In MSFS 2020, everything works wonderfully. But not so much with the beta in 2024. The tool recognises the connection to the simulator, but the ‘Flight Stage’ point always remains red. Is there perhaps a solution for this? I don't know and do not support 'A Pilot's Life'. You should contact them first - maybe that needs an update for MSFS2024? Otherwise, I would need to know what this app uses to determine the 'flight stage'. The image you attached also shows FLIGHT SIMULATOR DISCONNECTED, so its not surprising that the flight stage is not started.

Is there perhaps a solution for this? @BlackLiverieZ To help you out: The current BETA version of FSUIPC does not work with APL 2. You should use 7.4.18 stable version, and manually start FSUIPC when you are loaded in FS2024, and then start APL 2.
BlackLiverieZ Posted November 24 Report Posted November 24 @John Dowson Okay, the picture was just to show what this bar looks like. Here is a picture that shows the correct result. APL2 is an external software that simply tracks flights like an ACARS. It doesn't matter which simulator is used. It works with X-Plane, P3D, etc. To do that, it uses the FSUIPC, XUIPC, etc. @ValorV Version 7.4.18 is only intended for the MSFS 2020, isn't it?

If there is an issue with APL2 using this beta, then they should contact me to explain what this issue is. As I say, I can only support FSUIPC, not 3rd party programs that use FSUIPC.

The current answers are in the discord. Ovi will be contacting John himself.
NovemberUniform Posted November 25 Report Posted November 25 If I read the log correctly, my WASM is crashing almost instantly, when loading the Fenix A320. I have tried multiple times with same result. I have applied the same ini settings as in MSFS2020, where there were no problems with WASM crashes afterwards (before with default ini, there were occasional crashes). See ini and log attached. Thanks. FSUIPC_WASM.ini FSUIPC_WASM.log

See ini and log attached. You have lvarScanFrequency set to -10, i.e scan every 10 seconds. To prevent the WASM crash, you need to disable lvar scanning by setting this to 0, and maybe also increase the lvarScanDelay parameter - but not necessary if any lvars that you are using directly (i.e. not via presets or calc. code) are found in the first scan, You only need to increase this is using lvars directly (adding to offsets, or in lua or macros) and they are not found in the initial scan. Please see the FAQ entry on this issue. 1

kaha Posted November 26 Report Posted November 26 John, if I go back to main menu after a flight and then load my next flight, lua scripts from the [AUTO] section are not started. again. This works on the first flight after starting up the sim, but not for the next one. Please see the log file. Karl FSUIPC7_log.zip

John Dowson Posted November 26 Author Report Posted November 26 @kaha Can you please check to see if the WASM is crashing, and if so disable lvar scanning. See the FAQ section for details on this. The WASM seems to be crashing a lot more in MSFS2024 - I will disable continual lvar scanning for the next release. Auto luas are only started once the lvars have been received (if the WAPI/WASM is installed and enabled). From your log, no lvars are being received when you restart, so it looks like the WASM has crashed. Check that and if you still have issues please set Debug level logging in both the WAPI and WASM, and show me both the FSUIPC7.log and FSUIPC_WASM.log files.
kaha Posted November 26 Report Posted November 26 (edited) One thing I noticed: The WASM log for 2024 is in this folder: ...../WASM/MSFS2020/...... Is there anything wrong with my installation? Karl Edited November 26 by John Dowson image deleted

Is there anything wrong with my installation? No, that is where MSFS puts it. It seems that it detects that it is compiled with the MSFS2020 SDK it creates the persistent storage area in that folder, and presumably for WASMSs compiled with the MSFS2024 SDK it will use the MSFS2024 folder.

jabloomf1230 Posted November 28 Report Posted November 28 On 11/22/2024 at 1:27 PM, John Dowson said: @jabloomf1230 The clear function in FSUIPC only clears the FSUIPC assignments. not the ones in MSFS. It is up to you to either create an empty profile in MSFS, or delete any assignments to a button/Switch/key/Axis in MSFS of assigning in FSUIPC. Other than that, I am not sure what your issue is. Your log file looks ok, but shows you are using 7.5.0a. Please download and update to 7.5.0b. Thats it from me for tonight.... John Hey John, I discovered that the MSFS2024 Clear function under Controls/Settings does not consistently clear settings for me from an existing controller profile. One has to duplicate both the General and Airplanes profiles and then manually delete all the button and axis assignments to assure none will conflict with FSUIPC7. Now FSUIPC7 works perfectly for me in MSFS2024.

Fragtality Posted November 28 Report Posted November 28 Is it possible to configure the RunIf Commands in such a Way that they are only started on a specific MSFS Version? If not: maybe an Optional Parameter for that would be good (when not defined it means both)

Not at the moment - you would have to use separate installations, or ini files. 10 hours ago, Fragtality said: If not: maybe an Optional Parameter for that would be good (when not defined it means both) Maybe. I can kook into this after 7.5.0 has been released. 1
John Dowson Posted November 29 Author Report Posted November 29 I am closing / locking this topic now, and will remove it completely in a few days. The 7.5.0-beta release is now available with an installer from the following topic: John
