Thank you for your reply Pete, that is very helpful. Yes, I have PMDG 737, 777, 747 and FSL A320 and it usually the A320 that I am flying. I do have Super Traffic Board although it is not installed on this PC, so I will install and check. Thank you for your guidance. Mark

Hi Pete, Thank you for your Program that I have used for many years. I have a small query. In the log, what does "Restarting traffic scanning due to non-reception" mean? Is the reference to traffic meaning data traffic between FSX and applications via simconnect or is it a reference to AI Traffic? The reason I ask is on every flight (FSX Acceleration) on Windows 10 Pro, using AS16 and either RC4 or PF3, I have AI Chatter on Clearance Delivery, Ground, Tower and Departures, and when handed over to Centre/Control, I may get one or two AI Chatter calls and then that is it, all the way through to destination, with plenty of AI Traffic around me including approaches into busy terminal areas. I will never hear anything again from half way through climb all the way to touch down at the other end, which can be a simple Melbourne to Sydney or a flight from the U.K or Australia to Hong Kong and that is a lot of silence! The fact that two ATC add on programs are displaying the same behaviour leads me to believe that something is happening on my PC to snuff AI Chatter out. I suspect the "Restarting traffic scanning due to non-reception" and the cessation of AI Traffic chatter are related but I don't know what I am looking for to fix it. The message in log seems to appear around the same time I last hear AI talking. My AI is My Traffic Professional 6a. Thank you for reading. I appreciate my issue is not FSUIPC related, and maybe my issue and the log entry are completely different things but I am hoping the log is telling me something. I just need to work out what the something is. Kind regards, Mark

Thanks Thomas, nice to know it is not me going around the bend! I have been trying to work out the source of this issue for ages. I bought PF3 to stop using RC4 given PF3 is still supported and developed and it had the same problem (AI chatter stops after the first AS16 weather update at 15 minutes), so it was just a matter of slow elimination as it was too coincidental. All the best, Mark.

Gents, I have been chasing down an issue for quite sometime that I had with Radar Contact and after a lot of research I thought that somehow I may have had a simconnect issue. Eventually, I got around to the FSUIPC.ini to see if anything there could give me a clue and I noticed my SimConnectStallTime was =20. I had certainly never touched that entry and after reading the manual, I saw its default was =1. I changed mine to =1 and my issue did not seem solved and I went back into the .ini to examine the other entries and I saw my SimConnectStallTime was now =2 but half an hour ago I changed it to =1. I deleted the entry all together and re ran FSX and it was now added as =1 and I flew and my problem was gone. So returning to the .ini, it seems every time I start FSX the SimConnectStallTime is counting, so if I delete the entry and start FSX four times, it will change up one integer each time i.e. delete from .ini, run FSX, it is added as =1, shut FSX, re-launch, it now =2, shut down FSX, re-launch, it now =3 and so on, and all the way up to 20 where it seems to cap (and that is what my entry was when I first noticed it). However, the functionality of the entry is working, thus causing my issue if it is more than =1! I have the latest module 494f. So, before I fly, I go into the .ini, delete the entry, it is added as =1 when FSX runs, and there is no problem. I run FSX legacy (Delux Boxed) on Windows 10 Pro, with Radar Contact, AS16, PMDG 737, 747, 777, FSLabs A320, Majestic Q400 however all of the tests to see the counting integer effect were just with the default trike, thus eliminating that it is an add-on doing this. Strange hey? Regards, Mark
