[AutoSave - one second stutters with P3D v5.2 and FSUIPC 6.1.2]

I replied to this where you posted on AVSIM, but I'll repeat it here for completeness.

This is a well known result of the saving of the files for the flight. FSUIPC does nothing except send the save request to P3D and delete the oldest in the cycle.

The same would occur if you did it manually (plus the time to enter the menus etc) -- the extra in FSUIPC is just the deletion of the oldest save in the cycle. It has always been the case and the code in FSUIPC can't be any more efficient as it is so simple. You could stop the deletion of the oldest in cycle if you want -- just use the "also save" option instead of the regular cycle of a selected number.

If you've never noticed before then it must have been because of more efficient disk organisation (eg less full) or something else related to the file operations. FSUIPC cannot influence how and what P3D saves in the flights and associated files.

Hi Pete,

Thanks for this explanation.  I do some really 'dumb' things occasionally 🙂 and I had turned on 'auto-save' thinking that any changes I made within FSUIPC would update immediately, not knowing that this caused P3D to save files.  Well, long story short, when I turned off this setting the stutters I was experiencing in v. 4.5 stopped.  That's what I get for not carefully paying attention to setting changes!

The GFDev64.dllv should be placed in your FSUIPC6 installation folder, wherever that is. If you don't Know, you can open that folder using the Open Folder button in the logging tab.

Check (or post) your FSUIPC6.log file - there will be a message in that file if the GF dll is found and loaded, and show the devices detected, e.g here's mine:

 

John Dowson, Thank you so much for this.  Your FSUIPC software is invaluable.
