Yeah, really the biggest use is communication with external tools.
When I say happened it the past, I mean it extremely sporadically since the launch of MSFS so over a few years. Not really reportable now. It was more to point to the fact that when this particular thing started at last simupdate, the restart (of fsuipc) does not work anymore (for me). Like the sim is still running but feels like it's not sending to FSUIPC...
All EV has are hangs, no Red Error crashes. And weirdly, only one so not sure if this is the original hang or my restarted hang...

I will post the logs if this happens again. But I think this is the file from my restart attempt judging by the time of the file.
