Peter, Following further testing online in VATSIM my FSX once again crashed to desktop whilst taxiing to the runway. Windows event log Error message as follows: Faulting application fsx.exe, version 10.0.61472.0, time stamp 0x475e17d3, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x00000000, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x00001c6e, process id 0x153c, application start time 0x01cefb85f060773a. The message gives no indicator of the faulting module, but in FSX the error was indicated as being in simconnect.dll and ntdll.dll. The FSUIPC Log gave no indication of an error at all. I subsequently removed FSUIPC from the modules directory and rebooted FSX, re-mapping all the controls via FSX as it was previously. I have since flown two successful flights online with no errors. I'm scratching my head over this one but whilst I can't seem to point the error directly to FSUIPC, it seems that something in my FSX just isnt compatible with it; so thanks for your help but for now I'll live without it unless you can shed any further light on what else might be the problem. Thanks again for your help. Mark.

Peter, I've updated FSUIPC to version 4.9.2.5 from your website and did a short trial flight this evening. So far so good. Will try it on a longer flight this week to see if the problem replicates but I'm cautiously optimistic!

Peter, The event in the Windows event viewer reads as follows: "Faulting application fsx.exe, version 10.0.61472.0, time stamp 0x475e17d3, faulting module FSUIPC4.dll, version 4.9.2.4, time stamp 0x52a733c0, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x00013670, process id 0x1834, application start time 0x01cef6d02d011840." In response to your recommendations I've reinstalled simconnect from the SDK (using simconnect.msi) and have also deleted all previous versions of activesky that were still installed on the computer in case they were causing some sort of incompatibility issue. In answer to your question I've never reinstalled any component of FSX in the 5 years I've installed it on this computer, and have experienced nil Crashes to DEsktop until I started using FSUIPC in October. Now that I've renewed simconnect I'll run FSX again during this coming week and will let you know how it goes. Thanks again for the advice.

Hi Pete, thanks for the reply. Tried to put the ini file in the last entry but it seemed to refeuse it - something to do with the forum settings. Anyway, here is a transcript of the latest log file (edited the first couple of lines to cut the email and licence details: FSUIPC4 Key is provided WIDEFS7 not user registered, or expired 78 System time = 13/12/2013 11:29:44 78 FLT path = "C:\Users\Mark\Documents\Flight Simulator X Files\" 187 Trying to connect to SimConnect Acc/SP2 Oct07 ... 265 FS path = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\" 889 N.B.

Hoppies CPLDC program is a client program of FSUIPC and needs FSUIPC to extract info for it to operate. information can be found at http://www.hoppie.nl It seems to be some sort of issue with Actvesky 2012, I think. As I said, I've renewed the DLL.XML file and updated to the latest version of FSUIPC but it has me foxed. And for what it's worth here's my FSUIPC.ini transcript.

I have had troubles with regular and random CTDs in FSX whilst using FSUIPC. It never occurred before using FSUIPC in October. Symptoms are that FSX suddenly freezes and crashes to desktop. And it can be any part of the flight - on taxi, on cruise or on approach. The attributable file is sometimes FSX.exe and more recently it has been FSUIPC4.DLL. Another DLL it often points to is MSSVCR80.dll. Other times I have noted a simconnect related error. I use Activesky 2012. The operating system is Vista 64-bit. I have renewed the DLL.XML file and downloaded the latest copy of FSUIPC but it hasn't fixed the problem. Attached is a copy of my FSUIPC.ini file. I am very IT literate but this fault completely escapes me. I would be grateful if someone could give me some pointers as to where to look next. I am wondering if certain sounds might be causing the error. I never experienced any CTDs before starting to use FSUIPC and the only reason I started using it was to be able to better map my controls and to interface with Hoppie's CPLDC software. Any ideas?
