FSUIPC hiccup

[Richy]

Hello Gents,

Purchase and install fine and fine.

Have  COCKPIT FOR YOU  737 Throttle Quadrant working together with PMDG 737.

I assigned throttle, parking brake, speed break and flaps through P3D and wanted to use

reverse thrust axis and fuel cut off axis through FSUIPC.

All went well . Deleted all default assignments I was no longer using and seems okay.

I only use FSUIPC for those few functions alone and nothing else.

However there are some oddities with the top menu bar not wanting to stay up when I want it to.

Also outside of P3D finding myself zooming in and out whilst using the mouse scroll wheel to navigate EXPLORER. (when I should be scrolling up and down)

(As if the CTRL key is pressed down)

As soon as I remove FSUIPC all goes back to normal.

Not a big deal , just curious . Any advise welcome as I'm a novice with FSUIPC

Cheers, Rick Melcher

Do these things happen with other aircraft? Is it only with PMDG? PMDG aircraft are continually sending controls to FS, all the time, and very fast. I wonder if there's something caused by that?

There is no way anything in FSUIPC affects keyboard use outside of the simulator. It isn't possible, because when the sim hasn't got the focus it doesn't see any of the keyboard inputs.

Press the control key and release it. If the Control was pressed and not seen to be released, the system may just be waiting for a "keyup". But unless you've been making assignments to keypresses, nothing will be doing this in the first place.

Having axis assignments in both places, even if they do not (currently) seem to conflict, is NOT a good idea. You can still assign everything in FSUIPC -- for exactly the same effect as assigning in P3D.  Just assign to the regular Axis .... controls and don't calibrate in FSUIPC. What FS and the 737 sees then is indistinguishable from what they'd see with P3D assignment.
