FSUIPC 5 in P3Dv4 Joystick Axis not recognised

[Mickeyj]

Hello all,

first i would like to say that i never had any problems with FSUIPC. Great tool and the best control add on for us :) Unfortunately one of my Joysticks is not being recognised. It is a Komodosim Helicopter Collective. Rudder, Cyclic, TM Warthog stick and throttle all no problem just the collective is missing. P3Dv4´s control settings instead does actually see the collective and let me configure and calibrate it. So it works and im able to fly choppers in v4. 

In P3D3 and previous version i never had any problems with missing joystick axises. Even Lind FSX version 3 64bits compatible sees the collective. Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

MJ

Hi,

but you don't give any information! Please run a short session and after fully closed send the FSUIPC5.JoyScan.csv file a copy and paste the full content of your FSUIPC5.ini and FSUIPC5.log file.

In P3D3 was the version of FSUIPC4 being used up to date (4.968)? Because if it was you will get EXACTLY the same results in both FSUIPC5.102a (the current P3D4 version) and FSUIPC4. Without the information that Thomas mentioned, I'm guessing that your problem is the same as a known one.

The problem of missing devices is reported and already described in two other recent threads near here, one for FSUIPC4 and the one for FSUIPC5.

For FSUIPC5, in the most appropriate thread here, there is also a link posted to an update a 5.102b interim TEST version, which is working fine. It does really pay to look for similar reports in recent threads. That's why the Support of FSUIPC is done openly in public, so all can benefit.

Both FSUIPC4 and FSUIPC5 fixed versions will be in full Installer releases soon, probably Monday -- look out for FSUIPC 4.969 and FSUIPC 5.103 please.

G´day Pete,

thank you very much for the fast reply. As i recall i didnt have any problems in v3 with FSUIPC 4.968. Kinda strange. I hope that i can get to my PC soon, just became a dad and the girls just moved in today :)

 I keep you adviced about it and i will attach the files for further troubleshooting.

Well, in that case there's something odd going on. Because since version 5.102 they are both the same in all things to do with joysticks.

Yes, thanks. To save time exchanging more details, it might be a good idea to add more diagnostic logging before you run P3d4 again, as I need to make new releases on Monday so i could do with fast feedback if possible.

To do this please add these lines to the [General] section of the FSUIPC5.INI file:

Debug=Please
LogExtras=x200000

and before testing, please download this file, and copy the FSUIPC5.DLL from inside the ZIP into your P3D4 Modules folder.

FSUIPC5102b_TEST.zip

This is the Release Candidate for version 5.103 which I intended to release on Monday, if all is well.

When you supply the files listed by Thomas above, please ZIP them. The log in particular will be too big otherwise.

If you definitely were using FSUIPC version 4.968 in your P3D3 installation, and if you still have that installation working, perhaps you could also do the same there, same extra logging, so I can see why there's a difference when the code, whilst not identical (one is 32-bit the other 64-bit) are logically so, do different things. 

Oh, and congratulations on becoming a Dad! I'm a Dad too, three sprogs, but all 50 or more this year! (I am 74).

Thanks,
Pete
