SU10 and FSUIPC7 MSFS

I  have released a new beta for SU10, including an updated WASM. Full installer available from:  Install FSUIPC7-7.3.9f

No Problems with 7.3.9f and recompiled Binaries (with the new FSUIPC_WAPID.dll)! 🙂

If I remember / assume correctly: I won't have to recompile again with a GA Version of 7.3.9? Or should I wait?

Good morning, John. 

I can confirm the current version of FSUIPC seems to work well with every aircraft, except the FENIX;.  I can read the LVARs via 'legacy offset' fine but can't seem to set them via WASM.   Interesting enough, the new FSUIPC seems to work just fine with the PMDG and every other aircraft.  So, I'm at a complete loss.  If there's something I can do to assist, please don't hesitate to ask.

You mean generally or in the Context of my Plugin? In case of PilotsDeck: John can't help you with that, but I can 😉

With my own app (FSFO) using Paul's .dll.  Were you able to resolve the issue with the Fenix?  I would appreciate you advice you have.

That depends if I update again before release...best to wait and recompile on release just in case.

Maybe Paul's dll needs to be rebuilt with the latest WAPI libs (not sure if you need to do this or just drop in the update WAPI lib or dll - ask Paul), or you need to rebuild your software using these. There have been some major changes in how the WAPi works in this release...anything that uses the WAPI will need to be recompiled with the latest libs.

Thanks, John; currently, the WAPID.dll just needs to be in the same directory as Paul's .dll.  I guess my struggles are why is the issues relegated to the Fenix.  However, that's my problem to solve :).  Thank you for the quick release of the version of FSUIPC...LVARs seem to load much smoother.

You mean FSFO as in https://flightsimfirstofficer.com/ ? ^^

Then my offer to have a look on the Code is not possible *g*
But you can have a look at mine, did not have to change anything for SU10:  https://github.com/Fragtality/PilotsDeck/tree/master/PilotsDeck/FSUIPC
I'll just dropped in the new FSUIPC_WAPID.dll from 7.3.9f recompiled the Plugin and was good to go 🙂 

[kingm56]

Unfortunately, I'm on a multi-continent business trip and really can't troubleshoot myself...frustrating!  The recompile wapid seems to work just fine with every other aircraft, except the Fenix...can't wait to get home and figure this one out.

Ok, then specific to the Fenix...

That is what I thought, but thanks for confirming...I tend to forget these things....

Good - should be better in the next release, without the need (or much need...I will still keep it for a while...) of the LvarScanDelay ini parameter.

[Fragtality]

@John Dowson Encountered the Error where the call to ipc.readLvar() Fails (returning nil). When I start a Flight, end it and start a new (same) Flight the Lua Scripts don't work anymore. The Plugin is working though in that Situation!
Restarting FSUIPC in that Situation fixes the Problem: the Scripts work again. But then the Connection (C# Client) from my Plugin is not fully working, I can write Lvars but can't read them - still have to investigate if that is on my End or not.

Don't know if it is only Fenix related (did not test something else), but the Steps are generally applyable to other ACs:
- Lua Script with event.timer trying to read any Lvar of that AC (loaded via [Auto.ACPROFILE] )
- Start a Session with AC
- Exit to Main Menu
- Start a new Session with AC

[John Dowson]

There is an issue with lvars not being loaded when you restart the same flight that I am looking in at the moment...for now, you could try setting
    StopWAPIInMenu=No
in the [General] section of your FSUIPC7.ini - but I think this also has issues in certain situations...

I will post a new release once this is resolved.

John,

Have you had a chance to update the WAPID.dll to work with latest WASM build? Im getting an error with C# app when using the latest FSUIPC beta.  Hoping you’re just crazy busy and didn’t include the new WAPID.dll in the latest WASM module download zip.  
 

The installed WASM version is 0.9.0 while the WAPI is expecting WASM version 0.5.9

Hello,

I have the same problem like kingm56 and since SU10. I use FSUIPC 7.3.9f and PilotsDeck 0.7.2.

I read the LVAR values without any problems, but I cant switch the status with the streamdeck. Can someone help me?

I have not updated the WASM zip file yet as I have still not released this. Currently its available in the latest beta download, in the SDK folder, so you will need to download this to get it for now - or use the attached: 

FSUIPC_WAPID.dll FSUIPC_WAPID.h

Since it is my Plugin you could ask me directly ;D 

Try to copy the FSUIPC_WAPID.dll from your FSUIPC7\Utils Folder to the Plugin Folder (%appdata%\Elgato\StreamDeck\Plugins\com.extension.pilotsdeck.sdPlugin)
(Stop the Streamdeck Software, copy the file, Start Streamdeck Software)

If that does not work, you'll have to wait until I could push the new Version.
If you really really can not wait, I could push the current Build?! *g*

Thank you, John.

Another update: FSUIPC_WAPID.dll

I am also now going to release 7.3.9h....done - see Announcements.

[Fragtality]

@bangaroo PilotsDeck 0.7.3 released and the Fenix Integration is also updated! Should work now (with FSUIPC7 7.3.9h installed!) 🙂

fabulous news, to you and @John Dowsonboth thank you greatly for your help despite my complete ignorance regarding FSUIPC and LVars and so on, will have to test when I get home from this trip but I'm very excited.

Have a great week!

Note that 7.3.9i has now been released, hopefully fixing the axis calibration issues. No change in the WAPI/WAPID though, so PilotsDeck 0.7.3 should still be fine, but I recommend updating to this latest release. I will publish this as the official 7.3.9 tomorrow (probably....!).

Thanks John!
If it works I'll wait with the Update for the official 7.3.9 Release ^^

Everything work again with FSUIPC 7.3.9 and PilotsDeck 0.7.3. Thank you both for your fantastic support! ❤️

Edit: with help from another user, I am making progress, was confused after SU10...

Have now assigned axes to specific actions which allows FSUIPC to work again...
