[2 Problems: Long start up and crash when changing plane]

Wellsome kind of ...

I'm a Aircraft Painter and therefore I have to restart FS more often to see the changes of my liveries, because with some aircrafts FS seems to cache the livery files. When I change them and don't restart, I will see the old one at the plane. After the restart I get the new one :oops:

Do you know a parameter in FS 9 to log the start up sequence?

[2 Problems: Long start up and crash when changing plane]

I have 512 MB of RAM, that should be enough ...

I did a CLEAN intstall, deleted every file I know having something to do with FS9

Startup-Time: 10 seconds

Just copied FSUIPC into the Modules folder

Startup-Time: 48 secondsI don't know what else to do ...

Does FSUIPC write to/read/need something in the registry which isn't there /is wrong ?

Ok - it worked :!: :D

The crash does not appear anymore :D You know your stuff 8)

Thanks :!:

But there is still this long start up timeeven with the default flight (Cessna 172 in Seattle). I didn't change anyting in this ...

Any suggestions?

[2 Problems: Long start up and crash when changing plane]

is accessing FSUIPC in an incorrect manner -- it is trying to use it like an external application. This is extremely inefficient (and it most certainly won't work with an unregistered FSUIPC installation). If I were you I'd try to determine which Gauge in that aircraft's panel is doing this, and remove it.

No matter which aircraft I choose - I get always a crash ...

I will try the tip with deleting FS9.cfg.

Hi Pete!

I'm using FSUIPC 3.22 and FS2004.

I have two problems:

Number one (experiencing since I use FSUIPC):

The Start up process of FS9 takes *much* longer with FSUIPC installed than without:

With FSUIPC (registered or not does not matter, neither the existance of an FSUIPC.ini or FSUIPC.key) it takes 48 seconds to get to the point, where I can choose flight - without FSUIPC it takes nearly 10 secondsis that normal :?:

Number two came new last week:

When I try to change the plane while FSUIPC is installed, I get the following crash-message, no matter which plane I choose (even deafult planes). When I uninstall FSUIPC, everything works fine. Before getting the crash, there was also a *very* long period of time between choosing the plane and getting to the "flight"-window again.

FSUIPC.log looks like this after the crash:
