[Stuck on 9.6 Rev7? (solved by user)]

Seem to have got it sorted. Uninstalled then reinstalled from the full installer - this gave me Rev 8 which I then updated to Rev 9.  Registered ok and now updating DB etc.

As always, many thanks for a great programme.

[Stuck on 9.6 Rev7? (solved by user)]

Sure this is simple but I could not see a way.  I am on 9.6 Rev 7 having missed the Rev 8 update which doe not appear to be available anymore but I need it before I can update to Rev9.

Grateful for advice

[FSUIPC Crashes FSX SE changing to full screen???]

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!!]

[FSUIPC Crashes FSX SE changing to full screen???]

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

 

 

[FSUIPC Crashes FSX SE changing to full screen???]

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

[Can't choose mapped network drive in Windows 10 (answered)]

Thanks Volker - I was never in any doubt that FSC would be ok under Win10.  My problem was why I had this issue with my particular installation.

So, first level of Diagnosis, tried safe mode with networking - and FSC and the DBM detected mapped network drives correctly!!  So I booted back to normal win10 mode  and tried again - and the problem was resolved???

Interesting - safe mode is often good for identifying where a problem might lie but I have never seen it actually resolve a problem.

Anyway - all ok now.

 

 

[Can't choose mapped network drive in Windows 10 (answered)]

Thanks for coming in Volker

But - as i said- I had already tried the options in that thread

As far as I know the necessary drives are integrated into the network {AS Next; VPilot,  FSI pilot etc etc all integrate perfectly with two way traffic across the network

But the FSC DB manager and the FSC save flight plan programmes do not recognise drives mapped across the network.

 Appreciate that you do not support Win10 but this is the first programme that I have had a problem with (including a Win 98 programme that worked immediately!!}

again, thanks

[Can't choose mapped network drive in Windows 10 (answered)]

Have just updated to Win10 and have exactly the problem raised in the thread

"Can't choose mapped network drive in Windows 8.1"

I have been running FSC across a network on Win 7 for many years without issue. I  have now  tried both option sin the above thread     including the registry fix with no luck.

Applies to FS9/FSX/P3d. And FSC itself runs fine on the network via FSUIPC

Wonder if anyone else has any ideas for Win10?

 

Many thanks

 

 

[V8.5 Help - Can only save FP in FS9 Format]

Jean-Jaques

Merci b'coup.

Quite right - in fact I had seen your original post already.

In the end I re-installed via V8.0, 8.2, 8.22 etc etc checking the file save at each stage.

Guess what - when I got to 8.5 it still worked. Must have been a corrupt file somewhere.

C'est la vie!!

Regards

John

[V8.5 Help - Can only save FP in FS9 Format]

Made some progress - I can now see the FP files for PMDG and Level D in my FS 9 folder when using the save dialogue. The list of previously saved fp is there showing them a rte files.

But - when I select save, the FP is saved in the correct folder but only saved in the pln format rather than the rte format necessary????

Still v grateful for any advice.

[V8.5 Help - Can only save FP in FS9 Format]

Operating FSC with Win XP and via two computers using Wide FS. Had no problems with previous versions {I have had FSC for many years}.

Recently installed v8.5 and find that I cannot save fp in any other mode than for FS9 ie in the flight simulator files folder. When I try to save, for example, fp in level d format, although I have mapped the FS 9 folder correctly, selecting SAVE has no effect. I noticed that on the save dialogue, I cannot see any files in the FS9 folder {as I could when save worked in previous versions}.

Also notice that, if I try to save level d in FSX, with the FSX folder mapped correctly, I see XML files under the FSX directory in the SAVE dialogue box.

V Grateful for any help as I am totally confused at what might have happened.
