Create Mouse Macro button No availabe

[Adel Ahmed]

Hi

i cannot find the "Create Mouse Macro" button in fsuipc, please advice 

[John Dowson]

Look again - I cannot see how there cannot be a Create Mouse Macro button in both the Key Presses tab (top right) and in the Buttons + Switches tab (bottom left).. 
Like like this is missing from the screenshot of the Buttons + Switches tab in the User guide though...

John

P.S. I will delete your similar post in the FAQ section.

That is very strange...I don't understand how that button can't be present...
Can you please download the latest FSUIPC4 installer again and re-install and check again. If not there, please show me your installation log file.

Note that, as the manual states, you need at least SP1 installed for the macro creation facilities to be available - check that you have that installed.

John

[Adel Ahmed]

ok will do that and let you know , thanks again 

one last thing do i need to run as administrator when i re- install ?

No - the installer will request admin privileges when you run it which you need to accept.

As I said, please show me your FSUIPC4 Install.log file. There is no other version, but (as I also said), you need FSX with at least SP1 installed. Mouse macros will also not be available if using the latest FSX beta, build 63003 - see

You are using the latest FSX-SE beta. I am surprised that FSUIPC4 is working at all! Please see that post I previously referenced as you are using the latest beta. Mouse macros will not work in this version. If you want to use Mouse macros, you should opt-out of the beta and revert to the pre-beta release (62615)))).

John

[Adel Ahmed]

Hi , ok thanks 

but how i can revert to 62615 , where i can get ? any idea , i search whole google cant find this version

You need to opt-out of the beta program in steam (you must have opted-in, no?). To do this:

You can opt out of the beta at any time by doing the following:

• Open Steam
• Open the Library tab
• Right click on Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition [g2610build]
• Select Properties from the menu
• Select the Beta tab at the top
• From the drop down menu, select NONE - Opt out of all beta programs
• FSX: Steam Edition will now update back to the LIVE version of the software
• In the Steam Library, your game will be listed as Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition

No. FSUIPC4 was closed for new development many years ago. We provide a version that works with the beta, but with reduced functionality (e.g. no mouse macros). There will be no further updates. There is really no need to use this beta - this is the description:

Quote

We've released a new beta branch for FSX:SE that will help us gain valuable new telemetry data that will help us in the development of the new Microsoft Flight Simulator. If you are interested in assisting us with this process, please follow the link below, select the branch labeled fsx-beta – External Beta and select “yes” when asked if you allow telemetry. Remember that you are always able to opt out of the beta branch and return to the normal branch at any time.

i.e. it was only released to allow more data to be collected for the development of MSFS2020.

There is no Create Mouse Macro button  in FSUIPC7 - FSUIPC7 / MSFS2020 does not support mouse macros.

Note also that there is a specific sub-forum for FSUIPC7: https://forum.simflight.com/forum/183-fsuipc7-msfs/

John

[Philipp1986]

Thank you!

I have bought FSUIPC 7 especially for this option as I used to in P3D before (saw screenshots on Simmarket) 

"There is no Create Mouse Macro button  in FSUIPC7"- Pls see enclosed screenshot where the button is exist.

[John Dowson]

Looks like I forgot to remove that button....not sure how that has not been noticed before. I will remove in the next release. From the Advanced User guide:

Quote

Mouse macros
Mouse macros are currently not available in FSUIPC7, pending facilities to be implemented in the SDK
 

But there are and most probably never will be mouse macros for MSFS. The facilities in the SDK just do not exist to implement such a feature, and probably never will.
MSFS has hvars instead (html variables), as well as calculator code that can be executed via presets. You should look into what presets are available (see https://hubhop.mobiflight.com/presets/) for the function that you want to implement via mouse macros. Presets are far easier to use than mouse macros.
