FSUIPC4 not launching from the Add On menu in FSX

[l_jayma]

Peter,

 

I am experiencing the same issue just like the below forum topic. I added Debug=Please
LogExtras=x4001 to my ini file.

http://forum.simflight.com/topic/75856-fsuipc-menu-button-doesnt-open-fsuipc/

When I open a jet profiled aircraft, I cannot open FSUIPC from the Add On drop down.

 

I did change UseProfiles from No to Yes thinking that was the case but I changed it back to No.

 

I have had no issues for almost a year til now, and Im not sure what caused this to occur.

 

The log file with the debug data is too big and I cant seem to get through saving the post with it.

[Pete Dowson]

I need you to follow the same diagnostic steps shown in the thread to which you referred. I also need a complete list of addons. If the files are big, ZIP them (they will Zip up really small as they are only text) and send them as attachments to my email, which you know already. I cannot do anything with the information you posted above.

 

I will reply here, not by email.

 

The production of the FSUIPC options dialogue is totally dependent on SimConnect prompts from the menu bar, so I'm thinking another add-on has interfered with or messed this mechanism up.

 

BTW, "UseProfiles" defaults to Yes, and your INI file shows Profiles were in use. By changing it to "No" you've now got sets of assignments and calibrations which are not being used -- yu really now need to start again, deleting your FSUIPC4.INI file so a new one is created.

 

Profile use or not has nothing whatsoever to do with the menu mechanisms. In fact nothing has, only the signal from SimConnect saying the FSUIPC options has been selected.

 

Pete

[Pete Dowson]

I received a log and INI file from you, but with many logging options enabled which are not needed, were not requested, and obscure what is going on. See:

 

LogWrites=Yes

LogReads=Yes

DebugLua=Yes

LogExtras=Yes

 

Only these lines are correct from the original thread:

 

Debug=Please

LogExtras=x4001

 

However, those lines were either not there when the session of FSX was started, or were not effective because of the other, unwanted, options. The log line:

 

      188 LogOptions=00000000 0000001D

 

shows only the unwanted options set.

 

Therefore I'm afraid there is no useful information in the Log whatsoever.

 

Regards

Pete

[l_jayma]

Peter,

 

I forgot I had those log setting on..my apologies.

 

I do have good news..after deleting the INI file and applying the settings back for my profiles..I am back in business. I did a through test and I am pleased.

 

If there is anyhting below that you notice that might be an issue.let me know.

 

Below is the log file that you were expecting with the only two settings.

Ok..I spoke too soon.

 

I tried just now and the problem is persisting. I click FSUIPC from the drop down and nothing happens.

I tried just now and the problem is persisting. I click FSUIPC from the drop down and nothing happens.

 

You need to add those two lines to the INI file before starting FSX. The log you supplied shows nothing wrong at all. There's no useful information.

 

I'm sure you must have some application which is interfering with Simconnect's ability to respond correctly to menu requests. Once FSUIPC see's such a request the rest is all standard Windows stuff, completely out of FSX or other Apps ability to interfere.

[Pete Dowson]

I received another log from you by email, but I'm not sure what I'm looking at. It doesn't close -- why not? Please ALWAYS close FS before getting the Log.

 

What actions did you take up until the point you decided to get the Log whilst FS was still running? What exactly did you do, step-by-step, and what did you see?

 

I think we now need to go to the next stage (exactly as in the thread you referenced). i.e.

 

Edit the FSUIPC4.INI file and set

 

Debug=Please  (if you don't already have that there)

LogExtras=x8001

 

You can delete the TestOptions line if that's still there.

 

Run FSX and try the FSUIPC menu, how ever many times. If or when it doesn't work, say, twice, show me the Log file. no need to ZIP and email it, it won't be too long. Paste it here.

 

These are the log lines you should get for every entry into the Menu and out again:

 

   231396 ### MENU: EV_MENU [15] received: dwMenuEvent=0, fInScanJoy=0, fInOptions=0
   231412 Ready Flags: Ready-To-Fly=Y, In Menu=Y, In Dlg=Y
   231412 ### MENU: ST_DLGMODE received, stt->dwInteger=1, dwMenuEvent=15
   231412 ### MENU: ST_DLGMODE: fInScanJoy=0, fInOptions=0

<< the menu is open here (not a log line!) >>
   233642 ### MENU: PropertySheet call returned 1
   233689 ### MENU: ST_DLGMODE: ending dialog mode
   234048 Ready Flags: Ready-To-Fly=Y, In Menu=N, In Dlg=N
 

In the log you sent me you did get this line:

 

310707 Ready Flags: Ready-To-Fly=Y, In Menu=Y, In Dlg=Y

 

which means FSUIPC thought it was actually in the dialogue -- but there was no line showing it ever exited, as there surely must have been if you were able to close FSX!

 

Incidentally, if you read right though the original thread you will see that the problem turned out to be a corrupt FLT or WX file, or maybe the wxstationlist.bin. Here is the last useful report in that thread:

But after all that I think I may have found the problem.  I remember years back FSX jetways would not operate due to the DEFAULT flight being corrupt.  So I have been using my default flight to check FSUIPC and the various drop down items.   I suspected this could be an issue, so I deleted my default flight, and restarted FSX, and walla no more problem.  I have been testing it for over 2 hours now and all seems to be 100%.

 

 

 

Have you tried this yet?

 

Regards

Pete

[l_jayma]

Peter,

 

I deleted all the .WX and .FLT files and deleted the WXSTATIONLIST.BIN. I dont have a "default flight" so I deleted my previous flight info.

 

I logged into FSX opened an airplane, opened Active Sky then I clicked the FSUIPC from addon menu a few times as well as the other items inthe drop down Courtual/PMDG/AddOn Manager to see if they would launch. Nothing with opening up. The only control that didnt work was my throttle for the saitek but the flaps/speed brakes did work.

 

Openend another plane tried the controls..all controls worked. No response from any of the Addon Menu items.

 

Here is the updated log file

I deleted all the .WX and .FLT files and deleted the WXSTATIONLIST.BIN. I dont have a "default flight" so I deleted my previous flight info.

 

The default flight is whichever flight is loaded initially, it isn't necessarily named "default".  In your case it looks to still be the initially installed default flight, i.e. 

D:\FlightSim\FLIGHTS\OTHER\FLTSIM.FLT

 

I logged into FSX opened an airplane, opened Active Sky then I clicked the FSUIPC from addon menu a few times as well as the other items inthe drop down Courtual/PMDG/AddOn Manager to see if they would launch. Nothing with opening up. The only control that didnt work was my throttle for the saitek but the flaps/speed brakes did work.

Openend another plane tried the controls..all controls worked. No response from any of the Addon Menu items.

 

Ah, so it isn't just FSUIPC which is being clobbered! Seems either your FSX instalation is corrupted, or one or other of your add-ons is somehow managing to get SimConnect screwed up. All this:

 

   133771 ### MENU: EV_MENU [15] received: dwMenuEvent=0, fInScanJoy=0, fInOptions=0

   135659 ### MENU: EV_MENU [15] received: dwMenuEvent=15, fInScanJoy=0, fInOptions=0

   143412 ### MENU: EV_MENU [15] received: dwMenuEvent=15, fInScanJoy=0, fInOptions=0

etc

 

indicates that the menu entry is seen, but when SimConnect is requested to go into dialog mode, so that the dialogue can be displayed, it isn't responding at all.

 

It may require a complete re-install of FSX, but first, in case it is one of the add-ons, I would suggest stopping them all running except FSUIPC, and see if that then works. Then add them back, one at a time. To do this you'll need to edit the DLL.XML and EXE.XML files, in the same folder as your FSX.CFG file.

Peter -- I had to do a full reinstall..something corrupted FSX..so the best thing was to re-install.

 

thank you very much for your help.
