FSUIPC3 LUA files no longer working

[r22s7]

Hi there,

I am having a very strange problem with FSUIPC3 in FS2004. A few weeks ago, it suddenly decided to no longer load any of my LUA files.

This problem came seemingly out of nowhere. It is not any one specific LUA file, but any LUA file at all.

I have tried: 

Reinstalling FSUIPC

Reinstalling FS2004

The specific LUA file I want to use is called FreezeAlt.lua and it looks like this:

althi = ipc.readSD(0x574)
altlo = ipc.readUD(0x570)
while 1 do
   ipc.sleep(10) -- 10 mSecs = 100 times per sec
   ipc.writeUD(0x570,altlo)
   ipc.writeSD(0x574,althi)
end

I have also noticed after reinstalling FSUIPC, it has not generated an FSUIPC.ini file.

Below is a screenshot from FS2004. The LUA module would normally show up above LuaKillAll.

Any help is greatly appreciated. 🙂

Well, FSUIPC3 has not been changed for years. In fact it has really gone onto the unsupported list.

I don't see how reinstalling anything would change anything, unless you actually deleted all the files as well. Reinstalling FSUIPC basically simply replaces FSUIPC3.DLL with FSUIPC3.DLL.

It won't until you run FS2004 with FSUIPC installed. Did you delete the file and so lose all your settings?

Where are the Lua files? The y need to be in the same folder (Modules) as FSUIPC and the INI, LOG and KEY files. Are they listed in the INI file?

If you can't find the INI file then FSUIPC has never been run since you apparently and rashly deleted everything.
