Thanks Pete: Yes, I also posted on the RC forum and it seems, as you suggested, to be a "path not found" error. I had also posted here because I saw "fsuipc" in the error message and was not sure and I wanted to cover all grounds. Looks like it should be easily fixable but not sure why it just "all of a sudden" happened. Well sometimes there are not always readily apparent answers. Take care, Al

Hello Pete: Have been using Radar Contact, FSUIPC and FSX for many years without significant problem. Toward the end of my last 3 flights, I noted that Radar Contact was not working. However, it worked perfectly during the first 1/2 - 2/3rds of each flight. I opened the RC Window and there was the following error: Run Time Error '76' RC.fsuipc.rcv4code Any idea what this means and what to do to fix it. Never saw this before. Thank you, Al

Hi Pete: Sorry, was away for a few days. FSUIPC 4.53. I think I figured it out. The plane I was using was the Flight1_Cessna_Mustang. With some planes that I use, when I select "Plane Specific", FSUIPC assigns the actual tail # of the aircraft if this appears in the "select plane" list. With this plane, there are no tail #'s assigned. FSUIPC then assigns a number to the plane. I checked all the liveries in this particular group. There are 6 of them. Depending on which one I select, a # (from 1 - 6) is assigned when I check off "plane specific". Al

Pete: I wanted to start completely over with assigning a macro file for a specific plane for the purpose of assigning buttons in my GoFlight modules. So I went into the FSUIPC.ini file and deleted the line with the macro name in the [MacroFiles] section, deleted the [buttons assignments for the plane], deleted the actual "name of the macro".MCRO and .MCRO.bak files in the Modules folder and started over. However, when I go into FSUIPC to create the new macro and I check off "plane specific" I keep getting at the top of the FSUIPC window "name of plane2". Do you know why the number 2 being is added to the plane name? thanks, Al

Thanks again Pete. Will see what I can find out from Eaglesoft. Al

Thanks Pete. Please let me say again that I appreciate all your efforts and help as always. I will try a few more experiments. I also plan to talk to the developers and ask them what was done differently with this APU switch compared to the FS9 version. I will let you know if I get any additional information that could help in solving this problem. I have one other question. I noticed something that popped up in my log and would appreciate any comments about what it means. I see the following line repeated many times in my log that I sent you. Do you know what it means? "Exception 15 "WEATHER_UNABLE_TO_GET_OBSERVATION", Ref 3887, Index param -1 on Weather request type 5" Thanks, Al

Pete: Then please explain, if possible, why is it that if I ONLY use these 2 macro entries, 21=APU Start=RXadf90*X55cc 23=APU Off=RXae000*X55cc the APU switch "works" in that it will move up when I click my CH switch to Start and it moves down if I click my CH switch to turn Off. Of course it does not self center but if the log says I need a 3 line macro then using a 3 line macro does not even move the switch, other than the switch sound. Thanks, Al

Very sorry Pete but I guess I misunderstood and add in a little confusion as well. I do not do this every day of the week. I changed my MCRO file to the following: 21=APU Start 21.1=RXadf90*X55cc 21.2=RXadf90*X55cc,11 21.3=RXadf90*X55cc,17 23=APU Off 23.1=RXae000*X55cc 23.2==RXae000*X55cc,11 23.3=RXae000*X55cc,17 Are these correct and what you referred to by a "three-line macro"? Left out the APU norm for now. When I open FS, I can hear a click with APU START and OFF but no there is movement of the APU switch. Al

Hi Pete: Was out of town for the weekend, visiting my son. As you suggested above, the initial macros were for preparation work to get to the APU panel. The 2 macros for the APU are one for the Start: RXadf90*X55cc and the second for the Off: RXae000*X55cc I do NOT know why there is one with the 17 modifier added to it. That is NOT in my MCRO file at all. I only have the 11 modifier in there because that is what was successful before in the FS9 version. Here is what I have in my MCRO file for the APU: 21=APU Start=RXadf90*X55cc 22=APU Normal 22.1=RXadf90*X55cc,11 22.2=RXae000*X55cc,11 23=APU Off=RXae000*X55cc Thanks, Al

Pete: Here is the log. I first entered the 3 items that you requested in the General section of the ini file. I then opened FSX and loaded the Citation. I first opened the APU subpanel and then did 2 things. I first mouse clicked the APU start switch followed by mouse clicking the APU Off switch. That is all. (BTW, I did do a little experimenting with additional numbers before doing the above but still no luck with self centering the switch) ********* FSUIPC4, Version 4.53 by Pete Dowson ********* Reading

Pete: Are there any modifiers other than the 17 and 11 that we used before? Al

Pete: Thanks, I'll do this but it may need to wait to next Monday as I am going out of town. What I mean by the APU Start switch "works" - it does turn on the APU but the switch just stays in the up position after I release my CH switch. I can then mouse click it to center. The same thing when shutting down the APU, the APU will turn off but the switch just stays in the down position and can only be placed in the center position by mouse clicking it to center. In other words, the switch does not self center after Start or Off like it did before. Al

Hi Pete: Back with a question about Mouse Macros. Finally switched over to FSX and now have the FSX Cessna Citation (by Eaglesoft) that we discussed at length for FS9 regarding the self centering APU switch. I am using FSUIPC 4.53. I have programmed all the macros for the Citation (as I did for the FS9 version of the plane) and everything works great except for the APU self centering switch. I even have the XTIE and Engine start switches working perfect using the 17 modifier, as you discovered in our previous discussions and experiments with the FS9 plane. However, the APU switch does not work as it did in FS9 using the 11 modifier. I have the following in my Macro file: 21=APU Start=RXadf90*X55cc 22=APU Normal 22.1=RXadf90*X55cc,11 22.2=RXae000*X55cc,11 23=APU Off=RXae000*X55cc Essentially the same as in FS9 but just different #'s. When I program one of my CH throttle switches for APU Start - it works - but the APU switch does not return to the Normal center position. Turning off the APU also works but it does not return to the Normal center position. Using the same switches as I did in FS9. Any recommendation as to what I could do to further investigate this small problem? Thanks, Al

You are correct. I do have two 4 port hubs and to change USB connections at this point is not an great option for me. Since I am now up and running again and I do not plan t make any additions at this point, I think I will leave well enough alone. Thanks Pete. Al

Pete: 5 are RP48s and 1 is a GF-T8. I was interested if you might know simple solution to this. Maybe something that had come up before. Appreciate your quick reply as always. But quite honestly, editing the FSUIPC.in file is pretty simple. Took me less than 5 minutes for each plane. At least I know I will not be adding any more modules for some time. Maybe never at this point. Don't really need any more. Have a wonderful weekend and thanks. Al
