Pete, A short update in case anyone sees this issue in the future - very unlikely. Your response above put me on the right track. Whenever i reinstall/rebuild one of my flight simulators I automatically copy a LUA script {ipcReady.lua - displays touchdown VS} into the modules folder - I have done it for years without any problems. So I removed the script and, of course, FSX SE / FSUIPC ran perfectly. Also I had noticed that SE took approx 4 secs more that the boxed version to change from window to fullscreen mode - which suggested that I might have a graphics problem in SE. So I removed the display element from the lua script and, again, SE ran correctly and the LUA script recorded the touchdown VS in the FSUIPC log as expected. Of course I have tried different NV drivers and settings without any effect. Finally, I looked at the FSX.cfg for SE and compared it with the boxed version. Eventually found that the answer was to run SE in DX10 preview mode - window/full screen mode changes are normal and the full ipcReady.lua script runs and displays correctly. So in all, it looks as though I have some form of graphics conflict in the unique situation on the lua script in FSX SE DX 9 - could be hardware or software but perhaps understandable in view of the age of my system - the 660TI gpu is getting a bit long in the tooth now [like me!!] John Rooum

Pete Many thanks. First thing I did this pm was to redownload the latest FSUIPC just to make sure. Also, this is my third clean reinstall of the FSX SE sim - so my thoughts are to hardware or the OS - but why is FSX boxed ok?? But you have given some other ideas where I might look so I will do some more investigation tomorrow [I have an old i860 pc which originally ran FSX so I might try FSX SE in that as a test bed!!] along with digging into other running services etc etc Thanks again John

Apologies for the long post but this is very odd [ and using the wrong forum earlier!!]. 1. Run FS9, FSX, P3D for XX years with no problems from FSUIPC 2. Couple of months ago installed FSX SE side by side with FSX. 3. Installed lots of add-ons – several UK2000 scenery, GEX, UTX, PMDG, iFly etc. Started seeing an odd crash when changing from windowed mode to full screen. After lots of research including reinstalling FSX SE 3 times concluded the following: 1. Clean install of FSX SE – No add-ons, no dll;.xml, no exe.xml – FSX SE runs correctly with no crashing 2. Install latest version of FSUIPC [the ONLY add-on] – run FSX SE loading in windowed mode [maximised “0” or “2”] FSUIPC enabled. When FSX SE loads at default location, select full screen mode – FSX SE crashes. Details are: Problem Event Name – BEX Fault Module -- Unknown Exception Code – c000005 Now, if I run FSX SE with maximised set to 1 – ie full screen – FSX SE loads ok and I can change back to window and then to full screen as often as I like – no problems. But – if I select the FSX SE.cfg to start in windowed mode this is entirely reproduceable. Note. Tried several different NV drivers and many different settings. Note – saw in an earlier post that the file wxstationlist.bin might have an effect. So, if I delete that file, then run FSX SE with FSUIPC enabled – all ok. I can change screen mode with no problems. I then close FSX SE and wxstationlist.bin rebuilds – if I then restart FSX SE in windowed mode - same crash when I restart FSX SE in window mode and then change to fullscreen. Very easy work-around. Always initially load FSX SE in full screen mode. But this is not the point – what is the difference between FSX and FSX SE that causes this …………………. V grateful for any help John Rooum
