version for USB hardware) 2. the file (dll or dll + mrco) goes just into FSUIPC's Modules folder, e.g. if the FSX folder is C\:FSX so it goes into C\:FSX\Modules This is a copy out of PfcHid.dll User guide.pdf that comes with the Hid version, so make sure you have a registered FSUIPC4 version Installation Install FSUIPC first according to its own instructions. You need FSUIPC3 (at least version 3.90) for FS9, and FSUIPC4 (at least 4.52) for FSX and ESP. If you are planning to customise your use of any of the facilities on your PFC HID device you will need to purchase a Key for FSUIPC and register it. So doing will actually also allow functions on other PFC HID devices to be utilised even though direct support is not yet provided in this driver. After installing FSUIPC correctly, simply copy the PFChid.DLL file into your flight simulator Modules folder. That’s it! -
Ivap (ivao) and PTT button on yoke
Thomas Richter replied to rene_1st's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Hi, just use Scroll Lock key instead as shown below. Scroll Lock is in FS as well used to open the ATC window, that has to be removed from definition in FS. -
Hi, FSUIPC can only (apart from the ones sent by Offset like PFC) see axes Windows does see. So any axes not or not correct seen by Windows will behave like that of course in FSUIPC. First control Windows Joystick control panel and re-calibrate. Only a correct in Windows seen axis can be seen correct in FSUIPC.

Hi, yes here in the forum above! Download Links then Updated Moduls and there you will find those links PFC driver version 2.41 for FS9 and earlier PFC 2.41 PFCFSX driver version 4.41 for FSX, ESP and P3D PFCFSX 4.41 PFC HID device driver version 1.36 for FS9, FSX, ESP and P3D PFCHID 1.36 -

WideClient LUA Script
Thomas Richter replied to sikorsky77's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Hi, this is copied from FSUIPC Lua Plug-Ins.pdf. As you can see on WideClient you just drop a Lua file into its folder and it will run as soon WideClient connects to FS. You also can run it before FS connects by naming it INITIAL.LUA . Can I run Lua plug-ins on a WideFS client PC? Yes. Such facilities have now been added. Since version 6.81, WideClient automatically runs any Lua programs it finds in its own folder (i.e. the folder containing the WideClient.exe being used). These are started only after WideClient is fully connected to FS on the server PC. Additionally, WideClient will look for a Lua program called "Initial.lua" when it first starts up. This will run immediately, before any access to FS and FSUIPC is obtained, so it should not be used for anything dependent upon valid offset values. It can run other Lua programs, using the "ipc.runlua" function, but they will need to be located elsewhere—not in the WideClient folder—or else they will be restarted when FS is connected. The INITIAL.LUA program is not re-run later and is the only exception. Note that the library support for Lua on WideClient is a subset of that provided in FSUIPC. The library document highlights those functions omitted in WideClient. -
Hi, once you did pay for FSUIPC4 there is no need to register/ pay again for updates, as long it is the same main version (4.xxx). It also installs automatic into FSX, P3D and P3dv2 if on that PC installed. Version 4.929 is an update to any older version of FSUIPC4. As you have version 4.90 installed you need to run the installer (as administrator, mouse right-click on it). You will find it under Download Links --> Updated modules You will not lose any settings!
