  7. FSUIPC troubles in FSX

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    Sorry, I don't know. Your best bet is the PMDG forum. Maybe the PMDG aircraft needs a version of SimConnect which is faulty in your FSX installation. You might need to obtain a SimConnect log and check it -- instructions for getting logs are provided in the FAQ subforum here. But please don't ask me to check PMDG access to SimConnect, I wouldn't know how to do that.

    Regards

    Pete

    Thanks, I'll look for it on the PMDG forum, should have done that instead of posting here...silly me.

    What is the version number of this "latest" version of FSUIPC, please? It is no use simply saying "latest" -- folks have said that and been using a very old one. By "latest" they meant the last one they'd bothered to go find or seen on some website somewhere. I need always to know version numbers. They are no so hard to find. On screen in the options, in the Log, in the properties of the DLL.

    Something is clobbering your SimConnect responses. What about internal SimConnect users, like FSUIPC? PMDG aircraft, for example, and lots of others. You will need to carry out a process of elimination, stopping one at a time.

    Did you try making the time longer like I suggested? What were the results?

    I'm afraid I am away from tomorrow until March 14th. A little holiday. Apologies therefore for any delays in further responses.

    regards

    Pete

    Sorry, I have 4.60a for FSUIPC. I did not change the time on the the report. I have been flying only PMDG aircraft, latest is the MD11. But this started happening about a month ago and I just attributed it to the version of Flightsim Commander and that I had not updated that for a long time. Lately, I have been trying something different. I was watching web videos while I was flying, but have stopped doing that. It seems to me that if I only run FS Flight Tracker, FSC, Outlook and firefox (no farmville or any other game that requires lots of pc time...lol) I have not encountered the delays 'as much'...since changing that behavior, I have had only one instance of pausing and one hard crash of the FS. Before this, I usually would expect at the very least a hard crash of FS or the pausing of my flight in FSC...or both.

    It would help if you stated the version number of FSUIPC, so I could determine whether the options you can try are included. I think you should first update to the very latest, just in case (4.664 is in the Download Links subforum).

    Anyway, what is happening is that SimConnect has stopped responding. Something is killing it. Possibly something earlier in the FSUIPC log might show more about what it might be, but otherwise it might need a SimConnect log instead.

    What seems likely is that you have other programs or add-ons using Simconnect and one of those is clobbering it. Perhaps you can list all of the SimConnect-using add-ons you are running so we can proceed with an elimination.

    The only thing you can really do in FSUIPC is change the timeout FSUIPC imposes on the time it will allow between getting data from SimConnect. However, although it might be worth trying it just to see, the extended time would mean a poorer service FSUIPC is able to offer to its client programs (i.e. out of data data, or good data less often). But I suspect it won't help in any case because the log shows that the connection won't even re-make -- SimConnect is not even responding to the reconnection attempts.

    Anyway, the parameter is

    SimConnectStallTime=1

    That '1' is 1 second. You can make FSUIPC more lenient to SimConnect performance by increasing it. Try 2, 5, 10. I'm not saying these will fix things, but if they change the results it tells us something about what is going on.

    Oh, if you are NOT using FSX with SP2 or Acceleration, then you need to update. The older versions of Simconnect were much more prone to this sort of thing.

    Regards

    Pete

    I have the latest version of FSUIPC, and SP2 for FSX. I use only two programs externally that use the simconnect. FS Flight tracker and FS Commander. FS flight tracker is 9.5.1 and FS commander is version 9. I am using windows XP on a core 2 duo processor with 3GB of RAM. If you need more than that, let me know.

    I have been having some difficulties, thinking they were with FS Commander. The online portion where you track your flight with the FSC window, freezes somewhere into the flight. I have discovered that the FSUIPC menu disappears at that time as well. I opened the FSUIPC4 log and discovered that the communication with my FSX is failing.

    Hi,

    I have received your e-mail and the support data.

    Your FSUIPC is approx more than 1000 years old and I can only recommend you to upgrade the FSUIPC.

    Regards,

    Volker

    Ok, I'm up to date on FSUIPC and WIDEFS. However, this did not correct the lack of any text on the data buttons on the left side of the screen, the buttons on the FSC or the fact that I cannot enter waypoints and have them show up in the waypoint editor.

    Ok, did what you said...now I have a whole new set of problems. None of the buttons on the side vertical menu have any text in them..only a '-' mark. The buttons on the right of the FSC (GPS) menu are all blank..as a mater of fact, all the buttons but the direction buttons are blank. When I try to enter waypoints in my flight plan, other than in the main box at the top, they do not show up. When I press enter, I get blanks. The waypoints I try to enter show on the screen on the airways, but they will not enter into the plan using the waypoint enter menu. I have uninstalled FSC, reinstalled, redone the FSX coordination and run the AIRNAV files to no avail.

    Todd

    and again it freezes, three hours in to a 5.5 hour flight.

    Hi,

    I received no e-mail

    This message indicates that an error occurred during installation and is missing important files.

    Uninstall the program and install it again.

    Hi,

    No, I do not received your e-mail. Send your e-mail again.

    Volker

    I have sent it twice now...and they do not bounce back to me. I did read the text in the files you asked me to send you, and the only thing it says is:

    I had this problem in version 8 and was hoping I would no longer encounter it with version 9. What happens is the GPS connection to FSX freezes and the aircraft no longer advances. The IVAO connection updates just fine, but I am no longer connected to the simulator with the status updates when I want them. What could cause this? I shut down FSC and open it back up, but the aircraft position is the same as when I closed the program and I do not get live position updates. I am using FSX on a pentium core duo processor at 1.80 GHz and 8 meg of RAM. I am using windows XP and the FS has service pack 2 installed, XP has service pack 3.
