I had a Windows11 crash and had to all my software again. Now I have 3 Problems:

1) FSUIPC7 does not connect automatically 

2) Looking for "ModeC" Switch (formerly I had it on the TCA Q-ENG RUD TRIM installed and OK)

3) Looking for "TILLER" Switch (formerly on the round knob besides the RUD TRIM

 

If somebody can help me to find these settings again I would be very happy. I cant find them in the FSUIPC7. Thankyou very much for any help in advance. Best regards Jörg Trefzer, Basel, Switzerland

1) FSUIPC7 does not connect automatically 

For connection issues, first please see the following FAQ entry:

https://fsuipc.com/community/fsuipc-faq-issues/fsuipc7-configuring-connection-parameters-for-optimal-use-and-to-prevent-simconnect-issues/#post-5

You should also read the section 'Auto-tuning of initial start-up parameters' in the Advanced User manual.

If your issue persists after configuring your connection parameters, please show me / attach your FSUIPC7.log file showing the issue.

Did you check for (HubHop) presets?

For the tiller (Captain side), try the preset FNX320 Misc Tiller Pedal Disconnect Captain Press (to toggle) - see https://hubhop.mobiflight.com/presets/?vendor=FenixSim&aircraft=A320&search=tiller
I'm not sure about the ModeC switch, but I think Mode C is triggered from the Alt Reporting switch, so you can try the preset FNX320 Transponder Alt Reporting Toggle (or the individual FNX320 Transponder Alt Reporting On / Off presets if you have a switch or sticky button)
All Mobiflight (Hub Hop) presets are available in FSUIPC for assignment. Check the 'Select for Preset' checkbox, then click the 'Find Preset...' button and then navigate to the provider/aircraft/subsystem to find the preset.

Your log shows that FSUIPC7 was manually started, and it detected MSFS was running and connected around 5 seconds after it was started:

969 Manually started with DetectToConnectDelay=1, InitialStallTime=20
3828 Simulator detected
4828 Trying to connect...
4844 SimConnect_Open succeeded
4859 Running in "KittyHawk", Version: 11.0.282174.999 (SimConnect: 11.0.62651.3)

If you have connection issues when auto-started, I need to see the log file from this, i.e. exit FSUIPC7 when you experience the issue, and attach the FSUPC7.log file before you manually re-start FSUIPC7.

If FSUIPC7 is not auto-starting, please see the FAQ entry on this issue. You can also attach your InstallFSUIPC7.log file here and I can check that the auto-start component was installed correctly.

Your ini looks fine. One thing I would recommend is to use substrings for your progile aircraft names, i.e. change

[Profile.Fenix A320-321]
1=Fenix A320 - Edelweiss 'Modern' HB-JLQ (2025)
2=Fenix A320 - easyJet Europe 'Standard' OE-ICN (2022)
3=Fenix A320 - SWISS 'Standard' HB-JLT (2022)

to

[Profile.Fenix A320-321]
1=Fenix A320

When you add an aircraft name to a profile, it will add the full aircraft name. It is always a good idea to edit this name, once added, to use a substring that removes the livery/tail number info. The name will then match all/most variants, so you do not need to add the aircraft to the profile again if you choose to use a different livery/variant.

Good morning John. I deinstalled the latest Windows Update and started MSFS2020 without any problems. The fsuipc7.ini file I changed according your recommendation. Please have a look again at my attached files and let me know if all looks good. Thankyou very much for your help and have a nice weekend. Best regards Jörg

PS. Thats what I call a perfect and fast support. Thanks

Your log shows a few re-connection attempts. Change the value of the DetectToConnectDelayAuto ini parameter in your FSUIPC7.ini file (in the [General] section) from 60 to 120.

@fsuipc-support John, This Setting was not present in the General Section, so I amended it as follow: 

[General]

DetectToConnectDelayAuto=120

I hope this is correct

Yes - if an ini parameter is not currently listed in a a section, you can add it to the existing section - just don't create a new section!
