FSUIPC works only when he has the focus

Sorry, what do you mean?

FSUIPC "works" without focus. The only functionality that may be different when FSUIPC7 has focus compared to when MSFS has focus is in the key assignments area, and this is due to lack of support (in the MFS SDK) for various keys, and a bug in the numpad keys where they are only sent when numlock is off (when it should be when numlock is on). If thats your issue, then there are already various support requests on this issue (and this has been reported to Asobo).

For all other functionality, the focus is not important. Why do you think it is? What is your actual issue?

But what exactly is your issue? If you can explain it rather than saying "FSUIPC works only when he has the focus" then maybe I can help.

What exactly are you trying to do/achieve?

No, this is not possible and if it was it would cause many issues!

There are various issues with receiving keys via SimConnect when MSFS has the focus. Please check the MSFS SDK documentation if you want to see what keys are working (although even in this, the numpad keys don't work!). Looking at your assignments, the ones you have to normal keys (D, E, Z, Q, T) should work - have you tried these when MSFS has the focus?

For numpad keys, MSFS only sends these when numlock is off (when it should send them when numlock is on). Please see this thread for this: 

I'm not sure why your F1-F7 aren't working - these should be ok according to the documentation. I'll take a look (when time permits), and look into it or raise with Asobo if this is an issue with MSFS.

FYI, this is the current MSFS documentation on key inputs, upon which FSUIPC7 relies to receive these from MSFS:

I've just checked these and they should be fine. Are these assignments working for you when MSFS has the focus? They should work when both MSFS has the focus, and when FSUIPC7 has the focus (but not when neither have the focus). If not, enable logging for Buttons & Keys, then press those keys when MSFS has the focus and send me the log and I'll take a look.

The log is a continuation log and shows nothing. Please send me a full log, do not start a new one.

You also seem to be getting a lot of FUEL SELECTOR events for whatever aircraft you loaded. These aren't of interest - you can add this line to the [General] section of your FSUIPC7.ini to prevent these being logged:
    DontLogThese=65962,66523

Press some keys when FSUIPC7 has the focus first, then switch focus to MSFS and press some other keys. Try standard letters initially, to see if you are getting anything at all.

Hi.

I have the same problem, if I have focused the Fsuipc7 windows, the console log show the key pressed, and works in FS2020, but if I have focused in FS2020 Windows the console received nothing. 

I attach the ini file.

Thanks in advance.

What keys are you using? When MSFS has the focus, only key input events seen by SimConnect will be recognised. For example, try pressing the standard letter keys - are you saying that FSUIPC7 doesn't see those when MSFS has the focus?

Posted

Yes, I have tried with standard keys and multiples keys, always works if focus is in FSUIP Window.

 

Paste an example:

[Keys]
1=70,10,66288,0     -{ctl+F: Press=TOGGLE_FLIGHT_DIRECTOR }-
2=118,8,65603,0     -{F7: Press=FLAPS_DOWN }-
5=76,8,65751,0     -{L: Press=LANDING_LIGHTS_TOGGLE }-

Those keys are recognised. Could you activate logging for Buttons & Keys, press each of those key assignments and then show me your log.
This is what I see pressing those keys when MSFS has the focus (with no assignments to them):

Hi.

FSUIPC recognize the keys and works perfect but if I lose the focus in FSUIPC windows, the console log not show events and FS2020 not receive.

I can not attach .ini because the forum limits me to 20kb upload.

To receive keyboard input, either FSUIPC7 or MSFS must have the focus.
As I have said, please show me your log file when MSFS has the focus, as you have said that the keys aren't being seen for this.
The log file you attached shows the keys being seen and the controls being sent (but I have no idea which app had the focus when you did this).

Keyboard input will NOT BE SEEN if neither MSFS nor FSUIPC7 has the focus - the input will go to the app with focus, there is no way to receive such input.

Hi Pete.

I'm using a SCPascal Script to communicate SISMO MCP to FSUIPC and sendkey function to a FS2020 windows, I have change to FSUIPC Windows and works perfect.

Thanks for your support.

So you are using the FSUIPC SDK to send keys? Or are you using the windows SendKey function?
I am confused now about your support requests in this topic. Do you require assistance or not? What are you trying to do?

Your previous posts were (or seemed) to be about not seeing key presses when MSFS has the focus, and now you are talking about sending key presses.

If you require any further support, can you please clarify what you are trying to do and what your issues is.

Thanks,

John

Hi John.

Finally, I can send keys or changes values of offset to MSFS. So for this problem I don't need assistance.  But I can detect changes on MSFS, I try to explain my case:

- I have MCP/EFIS from SISMO Solutions

- I'm trying to rewrite the scripts to communicate from MCP to MSFS using FSUIPC

- Scripts using SC-Pascal

Actually I can send changes from hardware to FSUIPC and to MSFS, so I can connect to FSUIPC correctly, and I can read offset from FSUIPC/MSFS, but there is a function "OnFSUIPCChange" that detect if an offset change in MSFS and read the change, so I can send this change to MCP. But is not working, the scripts is not detecting the changes, anyway in the FSUIPC Console show the changes, so I think it's not a problem with FSUIPC.

Maybe you could give me a clue.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I have no idea. Is the 'OnFSUIPCChange' function from the the SC-Pascal SDK? If that is the function that isn't working as expected, you need to contact the author of that for assistance.
