[Missing Registration key]

Hallo Pete,

I already wrote you but cant find it in the forum, maybe I made a mistake in sending it. So once more:

I catched a virus on my computer and it was so severe that all had to be deleted and I have to start from scratch. This means that I lost also my Ragistration key(s).

I had FSUIPC for FS9 and for FSX. I found a note with one key, it is EDITED TO REMOVE CODE but I dont know whether its for FS9 or FSX. If its for FSX, then its ok as I mostly use now FSX and having lost the key for FS9 is no drama. Could you help me to get FSUIPC working on FSX again?

Thanks in advance

[AutoSafe not working]

Peter, last Winter I used Autosafe on my XP/FS9 without problems. Now I tried it again but cant get it to work.

Autosafe DLL is in the FS9-Modulesfolder and AutoSafe.cfg in the FS9-Folder.

When I open the window "Select flight" I find 20 Autosafe-Positions and the newly created ones dont work proper, this means the plane is airborne but its in cold + dark configuration. On the other hand AutoSafe.cfg reads Interval = 60, Files = 10 and in (Files) are 10 old Files shown. What can I do?

Regards Guenther

[Power levers]

Peter, I have FS 9 and a fully licensed FSUIPC. At the moment I am concentrating on the ATR 72-500 from Flight 1. They write in their POH:

"Joysticks or other hardware to adjust power will cause problems when using this feature! Make sure that the power setting device is calibrated and in idle position."

Indeed, using the PL of my Saitek Throttle Quadrant causes uncontrolled torque-reactions. So my question: Do I really have to sell my ThrQ and to move the PL in future only by mouse? Or can FSUIPC help me also in this case?

[Extending Ice Vanes]

Hallo Pete,

I followed your suggestions but without success. So there are obviously no keystrokes for this wished action. And there is also no reaction on my trial to create a mouse macro.

The Event Logging showed the following:

1384516 """ Event: Cntrl=66484 (0x000103b4) Param=0 (0x00000000) Anti_Ice_Toggle_Eng1

1385539 66485 (0x000103b5) " " " Eng2

So in my understanding is there a reaction when I move by mousclick the toggles for both Ice Vanes left and right. Shouldnt it then be possible to use this signals to assign them to a button?

Thank you for your patience with me and my problems.

Regards, Guenther

[Extending Ice Vanes]

Yes Pete,

its an add-on plane, The King Air B 200 from Aeroworx. Its for FS2004 and I use it on FS2004.

All the mentioned toggles are operapable and can be moved by mouseclick.

When I click the 2 toggles for Ice Vanes left and right, I can see on the outside view of the plane howe the Ice Vanes come out on the downside of the engines.

If you need more information, please let me know.

Regards, Guenther

[Extending Ice Vanes]

I have on my King Air B 200 the following Anti-Ice-Toggles:

Left Ice Vane

Right Ice Vane

W`shield Pilot

" Co-Pilot

Prop Auto

" Manual

Fuel Vent left

" right

Surface Manual.

What I want to do is to use a button of my ThrQ to extend both Ice Vanes (and to retract them). So I opened Button and Switches, pressed the button I want to assign/Select for FS-Control. Then I tried all possibilities under "Contr. sent when button pressed" from "Anti Ice off to Anti Ice Toggle Eng4". But the only toggle who reacted was Prop Auto.

Is there a hidden solution for my intention?

[Displaying the map]

Pete,

"Map" means the dafault map in FS9 which can be opened under "Environment/Daytime/Airports/Map/Weather" On the KEyboard this map is normally assigned to "K" = (german) Karte but on my keyboard this is assigned to L (No idea why L und not K). But thats of course not my problem.

My problem is, as I mentioned in my last post, how to close the map and to come back to the cockpit view, using a ThQ-button I assigned to "Map" by FSUIPC.

Hope this answers your question,

Guenther

[Displaying the map]

Thanks for your quick reply to "Joystick button for Teamspeak". Now its working fine. But here another question:

Using "L" on my keyboard, I can open in FS9 the map and using "Enter" I come back to the cockpit. I assigned a switch on my ThrQ for opening the map (Buttons and switches/select for key press/press the key.../key press not to be held) and it works fine. But I failed to come back to the cockpit view with the same switch. How can I manage this?

Thanks in advance, Guenther

[Joystick button for Teamspeak]

I want to put teamspeaks "push to talk"-function on a Joystick button but failed up to now.

What I did, I opened "Button and Switches" and pressed the Joystick button I want to assign, made a tick on "Select for FS-control". But now is my question, what should I choose under "Control sent when button pressed/released?

Guenther

[Signature]

Pete,

I had to reinstall my computer totally with XP. After installing FS9 I downloaded FSUIPC 3.90, installed .dll in Modules, went to Properies, Dig. Signature and found "Simflight GmbH". Details confirmed "Signature is valid" but your name was not mentioned. I guess that everything is okey but I ask you nevertheless as I understood your hint in the User Guide in a way that your name should show up.

Regards, Guenther

[Update]

Pete,

I am so sorry and to my shame I must confess that I didnt read all what you wrote in your documentation. I can imagine that its totally frustrating for you to deal with people like me. The only explanation for my mistake is that its hard and tiring not only to read but also to understand all the datails in such a huge documentation. But I promise you, I will try hard to improve me!

Thanks a lot,

Guenther

[Update]

Sorry Pete,

now I downloaded 3.90 and the Options page confirms that I am now working with 3.90. But when opening one of the pages, there are still boxes named "Aircraft specific". Thats not what you write in the Users Guide. Whats wrong?

Guenther

[Update]

Hi Pete,

I downloaded 3.874 and when I open in FS9 Modules/FSUIPC I see on the Options and Settings page that this is version 3.874 as expected. But there is still "Aircraft specific" on the different pages and not "Profile specific" as explained by you. Do I have to do a further step to come to profiles? (I didnt use Aircraft specific up to now).

[2 ini-files?]

Pete, thanks for your advice. I removed the signs (^) in front of "General" and since then I have only one section. But the fact is that I didnt insert these signs and I do not know why or caused by which action they appeared. But nevertheless I will check this item when I get further problems.

Regards Guenther

[2 ini-files?]

Pete,

thanks for your reply. No, I didnt edit the file and I didnt recognise a special crash during FS.

I use FS 2004, so my performance should be good as you mention.

As you said that there must be only one (General) section, I removed the second part, but immediately after I tried (unsuccessfully) to program a button, this mentioned second part was back on my ini-file. Therefore I copied the ini to send it to you. Unfortunately I dont know how to add to this answer, so I send it by Email to you. I hope it gives you a hint whats wrong with my FSUIPC.

Guenther

[2 ini-files?]

I am a bit confused about FSUIPC. When I open the ini-file under "Modules" then it starts with (General), History, followed by all the different settings, ending with Buttons and Keys. But then there is a second part, also starting with (General), History etc., shorter then the first part and not containing Axes, Buttons etc. Is this correct? I should mention that I didnt tick the "Aircraft specific" box.

Further I ask myself whether this could influence the performance of my computer. I think that I have a very good one (Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q 6600 @ 2,4 GHz and Nvidia GeForce 8800 Ultra) but since some time my fps go down to values between 2 and 8, which makes it nearly impossible to fly. The computer has just been checked by the supplier but he said that all systems are running perfect. Therefore my question whether an uncorrect use of FSUIPC could cause my problems?

[Combined actions]

Having no Copilot besides me, I try to automate as much as possible in order to reduce workload. So when I make "Gear down" automatically Landing lights go on. After landing, when stopping to brake (= release of toebrakes) Landing lights go off. So far so good. What I would like to add is that when Landing lights go off that then Taxi lights go on.

My question is now, how can I combine these two actions? The fact that Taxi Lights is a toggel makes it so difficult for me. But in the User Guide are hints that conditioned actions are possible, but how?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Guenther

[Autofeather]

Sorry Pete for using "to clarify", obviously a wrong expression. Probably it had been better to use "to explain" or so. Thats always the risk to be misunderstood when communicating in another then your native language. I hope you can forgive me my poor english.

Your remark about The Aeroworx King Air sounds a bit negative to me. There is certainly a bug (Autofeather works also not with Afterburner) but its a phantastic model. As far as I know and how its very often mentioned in the forums, the King Air B 200 seems to be the most complex Add-on on the Simulation market. There are lots of RW-King Air-Pilots, using this model also on their computers and sharing their experiences in the forums. They wouldnt do so if this model wouldnt be very close to reality. And thats also the reason why I use only this aircraft for FS.

Regards, Guenther

[Autofeather]

Pete, sorry for the missing information. Here they are:

Windows XP

FS 9

Aircraft: Aeroworx King Air B 200.

Now I followed your advice, going to Logging page/Events/New Log.

First I moved the Autofeather Arm-Toggle by mouse and found in the Log the following line:

497656 ~~~ Event: Cntrl = 66360 (0x00010338), Param = 0 (0x00000000)Toggle_Afterburner 2.

Then I pushed the toggle on the ThQ that I had assined to "Autofeather Arm" and found the following line:

501718 ~~~ Event: Cntrl = 66297 (0x000102f9), Param = 0 (0x00000000) Toggle_Autofeather_Arm.

Hope that this clarfies the situation for you.

Regards Guenther

[Autofeather]

Thanks Pete for your hints,

and you have been again right, I hadnt looked hard enough in the drop-down menu. Eventually I found everything.

But "Autofeather Arm" doesnt work though I can activate this toggle by mouse. What did I? I went to Buttons + Switches, pressed the button I want to assign to, checked "Select for FS control", choosed "Toggle Autofeather Arm" under "Control sent when button pressed", then OK. But unfortunately there is no reaction on the cockpits togggle. What to do?

Regards, Guenther

[Buttons]

Hey Pete, thanks for replying and successfully helping me with my Flapsproblems. Now they work perfect! This encourages me to submit you more of my problems, eg.:

how can I assign buttons to functions which are not listed in the drop-down-menue?

For my Aeroworx King Air B 200 I want to assign buttons to Prop. Syncr. on-off/Autofeather on-off and Taxilights on-off. I am sure thats possible, but how?

Regards Guenther

[Flaps]

Hey, I want to submit you a problem with my Flaps. I assigned a rocker switch on my Saitek Yoke to Flaps. If I use the switch then I get "Full Flaps", when using it again I get "Flaps up". But there is a 3rd position, called "Flaps to Approach". The sequence should be: Flaps to Approach/Full Flaps/ Flaps to Approach/ Flaps up.

What can I do to make the rocker switch following this order?

Thanks Guenther

[FSUIPC]

Sorry, I am totally lost and upset as I cant get my key to FSUIPC. I bought it (Customer 127381, Order 440499), I payed € 23.80 and this was debited on 27. 6. on my account.

Since 28. 6. I try to contact Simmarket but get only automatic useless answers. I also didnt succeed by sending a Trouble ticket. I wrote the whole complain but when I want to send it, the only answer is that my message was to short, it must have more then 5 characters! I start to ask me whether they want to take my money and cheat me. And I do also not know whether this is the right way to solve my problem. Its my last try.

[Neuer Computer]

Hallo,

ich habe heute eine Frage zu einem neuen Computer. Ich möchte mir einen high-end-Computer kaufen, den ich nur für Flusi verwenden will. Ich stelle mir 3 Screens vor (nicht Matrox Triple Head), sondern einen 24" Screen für das Cockpit und 2 20" Screen für die Instrumente, wie GPS, Throttle Quadrant usw. Welche Konfiguration bzw. Komponenten empfehlt Ihr mir?

Dann noch eine Frage: Soll ich Windows XP oder Vista kaufen? Ich verwende z. Zt. FS 2004, möchte für später aber schon eine Option für FSX haben. Nun hört man, daß Flusi-Anwendungen mit Vista z. Zt. schlechter laufen als mit XP (!?!) Was empfehlt Ihr mir also?

Vielen Dank im voraus,

Günther

[Linking FP to FS 2004]

Hallo everybody, I am new, even still in my test-phase and have problems to link the flightplan which I generated in FSNavigator to FS 2004. I tried it as follows:

Creating a FP, then "Save" and giving a name

Export/Format FS 2004/ok/Select Runway/ok/Save as/Flight Sim Dateien/Save.

When I then look to the kneepanel, there is no Flightplan in and also GPS has nothing loaded.

What I´m doing wrong?
