  1. Hello again, I have been watching my sim and FSUIPC since my last report. I recalled one of your comments regarding possible repeated keypress events. On one flight all was going well and then something changed to cause the sim to take over the PC; that is, could not refocus to any other application. I then chose to toggle my Saitek flight quadrant throttle lever to its full down detent (FSUIPC F2 repeat for reversers) back to where it was before. The issue disappeared ! I had my PC back. Since then I have taken the time, once FSUIPC is loaded, to move my throttle in and out of detent and other quadrant levers to maybe get them to be calmed down. I have yet to experience the dreaded sim take-over since. Fingers crossed !
  2. I shall post the items the next time I run into the issue. For some strange reason when I start MSFS and FSUIPC after making those previous tests and having good results for a time with the standard avionics everything seems to be working again with the XCub. Really strange. Almost like MSFS remembers things that maybe it should not.
  3. Thanks for the reply John, I did some more checking this morning. I began by loading the XCub which has one of the advanced avionics (Garmin?). I had FSUIPC set to not auto-connect. I started the flight and observed what happened when I clicked on the sim and then on the desktop. Everything worked. I then connected FSUIPC. Almost immediately the act of clicking outside the sim did not result in happiness. Could not get focus on any other running app including FSUIPC. I went back to the main menu and FSUIPC was active again. I disconnected FSUIPC. I then, as I have been flying the A320 of late, I loaded the A320. When I then enabled FSUIPC everything worked. I then changed to various airliners. All worked. Note that I did not restart the sim during these tests. I then went to the jets. They all worked. Same for turboprops. I then went back to prop planes and loaded the Asobo C172 (analogue gauges). It worked without issues. I completed an online flight using FSUPIC and an associated app. Everything worked without any issues. It almost seems that something happens when the Garmin avionics are involved ? The only thing that I have set in FSUIPC is a Saitek quadrant low throttle detent set to "F2" to invoke reversers. I shall set up some further tests to see if I can capture events and send to you.
  4. Hello, Lately I have been encountering an issue that is more than perplexing. On occasion whilst in game attempts to switch from MSFS (Deluxe+Store Version) to another app or even to have the Windows 10 Start button work have been prevented. Windows 10 Pro and MSFS are all up to date. Under normal circumstances one can click outside the sim to the desktop or other running app and the sound from the sim will stop. Other applications can be then accessed. What is happening now is that once FSUIPC is connected to the sim after a few minutes it is no longer possible to change focus from the sim. Clicking on another app simply gives a quick flash of the form but does not take focus. All the while the sim sound is continuing. The only way I have been able to get back to the OS is to go back to the sim main menu. I have tried cleaning out the nvidia drivers and starting fresh. Also reverted to the release version of FSUIPC 7 but the same thing is happening and it appears to be now a constant issue. Install and run logs attached for reference. Hoping that somebody has experienced this and has a solution. FSUIPC7-DRW-logs.zip
  5. I was referring to a clean P3Dv4.2 install with only FSUIPC 5 . Always my first step before adding anything else to the sim.
  6. Hello, I had tried 5.123c earlier with a clean install of P3D v4.2. I had menu problems. The menus would not work but P3D would not crash. It (whatever) would however disable the add-on after a few minutes and continue to work with functional menus after that. Today I replaced the dll with 5.123d and after restarting the menus now appear to work correctly and FSUIPC does launch from the menu..
  7. July 9, 2017 Issue with P3Dv4 and FSUIPC5 (fully licensed version with WideFS Server). When P3Dv4 starts it launches and the aircraft appears but the sim is non-responsive for seemingly 2 minutes. If I wait patiently I have found that the sim eventually becomes active and responsive. If I deactivate FSUIPC5 and restart P3Dv4 it starts and runs right away. I have reinstalled Xpack simconnect but that makes no difference. Removing GFDevv64.dll makes no difference.
