Good Morning;

I'm having an odd issue. Here is my setup:

* MSFS 2020
* Spad.NEXT (alpha)
* FSUIPC 7 (Full Version)
* Mobiflight

Devices:
* StreamDeck XL
* Honeycomb Alpha
* Logitech Throttle Quad
* Logitech Rudder
* Arduino Mega (for autopilot knobs)

This works perfectly. Spad.NEXT manages what it needs to, Mobiflight manages the Arduino. Everyone is happy.

To add functionality, I wanted to try adding a vJoystick, so I installed vJoy.

As soon as I do, Mobiflight starts throwing an error that it 'has lost FSUIPC'. Reinstalling FSUIPC doesn't help, and other apps are still able to talk to it.

To fix this, I have to uninstall vJoy.

Then things work fine again.

I've tried this a half-dozen times. Every time vJoy is installed, it breaks the connection between Mobiflight and FSUIPC.

Has anyone else experienced this with vJoy? Any ideas about what might be going on and where I can start looking?

Thanks!

Hi

We official have a PlugIn for Vjoy since some years.... And there was no issue reports till now. Your the first.

Whatever i would say the number of VJoy Users is verry small .... Mostly in Sims that not support FSUIPC ( So small unknown stuff).

Pretty sure with FS2020 nobody try out to use Vjoy.... Simply cause Inputs direct via MF or via FSUIPC are more comfortable.
I NOT own FS2020..... So i can not test it for you.

Idea: Run Vjoy and FSUIPC/Sim and Mobiflight for testing with Admin Rights..... Often this solve problems.

****************
@ ALL
If there is a user here, who use VJOY currently..... Specialy in a FSUIPC Based System.... Best way with FS2020 and FSUIPC7 ..... Please report experience.
We just need to confirm if it work for other people.... Then we know if this is a bug or a problem located on your system !
Good Luck !
