Issue with Key Assignment and Fenix A320 presets

[ricky74]

Hi,

I was trying ti assign HEADING INC and DEC to key combo CTRL+SHIFT+Q and CTRL+SHIFT+W via FSUIPC and Select for Preset function with Mobifly (see attached screen) but it doesn't work.

I remeber that last week I've assigne this command without no problem and worked perfectly. Then I deleted all Key assignment because I wanted to renew all command for my specific needs. So today I repeat the steps to assign Preset function but it doesn't work. Any solution?

Can you please attach your files and not screenshots. I need yo see your FSUIPC7.ini and FSUIPC7.log files, the latter generated with logging for Buttons & Keys and Events activated: start MSFS and FSUIPC7, activate the logging (Log->Buttons & Keys, Log->Events), load your aircraft, test the assignment then exit FSUIPC7 and attach those files.

Hi John, problem solved. I restart the sim and works perfectly.

But if you want I can attach or copy the FSUIPC.ini file, but the .log where is? Do you want I attach here or copy as text?

No need to attach if it is now working.

However. you should not need to restart for this to work, If you find that key assignments are not working, exit FSUIPC7 and then attach the log file. The log file is in the same place as the ini, in your FSUIPC7 installation folder. If you can't see it, you have Windows Explorer set to hide the extension of known file types.

There does seem to be an ongoing issue where key presses are sometimes not being sent from MSFS to FSUIPC7. If this happens, you can try disconnecting and re-connecting to MSFS (using FSUIPC7's MSFS menu) or restarting FSUIPC7. This also seems to be due to the timing of when FSUIPC7 connects to MSFS when auto-started, so you can also try increasing the DetectToConnectDelayAuto ini parameter by 5 (seconds) or so.

ini parameter name corrected, keep = key

Many thanks John.

I presume you mean >key presses<?

For some reason I have this quite regularly (not always) since not long ago. Key presses don't trigger their assigned actions. After a restart of FSUIPC, everything is working as intended again. I will increase the delay as you suggest. The delay is 85 right now, and I guess the value comes from auto tuning, because I can't remember setting something up myself.

Yes - corrected.

I have also delayed the request of keys from MSFS to prevent this issue (or to at least make it less likely to occur) in the next release. I have attached a beta with this update below if you would like to try it. With this version, you should be able to keep the delay at 85, although there should also be no issue increasing this slightly.

Thanks, John!

I may be able to test the beta later in the week. I'm occupied with work, unfortunately.

Hi John, just to let you know,

in the meantime, I think I loaded four to five flights and on all flights the keys did work with your provided beta. This looks promising. Thank you!

Thanks for the update. Note that this fix has now been released in the latest version of FSUIPC7, v7,4,17.
