Lost all Axes - Not able to reactivate - P3D V3.4.22 FSUIPC 4.962

[dekodan]

Hello - I need help please.

After upgrading to 3.4.22 P3D with their hotfix and updating FSUIPC 4.962 (registered), I have lost all my axes assignments.

I have deleted the ini file and tried again and nothing.  Inside FSUIPC, I can see the movements of all the axes.  I can assign them and calibrate them no problem.  Back in the cockpit I get nothing.

I have no conflict inside the standard control settings in P3D.  No axes are assigned.

I am pasting the new ini file (where I only reassigned elevator and aileron as a test).  I still have my old ini file should that be required to debug.

If you can see them and calibrate, then they are sent on to P3D. There's no way the cannot be.

You must disable controllers there. Assignments are not really relevant, it is whether they are enabled or not.

Your assignments are very odd.  You have these devices:

0=Saitek Pro Flight Yoke
1=BU0836A Interface
2=Saitek Pro Flight Cessna Trim Wheel
3=Pro Flight TPM System
4=Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals

but you assigned your aileron and elevator (for the "Piper Pa-28-180 Cherokee 4" only) thus:

0=1X,256,D,1,0,0,0    -{ DIRECT: Aileron }-
1=1Y,256,D,2,0,0,0    -{ DIRECT: Elevator }-

In other words, to the Bodnar board, not the yoke. Why is that?

The only other assignment is to the Aileron, for all other aircraft:

0=1X,256,D,1,0,0,0    -{ DIRECT: Aileron }-

Hello Pete, Thanks for your reply.  See my answers/comments below.

I assure you, I can see and calibrate them properly in FSUIPC.  I have been using your addon for a long time and very familiar with it.  The only thing I changed was moving to the updated P3D client and your update.

I might have mis-stated.  The controllers are not enabled in P3D.

I understand why you would think this.  I replaced the Roll and Pitch axes of my Saitek Pro Flight Yoke with the BU0836A interface because the stock firmware on the Saitek Yoke is rubbish.  I did this many months ago.

In other words, to the Bodnar board, not the yoke. Why is that?

As explained above - new joystick board to read these axes. 

The reason you only see two axes in the ini file:

When my problems started, I scrapped the original fsuiipc.ini file in case I was having conflicts.  When I started everything over, there are blank assignments.  As a test, I only assigned those two axes.  In the case above, profile specific.

In the case below, it was just a non-profile specific test with one axis.

For the life of me, I cannot see why this is not working.  Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Nor me. although if you've only tested it with an add-on aircraft, the A2A, it may just be because that aircraft has bend coded to only accept the regular axis controls at the normal SimConnect priority level.

So,  make sure you load a default aircraft. Then in FSUIPC's logging tab, enable the axis logging. OK out and use the aileron -- perhaps just one movement from centre to full left, then full right, then back again.

See if it works in the default aircraft, and if not then the resulting log should show what is going on.

Hi Pete,

Always worked ok with A2A...  So just gave a default aircraft a try (Beech Baron 58).  I assigned the axes in FSUIPC, works fine inside there.  Back to the cockpit and nothing.  I turned on the axis logging.  I am assuming the output of the log is in fsuipc4.log?  Here it is:

Hi Pete, HOLD on this for now...  I completely deleted all traces of FSUIPC and have done a complete reinstall.  I have had success with 2 axes...  Trying everything and might be back on track.  I have no idea why this fixes the problem but it does...  I'll come back with further news..

Dan

[Pete Dowson]

Your log is cut off at the very point you enabled the axis logging! Why? What's the point of showing that to me?

The only odd thing there is this:

  4511407 Aircraft="Beech Baron 58"
  4512032 *** LUA Error: ipcinit_SOURCE.lua:36: attempt to perform arithmetic on global 'HOBHR4' (a nil value)

What is that bad Lua plug-in?

I suspect the problem is that the A2A aircraft does not heed the controls sent by  FSUIPC.

The only thing that would do is restore the INI file to default. You did that before, you said. What does your new one look like?

The only thing that would do is restore the INI file to default. You did that before, you said. What does your new one look like?

Hi Pete,

You sound like me so I appreciate the annoyance on the cut off log entry earlier.  I should have looked at it more carefully.

Everything is working fine now.  The difference between what I did before and after is the following.  I deleted the ini file the first time and rebooted all.  The results are the ones we have been discussing; i.e. nothing working.  My latest attempt was to delete all contents from the modules folder and reinstall fsuipc and reassign all my controls.  All works now.  My only conclusion is something corrupted between the P3D client update and the installation of your latest fsuipc.  I don't see any significant differences in the ini file from what I posted initially and this now new one after reinstall.  The device IDs seem the same, the basic axes assignments seem the same too...  maybe I am missing something if you feel like investigating.

Here is my ini file:

I wonder if that's something to do with that Lua plug-in, which failed when you ran a different aircraft (see earlier post). Deleting everything in the Modules folder would have deleted that.

It wasn't one I recognised. Where did it come from?

Show me that "rogue" plug-in if you can find it (file name  ipcinit_SOURCE.lua), and see if you can find why you installed it, or what did install which also installed it.

Hi Pete,

OK, so the rogue Lua plug-in is for Simpanels A2A instruments to drive my second PC that has my instruments gauges.  It is actually required or my gauges don't function properly.  Now that I put the ipcinit.lua file back in the modules folder, my gauges works great again.  But now my axes don't work anymore. Grrrr!

If I remove the ipcinit.lua, all controls work fine again but I lose some of my gauges in simpanel....

I'm going bonkers trying to sort this out.  Any ideas?

Dan

attached is my ipcinit.lua file if that helps.

Hi,

also make sure you use latest FSUIPC4.962a.

Then there's some thing badly wrong with that plug-in. I can't check it because whoever wrote and supplied it has compiled it. Usually such plug-ins are readable source.. Is it actually from A2A or did you get it from someplace else? This "SimPanel" company?

The fact that it crashes when you load a different aircraft shows it is in error in the first place.

I think your only recourse is to ask the folks who made it.

That's quite possibly true.  The program comes from simplugins panel builder. I have been using it a long time and never had an issue until this updated fsuipc.  So which side is conflicting with which is hard for me to determine.  I have another workaround which unfortunately means I skip Fsuipc for my axes.  I have remapped everything in SPAD.Next including my custom bandings.  SPAD.next, like Fsuipc supports LVARS so I was able to replicate all the functions I need.  It's all working for me again.  Axes, special bandings and my gauges through Simpanel.  

Thank you for all your help

Have you ever try assigning to the more usual FS contorls in FSUIPC instead of "direct to calibration". Then try both with, and without, calibration. There are also other options which you can try, but one step at a time.

If you are in the habit of deleting everything every time you update FSUIPC I am not surprised things change. You probably made other changes now lost.

And I have STILL never seen any log with the data I requested. I think it is a bit pointless me trying to help if you don't do such a simple thing, now requested at least two or three times.  If you don't want me to help any more, so be it.

As a matter of interest, and curiosity, I installed that "ipcInit.lua" plug-in into my P3D modules folder.

Being named "ipcInit" it gets loaded automatically when the system is started -- it doesn't even wait till the sim is "ready to fly" (as the ipcReady.lua would have to), so I had to enable Lua debug/trace mode beforehand ("DebugLua=Yes").

This isn't very informative, because, being compiled there's no logging of the actual commands which are being executed. The log you get, in the case of any aircraft I may be using at least, is:

    30811 Running in "Lockheed Martin® Prepar3D® v3", Version: 3.4.22.19868 (SimConnect: 3.4.0.0)

    30842 *** LUA Error: ipcinit_SOURCE.lua:36: attempt to perform arithmetic on global 'HOBHR4' (a nil value)

It seems it never actually sets Global variable HOBHR4, at least it doesn't on its own. Are you sure there isn't another Lua file in your Modules folder which is also being run?  Presumably one of those lines above (10-35) checks the name of the aircraft you load, or perhaps the existence of a specific L:Val, the if it matches what it wants, sets a value to that Global -- but if so, it must do that all in one line because there's no "jumps" (no discontinuity in the lines numbers showing the execution order).

At present I just cannot imagine what this plug-in could do to nullify the action of your assigned axes, which you say work fine when this plug-in is removed. I might try creating the global HOBHR4 in another Lua to try to stop yuor plug-in crashing.

Even more intriguing, not to mention 'strange'. If I set a value to a Global "HOBHR4", the ipcInit plug in still crashes with a nil value for it. So it must actually set it to nil deliberately, before trying to do impossible arithmetic with it!

... No. I just put traps in FSUIPC where the Lua "ipc.set" and "ipc.get" functions ar processed, and ipcInit calls neither. So it isn't actually trying to get that value before using it. Curiouser and curiouser.

I can't really do anything else. I think you are in the hands of your panel builder support. But do try the alternative methods of assigning I mentioned, just in case.

Hello Pete,

Thanks for being curious and pushing the investigation.  Firstly, I double checked, there are no other lua files in the modules folder.

Next, I tried assigning axes by using the direct to FS method.  I assigned to the "axis aileron set" and "axis elevator set".  Nothing works while the lua file is present.  Pull it out and everything is fine.

Attached are the most recent logs.  In both cases, axes logging is on, I try some moves with the yoke.  I also try to change aircraft. 

In the log with LUA present, there doesn't seem to be any axes movements and then the LUA error appears after trying to change aircraft.

In the log without the LUA file, everything works just fine it seems.

Unfortunately the Log with Lua is not really that useful at all, because you don't have the axis logging enabled for that one! 

See this:

      219 LogOptions=10000000 00000001

for the "no lua" one, with this:

      234 LogOptions=00000000 00000001

for the "with lua" one.

That first "1" digit is the axis log option!

Later you did enable that logging:

   306328 LogOptions changed, now 10000000 00000001
   306437 ***  AXIS: Cntrl= 65786 (0x000100fa), Param= 50 (0x00000032) SPOILERS_SET

   348718 LogOptions changed, now 00000000 00000001

but then changed aircraft soon after. Why? And why are you disabling that option afterwards? Better whilst investigating this if it was on from the start, as it was in the case of the "no lua" one.

BTW do the axes start working immediately after the Lua plug-in crashes? Because it won't be running then. Or has it managed to do some permanent damage?

Have you contacted the authors of that plug-in, to see what they say about this?

Pete

P.S. Again, you posted a log without the final close messages included (the With Lua one). Please don't cut it short.

Hi Dan,

I had the same problem with 'HOBHR4' nil value. I posted today & Pete replied. Please check my post "Upgrade from 4.949f to 4.962 & simconnect". The fault is in the A2A simplugins add-on. I am going to pursue this with Simplugins. Let me know if you have any question that I might help with. Pete remembered the 'HOBHR4' connection, I did a search & came up with this thread. I saw your thread initially but did not read far enough!

Hello Gene,

Sorry for the late reply.  I have been out of the country and was not in the sim world.  I will look into your post, thank you.

Did you hear anything from Simplugins?

Thanks
