PeterVO Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Hello everybody, rather strange question I have (following discussing with Duncan from AirHauler): since quite some time now I use FSUIPC/WideFS without any problem (using f.i. FDC live cockpit, radar contact, wideview, etc etc etc.) To be complete, I do have 4 computers talking to each other, running happily together with Win XP Pro (French version) and 3 Win XP Fam. Ed. (French version), all with SP3. I do have the Belgian local settings (i.e. "1.000,00" for decimal settings in stead of UK/US "1,000.00" settings, with "100 €" in stead of "£ 100" and french language date settings, i.e. "Lundi 2 janvier 2011" and not "Monday, january 2, 2011" and "jj/mm/aaaa" for 02/01/2011 and not "mm,dd,yyyy" for 01/02/2011). Until now this did not pose a problem, except for some Abacus-soft (and solved with their help). Like I said, I did not have a problem until I used AirHauler. When having AirHauler follow my flights my FS9 crashes ("FS2004 has to be shut down, if you were in the middle...we apologize..."). I do have FS9.1. When doing exactly the same flights -without AirHauler, but with all other extensions activated- I do not have any error. AH (according to Duncan) should have US/UK settings but even then FS9 continues to crash. Duncan thinks it should be FSUIPC/WideFS that causes the problem....(but all other soft works) Does anybody have any ideas ? Thanks ever so much, All my best wishes to all of you, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaxus Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 You didn't mention what version of fsuipc you are using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterVO Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Forgot... latest version FSUIPC (3.9.9.1 registered), as is WideFS (3.86 registered)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaxus Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Forgot... latest version FSUIPC (3.9.9.1 registered), as is WideFS (3.86 registered)... Thats quite old, the latest version is 3.998q ---> http://forum.simflight.com/topic/66139-updated-modules/ And widefs is at 6.86 which I think is what you meant.

PeterVO Posted January 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 As a matter of fact, all my extensions work fine with versions FSUIPC as of v3.51 until 3.998 (I installed this one as well), EXCEPT with Airhauler, and that's what my question is about... the moment I start AirHauler (on remote machine through WideFS) a minute or so later FS9 crashes (even when I start AirHauler in the middle of a flight and it tries to connect to FS9)... easy solution: no AirHauler, no problems.... Since AirHauler has an issue with local Belgian settings, I set them to UK/US settings, with English as local language, but in vain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaxus Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 It looks like air hauler is writing something to a offset that fs does not like. Duncan didn't provide a list of offsets his app writes to? If he has maybe you could log those offsets you may find the one that is causing the problem. That being said you could always use the logging feature in fsuipc, then start air hauler and see if it tries to write to a offset which would give a bit of an idea to what's causing the issue. Other than that I will leave this to Pete. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Dowson Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 When having AirHauler follow my flights my FS9 crashes ("FS2004 has to be shut down, if you were in the middle...we apologize..."). Make sure you are using the latest FSUIPC3 (3.998q), then, after you get the error, go to the Windows error log and retrieve the details. (Right click "My computer", select "Manage" then System Tools-Event Viewer. The error will probably be in the Application section. Get the mofule name (DLL) in which the error occurred, and the address and error codes. Also, see what Air Hauler was doing last in FSUIPC by using the ipc Write logging, as alaxus suggested.

Pete Dowson Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 in the FSUIPC.1.log, I juste have this one error: 55250 ERROR: Can't change message filter: functions not available Not relevant. Also ".1.log" files shouldn't appear unless you've been messing pressing 2new log2 buttons in the FSUIPC options screen. in the FSUIPC.log, the last lines are (never an error): I don't expect an error to be shown, only the last few thngs your "air hauler" was doing before FS crashed.

You can decode it from the above data if you like. Then this: 5740969 WRITEex 0262, 2 bytes: 01 00 5741031 WRITEex 6404, 1 bytes: 01 merely pauses FS and does something in Air Hauler's own area. The reads aren't relevant (I only asked you to log the writes anyway). and in the event viewer, I have (after having changed the ntdll.dll already with all the previous versions, this one is the original one) NTDLL.DLL is a core part of Windows and should certainly never be tampered with. Application défaillante fs9.exe, version 9.1.0.40901, module défaillant ntdll.dll, version 5.1.2600.3520, adresse de défaillance 0x000109d8.but as you can see, it is never at the same address (examples for Win XP-SP3) Application défaillante fs9.exe, version 9.1.0.40901, module défaillant ntdll.dll, version 5.1.2600.6055, adresse de défaillance 0x00010a19.

Application défaillante fs9.exe, version 9.1.0.40901, module défaillant ntdll.dll, version 5.1.2600.6055, adresse de défaillance 0x00010a19. This all points to a driver problem, probably the video driver. It most certainly isn't an FSUIPC or Air Hauler problem. Since it occurs when Air Hauler is asking for a window to be displayed, the video driver seems the most likely. You need to find and install a better driver for your video card.

PeterVO Posted January 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 I can understand what you say if there were any OTHER program that gave me this error... but this is not the case... I "fly" years with FS9 and tens of dozens of add-ons (and it is true I did not change my computer for the last four years, having a Core2 Quad processor and a 9800GX2 video card)... never had the slightest problem... it is only recently (and then only with Air Hauler) that this error occurs... Like I said earlier, if I do not use Air Hauler, I (and FS) do not have a problem... Regards, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Dowson Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 I can understand what you say if there were any OTHER program that gave me this error... but this is not the case... I can understand your feeling on this, but nevertheless I don't know any other way crashes occur in NTDLL. the fact that the addresses of the crashes vary so much do indicate that it is very timing dependent. if there were a true bug in one particular part of FS or FSUIPC or Air Hauler it would be at a more consistent address, and almost certainly not in NTDLL. Like I said earlier, if I do not use Air Hauler, I (and FS) do not have a problem... Seems best, then, if you are not willing to try to fix it via driver updates to stop using Air Hauler. I'm sorry, but there is really nothing else I can do for you. Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Dowson Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 One thing to try, just as an experiment. If you are running FS in full screen mode, try windowed, just to see if the error still occurs. Or vice versa of course. ALT+ENTER switches modes.

PeterVO Posted January 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Just forgot to mention: I have 4 (four) computers with same problem, 2 Nvidia, 2 ATI-cards of different generations...that is why I am certain it is not the video-driver... I think the NTDLL is a better option to take a look at... as i understand this is a communications layer for WinXP, and the combination of settings and "native" language could be an issue (french-belgian,us/uk mix). I will try your proposition as well... Very big thanks in the meantime... Regards, Peter PS I was already running in windowed mode, to cope more easily with multi-monitor setups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apsmith6 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Hi Pete, I recently installed Air Hauler but I get the following error message when I try to fly a selected job: "FSUIPC not found in FS installation! Please install it before trying to fly the jobs!". I am running MS Windows 7, I am running Air Hauler and FSX as Adminstrator, I have installed FSUIPC and it shows up in FSX Add-Ons. Do you know what the problem might be? Thanks Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
