Hello Pete Like i wrote in my first post, this is a little problem. Normally i make my flight, shutdown the computer and that´s it. I noticed this issue, while i´m testing some things, which have nothing to do with FSUIPC. So let us check off this issue. Maybe, when you here something in the future, you can report it here. Have a nice evening. See you soon. Andreas

Thank you Andreas

Hello Pete, I have little trouble with FSUIPC. I´m using P3D V3.1 with the newest FSUIPC version 4.949c. Really everytime, when i´m closing P3D it stops not completely. There remains the process prepar3d.exe in the Task Manager. When i´m restarting P3D (without reboot the computer or manually kill the process), P3D gives the information, that there is running a second FSUIPC Task. While my investigation i have found following: When WideFS is active, then i have this error. When i disable WideFS in the ini as example: WideFSenabled=No then P3D is closing as expacted. I have activated log file: (Following log is with activated WideFS) FSUIPC4 Key is provided WideFS7 Key is provided 203 System time = 16/01/2016 22:34:48 219 FLT UNC path = "\\GAME-FLUSI\AppData\Documents\Prepar3D v3 Files\" 219 ------ Module Version Check ------ 219 acontain.dll: 3.1.2.15831 219 api.dll: 3.1.2.15831 219 controls.dll: 3.1.2.15831 219 fs-traffic.dll: 3.1.2.15831 219 G3D.dll: 3.1.2.15831 219 language.dll: 3.1.2.15831 219 sim1.dll: 3.1.2.15831 219 visualfx.dll: 3.1.2.15831 219 weather.dll: 3.1.2.15831 219 window.dll: 3.1.2.15831 219 ---------------------------------- 219 Trying D:\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3\Modules\SimConnectP3D2.dll 219 Found it: trying to connect 219 FS UNC path = "\\GAME-FLUSI\D\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3\" 328 ---------------------- Joystick Device Scan ----------------------- 328 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 344 LogOptions=00000000 00000051 344 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 344 ------ Setting the hooks and direct calls into the simulator ------ 344 --- CONTROLS timer memory location obtained ok 344 --- SIM1 Frictions access gained 344 ###ASN: ASN module as_btstrp.dll not loaded (yet)! 344 --- FS Controls Table located ok 344 --- Installed Mouse Macro hooks ok. 344 --- Wind smoothing fix is installed 344 --- All links okay (except older global weather setting method) 344 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 344 SimConnect_Open succeeded: waiting to check version okay 344 Trying to use SimConnect Prepar3D 1234 Running in "Lockheed Martin® Prepar3D® v3", Version: 3.1.3.1 (SimConnect: 3.1.0.0) 1234 Initialising SimConnect data requests now 1234 FSUIPC Menu entry added 1250 Ready Flags: Ready-To-Fly=N, In Menu=Y, In Dlg=Y 1250 \\GAME-FLUSI\AppData\Documents\Prepar3D v3 Files\KLAS.fxml 1250 \\GAME-FLUSI\D\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3\SimObjects\Airplanes\IRIS Raptor Driver\Raptor.air 1891 Memory in use: 935Mb, Avail=3161Mb 19563 Ready Flags: Ready-To-Fly=N, In Menu=N, In Dlg=N 20313 System time = 16/01/2016 22:35:08, Simulator time = 13:00:50 (20:00Z) 20313 Aircraft="F-22 Raptor - 525th Fighter Squadron" 21313 Starting everything now ... 21313 Error 126 (Das angegebene Modul wurde nicht gefunden. ) "D:\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3\Modules\PFCFSX.DLL" 21313 Error 126 (Das angegebene Modul wurde nicht gefunden. ) "D:\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3\Modules\EPICINFO5.DLL" 21328 Ready Flags: Ready-To-Fly=Y, In Menu=N, In Dlg=N 22484 Advanced Weather Interface Enabled 25453 Ready Flags: Ready-To-Fly=Y, In Menu=Y, In Dlg=Y 30000 Deactivated: culprit unknown 30000 Lost focus to PID=2916, "explorer.exe" 30484 === DLLStop called ... 30484 === About to kill my timers ... 30688 === Restoring window procs ... 30703 === Unloading libraries ... 30703 === stopping other threads ... "Stopping other threads" is the last entry. I have waited 1-2 hours, but the task was still there. Because i wanted to find out, if any addon can cause this issue, i have setup up a fresh P3D install, without any addon except FSUIPC. Do we have any chance, to look (maybe via another log parameter) which task prevents FSUIPC from stopping? What is about the lines: 21313 Error 126 (Das angegebene Modul wurde nicht gefunden. ) "D:\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3\Modules\PFCFSX.DLL" 21313 Error 126 (Das angegebene Modul wurde nicht gefunden. ) "D:\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3\Modules\EPICINFO5.DLL" The error message is: The module was not found. I have no PFC hardware connected. I don´t know why FSUIPC is looking for the two dlls. Thanks in advance Andreas

Hello Pete, at first, sorry for the long delay. But i´m very busy in my job. I have tested your FSUIPC Beta. Thank you for that. But you are right, it doesn´t solve the problem. Meanwhile i have the professionell S-ATA Controller and new harddisks where i´m told from. But the issue is still there. It means it can´t be the harddisk or the controller. So, what is different to the thousand user´s in the world ? Yesterday i made a test. I used the FSX internal Frame Rate Counter. I´m used the Enhanced one, where you can see the min, average and max data. My FSX is limited at 30FPS, my projector is set to 30HZ. VSync is activated. Without FSUIPC installed, the average FPS is EVER 30FPS. Exactly 30FPS !!!!!! With FSUIPC installed, the average FPS is NEVER 30FPS. Really never. The FPS is max 29,8FPS. It jumps from approx. 29,7 to 29,8. In combination with the VSync and the 30HZ set on the beamer, i think here is the problem. What is FSUIPC doing ? Does FSUIPC affect VSync in any case ? When i lower all sliders in FSX to the minimum, it´s the same. So it can´t be a overload for the machine. I can´t fly without VSync, because then i have heavy tearing and i can´t differentiate if the stutters are there or not. Any idea ? Thank you Andreas

Peter Dowson wrote: The best I can do to help you nail it is to tell you how to change the weather intervals, or to stop them, and possibly to supply a version with an option to stop "nearest airport" requests. There's nothing else which is possibly going to make any different whatsoever, and I don't hold out much hope for those. Hi Pete, that sounds good. I only need FSUIPC and WideFS to use the Project Magenta MCP and Boeing Glass Cockpit. That´s all what i need. To be certain i configure nothing in FSUIPC, i´m using WideFS only. So when you tell me, what i must do to disable all this what i doesn´t need, it would be fantastic. Thank you Peter Hello PeterH, i checked out what you descripe, but the stutters are there again. Thank you Andreas

Hi Pete, here i´m again. :D Okay, i got a new computer. Now i have an I7-980X Extreme Processor overclocked to 4,13GHZ, a new board (so a new S-ATA Controller) and new RAM. Only my GTX285 and my two WD Raptor are the same. I told 3 weeks before, that i will become a new professional S-ATA controller but now i have a new computer. :D The controller will arive in 1-2 weeks. But the problem exist. :( Stuttering with FSUIPC installed. Move out the whole "Modules" folder > no stuttering. I have started a post in a german Flight Simulator Forum. 4 persons have excact the same problem. Before my post in this forum, nobody had the idea that FSUIPC make this stuttering. They moved out the Modules folder and the stuttering is gone. Pete, there must be a problem. I´m wondering that nobody else have the same problem in this forum here (Simflight not the German one). I posted in the German forum and 4 persons answered within a few hours. It´s clear. We all are using the German Flight Simulator X. I can´t imagine that there is any context. But now i think it is not my hardware. Do you have any idea ? Andreas

Hi Pete, thank you very much for your help. Yes, i´m think too, it´s a S-ATA Controller problem. In 1-2 weeks i will become a professional S-ATA Raid Controller for my system. I will report you if the problem exist. Thank your very very much. Andreas

Hi Pete, i sent the logs. Thank you Andreas

Hi Pete, here is the dll.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252" ?> - Launch dll.xml False False - Object Placement Tool True False ..\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Mission Creation Kit\object_placement.dll - Traffic Toolbox True False ..\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Environment Kit\Traffic Toolbox SDK\traffictoolbox.dll - Visual Effects Tool True False ..\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Environment Kit\Special Effects SDK\visualfxtool.dll - FSUIPC 4 False Modules\FSUIPC4.dll But there is no exe.xml. It should be in this folder, right ? > C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX Thanks Andreas

Hi Peter, for the investigating of the stutters, i installed a virgin Windows XP and a really virgin FSX. After this i installed the Acceleration Pack for getting the Service Pack 2. And then nothing really nothting. I made my first flight, all is smooth without stutters. Then i installed FSUIPC and i have the stutters. I have to make one test this evening. I´m flying with airliners only. And yes i´m using the default airliners only. But i haven´t tested what happens with the little plane which comes up when i start FSX. I don´t know the name. Trike ??? I didn´t using Project Magenta in the moment. So virgin FSX + ACC PACK + FSUIPC. That´s all. There is no Virus Scanner or Firewall on this machine. I will send you DLL.XML and EXE.XML late evening. Thank you Andreas

Hi Pete, when i install FSUIPC and WideFS without any registration, i have the stutters too. I tried with and without fixed IP Adress. Stutters. I disabled both network cards. Stutters. I disconnected my Microsoft Force Feedback 2 Joystick. Stutters. I deleted FSUIPC again. NO stutters. So it´s absolutly clear that FSUIPC make the stutters. But it´s absolutly clear too, that other users don´t have this stutters. But the question is, does FSUIPC communicate with a component which make the problems ? Something like sound card, joystick etc ? Pete it´s possible to send me an old FSUIPC version to andreas.schier@eurorscg.de ? Who knows, maybe it helps. I have no more idea what i can looking for to investigate this problem. FSUIPC is very important for me, because i´m using the fantastic Project Magenta Software. Andreas

Hello Pete, sorry, i made a little mistake. I have the same issue with the unregistered version. What do you mean with invalid registration ? Please take a look at your database. I have a legal license. Look for andreas.schier@eurorscg.de. That´s me. ;-) Yes i´m using the FSUIPC 4.60 version. And yes i think too, it´s something with SimConnect. But for your information. I made a fresh Windows XP installation, then FSX, after this the ACC Pack Install. That´s it. No more addons. Only FSUIPC and from this point i got the stutters. Only for testing. Is there a download source for a very old FSX FSUIPC version. Who knows, maybe it works. ;-) I will send you the log asap. Thank you in advance Andreas

Hello, I´m new at this forum. My name is Andreas Schier. I´m from Germany. Sorry for my bad english. :D I have a problem with FSUIPC. I´m using the registered version. I´m using FSX Acc (included SP2). And here is the problem. FSX interrupts every 5sec. for a split of a second. I have installed FSX again and again. After a fresh install, without any addons and without FSUIPC, FSX is smooth without any problems. But after installing the registered version of FSUIPC FSX stuttering every 5sec. I didn´t make any configuration in the FSUIPC menu. The only thing i made is to register FSUIPC. Does anyone have an idea what FSUIPC do with my FSX ? Thank you in Advance Andreas
