  1. Hi,

    THANK YOU !!!

    Yes, this behaviour was common for all aircrafts from the DR400 profile

    Your ini file has corrected everything and allowed me to set the brake axis like a charm.

    I really don't know why this happened, i didn't change the axis since a while.

    The only new thing in my setup was that it happened immediatly after pop out manager installation.

    Best regards

  2. Hi,

    I am using MSFS (store version) and Asobo cessna 172 classic, FSUIPC 7.3.19.

    My axes configurattion worked since years and I didn't change anything on my setup. Suddenly, I note a strange behaviour with my Cessna.

    The brakes are not correctly managed : I can scan the left brake and right brake axis, they are detected and I can assign them to a direct calibration.

    But in the calibration box, they appear "not assigned" and pressing "Set" has no effect, but the values change as always when i press the pedals. So, I cannot invert them and taxiing is a nightmare. This behaviour happens only for the brakes, the other axis react correctly when I press the "Set" button...

    So, I cannot invert the axis and when i press the pedals, the brakes are off, but the sim detects the pedal positions, My CH products rudder is functional.

    I have checked there is no control for the brakes in the MSFS config.

    I have tried to edit the ini file, copy and past the brake lines from another aircraft but no effect.

    Best regards

  3. Hi,

     

    I wanted to upgrade my P3d V4 and use FSUIPC with P3DV5.

     

    But the only things i have are the docs. There is no dll or key file in the modules folders 

     

    When i try installing again, it says it is still there and wants to uninstall before, what i did. Now i could reinstall and get the same confirmation it worked.

     

    So the former and long working installation in V4 is lost and the new wanted in V5 is not there.

     

    What's wrong ?

  4. Hi,

     

    I have change my PC and now fly only with P3D.

     

    So I've installed the last software. At nbegionning, it says that my old I/O module is not compatible :evil:. What can I do ?

     

    But my biggest difficulty is that i use a generic single needle gauge as an Angle Of Attck gauge, like there is one on the lear 45 pannel : at minimum value, the needle is at 9' clock, at maximum at 12h00. So, the positions between 09 and 12h00 are not used. After a lot of trying, i've obtained a good result.

     

    But now, no luck : I've set the different values and needle positions, created and affected a plate. When Simulator control is right, the needle goes to the 09h00 position as I want. But when P3D is running, aircraft on ground and no wind, the needle translates to 10h30, and voilà ! :oops:

     

     

    So a little how/to with screens could help :mrgreen:

     

    I attach a copy of my cfg (saved as txt, posting a cfg is not allowed)

     

    Best regards

  5. Hi,

    I have regularly same problems when assigning any function to A GF button. Part or all GF modules are freezed, FPS can some time be affected. Restarting FSX cannot change the state of the modules, Windows restaring cannot. I hve to stop the computer AND disconnect the electric power.

    So, I think this is USB power problem : there are too many modules on the same USB plug anywhere in the USB chain, OR an USB cabel is too long or has defect.

    Best regards

  6. Hi,

    Is there a way that FI software can work with Prepar3D ? I've got a complex hardware with FI gauges, Goflight modules and Project Magenta software. I see FSUIPC, PM and Goflight are P3D frendly. The last condition for me to convert to P3D is FI compliant software.

    Best regards

  8. Thak you for your quick help, i'll try it soon.

    But I have other difficulties :

    I would diplay current plane magheading on a GF45 :

    When I try this :

    D0=X2B00 F64 D-30

    The displayed value i correct at beginning, but when I change the heading, the display stops a few degrees before the good one, and so it stays false till the next turn when it refreshes the value and restops befor and of turning.

    I have trie a few other variables who have same behaviour

    What is the trick ?

    Best regards

  9. Hi,

    I have programmed leds for my GF-T8 module so :

    [GFT8.0]

    Needs=V16 B E

    B=2

    L0=X337D =1 ;De-ICE STRUCT size 1 on=1 off=0

    L1=X029C =1 ; pitot heat size 1 on=1 off=0

    L2=XD0C U16=32 ;panel lights size 2

    L3=XD0C U16=4 ;land l

    L4=XD0C U16=8 ;taxi lt

    L5=XD0C U16=1 ;nav lt

    L6=XD0C U16=2 ; beacon

    L7=XD0C U16=16 ; strobe

    But, leds 0 and 1 are working a moment, than go off without any action.

    I have a lot of ather situations like this ;

    I've found how to attach a led or display to a variable, but the led or the display are erratic, chnaged without reason, or affected when another led form same module changes its state.

    What do I wrong ?

    Best regards

    Denis

  10. Hi Mark,

    This works, I've changed the I/O card Id in that way.

    But what can I do with my other probs ?

    best Regards

    Denis

    for the changing of the ID, try to disconnect all other gauges and just connect the gauge you want to change the ID for.

    then search and change it in the configuration screen

    let me know if that works

    Mark

  11. Hi Simbuf,

    Thank you for your answer

    Hi Denis,

    The idea of a second setup to change elementary Gauge properties will only work with equal Gauge properties. The basic configuration settings, like Gauge ID, millibar /InchHg are saved in the gauge itself. This is done for efficiency reasons and to reduce overhead in the control program. Within this limitation a dual configuration for Master/Slave will work.

    In normal situations the Gauge is configured only once and the settings in the Gauge aren’t read-back from the gauge when re-opening the configuration window for that particular gauge. I agree that can lead to confusion, but that is the way it is currently programmed (for overhead reasons as mentioned before).

    So is there a special way to turn the settings back to default ?

    So, I advice to toggle the pressure mode and “air pressure effects...” settings , to make sure that the gauge is configured correctly. The latter setting should never be selected. This mode is for non-MS-FS applications.

    To check the “Air pressure effects …” : Turning the pressure knob will change the altitude directly. Even when control program isn’t running.

    To check the millibar / inHG: depress the air pressure knob for the default values ( 1013 or 29:92)

    The test button on the configuration window should result in showing all digits 0-9 in a loop. This must be the case in all modes and if an error or misreading occurs there must be something wrong with the gauge or power.

    I must say that since this test button exists, the digits are not functionning like I said in "slave mode". The test shows only "8888" and "10000" with all digits working, the steps of test don't display properly, only a portion of the digit is working. I see the same bug when I try to write to the gauge (read works fine)...

    In a double altimeter config, each one should have its own gauge ID

    There is no need to change com port number. This will have no effect on the problem.

    i have an other difficulty that could have anything to do with my prob : there is no way to change the gauge ID. Each time I try it (and that is right for my 6 modules), the driver says the gauge is not connected.

    In case this doesn’t work please send us both configuration files for analysis.

    best regards

    Denis

    all the best

  12. Hi

    I have serious difficulty to setup my digital altimeter. As it was running in slave mode for IVAO flights, it was fine working since a few weeks.

    So i wanted to make a second setup to return in master mode when flying offline. And from now, it never works correct : In master mode, the gauge don't send any pressure value to FSX, but the needle and display are working, showing different values as FS. But modifying pressure in FS makes the gauge working, not the good values, but the hardware is functionnig correctly.

    In slave mode, the display is bad : I have only the dot and a little part of the last altitude digit, with unstable brightness. (I always have this bug when I try to test display in the software, the only solution is to reset the card). So I don't understand what i'm doing wrong. I tested "slave", "master", "air pressure affects altitude", uninstalled and rescanned the gauge, nothing to do ; i've also tried to use another comport, but only the comport 3 is working.

    What can I do ?

    Best regards

    Denis

  13. Hi

    So I wanted to save a setup for IVAO flights and one to fly offline (also, digital altimeter as slave for the first and as master for offline).

    But , when switching from one to the other is bugging the digits !

    I can only have them working trough reset of the card. And froml now, my altimeter is only working as slave. The setup file shows the right setup I want, but in slave mode, the altimeter is working as slaven and in master, turning pressure affects pressure display, but has no effect on altitude needle and display. What's wrong ?

    Best regards

    Denis

  14. Hi all,

    I cannot use my digital altimeter with IVAO. When I connect IVAO, after a few secinds, IVAO resets the meteo onditions, and i can see that my altitude changes on the FI digital altimeter. But from then, I cannot change the pressure, the perssure display is freezed.

    Any Idea ?

    (FSX SP2 DX10 Vista64)

    Denis

  15. Hi,

    I have actually some FSX crashes (Vista64 says the display driver has failed).

    In that cas, relounching FSX makes my comport problem.

    When I restart the PC, everything is OK. i must say that when Vista has such failure, no 3D program can function, correctly, Vista has more and more display drives crashes and I must aniway restart the PC.

    Denis

  16. Hi everyone,

    As I installed vista64 on my new PC for a few weeks, I had some problems to get Comport work, but I found free sftware who could bring everything OK. (I had to search on the net, because FI site has only the old software that didn't work on my PC.

    Since i installed Vista SP1 yesterday, I have the comport error.

    Has anybody a solution ?

    Denis

  17. Hi Manny

    Thanks for advice ! I didn't see that there is a new FSUIPC and will try it later. My gauge problem seems solved, I simply have uninstalled the gauge and reinstalled... and it works so fine as ever !!!

    But I have FS X crashes. I've tried if it goes better without the FI software, and the crashes continue. So, I hope the new FSUIPC is the answer.

    Best regards

    Denis
