Worst case, play with the AffinityMask setting in FSX.CFG to prevent it from using all the cores. Cheers! Luke

That's odd - I can happily run FSX, Visual C# Community Edition, my add-on and Eclipse debugging a remote JVM application without issue. What kind of hardware do you have? Cheers! Luke

Thanks for the explanation. I appreciate it. Do you have a suggested test for wind smoothing that I can execute to validate that it's working? I've not worked with changing the weather via FSUIPC but I can happily whip up a simple utility to write to some offsets. Cheers! Luke

I'm running AS2012 SP3 and I've noticed that the wind shifts seem more abrupt than before - looking at the log I noticed a line that puzzles me: ********* FSUIPC4, Version 4.937 by Pete Dowson ********* Reading options from "D:\Program Files\FSX\Modules\FSUIPC4.ini" Running inside FSX on Windows 7 Module base=626A0000 User Name="Luke Kolin" User Addr="luke@sce.net" FSUIPC4 Key is provided WIDEFS7 not user registered, or expired 16 System time = 02/11/2014 10:48:03 16 FLT path = "C:\Users\luke.POLARIS\Documents\Flight Simulator X Files\" 312 Trying to connect to SimConnect Acc/SP2 Oct07 ... 312 FS path = "D:\Program Files\FSX\" 515 LogOptions=00000000 00000001 515 SIM1 Frictions access gained 515 Wind smoothing fix is fully installed 515 G3D.DLL fix attempt installed ok 515 SimConnect_Open succeeded: waiting to check version okay 515 Trying to use SimConnect Acc/SP2 Oct07 2106 Running in "Microsoft Flight Simulator X", Version: 10.0.61472.0 (SimConnect: 10.0.61259.0) 2106 Initialising SimConnect data requests now 2106 FSUIPC Menu entry added 2122 C:\Users\luke.POLARIS\Documents\Flight Simulator X Files\KSEA 34R.FLT 2122 D:\Program Files\FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\C172\Cessna172SP.AIR 2122 Weather Mode now = Global 14149 ASE with WX requester detected 19843 D:\Program Files\FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\LVLD_B763\B767-300.AIR 76175 System time = 02/11/2014 10:49:19, Simulator time = 11:48:05 (11:48Z) 76191 Aircraft="Level D Simulations B767-300ER - Liberty Studios Delta Airlines" 77080 Weather Mode now = Theme 77158 Starting everything now ... 77174 AES Link established 77236 Weather Mode now = Global 77330 Advanced Weather Interface Enabled 127546 Weather Mode now = Theme 127999 Weather Mode now = Global 392015 ***** HID USB device reconnected: re-initialising FSUIPC connections 555067 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 479 secs = 43.3 fps 555067 Average weather filter write interval in that time = 3547.5 msecs Specifically the line at 14149 - does this get emitted with ASE as well as AS2012? Cheers! Luke

What is "it"? The error message is from an add-on that's attempting to talk to FSUIPC. Do you have a screen shot? Cheers! Luke

What add-on has the error? Cheers! Luke

I'll let the OP answer here, but so long as one is not using a joystick axis, the data appears to correct. I am in the process of reinstalling my PMDG737X and I will validate later this weekend. Cheers! Luke

(Argh. Forum ate my first post!) I'm reading 30F0 and 30F4, adding them together than shifting right 9 bits for an average flaps value. Since PMDG and most add-ons do something funky I also adjust the flaps based on the values than FSX reports. I can provide those ranges if it helps. Cheers! Luke

It's a screenshot of an XML editor. Looks like two entries. Cheers! Luke

FSUIPC looks like it's running fine. Cheers! Luke

There you go. The weather file is corrupt. FSUIPC isn't causing the crash, it's just reading the weather Cheers! Luke

How would you connect to FSUIPC if you're not running on a Windows box? Neither FSUIPC nor WideClient run on OSX, IIRC. Cheers! Luke

FWIW I don't believe SB4 writes weather at all to FSX. Cheers! Luke

Can you telnet to the server using port 6600? That should test whether it can work or not - if you can't either FSX isn't running or something is blocking the connection. Cheers! Luke

Before you reset the network stack have you checked that a) the IP address for the server is correct, and b) the firewall isn't blocking the port for SimConnect? Cheers! Luke

4.92, or 4.923? Cheers! Luke

How dare you take vacation at such a critical juncture! :) Cheers! Luke

Autosave isn't the culprit, per se - the problem is that for the PMDG777 the save cycle is too long. I wouldn't be surprised if SB4 also has an issue with it. Cheers! Luke

If he's actually referring to XSquawkbox, that's an X-Plane product that doesn't work with FSX. Cheers! Luke

Fascinating. So to confirm, you just wrote the new PLN to 0x130 and 0x3130 got updated? Cheers! Luke

FSUIPC looks like it's running fine. Are you running FS9 as admin, and your add-ons at some lower privilege level? Cheers! Luke

Sorry to bump, but the user is having trouble finding the INI file - it's not in the Modules folder where I have mine. What directory does FSUIPC write its settings to? Cheers! Luke

Pete, I've gotten a few reports from my users regarding FSUIPC4 reporting that FSX is not "ready to fly". I check offsets 0x3364 and 0x3365 for a non-zero value, and if either reports != 0 I return back the message. When working with the users, they've provided FSUIPC logs that say "Delaying SimConnect connection". I've tried googling this message with few results. I'm curious, what prompts FSUIPC to delay the SimConnect connection? It looks like it's been delayed here for around 33s, but then it connects just fine. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. I'm enclosing one of my users' submitted logs. Cheers!
