I'm currently running FSUIPC 4.600a...would version make any difference???...

Hi Steve. yes it may, get that updated, then jump on Fred's offer of skype help.From your description, first thing to check after that is the sioc.ini [MASTERS] section getting those device numbers sorted.

You guys are killing me!!...I've tried everything (most recent files from AVSIM) and now I can get the MCP to light up all "0's" but rotaries and switches don't work...I got excited when the MCP finally lit up only to be crushed when nothing worked...aaarrrrgggg!!!!!...I'm currently running FSUIPC 4.600a...would version make any difference???...Thanks in advance!!Steve Leingang

Steve,I know just how you feel but believe me, you will get it up and running. Fred, John and Roar all helped me get my MCP and EFIS working.With the latest download from Roar, it is all there - a fresh sioc.ini, the Lua files and sioc.ssi.Despite downloading the latest files, I still had issues with the A/T not working and both FD switches not working. I carried on and lo and behold, after two start ups of FSX it is now all working as it should.I have just completed a full programmed flight and auto land from LFBD - LEAL. Best flight yet and all systems are go.Back to the issue in hand, have you got the latest version of SIOC? It will be worth getting that as well as the latest FSUIPC. You can then start building from there.It took me a good two weeks to finally get it sorted and get it sorted, you will.Good luckGary Edited February 20, 2012 by bussgarfield

Devices are correct...I'm totally perplexed!!!...I'm running SOIC4.01 and FSUIPC4.801, last download update per Peter Dowson (from his forum)..NEW problem now...made the mistake of making NGX my default, was unaware of the consequences...CRASH!!!!...anybody got a fix for that???Steve(bummed) :(

Hi allHAve a small problem at the momentFlying from EGPH to EDDW loaded as usual and all is there except the MCP switches off after maybe 5 - 10 seconds. If I reload it is back and then away again after 5-10 secs etc etc etc.If I use the MCP it will stay on as long i use it but once I don't do anything anymore that's it. THe EFIS stays on not a probJust the MCP all lighs go off. Once I say reload script it is there.Hmmmm puzzledAny help?Thx IanSomething elseIf I hit ctrl-shift-w all weird numbers come up on the MCP and after the usual 5-10 goes off again . I use the ctrl -shift-w for the AESThx Ian

So I finished the flight and found a few more things.1st The EFIS works all the time.2nd the MCP as said before will switch off. If I then use the mouse on the MCP in PMDG. the OC MCP comes alive again but only stays onuntil I have finished with what I am doing on the MCP.No IdeaThx Ian

Well, no joy with the SIOC4.01 reinstallation...same button switches still not working on OC MCP but okay on 2D panel selection....bummer...Steve

Steve,Use the sioc monitor to check the lights and switches are oke in sioc (i guess they are as we tried that one before)Next put the checkmarks in fsuipc as we did before and open up the fsuipc console log. See what happens if you press the switches in fsuipc.It is rather strange as you make use of a standard lua so i am a bit confused here. I checked my switches and they all work so it should not be the lua file,SOmehting that is different in your config than in ours must be causing this. the difficulty being finding what it is of course. :Nerd:Best thing might be to work with Ian or me and compare exactly what is happening when trying the switches but i guess this will not be a easy onegood luck
