Question ...

[pndekker]

Dear Mr Dawson,                                                                6 november 2024

 

I hope you are willing and able to help me?

I have been a user of FSUIPC for flight simulator for many years.

I have been switching to MSFS2020 and FSUIPC7 for six months now.

I use Windows 11 with an Intel Icore 9. I have an old (one of the first MCPs) RS32) from CPFlight.

Till before MS2020 no problems with it.

 

 I understand that the FMC is working closely with FSUIPC7.

 Now, my problem is the following;

When I turn the buttons from the FMC in the test program,

all digits work quickly and follow the buttons perfectly!

 

When I start MSFS2020 with FSUIPC7 (latest version 7 7. 4. 18) then

the digits of (left) course and Ias/Mach are not tracking properly!

Numbers do not follow the dial quickly.

The other 4 digits Heading, Altitude, Vertical Speed and Course2 are perfect!

Do you know what is wrong maybe?

 

I'd love to hear from you

Kind regards, Paul Dekker

Please check the build date with this version - the first version I uploaded was incorrectly built against the MSFS2024 SDK. I later re-released, with the same version number, but with the build date updated. Check your FSUIPC7.log file - if you see this on the 1st line:

Quote

********* FSUIPC7, Version 7.4.18 (1st November 2024) by John Dowson *********

Then download and re-install. It should be:

But they follow the dial or not? Is this a speed issue (i.e. the numbers update slowly)?
What aircraft are toy using?

Can you please give me a more accurate description of your issue, and please show me / attach your FSUIPC7.log and FSUIPC7.ini files.

Thanks for you quick reaction John!

Course1 and Ias/mach  follow only by very slow dial its indeed a speed issue! Others are good!

I use PMDG 737

 

I hope sending you the right files...Iam not shure... its not my thing...sorry...

Your files are a bit strange,,,

First, you have disabled the WAPI:

Quote

      110 WASM installed but WAPI not enabled

Why have you done this? Your log indicates that you had assignments to presets:

Quote

      141 **** Preset 'PMDG_B737_Landing_Gear_Off' not found ****
...
    50125 **** Preset 'PMDG_B737-7_FUEL_CUT_OFF_LEVER1_UP' not found ****
    50125 **** Preset 'PMDG_B737-7_FUEL_CUT_OFF_LEVER1_DN' not found ****
    50125 **** Preset 'PMDG_B737-7_FUEL_CUT_OFF_LEVER2_UP' not found ****
    50125 **** Preset 'PMDG_B737-7_FUEL_CUT_OFF_LEVER2_DN' not found ****
 

but I can't see any assignments to these in your ini, but you do have (now invalid) assignments to custom control 0:

Quote

...
[Buttons]
,,,
4=PD,3,C0,0     -{Custom control: <0>}-
...
[Buttons.test]
0=PC,8,C0,0     -{Custom control: <0>}-
2=UC,8,C0,0     -{Custom control: <0>}-
3=PC,7,C0,0     -{Custom control: <0>}-
4=UC,7,C0,0     -{Custom control: <0>}-

Maybe these were assigned to presets, and as they are no longer available they have been removed - although this shouldn't really happen... I will check this.

Also, please use substrings for your aircraft profile names, i.e. change

Quote

[Profile.test]
1=PMDG 737-700 Transavia (PH-XRX | 2015)

to

Quote

[Profile.test]
1=PMDG 737-700

This will prevent issues with your profile not loading when you use a different variant.

As for your actual issue, I cannot help with this as this is done by the CPFlight driver/software, so you need support from them really, and I do not own or have access to any CPFlight equipment.

There are other CPFlight / FSUIPC users who may be able to help - maybe @fischkarl, @ppatys or @Ron Vogel can help?
