‘Key Presses’ tab malfunction

[harm meertens]

I have some problems in using FSUIPC Version 4.52. for assignment of joystick buttons.

If I select the (registered) FSUIPC add-on in FSX it shows up quickly.

If I select then a tab like ‘Key Presses’ is also comes instantly.

The ‘Buttons+Switches’ tab, however, takes a varable but mostly very long time to show up.

Also the selctions to be made in this ‘Buttons+Switches’ tab do not function properly (unusable).

If I press a joystick button during waiting, a response is noticed, although the tab layout is still not completed.

This phenomena started recently (a couple of days ago). Until then the module functioned properly.

I tried various things like reinstalling FSUIPC. I even did a complete reinstallation of FSX, including FSX Acceleration , but no result.

Closing the FSUIPC window after a long waiting time brings me back to FSX, which runs then properly, for instance with the PMDG MD-11X add-on. Nearly all my key-commands and axes are send to FSX trough FSUIPC. I also have made a number of mouse-macros and they were o.k. as well.

Can someone give me a solution or a clue, where to look? Do I maybe have to repair the simConnect dll's?

The operating system I use at present is Windows-7, 32 bits

Kind regards.

I'm afraid version 4.52 is out of date and has not been supported for several months.

I doubt it, as FSUIPC does not use SimConnect for reading any buttons or switches. It sounds like you have a bad joystick or joystick driver installed, possibly one not compatible with Windows 7.

When you are using a supported version of FSUIPC and if you still have not solved the problem, come back and we'll investigate via Logging and so forth.
