FSUIPC.ini not updated

Featured Replies

Hello,

I am setting my controllers with FSUIPC6 and data are not saved: When I shut down and reload the sim (P3Dv5), all settings are absents and the file FSUIPC.ini date is unchanged.
I was wondering if another .ini file was created but none is found.

Can you help?

Regards

Bruno

Have / are you using "Profiles" for discrete/different settings etc. for the aircraft ..... or perhaps not nominated said aircraft for "Profiles" use.

for now, cheers

Hi. No for the time being, I am just proceeding to general setup disregarding profiles. I used to do that and any binding would stay.

My major issue is : why the FSUIPC.ini file is not updated ! Despite my yesterday's changes the date is still 21/03/2022

At which stage is the file updated? After any change or when the simulator is closing?

Is it possible that another INI file is created somewhere else? Currently I could find only that one:
C:\Users\pc\Documents\Prepar3D v5 Add-ons\FSUIPC6\FSUIPC6.ini

@braudoux, the ini file is updated as you create bindings. You can check by monitoring the Date Last Updated.

I installed FSUIPC to C:\FSUIPC. The ini is located in that folder. Search your C drive for fsuipc6.ini.

I suspect the user account running P3D cannot write to that directory. Make sure you take ownership of the folder and the INI file will be updated.

My installation .... I believe the default one ..... is for C:\FSUIPC6\FSUIPC6.ini.

What does your file InstallFSUIPC6.log in that same folder or elsewhere tell you.

for now, cheers

Thanks all for your support. I will uninstall FSUIPC6 and reinstall under c:\. Will follow up.
