Can FSUIPC be causing this?

[Jon Kinket]

Hi Pete,

I have posted a problem on the Radar Contact forum, and I was wondering if you could have a look at it, because I was wondering if this problem can be caused by FSUIPC?

You can find my topic under the following link: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/392597-resuming-flight-with-pmdg-b744/

Hopefully you can shed some light on this.

Thanks in advance,

Jon

It's a problem with the PMDG aircraft -- and, as far as I was aware, a well known one at that. Their aircraft save states and reload states in their own sets of files, using their own Save and Reload menu entries. Those are either not saved by the standard flight save call into FS, or are not reloaded when the flight reload call is done -- or quite probably both. You need, I think to either save using their facility, or reload using their facility (as well as reloading the RC files), or even both.

You say:

If I load the saved flight in FSX (to get FS running) everything is ok in the cockpit, but if I then load the previously saved .rcd file and return to the cockpit, all the gauges in the cockpit are blacked out (i.e. the PFD's/ND's/EICAS).

but my guess is that this is completely the wrong way around. Reload the RC files first, then the flight in FS.

I don't use any PMDG aircraft so I cannot help further I'm afraid. If you can't figure it out I suggest you post in the PMDG forums.

FSUIPC and Radar Contact cannot help with such things in any way at all, and they most certainly are not the cause!

BTW I never actually use the RC save/reload options either. With a complete cockpit driven via six other client PCs and lots of different modules such as Project Magenta, it would be almost impossible to continue a flight from part way through -- in fact quicker usually to start the flight again from scratch!
