This are the (new) Support Forums for FSUIPC and related products.
These forums replace the old support forums which have been running for 20+ years. The old forums contain a wealth of information on all FSUIPC products, and are still available (until the end of the year) for read-only here.
At the moment these new forums are quite empty – I will be updating the FAQ section and copying across the User Contributions from the old forums in the next few months.
Please note that you will need to Register and Login to post for support, and also to download attachments. You can view these forums without registering.
Support is also available via Discord. Please use the following invite link to join the FSUIPC Discord server:

HUDparameters.lua is a Lua script that displays flight parameters in a small text window that pops up when the script is selected by an assigned key or button if the aircraft is in the air. Parameters displayed are:
· Indicated Airspeed (IAS. Kts)
· True Airspeed (TAS, Kts)
· Ground Speed (GS, Kts)
· Mach# (when above a user settable altitude, currently 25000ft)
· Altitude (ALT, ft)
· Radio Altitude (RA, ft)
· Vertical Speed (VS, ft/min)
· Vertical Speed per Nautical Mile (VS/NM, ft/NM)
· Attitude Indicator pitch (AI, degrees)
· Flight Path Angle (FPA, degrees)
The top of the script contains user settable values for the size and location of the display, the altitude above which the a/c Mach# will be displayed (default is 25000ft), the data update interval in milliseconds (default is 2000), and whether or not data is to be logged in HUDparameters.log (default is 0, off). These values can be set using a text editor like NotePad++. A registered copy of FSUIPC is required to execute the Lua script. Simply copy the script to the FSUIPC installation folder (Modules folder for FSX) and use FSUIPC to assign a key, button or switch to toggle the script on and off. The script turns off if the aircraft is on the ground.

N.B. This script will not work as=is with FSUIPC7 / MSFS as it uses the SimConnect_Text facilities to display the window which are not available in this version.
