Yes. Most of the work is done. Just need to give it the once over and release it, probably in a few days.

FS Force 2.15 is now available, with support for P3D v5. Please let me know if you find any problems.

Which aircraft were you having problems with? What about other aircraft? Does the problem manifest for all aircraft?

Still have problem.
I try to reinstall (I clean the registry ! ) but I have always a runtime error when installing .( Runtime Error, variant is null, cannot invoke) before the end of installing, I suppose the installation is not good.
In the sim the fsforce trim system is not selectable only fsx.
To resume: I have a lot orf problem with this.
What is a clean way of removing it ?

I just ran a test this morning with P3D v5, and there does appear to be some issues. Will investigate more this afternoon and get back to you.

> Me: I just ran a test this morning with P3D v5, and there does appear to be some issues.

False alarm. The "issue" was just a messed up setting from an old .cfg file that I was mistakenly using. Everything is working fine on my system. The pop-up trim gauge works on the F-22 and several other aircraft I tested.

> guit32: fsforce seems to work with joystick disabled in p3d (I use fsuicp).

That might be part of your problem. First, the joystick needs to be enabled in P3D. Second, don't use FSUIPC to map trim commands. FS Force will not work properly. This is all explained in the Getting Started page. (http://www.fs-force.com/help2/getting_started.htm). In general I don't recommend to use FSUIPC.

> guit32: I try to reinstall but I have always a runtime error when installing .( Runtime Error, variant is null, cannot invoke) before the end of installing, I suppose the installation is not good.

This was an issue with an earlier version of FS Force that I just released a few weeks ago (v2.15.0.001), but someone else reported the same error, and I made a slight change to fix it. Version 2.15.0.003 is now the most recent. Are you sure you are using the latest version?

In any case, it is safe to ignore this error message.
