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:

New window capture feature from FSUIPC

Hello,

A new Passerelle version is coming with a window capture feature. Passerelle is a module to control Saitek devices that can be used with the FSUIPC Lua engine. You can now stream an instrument window to your Saitek Flight Panel Instrument with a very simple script:

require "passerelle"
 
passerelle.addPage("SFIP", 1, 1, true);
 
function capture()
    local bitmap = passerelle.captureWindow("FS98FLOAT", "PFD", 0, 0, 100, 100);
    passerelle.setImage('SFIP', 1, 1, 0, bitmap);
    collectgarbage();
end
 
while true do
    capture();
    ipc.sleep(50);
end

To test this script in FSUIPC:

- Select a Cessna with a G1000 GPS

- Start the flight

- Open the PFD window

- Undock it (window must be in non-minimized state)

- Run the script

And voilà! Your are streaming your PFD to your FIP!

Check the installation procedure here:
