John Pettit Posted February 26, 2020 Report Posted February 26, 2020 Hi Pete, Currently I have a registered copy of FSUIPC5 (version 5.153) All was working well yesterday on my new flight computer. Today I had the following problem(s) when running Aerosoft A321 Professional on Prepar3Dv4.5 : After engine start the Autothrottle button illuminated green and would not disengage until restart of P3D. After re-start of P3D when engines had been started (and NO A/Throttle active green) the throttles would not function correctly, i.e. physical movement of Saitek throttles did not produce any Virtual Cockpit movement of throttles or engine RPM increase with normal movement. Oddly, if the throttles were 'pumped' back and forth, the engine rpm would slowly increase. All other axes of Saitek Pro flight controls (spoilers, flaps, rudders, toe-brakes) worked correctly according to FSUIPC assignment, as did the axes on the Thrustmaster 1600M joystick. I tried changing the aircraft model back to the Aerosoft A320 Professional which I had successfully used yesterday, but the problem persisted. Here is the FSUIPC5.log file: ********* FSUIPC5, Version 5.153 (12th December 2019) by Pete & John Dowson ********* Running inside Prepar3D v4 Module base=7FFC24BD0000 Windows 10 Home 64 Bit reported as Build 18363, Release ID: 1909 (OS 10.0) Prepar3D.exe version = 4.5.13.32097 Reading options from "C:\Prepar3D\Modules\FSUIPC5.ini" Checking the Registrations now ...

Any and all help much appreciated, as always. I am hoping it's something simple I've missed. I just tried the controls set-up on a Beech Baron BE58 and all axes work 100% on that model as assigned within FSUIPC. John NB: I removed my e-mail address from thefiles above for obvious reasons.
John Dowson Posted February 27, 2020 Report Posted February 27, 2020 Could you activate Axis controls logging (from the FSUIPC logging tab) and generate another FSUIPC5.log file showing your problem, and then upload this together with your FSUIPC5.ini file please. It seems strange that it was working one day and not the next - something must have changed. Do you know what? Can you also check to see if you have controllers disabled in P3D, and if not then check your P3D assignments as well. Cheers, John
John Pettit Posted February 27, 2020 Author Report Posted February 27, 2020 Hi John, I have done as requested. I confirm that P3Dv4 controls are NOT Enabled (there are no assignments for the throttle axes within P3Dv4). I have not changed anything that I am aware of since the system worked as intended. I reloaded my Aerosoft A320 Professional in P3Dv4 from a re-booted computer. The engines were running, so I ran the APU and cut both engines. I then loaded a new flight and restarted the engines on pushback. The engines started perfectly. Hardware throttle movement resulted in correct responses in the FSUIPC5 Calibration window, but NOT to the throttle response or engine instrument parameters in the Virtual Cockpit, i.e. no thrust produced.

John Dowson Posted February 27, 2020 Report Posted February 27, 2020 You seem to have your throttle1 assigned to your yoke: 2=0Z,256,D,9,0,0,0 -{ DIRECT: Throttle1 }- and have your throttle2 assigned to two different axis on your throttle quadrant: 8=3X,256,D,10,0,0,0 -{ DIRECT: Throttle2 }- 9=3Y,256,D,10,0,0,0 -{ DIRECT: Throttle2 }- Presumably you want both throttle1 and throttle2 on your throttle quadrant, no? Please try this first. If you are still having issues after you have resolved this, it may be that the A320/1 throttle axis don't play well with FSUIPC calibration due to priority levels. If this is the case, you could try switching the assignments from 'Send direct to FSUIPC Calibration' to 'Send to FS as normal axis', and use the Axis Throttle<n> Set controls instead. Note that you can ignore the errors reported in the log file - see this post for a (partial) explanation: Let me know how it goes. John
John Dowson Posted February 27, 2020 Report Posted February 27, 2020 Also could you also check your A320 configuration - what 'Throttle Axis count' are you using? This post shows how to set-up the A320 using a single throttle axis: https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/561341-aerosoft-airbus-professional-throttle-settings-using-fsuipc/ - but presumably you want to use a separate axis for throttle1 and throttle2, no? John
John Pettit Posted February 27, 2020 Author Report Posted February 27, 2020 Hi John, In response toyour first e-mail above:I have deleted/removed that second axis assigment to throttle 2. Now have 1 axis on Saitek Pro Yoke quadrant (right end) assigned to Throttle 1 and the left most axis on the Saitek Throttle Quadrant assigned to Throttle 2. This gives adjacent throttle levers. The middle levers on both lever quadrants are redundant in my set-up. I tried switching assignments as in the second part of your e-mail, but, no change. Yes, I wish to have both throttles working independently. I checked theconfigurator and it showed only one axis. I edited it to show two axes, but again, no change - still no throttle functioning. I did try switching the assignments from 'Send direct to FSUIPC Calibration' to 'Send to FS as normal axis', and use the Axis Throttle<n> Set controls instead: again,no change. ??? John
John Dowson Posted February 27, 2020 Report Posted February 27, 2020 I think you should be ok with 'Send direct to FSUIPC Calibration', so please use that and make sure that you have calibrated both throttle axis in FSUIPC. Once you've done that, can you re-upload your updated ini and log files, with the Axis controls logging activated (and using 2 axis in the configurator.). Please activate each throttle axis independently (throttle1 then throttle2) for the test. You can attach them to your post, no need to copy/paste them. Don't start a new log, and you can zip the log up if it is large. Thanks, John
John Pettit Posted February 28, 2020 Author Report Posted February 28, 2020 Hi John, Have done as requested. To be certain you have all relevant information I have included the complete previous log file in zipped format (the things I am learning to do!). I am beginning to think the problem lies in the interface between FSUIPC5 and Aerosoft A3xx Professional. When I load any other aircraft model the FSUIPC control assignments all work perfectly. Regards, John FSUIPC5.ini FSUIPC5.log FSUIPC5_previous.zip
John Pettit Posted February 28, 2020 Author Report Posted February 28, 2020 I have just completed a full uninstall and clean re-install of my Aerosoft A318/A321 Professional Bundle following precisely the instructions on Aerosoft Support website 'pinned' instruction set. The problem remains exactly as before -no change. As you can imagine, this is all incredibly frustrating. I posted the problem on the Aerosoft Support forum, but no reply as yet.
John Dowson Posted February 29, 2020 Report Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) You now have throttle1 assigned to two axis on your yoke (throttle): [Axes.A320] RangeRepeatRate=10 0=0Z,256,D,22,0,0,0 -{ DIRECT: Spoilers }-1=0U,256,D,9,0,0,0 -{ DIRECT: Throttle1 }- 2=0V,256,D,9,0,0,0 -{ DIRECT: Throttle1 }- Please remove one of these assignments. You also have your flaps assigned to 2 axis, but that is not relevant to your problem. For your log, did you do as requested, i.e move throttle1 fully forward then back, then the same for throttle2? Your log shows movements on many other axis. Could you repeat please and just use the throttles for the test. The initial throttle1 movement shows it only going as high as 7606 (less than half the full range) before it reduces, and then throttle2 the same, although later I can see higher values for both throttles, which is confusing... What maximum/minimum values are you seeing for each throttle in the calibration screen? ...later: just rechecked your log, and it tells me that the aircraft you used was the Aircraft="Beech Baron 58 BAV Flying Club G-BAVB"? I thought your problem was with the Aerosoft A320/A321? I am confused....could you remove that duplicate throttle1 assignment and provide the log of the suggested test with the correct aircraft please? John P.S. May also be a good idea to set AutoAssignLetters=Yes in your [JoyNames] section. This will prevent problems if/when you change your USB connections (which can give your devices different numbers).

John Pettit Posted March 1, 2020 Author Report Posted March 1, 2020 HiJ ohn, Apologies for causing you much grief. Here are the files attached as requested, with full axis movement of those assigned to throttle 1 and throttle 2. Full calibration was checked bforehand - full movement, no erratic responses. All axes checked for duplication and none found (I had spotted the previous duplication and removed it). At each stage I exited Prepar3D and rebooted the computer. Once it had all been checkd I then did the axis check as requested after a reboot and restart of P3D. For the Yoke Quadrant throttle the maximum value of 16,383 and a minimum of -16,384 was observed. For the Throttle Quadrant throttle the maximum value of 16,384 and a minimum of -16,254 was observed. Prior to all this I had removed all axis assigments within Prepar3D and only used FSUIPC5. After all this there was no thrust response to throttle lever movement Hopefully this information will now be of use. With many thanks, John FSUIPC5.log FSUIPC5.ini
John Pettit Posted March 2, 2020 Author Report Posted March 2, 2020 Hi John, Some additional information: this morning I started up P3Dv4 from cold and checked the .ini file. This did not show any changes to the GUIDs which still had numeric assignments. I then accessed FSUIPC Options again and re-checked. The Alpha assigments now appeared for all hardware except the T.16000M joystick which still has numeric GUID of 1. The numeric assigments were still listed. I have attached the latest .ini file. Can I change this by manually editing the .ini file? Should I do so? In addition I assigned buttons 23 and 7 (the buttons at the rear most travel of the two throttle axes) to the function 'Throttle x Decr Small' to act as thrust reversers. This worked correctly, with reverse thrust being applied to the A320, but which also correctly cancelled the reverse thrust when throttles were moved into forward thrust position. One thought did occur - might it be worth trying to completely uninstall, then re-install FSUIPC5? FSUIPC5.ini
John Dowson Posted March 2, 2020 Report Posted March 2, 2020 That last ini looks fine - it has assigned a letter to each of your device (which is now used in your assignments) and contains the joy id numbers as well, which is needed for the mapping to the letters. Not really much point re-installing FSUIPC - its only the dll that gets installed (as well as you documents). For the test, you moved each throttle independently as asked, no? If so, your logs show throttle1 and throttle2 controls being sent at the same time. You say that you removed all axis assignments in P3D, but these have a tendency to be re-assigned. Can you check again please - and its better to disable controllers completely if not assigning in P3D, or at least for these tests. Still, not seeing any reasonable values for your throttle movements in FSUIPC though, which is strange. I'll check to see what additional logging we can add to track this down and get back to you. John
John Pettit Posted March 2, 2020 Author Report Posted March 2, 2020 Hi John, I confirm each throttle was moved independently. In P3D I did disable all controllers by ensuring box was unticked. As an observation, when I had assigned the switches to activate reverse thrust the throttle 1 reverse worked as correctly when selected on its own. If I selected throttle 2 to activate reverse thrust on its own, it indicated REV but nothing more. Iit only worked correctly if throttle 1 was also actvated at the same time. When I go to Axis Calibration in FSUIPC5 I get full independent movement of each thrust lever axis. I will do the test again after a restart to be doubly sure. John
John Pettit Posted March 2, 2020 Author Report Posted March 2, 2020 Re the above: Test repeated - throttle 2 had dropped its assignment, so was re-assigned. A full calibration of each throttle was then done. Full range was indicated and set. Engines then were both started. Once started each engine throttle was advanced about 1 inch independently to check thrust response. No respones noted. This was repeated observing Virtual Cockpit thrust lever movement. No movement noted. Here again are the relevant ini and log files. In great appreciation, John FSUIPC5.ini FSUIPC5.zip
Pete Dowson Posted March 2, 2020 Report Posted March 2, 2020 3 minutes ago, John Pettit said: Here again are the relevant ini and log files. John asked me to see if I could help, so forgive me if I've missed something. Unfortunately the Log supplied is a "continuation" log -- you pressed the New Log button for some reason. Without the early part of the log, showing what has been detected and assigned and which aircraft is loaded it is difficult to know what to make of the part you have supplied. So, were you using the A320 in the Profile called "A320". Is that the only aircraft with which you have problems? If it was the A320 I'm rather worried and confused by your assignments: 1=AV,256,D,9,0,0,0 -{ DIRECT: Throttle1 }- 8=DX,256,D,10,0,0,0 -{ DIRECT: Throttle2 }- 9=DY,256,D,10,0,0,0 -{ DIRECT: Throttle2 }- You have Throttle 1 assign on your Saitek Yoke, and TWO axes assigned to Throttle 2 on your Saitek quadrant. So I'm not at all surprised by what you see happening. Have you tested your throttles in any other aircraft? I see you have two throttles assigned for the Baron, but oddly both to the Yoke along with the elevator, ailerons and the left prop pitch. The Aerosoft A320 is, I understand, a fairly sophisticated model, and it may be doing rather different things with some of the axes, like the PMDG Boeings, which read axis values at a higher level so you would need to assign to the regular "Axis Throttle" controls, not "Direct to FSUIPC calibration" as you have done. With PMDG aircraft you really can't calibrate in FSUIPC either because two different values might then be sent on to the sim's engine. The A320 may well be the same. However, before going down that route, try changing this line in the [JoystickCalibration.A320] section of the INI: UseAxisControlsForNRZ=No Change the No to Yes. Pete
John Dowson Posted March 2, 2020 Report Posted March 2, 2020 2 hours ago, John Pettit said: throttle 2 had dropped its assignment, so was re-assigned. In FSUIPC? Why do you think this? FSUIPC cannot 'drop assignments'. You now again have multiple assignments to your throttle2: 8=DX,256,D,10,0,0,0 -{ DIRECT: Throttle2 }- 9=DY,256,D,10,0,0,0 -{ DIRECT: Throttle2 }- Also, did you disable controllers completely in P3D, as advised (in Controls -> Other -> 'enable Controllers' checkbox not checked)? 2 hours ago, John Pettit said: Once started each engine throttle was advanced about 1 inch independently to check thrust response As advised, please advance each throttle independently through its FULL range. The log file attached is also a 'continuation log', i.e. you started a new log file. Please do not do this - I need to see the full log. ...later...and just saw Pete's response...try the change in UseAxisControlsForNRZ after you have finally generated the initial request log file please, i.e. - full log file (no continuation) - controllers disabled in P3D - each throttle axis assigned only once in FSUIPC - each throttle moved independently through its full range Thanks, John
John Pettit Posted March 2, 2020 Author Report Posted March 2, 2020 John and Pete, Regarding the dropped assignment - I don't know what else to call it. I have just rebooted my computer and started P3D. I loaded the Aerosoft A320 Pro at EGLL stand 521. The following is a step by step description of what I did and what I found: 1. Opened P3D Options>Controls>Other and checked Controllers Enabled box NOT ticked. 2. Opened FSUIPCv5 via ADDONS menu tab. 3. Opened 'Axis Assignments' to Profile A320. 4. Checked both throttle assignments independently with full throttle movement - both OK 5. Shut down P3D Will now go and change UseAxisControlsForNRZ in the ini file. I am assuming you want another test after I have made this change? We shall not be beaten! John FSUIPC5.log FSUIPC5.ini
John Dowson Posted March 2, 2020 Report Posted March 2, 2020 But your ini still shows duplicate throttle assignments for throttle2: 8=DX,256,D,10,0,0,0 -{ DIRECT: Throttle2 }- 9=DY,256,D,10,0,0,0 -{ DIRECT: Throttle2 }- And you also now have an additional custom control defined: 10=DZ,256,F,23,0,0,0 -{ TO SIM: Custom control: <23> }- Not sure what that one does... 6 minutes ago, John Pettit said: Will now go and change UseAxisControlsForNRZ in the ini file. I am assuming you want another test after I have made this change? Yes, after we get a log file produced with only one axis assigned to throttle1 and throttle2! Just delete one of those entries shown above (8 or 9) directly in your ini file (with P3D not loaded). This will remove that axis assignment. Really your log file is confusing as it is only/mainly showing parameter values of 0 and 16 to your THROTTLEn_SET controls. You could also try changing the throttle assignments for the A320 profile to 'Send to FS as normal axis' (rather than 'Send direct to FSUIPC calibration') and use the Axis Throttle<n> Set controls to see if you are getting throttle axis values through using that. John
John Pettit Posted March 2, 2020 Author Report Posted March 2, 2020 Well! I think we've solved it! After doing the test above I entered the ini file, found the appropriate line under UseAxisControlsForNRZ and changed the response to Yes. I restarted P3D and loade the A320 as before. Checked the throttle assigments were still OK, they were. I then operated each throttle independently and each throttle worked as required. One small anomaly, though. The reverse actuation on Throttle 2 switch onlyoperates in tandem with Throttle 2 switch. This is actually not a problem as I wouldn't use reverse on single engine operation. I shall now go flying and report back (briefly!). An enormous thank-you toyou both - your support has been immense as has your patience. Believe me when I say it's hugely appreciated. Best wishes, John
John Pettit Posted March 2, 2020 Author Report Posted March 2, 2020 And to confirm - flight from EGLL to EGPD in Aerosoft A320 Pro: all worked just as programmed. Again, many, many thanks!
