Hi Pete,
I'm new to P3D v4 and was wondering if you could help me.
I'm using the latest version of FSUIPC but it is causing a strange crash-to-desktop very soon after loading (I load the sim, it instantly freezes and a few seconds later exits). No error message is displayed. It happens with and without addon aircraft at any airport, and always straight after loading the scenario.
At first, I thought it was my FSXWX addon which uses FSUIPC and SimConnect. FSXWX generates an "unhandled exception" report after the crash. However, the above crash also happens without FSXWX running. The only way I've been able to solve it is by uninstalling FSUIPC.
Strangely, at first the sim worked fine as long as FSXWX generated the weather, and crashed if I did not load FSXWX first. However, now the sim crashes completely regardless of whether FSXWX is/was running. I've googled the error message it generates (hresult: 0xc000014b) but this seems to be fairly unspecific and represents a broken connection between that and P3D.
I didn't change anything or install anything new between the last time the sim worked and now - it has just stopped working on its own.
As I said, there is no error message created from the sim at all.
I can't see any relevant events in the Windows Event Viewer (forgive me if I'm missing something).
The FSUIPC log is as follows:

I previously googled the problem and saw a lot of similar issues but nothing that resolved my case. I've tried deleting wxstationlist.bin, Prepar3D_default.fxml, Prepar3d_Default.wx and all previous flight files under My Documents.
My FSUIPC isn't registered.
I hope I have provided useful information, please let me know if not.
Many thanks in advance for any help.
