If you will remember, Pete shells out the FSUIPC file and Simmarket sells the keys.

For what you actually need FSUIPC? I have it installed tho in Prepar3D v3 (free version) but never touched or used it? The AS16 Weather Radar needed FSUIPC free version?

Hi,

I don't know how old you are, but he deserves at least some respect.

If that was a joke, it sounded rude. Please take the time to say I am sorry to Pete. If you are serious then please take the time to say you are sorry. Pete has given more to this hobby than any one else here. Either way, we don't need you in this forum and I am 100 percent sure that most members will agree. 

Seriously guys, good grief!!! Who cares what someone says. Who are You? His dad???

 

This forum has turned into such a mockery and a Richard measuring contest.

Well Yes he is actually my Son and we both love the hobby. That is why I told him to be polite to Pete. Some times kids get out of hand.

Cheers

If you fly multiple types of aircraft and have dual throttle quads then you really need Fsuipc's profiles functions which will configure your throttles correctly as each aircraft is loaded in the sim.

If you have lots of external hardware then Fsuipc's button and switch programming and mouse macro creation is essential, plus conditional button programming this all also works with the profiles.

Imagine switching from a simple twin piston aircraft to the NGX and having to configure tons of switches and buttons and your throttle quads using the P3D controls dialog every time, with Fsuipc profiles it's automatic.

It does so much more but really you need to read the documentation, it would take me too long to write it all out here but it's one of those programs that if you don't know why you need it, then you probably don't need it.

A lot of add ons use it. It's not just for key/button asignments.

I bought FSUIPC4 via simmarket. Do i have to buy a key for v5 again ? Many Thanks

Yes, you do need to buy a key for v5. Same like you had to pay for P3Dv4, even when you had v3.

To find out what FSUIPC is all about, download the free version, & read the docs. Simple!

I use SPAD.next for all my Saitek equipment and create profiles for P3dv3, P3Dv4, and X Plane 11 and they automatically switch to the correct profile regardless of what sim I'm running or aircraft, you might want to check it out. It's a pretty amazing replacement for Saitek equipment and also pairs well with VoiceAttack and has it's own Text to Speech.

Thanks for sharing appreciated will have a look :-)

Not only that, but for different aircraft you can adjust the response of all your controls, with joystick movement, called slope. You can also filter out noise from your controls if you have it, and there is an AI traffic limiter that works great etc. etc,  FSUIPC paid is a must have for any serious simmer, in my opinion. 

@Wobbie, thanks for clarification.

I think even if you can get by with the free version, Pete deserves for us to purchase it to reward him for his dedication to the community.

And besides,the more vacations we give him the more updares we get 😁😁😁😁

Oh no.  You just purchased FSUIPC4 which only works with P3D v3 and not with P3D v4. You need FSUIPC5 which is another purchase.  I suggest you contact Simmarket right away and see if you can get a refund or have them apply your purchase to the correct product.  As of right now the keys for FSUIPC5 are not yet available on Simmarket.

Hey joepoway if you are still checking this thread,  I also bought SPADnext a ways back but failed trying to connect a single switch to my Saitek equipment.  If I remember correct isn't there some sort of file one can share for for hookups of equipment?  Maybe it was aircraft profiles only?  Can't remember as it has been too long since I looked at SPADnext.

Guess I am asking is there some file/info you can share for Saitek stuff as I have them all with the exception of the individual gauges.  Would like to use your profile if possible?

Pete keeps saying Simmarket only needs to provide a sales page for the key, and now three days later still nothing available at Simmarket.  Maybe Pete needs to start looking for a new sales channel?
