No, sorry. Spaces are not relevant. I'd need to be able to reproduce this to see why it was occurring, but there's nothing special about any naming methods. If you can narrow it down to something you can reproduce yourself, get back to me. if i can think of anything extra that can be logged, I'll let you know.
The mechanism is the same one which selects the aircraft-specific Buttons, Axes, JoystickCalibration and Keys sections too. Maybe it is something related to those (or their absence?), so a sight of his INI file might help.
Oh, and, please, rather than say "latest" for the FSUIPC version, please ALWAYS give the version number. That is what it is for. "Latest" is really quite meaningless -- anything from 3.99 to 3.998e and 4.70 or 4.742 is "latest" and that covers over 6 months of development and many releases for two distinct platforms. You haven't even said which FS version you are talking about!

I'm looking for some trouble-shooting help...
I've developed some lua code to intercept a change in LVARs in an add-on airplane, and
issue key-presses when the change is detected.
This works nicely and a number of users have adopted my code and reported success.
One user, however, is reporting that the lua programs fail to execute on his system
and after some joint trouble-shooting and comparison of ini and log files, we've come to
the surprising conclusion that a simple [Auto] statement in the ini file works, but
a specified list of specific airplanes [Auto.xxxxx] does not.
Example
[Auto.VansRV7A Tip-Up 03]
1=Lua 530_knobs
2=Lua 530_buttons
3=Lua 327_buttons
does not work on his system, and yet his log file shows that the airplane was loaded:
77564 Aircraft="VansRV7A Tip-Up 03"
86487 Starting everything now ...
I should add, that with LUA program logging enabled, there are no luaxxx.log
files created either - leading me to believe that FSUIPC does not start them up..
Again, this all works nicely on my system, and at least half a dozen users'..
and, as we found out, it works on his system with a simple [Auto] statement!
Is there anyone who might have a theory on where this could fail?
This is with a fresh install of the latest registered FSUIPC release.
Windows 7 vs XP, 64 bit vs 32 bit..
or is the Airplane name with several spaces possibly a source of problems..
any ideas??

Because of several questions I have decided to write a little tutorial for this people which want to assign their custom key commands via FSUIPC using LVARs or just the logging.
Hi, I am new to this, so please bear with me...
I would like to detect when a specific "L" variable in FSX changes value
from 0 to 1 and then issue a keypress.
I know how to issue a key press when a joystick button is pushed
and I have read that I can read Lvars using a LUA IPC command,
so I suspect that what I want to do is possible.
I need someone to confirm that this is indeed possible and point
me to a tutorial on how to construct the needed pieces and
how to string them together into a working solution..
I have the patience to try a few things, but am stuck at the very beginning...
Edit: after reading your tutorials and examples, I've actually got it working!
Little LUA program:
while 1 do enter=ipc.readLvar("L:XXXXX") if enter ~= 0 then ipc.keypress(113,32) end ipc.sleep(100) end
and an AUTO entry in FSUIPC.ini to start the lua program
for this aircraft.. and it works!
Thanks for all the great info here and the brilliant
FSUIPC program. :D

Super - thanks for the clarification!
