Groschenbuegel 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) Hello Pete, I think you deserve the full price for a new product, for all the work you do for us simmers ! I will buy the new P3D version, when you release the new FSUIPC so that all my hardware works again as before. A big "Dankeschön" from Germany !

pmb 1 Report post Posted May 25, 2017 1 hour ago, Pete Dowson said: Tuesday. And FSUIPC5 will be a new product, not an upgrade. It's been too much work to have it as just an upgrade. That's absolutely okay with me. I've been using FSUIPC for - I actually don't know - years now after buying it once. Making a new version and collecting some money for it is an excellent solution indeed. Kind regards, Michael 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ron Attwood 2 Report post Posted May 25, 2017 I for one will be very happy to stump up a quid! Hell, it'll be worth it. :-) I've banged a few nails in FSW's coffin since my first look at it but no FSUIPC was the last and biggest one. I was kidding about a quid. I'll go to two quid!

I_A_N 1 Report post Posted May 25, 2017 Pete, Thank you. This is great news. Add me to the list of people who don't mind paying for a new version. I have been using FSUIPC for years. Sim flight without it would be difficult for me. Ian 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fredkura 1 Report post Posted May 25, 2017 Pete - That is great news! Many thanks! And I absolutely agree with the others here that you should charge a fee for the new registration.....even to the extent that there are no "free" basic versions. You do far more than your fair share on this and should be commensurately rewarded. But sooner than later someone else is going to need to step up to the plate on this....We cannot rely on Pete forever. Ultimately FSUIPC should be integral with the P3D SDK. I have to assume it is in LM's best interests as well. LM would be smart to work a deal with Pete to do that. Fred K 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gypsy Baron 10 Report post Posted May 25, 2017 Pete, will FSUIPC5 retain/include the lua capabilities that we currently have in FSUIPC4? Paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Dowson 251 Report post Posted May 25, 2017 Just now, Gypsy Baron said: will FSUIPC5 retain/include the lua capabilities that we currently have in FSUIPC4? Yes, identically, except that the Lua Display on screen options will be rather limited until I get more facilities from L-M as that area is via digging into the code in FS9 - FSX- FSX-SE and 32-bit P3D (all similar in that area). (That was one of the exceptions I forgot to mention). Pete Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The lua display feature isn't critical to my scripts but they do help me to know which of 8 or 10 groups of controller assignments I have currently set and the assignment for each of my 10 switches on my throttle quads.my switches or in other scripts what elevator trim or rudder trim I have dialed in and myriad other settings/states.

CJSCH 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) My heart missed a beat when I first read about FSUIPC potentially missing with p3dv4! Thanks for your immense contributions. I would like to suggest that you give those who want to the opportunity to add an amount, at their discretion, to the regular subscription as a token of appreciation. You deserve every penny for your outstanding work. Charles Edited May 26, 2017 by CJSCH spelling Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaveG 1 Report post Posted May 26, 2017 Excellent news Pete. Quick question, will existing FSUIPC 4 profiles be transferable to FSUIPC 5? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GSalden 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2017 Thanks Pete for making a version 5. This means that I can continue using my OC hardware with Prosim in P3Dv4 and other Fsuipc dependant apps. After years of free updates it is only normal that a new v5 is a new payware program. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alpin-Flier 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2017 Hi Pete Fantastic news, that you will provide FSUIPC for P3DV4. My B737 homecockpit needs FSUIPC for sure. But I have a question: Would it be an option to make FSUIPC5 an event driven system instead of polling simconnect and PMDG NGX data, i.e. update data only at start and on changes? IMHO this would reduce PC load significantly. Just my two cents... Urs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
