Bjoern2 Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 This might be a very trivial issue, but I just can't figure it out at the moment... Running FSUIPC 4.944a (unregistered) on FSX:SE (patch version: Sept. 8th, 2015) on Windows 10 (if that matters). The dynamic ground friction script does not seem to initialize. FSUIPC installed correctly and works in FSX:SE. I've added [Auto] 1=Lua DynamicFriction to the bottom of the FSUIPC4.ini, which should be the correct procedure for activating the LUA script. FSUIPC, however, does not automatically add a [Lua] section. When running FSX, I get the following in FSUIPC4.log: ********* FSUIPC4, Version 4.944a by Pete Dowson ********* Reading options from "E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\FSX\Modules\FSUIPC4.ini" Running inside FSX Steam Edition on Windows 8.0 Module base=56170000 User Name="" User Addr="" FSUIPC4 not user registered WIDEFS7 not user registered, or expired 156 System time = 12/09/2015 19:54:36 156 FLT path = "C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Flight Simulator X Files\" 188 Trying to connect to SimConnect Steam ... 188 FS path = "E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\FSX\" 313 LogOptions=80000000 00000001 313 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 313 ------ Setting the hooks and direct calls into the simulator ------ 313 --- CONTROLS timer memory location obtained ok 313 --- SIM1 Frictions access gained 313 --- FS Controls Table located ok 313 --- Installed Mouse Macro hooks ok. 313 --- Wind smoothing fix is fully installed 313 --- All links checked okay 313 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 313 SimConnect_Open succeeded: waiting to check version okay 313 Trying to use SimConnect Steam 1422 Running in "Microsoft Flight Simulator X", Version: 10.0.62615.0 (SimConnect: 10.0.62615.0) 1422 Initialising SimConnect data requests now 1422 FSUIPC Menu entry added 1438 C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Flight Simulator X Files\Default.FLT 1438 E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\C208B\cessna208B_mod.air 11656 Weather Mode now = Theme 16313 E:\FSX Airplanes\Boeing 727-200ADV\tom727_mod_15.AIR 16313 c:\users\administrator\documents\flight simulator x files\Previous Flight.FLT 41110 System time = 12/09/2015 19:55:16, Simulator time = 12:52:27 (16:52Z) 55828 Starting everything now ... 57141 Advanced Weather Interface Enabled 112047 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 62 secs = 29.8 fps 568110 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 446 secs = 29.8 fps I've enabled the separate log for LUA plugins and enabled "debug/trace" LUA logs and quite and restarted FSX. There is no indication whatsoever that the LUA script is executed and there are no LUA-related logs at all. "DynamicFriction.lua" is present in [FSX root folder]\Modules. What am I missing here? Was LUA support axed from the unregistered version at one point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Dowson Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Was LUA support axed from the unregistered version at one point? No. Plug-in support has only ever been available for registered users. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjoern2 Posted September 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 No. Plug-in support has only ever been available for registered users. The 2012-ish threads, when the ground friction stuff was quite new, mostly mentioned that the scripts can be used with the unregistered version. Must've been false information. Anyway, thanks for the reply. Was beginning to doubt my sanity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjoern2 Posted September 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Read some old threads and found the other method to enable the modified friction values, i.e. [General] PatchSIM1friction=Yes FSUIPC4.log now says: 359 --- SIM1 Frictions access gained and basic values patched That's probably what I should have been looking for in the first place. Sorry for the confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
