imperial321 Posted November 14, 2021 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 Hello, Is the Flight Illusion Transponder visible to FSUIPC so I can program the rotary switch, the only thing it can't do in prepar3d v5.2 (or any prepar3d version for that matter) LM did say they would probably incorporate it many years ago...alas fell on deaf ears..

All I can tell you is that FSUIPC will only recognise HID joystick type devices for direct assignments. Other types of HID devices can be used via the lua com library. I can provide you with a trial license if you would like to try it. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imperial321 Posted November 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 Hi John, I have just updated to the latest release and it seems to have broken the connection to all my Flight Illusion units... Can I have a link to the previous version please. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which version did you update from? What do you mean by 'broken'? 10 hours ago, imperial321 said: Can I have a link to the previous version please. No, only the latest version is available and supported. We need to determine what is causing your issue. Can you please explain what your issue is, and show me your .ini and .log files.

imperial321 Posted November 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 Hi John, Crisis averted...User error...Nothing to do with FSUIPC, somehow the power cable had come out/loose meaning the control unit was not getting power. Just seemed coincidental. All is well now. My sincerest apologies.. On the other issue regarding my devices/assignments dropping out it occurs when my Saitek trim wheel "Comes alive" during flight, I hear the ping as the device connects and then all controls freeze.

Make sure 'Allow computer to turn off the device ti save power' is unchecked. 13 hours ago, imperial321 said: I hear the ping as the device connects and then all controls freeze. All devices will be scanned again when a new device is detected, which can take a few seconds. Do you not regain control? 13 hours ago, imperial321 said: All is well now. My sincerest apologies.. No problem - glad its now working. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imperial321 Posted November 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 No John, I do not regain control until I have pressed reload all assignments. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imperial321 Posted November 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 In regards to the USB hub..there is one Fresno logic that continually resets itself to save power no matter what I do...very frustrating.. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dowson Posted November 18, 2021 Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 11 hours ago, imperial321 said: I do not regain control until I have pressed reload all assignments Ok. I'll check this and see if I can automatically reload on USB device reconnections if/when in a flight. However, better to try and stop the re-connection if possible. 11 hours ago, imperial321 said: In regards to the USB hub..there is one Fresno logic that continually resets itself to save power no matter what I do...very frustrating.. Is the trim wheel connected to this hub? If so try moving it. In fact, try changing it regardless of the hub you are currently using. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imperial321 Posted November 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 Thanks John, I will try that.. I just checked the hub and gone to windows allowing it to turn off, even though I unchecked it yesterday, always goes to checked.. VERY annoying..Trouble is I need the increase in USB ports...

VERY annoying..Trouble is I need the increase in USB ports... Treat yourself to a decent powered hub (or PCI card) for christmas! There are various recomendations if you search the forum (and probably more on avsim.com). This is the one I currently use (and have not had any issues): https://www.amazon.es/gp/product/B0797NWDCB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00 John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
