Hi, when you start a program (Process) via WideClient, you need to close it as well via WideClient befor you can start it again via WideClient. The reason is that WideClient doesn't see any reason to start the same Process again when it already running and wasn't closed. WideClient remembers that it didn't closed the process and so it believes it is still running. When you define also a button or key to send the Close function then you will be able to restart the same process again.

Hi, on SimKits page (www.simkits.com) --> Support --> Software Centre (http://www.simkits.com/software.php) you will find their driver software for their devices. If you use those they connect via USB, each instrument, then you need their Simkits USB Aircraft Gauge setup software (http://www.simkits.com/downloads/software/SimkitsUSB127.zip) It contains the software to drive the instruments from Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002, 2004 (FSUIPC needed) or Flight Simulator X Deluxe Version (FSUIPC not needed) and the software to calibrate the gauges. It has been updated from the previous version to support Windows Vista 32-bit and 64-bit and contains the value for a G-Force gauge. This version number is 1.27 and the date of release is September 1, 2011. Some minor bugs have been solved and Rotor RPM Gauge function code has been changed.

Hi Luis, Windows 7 for example, C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\DLL.XML or for LM v2 C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2\DLL.XML

Hi Luis, you can do this. Modules folder inside FS is just the easiest and best way to know where evrything of FSUIPC/WideFS is located. Just edit the DLL.XML file with full path to its location for example: original: <Path>Modules\FSUIPC4.dll</Path> If you for example install the Modules folder (or what ever name to choose) on Z: drive. In this case here I used a LAN Network drive without any trouble. new: <Path>Z:\Modules\FSUIPC4.dll</Path> That works without any problem.

Hi, easiest way is to use a different browser than Internet Explorer (MS). e.g. Mozilla Firfox

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.

Hi, mixture in A2A 172 is the default mixture lever you use in FSX as well, same axis.

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).

Hi, just check Lua for that. You will find lots of examples for use and of course a manual in FSUIPC download section.

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

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.

Hi, just take a look into FSUIPC SDK, there is a file FSUIPC feedback control.txt that might help already?

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.

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.

Hi Pete, In case their product was developed and tested by as well actual pilots it should be ok, may be corrected for the market. Actually I did fly a C172 and can confirm that their sensitivity of the aileron is far out.

Hi, as Pete already said just tune the value in aircraft.cfg file. I use a value of 2.800 here (original it is 1.000) for the A2A 172 [flight_tuning] ... aileron_effectiveness=2.800 ...

Hi Pete, it's not only the schiratti page, the PM page (www.projectmagenta.com) is down as well. Must be a server problem ...

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!

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
