Flyer626 Posted December 21, 2021 Author Report Posted December 21, 2021 here are the new logs you requested with the axis box checked. Those spoilers logs that are not yours are me trying to using the GoFlight Interface tool for my GoFlight TQ6 Throttle set. It did not help and I will not open that app again. The software has not been updated and it didn't work anyway. FSUIPC6.ini FSUIPC6.zip
John Dowson Posted December 21, 2021 Report Posted December 21, 2021 The spoiler controls are being logged ok. I don't know why those controls aren't having any affect. You have assigned to 'Direct to FSUIPC Calibration'. You could try switching to using the FS control instead, and remove the spoiler calibration line under [JoystickCalibration.787]: Spoilers=-11903,-7168,-512,12223/24 The calibration looks a but strange in any case - you have a very large null zone set.
aua668 Posted December 21, 2021 Report Posted December 21, 2021 Hi, You should add a second line to your 787 section, as you had other entries too in you original list of settings. So the section should look like this: [Profile.787] 1=QualityWings 787 2=Boeing 787 Rgds Reinhard
Flyer626 Posted January 2, 2022 Author Report Posted January 2, 2022 thanks for info. Now back to my original issue with my speedbrake issue. I have reinstalled the QW 787 as recommended by QW support but it didn't change anything. I changed my qw config file to include a new panel state so the lights are now correctly configured upon startup. Still when I touch a joystick button I promptly lose my speedbrake setting again. Have you had a chance to review my axis log for the speedbrakes, so as to see if there is a clue as to why this happens. Thanks

Your log shows several autobrake controls being sent: Quote ... 790781 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 66299 (0x000102fb), Param= 0 (0x00000000) DECREASE_AUTOBRAKE_CONTROL ... 1091937 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 66298 (0x000102fa), Param= 0 (0x00000000) INCREASE_AUTOBRAKE_CONTROL ... 8783390 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 66298 (0x000102fa), Param= 0 (0x00000000) INCREASE_AUTOBRAKE_CONTROL ... 8783937 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 66298 (0x000102fa), Param= 0 (0x00000000) INCREASE_AUTOBRAKE_CONTROL ... 8784390 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 66298 (0x000102fa), Param= 0 (0x00000000) INCREASE_AUTOBRAKE_CONTROL ... 10611984 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 66299 (0x000102fb), Param= 0 (0x00000000) DECREASE_AUTOBRAKE_CONTROL However, these are not being sent by FSUIPC. You need to determine what is sending these controls. As this is not being done by FSUIPC, I'm afraid I don't think I can help you with this. Also, non if these events are being sent after a button press. Maybe you can try running with the logging console open to see what is actually logged when you press a joystick button (any one?) and lose your speedbrake setting, to see what events are being sent when this occurs. I cannot tell when this is happening when looking at your full log. John
Flyer626 Posted January 3, 2022 Author Report Posted January 3, 2022 I know this wayward signal is only coming from my Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas 4 joystick. It's only on the initialization of the aircraft and never happens again once setting is reinstated. I will have to figure out how to do open log while sim is open and see what is happening. I will also check the autobrake settings but I only do it manually by actually turning knob in aircraft. No buttons are set up for that. Thanks for trying.

Flyer626 Posted January 4, 2022 Author Report Posted January 4, 2022 hope this helps, it shows what happens. I included the text file to highlight the action consolelog.txt FSUIPC6.log
John Dowson Posted January 4, 2022 Report Posted January 4, 2022 The text file you attached does not correspond to the log file. Your log file shows that you have controllers on in P3D: Quote 187 Controllers are set to ON, using RawInput within P3D Best to disable controllers completely in P3D if assigning in FSUIPC, as P3D has a tendency to re-assign. check that you have no assignments in P3D, or just disable controllers completely. You also have spoilers assigned to two devices - your T.Flight Hotas 4 and your TQ6: Quote 3=1V,256,D,0,0,0,22 -{ DIRECT: Spoilers }- 7=3X,256,D,22,0,0,0 -{ DIRECT: Spoilers }- It is not a good idea using two distinct axes for the same control as they will not be syncronised and can send conflicting values. I suggest you delete one of those assignments. And your spoiler calibration looks strange, with a very large null zone: Spoilers=-11903,-7168,-512,12223/24 I suggest you re-calibrate your spoiler axis, once you have decided which axis to use.

Flyer626 Posted January 4, 2022 Author Report Posted January 4, 2022 interesting since my controllers in P3D are not enabled and I will have to look where in my Hotas joystick that assignment since I don't see it and I have checked, but I can see now why this is happening.
Flyer626 Posted January 4, 2022 Author Report Posted January 4, 2022 I have now checked again, I did notice on start up my controllers were enabled again, don't why this isn't saved once it is done once in P3D. Do I need to change it to Raw input or just leave it as Direct Input. The issue still exists with controller not enabled. If you need screen shots to show you this, I have to find another way then using V button to take the screen shot in P3D. Hotas joystick is allowing any and all buttons to deploy the spoilers on start up, I don't know where or who is making this setting. Like I said it only happens once and even without reenabling the settings it does not do it again. Is it the aircraft or Thrustmaster doing this setting I don't now know where it is coming from. The setting for my spoilers on my TQ6 quadrant is tricky but it works correctly to arm the speedbrakes right, don't know if I want to do anything since it works fine the way it is.
Flyer626 Posted January 4, 2022 Author Report Posted January 4, 2022 just a quick follow up after scanning on axis set up and I found a spoiler set on the V axis, ??? Have no idea where that came from or what is a V axis to begin with. I hope I cleared it, will let you know.
Flyer626 Posted January 4, 2022 Author Report Posted January 4, 2022 I think this is now resolved, cleared the "V" axis from FSUIPC and the issue has gone away. I never saw this setting in FSUIPC until I looked after this button was pushed that extended the spoilers and it became visible in axis assignment without even scanning. The Hotas joystick has no V axis properties. Where it came from I have no idea since it has been there right from the start before I even assigned the spoilers to the X axis and finished the calibration. Mystery.

Mystery. It is only there because you must have assigned this at some point. There is no way that it can be there otherwise. John
Flyer626 Posted January 5, 2022 Author Report Posted January 5, 2022 thought you would say that, I just disagree.
John Dowson Posted January 5, 2022 Report Posted January 5, 2022 21 minutes ago, Flyer626 said: thought you would say that You thought I would say what - that a) I pointed this dual assignment out to you? I did. Please re-read the comments. b) your Hotas has no V axis? If that is the case, how could an assignment to this "non-existent" axis cause you any issues, and why is your device reporting this as a valid axis? c) you must have manually assigned at some point? Well, I guess that is not 100% accurate. It can only be there if 1. It was assigned via the FSUIPC assignment dialogs 2. It was manually added by editing the file 3. Some other mysterious software added this for you (highly unlikely, but I do know of some utilities that try to do this for you) No point discussing this any further. Topic locked. John
