Is there an FSUIPC 4.206 equivalent for FS2004?

[stratmatt777]

Hi Pete, I am writing in reference to an 11 month old thread at viewtopic.php?f=54&t=66827 where you responded to an FSX user who has the Flight1 Cessna C441 with the badly designed panel programming that makes the VOR course deviation indicator adjust in increments of 10 degrees. I too bought that Flight1 product in December of 2007 and they have never responded to my customer service request "calltag".

In the thread you said that you did some research and created a new FSUIPC for that FSX user (I've pasted your response to that thread below). Do you have a version compatible with FS2004 that corrects this Flight1 programming error?

I tired putting FSUIPC 4.206 in my 2004 modules (not expecting it to work)- and it didn't, of course :), but I wanted to try everything before I bothered you about this. I did just download and install your newest FSUIPC3 at http://secure.simmarket.com/pete-dowson-fsuipc3.phtml and installed it, but I think it is the same version I downloaded there 11 months ago.

I've just read a bit about all the features FSUIPC adds to FS and want to buy it ASAP, but I wanted to ask you which version fixes my "Flight1 10 degree VOR adjustment" issue. :)

Thank you for your time and assistance!

Actually, shortly after my last reply I had a sudden stroke of inspiration and tried a different way to find the relevant timer in CONTROLS.DLL.

I think I've found it, so I'm making a new interim version of FSUIPC4 (version 4.206) for testing. I'll append it here later today. I've no way of testing it properly because I've found nothing which causes the problem. Perhaps you and Ed can test it for me and let me know?

Okay, here it is, 4.206. Please try the "Fix control Acceleration" option and let me know. It should work with the original FSX release, SP1 and SP2/Acceleration, but as I say I've no way of testing.

Hi Pete, I am writing in reference to an 11 month old thread at viewtopic.php?f=54&t=66827 where you responded to an FSX user ...

Oh dear, what confusion! Look at this part of the thread you just referred to:

The fix in FSUIPC3 for the resulting symptom was intended as a temporary work-around, hoping panel writers would mend their ways. MS are certainly in no mind to change what FS does in this area.

Unfortunately, that fix was based on a hack into FS9 which I cannot repeat easily on FSX as the actual compiled code of FS has changed dramatically and such things are becoming more and more difficult to find. Hopefully, for FSX, there would really be no need for it anyway as really the panel designers who did this sort of thing should be mending their ways and doing things correctly using all the new facilities at their disposal in FSX.

See the emboldened parts? The message was obviously in reply to someone seeking a copy of a fix I did in FSUIPC3 (which is the version for FS2004) in the FSUIPC4 version, for FSX -- a fix which I didn't think I could do back then.

Now you are asking for a fix which existed first in FSUIPC3 to be put into FSUIPC3? Evidently it is already there and was in there many years ago!

I've just read a bit about all the features FSUIPC adds to FS and want to buy it ASAP, but I wanted to ask you which version fixes my "Flight1 10 degree VOR adjustment" issue. :)

Any and all supported versions. Certainly not 4.206 which hasn't been supported for many months. The current versions are 4.40 for FSX and 3.85 for FS2004 and before. Please see the Announcements at the top of this Forum.
