Cleaning up my bookmarks folders and found this thread I'm posting in the event someone else has the same misfortune as me. I got this resolved in the end, took the mobo back to the shop and they replaced it as the on-board sound card wasn't working - rebuilt the machine, and still had the same problem. After lots of late nights I took the box to a local PC shop who's owner is also into Flight Sim, and on his recommendation got rid of the two 8GB Corsair RAM sticks and installed four 4GB Kingston HyperX sticks. Problem solved. Thanks for your help on this Pete and very sorry to have wasted your time. When I started the thread, at the time I was convinced it was something to do with FSUIPC. I believe in hindsight FSUIPC was only causing FSX to access a particular section of the RAM which was testing okay but was flaky.

Hi Pete As requested 1st load of FSX okay, 2nd CTD halting at FS path = "F:\Flight Simulator X\" according to the log, 3rd load okay, 4th CTD halting at the same path, 5th Okay, 6th CTD, 7th Okay, 8th CTD, 9th OK, 10 - 13th CTD halting at the same place each time. ********* FSUIPC4, Version 4.827 by Pete Dowson ********* User Name="" User Addr="" FSUIPC4 not user registered WIDEFS7 not user registered, or expired Running inside FSX on Windows 7 Module base=61000000 967 System time = 30/06/2012 15:45:07 967 FLT path = "C:\Users\Caveman\Documents\Flight Simulator X Files\" 998 Trying to connect to SimConnect Acc/SP2 Oct07 ... 1014 FS path = "F:\Flight Simulator X\" Good advice - already tried test with Memtest 86 for a 18 hour pd, plus I've removed my RAM tried a few sticks out of my parnters machine with the same result. Thanks loaded it last week but done it again, that’s audio and a power point about DirectX 11 Technologies.Thanks for the ideas though. Installed and did a reboot to be safe. 1st load okay then realised when I looked at the log FSUIPC was not registered. Changed the key file and CTD halting at the same place.

I only posted yesterday to give an update if anyone else has this problem for pointers, and didn’t expect any help. I’m picking with a new mobo, I’ll have to do another reinstall again of O/S and FSX. I’ll update if anything changes, but at least the problem would be masked as I could use a 3.5mm headset.

I've done that a number of times including trying deafult drivers, legacy drivers all with the same result. Cheers Paul

Just to update on this issue, I've proved I only get the CTD with a Logitech G-35 USB headset plugged in & FSUIPC enabled. Each in isolation works fine with FSX. I tried all your sugestions Pete and still had the CTDs I haven't found a solution as yet, but during testing I've found my Mobo is faulty also as the onboard sound card is faulty which may or may not have contributed to the CTDs. If I find anything further helpful I'll post.

Hi Pete, Thanks for the reply. My initial post was made at 1am so was a bit tired and pasted the wrong log sorry. You’ve put me on the right path by the looks using the Windows error log. This morning I've had a look at the event viewer and it looks like the error is caused by dinput.DLL, which is part of DirectX that controllers use apparently. I've updated DirectX again (updated yesterday when I installed ROF) and run the installers for my yokes, joysticks, and panels which I had not done before perhaps this is significant? I've done 8 consecutive clean boots of FSX with no CTD with FSUIPC enabled -the 9th did crash again with the same faulting .DLL. Event Name: APPCRASH Response: Not available Cab Id: 0 Problem signature: P1: fsx.exe P2: 10.0.61637.0 P3: 46fadb14 P4: dinput.DLL P5: 6.1.7600.16385 P6: 4a5bd9c0 P7: c0000005 P8: 00013f1d Rebooted PC and have loaded FSX 4 clean loads - 5th CTD. I guess FSUIPC must request from Win what controllers are installed to load them into the ini file and when Win pulled up the win DLL it caused the AppCrash, perhaps that is why it only occurred when FSUIP was running. Thanks for your ideas and also thanks for what I consider the most useful application for FS ever devolved. Hence it's the first to be installed on a reinstall :razz: If I manage to get anything further after trolling the MS Tech nets I’ll post for future reference if anyone gets this error in the future. In the mean time I can live with the odd CTD. Regards Paul

Hi Pete, I've built a new PC and installing FSX onto it from backed up files and have run into issues that apear to be caused by FSUIPC. The first install went bady wrong with lots of CTD so have started again from scratch to sort out the CTD issue. FSX crashes to desktop when loading before it gets to the welcome home page I get the "FSX has encountered an error and needs to close" I've been working on it for the last 2 nights so I hope you can help me get it resolved. Here is a copy of the log I've kept. Machine Win7 Home Premium SP1 64 Bit I7 – 2700K CPU @ 3.50GHz (Factory Clocking) 16 GB DDR3 1333 RAM 2xGTX580 GPU (Factory Clocking) Registry cleaned, Formatted drive, Install FSX from DVD, Run Default Flight.

Solved - thank you :)

As I said in my pervoius post - I have the latest version - 4.30, Just had a look at the install file and saw this: Now installing additional files into the Modules folder: Installed "FSUIPC4 User Guide.pdf" okay Failed to install "FSUIPC4 for Advanced Users.pdf" Error 32 reported ("The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. ") Installed "FSUIPC4 History.pdf" okay Installed "List of FSX controls.pdf" okay Installed "GlobalSign Root.exe" okay FSUIPC4.DLL installed and signature checked out okay! Deleted GlobalSign Root fix programno longer relevant All installer tasks completed okay! Registration for FSUIPC4 was successful! (result code 00) I'm guessing I had the file open when I did the install. Can I downlown load it from a link or do I need to do a reinstall to get the user guide? Thanks.

Hi Pete, I was looking for the answer also and there is no mention in the Appendix of the FSUIPC Advanced user's Guide Published, 28th April 2008. Can please post a link to it as I've installed your upadated version and the new Guide wasn't contained in the download. Thanks.

Just to add my bit I'm having the same problem, of "Flight Simulator has experienced a problem and is closing" to desktop, so been following this thread with interest. I haven't isolated the cause yet, but I'm getting an APPCRASH up to 4 -6 times an hour, caused mainly by API.DLL

Hi Pete Problem solved - thanks very much. Changed the value highlighted in the .ini file to 256 and changed ShortAircraftNameOk=No to Yes end result is everything now works fine (only tested in the Barron so far). The file was a bit odd due to the testing I've been doing I guess. Thanks again - another satisfied customer. Kind Regards Paul

Hi Pete Thanks for the reply. Correct Again Correct - I've tried each of the levers/axis on the TQ to each of the functions and so far the only issue is mixture1 regardless of which axis is assigned. Never had that problem before so here is the ##.ini file in which I note mixture1 one does not appear. which for some reason I can't attach so have to put it here sorry.

Hi Peter Wondering if you can help me please. I downloaded, installed and registered FSUIPC4.2 yesterday and have found an issue with it. So found 4208 and installed that too but made no change to my problem. Have searched and haven't found anything similar after on this BBS and have I have RTFM. I can calibrate all but 1 of the axis on my CH Throttle Quadrant. I'm running FSX SP2 (Acceleration) under Vista 32 bit OS. What happens with the axis action and set to direct for "mixture 1" and see movement on the axis under axis assignment tab so it can be assigned from the drop down munu, but when I go to the next tab to calibrate it no movement is detected hence I can't calibrate it. I've assigned another lever to this action and the same thing happens hence I believe the issue is with the assignment from the drop down menu to select axis for mixture 1. Any ideas please? Thanks Paul
