Many thanks Paul! Achoriham

Hi Paul, Many thanks, works like a charm! Grateful to you! If you do not mind it, I'd have two other questions, which would be my next steps in the small prg I'm trying to do. 1. The menu works fine now, it is added to P3D, but how can I get the menu-item to display a simple message-box when the menu-item is pressed? 2. I'd like to read (or is "capture" the right word for that?) keystrokes in P3D and would like to write some Lvars according to the key-presses. I can write the Lvars but cannot read the key events. How can I do that? Thanks in advance Achoriham

Hi, For days I've been trying to get some menus into FS, using the given example. Works absolutely fine when I do it with the checkbox method, as given in the example, but I want to have the menus auto, when FSUIPC is connected. Tried many different methods to achieve that but no success whatsoever. Could any of you show me an example please, where the menus are created at startup and no checkbox is needed? (Using VB...) Thanks in advance Achoriham

Thank you Pete!

Hi Pete, I have nasty and strange problem recently. I use a separate numeric keypad placed in the window of my cockpit and I only use it for ProATCX and it's few keystrokes. But PATCX only accepts CTRL-ed and SHIFT-ed keys, so I left the default keys for PATCX 1,2,3,4,etc. and used a few lines in FSUIPC to get the required results from the numeric pad, like: 1=W05DC=0 N45,8,1070,48 -{Ins: Press=key press & release: 0 }- 2=W05DC=0 N35,8,1070,49 -{End: Press=key press & release: 1 }- 3=W05DC=0 N40,8,1070,50 -{Down: Press=key press & release: 2 }- and so on I also use the numpad's + and - to change the simrate, like: 6=W05DC=0 N109,8,65790,0 -{Num-: Press=SIM_RATE_DECR }- 8=W05DC=0 N107,8,65789,0 -{Num+: Press=SIM_RATE_INCR }- Works absolutely fine, until I go into full-screen mode. From that moment on, the keys don't work anymore, the Simconnect-Window doesn't appear anymore, no keys work on the numpad, even after returning from full-screen to windowed-mode. Tried it with P3D4.0, 4.1 and also a vnext version. Same result. Some other progs like GSX, that also uses the simconnect-window, just works fine, only the numeric keys become dead from the moment on I once used full-screen. What could be the problem? regards Achoriham

You can send any value in ProSim. The syntax is: 0x0000=xxxx

Hi Thomas, Absolutely yes. For two decades or so I use something like that to "order" how directories appear on the top of the tree. Never ever had a problem with those. Be it ! or _ or - at the beginning it doesn't matter, as these aren't special characters if I'm not mistaken. regards Achoriham

Hi Pete, Many thanks for the tips! I haven't personally asked Humberto in the ProSim forum, because there was a similar message a bit earlier and Humberto's answer to the same problem was "You have to run PSU as Administrator" - so I thought there was nothing else to be done, although W10 seemingly dislikes it unfortunately. But problem SOLVED because I did a small ext.run function in a Lua plug-in as you suggested and it works perfectly! I also tried the undocumented Min/Max switch (thanks for the tip) but for some reason that didn't work for me. Perhaps the syntax I used was bad, I simply added the switch to a line, something like: RunIf5=READY,CLOSE,MIN,d:\!Prosim\utils\prosimutils\Prosimutils.exe but that doesn't work. Anyway, many thanks for your help and support! regards Achoriham

Hi Pete, Grateful for your answer, many thanks. Now I understand why admin is not possible. The compatibility tab is something I tried earlier, but didn't work. I try to avoid "Program Files" as much as possible. In this case it is ProsimUtils is the prg I start and it's on a different drive but as it runs its own webserver, it wouldn't connect unless run as admin. But it's fine if P3D is started as admin. To start a program minimized would be great, thanks for considering it. regards Achoriham

Hi Pete, Just a small feature request, hope you don't mind my asking for it. When I start different programs in my full 737-cockpit obviously I use FSUIPC to start them. Now that P3Dv4 came I installed it under Win10, but constantly have problems if I do NOT start some of them as administrator. So my humble request would be: would it be possible to add a switch for the Run, Runif commands to start the prg in admin mode? Less important at present but it would also be great to have the Min, Max switches there, just like it is possible in Wideclient. best regards Achoriham

Hi Thomas, Terribly sorry for the late answer... The problem seems to be happening with any version after FSUIPC4966c and ALSO with FSUIPC5. 4966c and earlier are just fine. Logs uploaded. Achoriham logs.zip

Hi Pete, I tried the FSUIPC4966n version (know that it is labeled as experimental) and it seems that for cockpit user folks like myself, having two pedals or yokes, hence having identical names, actually only ONE of them seem to be identified by FSUIPC now. It is always the FIRST one that I move in the Axis tab. The second one doesn't seem to be detected. If I use the "official" FSUIPC4966c version, everything is fine. regards Achoriham
