The usefulness of using FSUIPC

I would like to know the opinion of members of the forum on the usefulness of using FSUIPC7 with MSFS 2020? Thank you.

I use it most of the time. It isn’t a resource hog, and with the landing-rate monitor it really helps perfect your landing skills.

Thank you for this information.

I have all my controls mapped in FSUIPC. I don’t know how things are now, but the axis mapping in MSFS left some room for improvements to say the least and in FSUIPC you have complete control. And you get the possibility to map things you simply can’t find in MSFS, things that are exposed through LVARS etc.

I use it with my Alpha and Bravo. Basically instead of having to complain about buttons and things not working, I just map them done, and go flying. Quite easy.

Where is the landing rate monitor?

LRM - A landing rate monitor tool for MSFS2020, FS2004, FSX, FSX-SE, Prepar3d (P3D) and X-Plane (lrmclient.org)

I connect my Arduinos to Lua scripts in FSUIPC.

People still using FS Commander can view online traffic on VATSIM or IVAO.

I noticed that FSUIPC really slows down the loading of the sim, from about four min to seven min, it doesn’t happen if I don’t have it installed.

11

I don’t see your experience with load time on my end. Are you sure it’s FSUIPC that is causing the excessive longer load time?

And to reply to the thread: I love FSUIPC, gives so much more control over key bindings and a more refined way of “fine-tuning” axis.

And as mentioned above, yo uget access to binding not available in FS2020 control settings.

12

That’s not been my experience. But then I usually start FSUIPC after starting the sim.

13

I found a way to run it on demand. My sim loads much faster now. It might also have started to be an issue after SU 5, as the sim has become unrecognizable after the latest patch, the so-called optimization.

  1. I can have aircraft specific control assignments
  2. Customization with Lua scripts
  3. some addons need FSUIPC
15

I wonder if this might be the solution to the fact that SU5 borked the assignments on my mouse and joystick. I currently assign the x52 pro joystick through the Logitech Programme app but fsuipc might be a better way to go?

Hi all,

I used to use fsuipc on p3d as it gave a more direct connection to the control inputs instead of the woefull default sensitivity options. Is it the same with fsuipc in ms2020. Currently getting super frustrated with the control input delay and weird sensitivity of the default settings.

If you have hardware cockpit, it’s a must because you need to access offsets (internal variables)

I need it in order to have my two throttle control assigned differently to the throttles of the DC-6 and G-44.

G-44: left throttle axis controls engine1, right throttle axis controls engine2

DC-6: left throttle axis controls both left engines, right throttle axis controls right engines

I guess you can also do that with Spad.next and A&O?

19

I never understood the use and still don’t. Any great video guide to be convinced I should buy it ?

I googled the hell out of this and purchased it upon my searches, YouTube vids. made it even easier. I still like it and have only begun to explore what it can actually do.
