Issue with Auto.xxxx

[tommyh454]

I'm trying to load a couple of Lua scripts for only certain aircraft profiles. In this case the Flysim Learjet 35A.

Apparently I'm missing something and would appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction  

 

The 2 scripts work fine if started with just [Auto]. 

But will not work when loaded with  [Auto.Lear35] 

 

Fsuipc.ini  (parts)

ShortAircraftNameOk=Substring

UseProfiles=Files  ( Modules\Profiles I have Lear35.ini for the profile name. )

 

[Auto]

[Auto.Lear35]
1=Lua Get_Gear_Height
2=Lua Lear35Controls2

 

[Profile.Lear35]
1=Learjet 35A N925DM
2=Learjet 35A N950SP
3=Learjet 35A N454TH

 

 

From the FSUIPC log.

E:\Prepar3D v4\SimObjects\Airplanes\FLYSIM Learjet 35A\Learjet35A.air
    The user object is 'Learjet 35A N454TH'
    

 

FSUIPC5 5.152

Prepar3D v4  4.5.13.32097

Win 10

 

For reference I using this from the Advance Users guide. Page 39

[Auto.xxxx...]
where the xxxx part is the aircraft name, or part-name (as in Aircraft Specific sections), or a profile name when profiles are being used.

Thanks for any help.

Hi,

best is as always to attach your unmodified/ complete FSUIPC5.log and FSUIPC5,ini files to maybe identify already an error. Just copy and paste their content or zip those files and attach them.

There is also a separate document you should read if you are using profiles in separate files, called (unsurprisingly) Profiles in Separate Files.pdf.

I suspect that your problem is that the [Auto] section in your Lear35.ini should just be called [Auto] and not [Auto.Lear35] - the latter is used in your FSUIPC5.ini file when you are using profiles but NOT in separate files.

Thanks, I will upload the complete logs in a hour or so , as soon as I finish this flight.

Ok here is the FSUIPC log, *ini and Lear35.ini

Those two scripts in [Auto.Lear35] will not load.

They work fine if called by a button, or if placed in [Auto]

Thanks for taking a look at this.

FSUIPC5.log FSUIPC5.ini Lear35.ini

[John Dowson]

As I indicated, your [Auto.Lear35] section in your FSUIPC5.ini file, should be in your Lears5.ini  file but as an [Auto] section.

Now I understand what you were saying. That works great and all is well in Sim land. Thank you for the help. 

[John Dowson]

No problem. The documentation is not too clear on this - I'll update it for the next release.

Happy flying!
