P3dv4.2 FSUIPC Buttons + Switches problem

[emersonbattle]

Hello,

I'm having a problem getting FSUIPC to recognize my keyboard entries. What I mean is that if I navigate to the "Buttons + Switches" tab and press any button on my keyboard it is not recognized. If I press any button on my joystick or throttles they are recognized without issue, but with the keyboard... nothing. At the moment I'm having this problem with 5.123c, but I had the same problem with 5.121b. All my keys are recognized by windows AND by P3D itself. At one point things worked with no problems, but the last time I assigned any key commands was with P3Dv4.0. I can't say for sure when things went bad.

I've tried using both my cordless (Logitech K800) keyboard and my USB keyboard that the manufacturer provided. No joy either way. Can anyone point me towards a fix for my problem?

 

Thanks for your time,

Emerson

Dowload and install FSUIPC 5.123e from the Download Links subforum above. That is the latest version.

Ok, I updated to 5.123e, but I still have the same problem others have reported with 5.123c. My menu flickers and doesn't allow me to open FSUIPC from the menu bar. Eventually it crashes and the menu flicker stops, but I loose all FSUIPC functionality.  : - (

Just like Grant has reported

My apologies. I typed these in backwards. It should've read

"At the moment I'm having this problem with 5.121b, but I had the same problem with 5.123c"

I rolled back to 5.121 once I realized I had problems, but the problem remains with the older version as well.

5.123e has no problems. If your P3D4 isn't behaving you need to look elsewhere. There are lots of assorted new problems with it which you'll see if you visit the L-M forums. 

If you only updated the Client then that could be the source of some of the problems, as it seems this update needs the Content updated as well.

Mr. Dowson,

I apologize... it seems as though you're a little irritated with me. It wasn't my intent to come across as combative or slinging mud at your product. I'm not a programmer or anything like that, so from my perspective I see P3d doesn't behave properly while FSUIPC is running, but seems to behave better once it crashes FSUIPC. So I thought the FSUIPC would be the best place to start. That's it. I have been using FSUIPC for probably 10 years now and I really like it. I don't mean to come across as any other way. I'll go over to the LM forums and try to fix my problem there.

Enjoy your day.

No, not at all. Why do you think that?

BTW Version 5.124 is released. You need to update now.

I'm glad I just misunderstood. Thanks.

Can't talk now... got some updating to do. :-)

[emersonbattle]

First of all: Thank you! 5.124 doesn't crash!

However... I still can't get FSUIPC's Buttons + Switches tab to recognize keyboard inputs. :-(

The funny thing is... its JUST that one tab. If I click to any other tab I can use the keyboard without problem. Any ideas? Anything I could try to give you additional information?

 

***DISREGARD ALL***

I should've been using the Key Presses tab instead of Buttons + Switches. I took my dunce cap off and suddenly things started working. :-)

Sorry about wasting your time. Thanks for the help none the less.

Hi emersonbattle, I have similar problems. I just got a CRJ, & it's difficult to work the ap in VR.   I want to bind some too my yolk, but some key tab presses work, & some not.   Even without  FSUIC, some commands don't work on the keyboard.
