Do i really need FSUIPC

That question depends on how you fly and what you use. Take my example, I have multiple control devices(Thrust Master Boeing yoke/Throttles and the Thrust Master Warthog stick/throttles). I have this setup because I fly DCS and non combat sims. But in MSFS, I can have a FSUIPC profile where I have the 747 assigned to the Boeing devices with two engines assigned to each throttle. In the same moment, I also have a FSUIPC profile with airbuses assigned to the warthog stick and throttle. I can seamless switch between different aircraft with different setups using the FSUIPC profiles. I can also have different profiles with specifics for specific aircraft or have like a twin jet profile where I can have all my twin jets assigned to it. The MSFS profiles are painful for me to build and easily switch between.

Are you using SPAD? I encountered a similar issue this weekend and found it was related to SPAD.Next LVAR bridge connections. My issue was very repeatable, happening for exactly 5 minutes whenever I loaded into a flight - setting the MaxLVarSearchTime (default 5) lower shortens that window and set MaxDigBatch lower removed the issue for me completely. I have used SPAD.next for a long time (dating back to P3D) but I never noticed this issue until this week. Not sure if its related to an update on their end or something on the MSFS side but it was a true PITA to figure it out because closing SPAD does not make the issue go away and it was happening for me at every airport, with every airplane. I'm just happy I didn't go one more step into the deep-end and do a FS reinstall just to find that didn't fix the problem, because then I would have no hair left!

ok, that makes alot of sense! i was wanting to know how i can set up each throttle on my warthog....left throttle to control the left two engines (1&2) and right throttle to control 3&4. is FSUIPC The ONLY way to accomplish this? If thats the case, then Ill have to figure out why its causing such a rythmic spike. the flew the SWS PC12 Over Seattle (Drezwiecki) and was getting around 50-60fps and smooth as silk!

You don't need FSUIPC.

Get yourself satellite internet from Starlink. Reliable and plenty fast enough for gaming.

I assume you have Starlink? The wife an I have been seriously looking into it, better be good for 120 a month lol. I was curious, does it cut out in the rain/cloudy days like the old satellite TV in the 90s? how reliable and fast is it? 

BTW, thank you to EVERYONE here that has tried to help!!! I've always loved the Avsim community here, been using avsim for over 15 years, you guys are an awesome wealth of knowledge!!! Sincerely, Thank you guys!!

I get very few cut outs, maybe during very heavy rain/thunderstorm.  However, having a fast internet outweighs the occasional cut out - 99% of the time very reliable and consistent speeds.  My son also has Starlink for his caravan, so in the middle of nowhere he has fast internet.

Speed wise it varies up to 350Mb for me.  I've had the service for two years now and am very happy with its performance.

There's no other other option I know of other than having to change the profile through MSFS. Let me know if you find out what's causing your FSUIPC issues.

What a strange thing to say.  The point is that Starlink will give a good internet connection where other connections maybe poor.

Fancy using the internet when on holiday or a long weekend. 🤔

Agreed, and I think that’s the route we’re going to go! I was just worried it would be like the old satellite TV where you’d loose signal on a cloudy day. I need reliable internet for sure! 
 

is there a minimum speed MSFS needs for the photogrammetry etc? I used to have 25mbs and it was smooth.
