FSUIPC4.104 logging on its own...

[Gypsy Baron]

Hi pete.

I just happened to notice yesterday that my FSUIPC4.log file was on

the large size and opened it up to find that it is logging events, even

though I do not have logging enabled.

I searched through the INI file and couldfind nothing in there that

was related to turning logging on and in the drop-down menu in FSX

logging is not enables. I did enabled it and then disabled it to see

if the "toggle" would cure the problem but it did not.

Here's the first few entries when I started flight:

I'm running FSX SP1. I've not had an occasion to look at the log file

for some time so I can't say when this problem started.

I searched through the INI file and couldfind nothing in there that

logging is not enables.

Let me see the INI file -- looks like a Monitor entry is there, or possibly a LogExtras.

Here's the first few entries after I enabled logging, selected "New Log" and then disabled logging:

There's no such thing as "disabling logging". FSUIPC always creates a log. It will log certain things always. However, certainly these:

1338781 SimRead: 0BB6="AILERON POSITION"

FLT64: 0.025146484375

1338922 SimRead: 0BB6="AILERON POSITION"

1339265 SimRead: 0BB6="AILERON POSITION"

1339406 SimRead: 0BB6="AILERON POSITION"

FLT64: 0.0264892578125

1339562 SimRead: 0BB6="AILERON POSITION"

1339703 SimRead: 0BB6="AILERON POSITION"

1339890 SimRead: 0BB6="AILERON POSITION"

FLT64: 0.0310668945313

should only appear if there's a LogsimC or Monitor entry for 0BB6, or a specific LogExtras value set, introduced (temporarily, for 4.104 only, to debug one user's specific problem which turned out not to be a problem anyway).

I need to see the INI.

Okay, never mind about the INI file -- I've reproduced the case where it is logging the Aileron changes notified from SimConnect. I'll fix it in ther next increment (4.105, or maybe 4.11), within the next few days. Thanks for letting me know.

Thanks Pete. What I meant by turning off logging was the logging

of events feature where the types of events to be inclucded in the

log can be selected via the menu. ( The one that you caution about

using too much as the log file grows rapidly) :)

Oh, yes. Okay. Anyway, the problem is fixed in 4.11. Thanks for reporting it in time! ;-)
