P3D: FSGRW and FSUIPC connection problems

[Cornflex]

Hi Pete,

 

I use Prepar3D 1.4 and the registered FSUIPC 4.90 in combination with Pilot’s FS Global Real Weather (FSGRW).

 

My PC specs:

Intel i7 3770K

Asrock P67 Pro Mainboard

16GB RAM DDR3 1600

2* GTX680 SLI

Windows 8

 

During every flight FSGRW stops working and the log shows the following error:

 

<Message OccurenceDate="15.08.2013 22:39:04" Type="Error" Category="EspEngine" Description="ENG_ERR_WC1" Exception="CommunicationException: An exception occured when communicating with the simulator!" CallStack="   at FsGlobal.RealWeather.Library.Client.Connectors.FsuipcConnector.Process()    at FsGlobal.RealWeather.Library.Client.Engines.FsuipcFsWeatherEngine.PerformFsuipcWindControl(Boolean pTransferHighAltitudeWinds)" InnerException="FSUIPCException: FSUIPC Error #9: FSUIPC_ERR_NOTOPEN.

InnerCallStack="   at FsGlobal.RealWeather.Library.Client.Connectors.P3dConnector.GetAircraftGroundSpeed()" />

 

The problem can be reproduced with every aircraft (P3D Mooney, Carenado Cessna 206, Airbus Extended, PMDG 737). I’ve already posted it over at the FSGRW forums but they cannot help and just say it is a problem related to Windows 8. In the meantime I changed RAM modules but without success. I do not overclock my PC. Weather settings in FSUIPC have been turned off. I use FSUIPCs joystick settings.

 

Can you help?

Joerg

During every flight FSGRW stops working and the log shows the following error:

 

Sorry, but with the error occurring in FSGRW, and with such an unintelligible string of data (well, unintelligible to me, anyway), I don't see how I can help at all. Is it related to FSUIPC at all? Seems to me to be an "OverflowException: Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow.", which must surely be simple enough for them to track down?

 

If there are no errors showing up in the FSUIPC4.LOG file then only the FSGRW folks can help. If they are simply saying "it is a problem related to Windows 8" I assume they've analysed the error report (at least they should understand it) and found a Windows 8 incompatibility? Have they decided not to support Windows 8?

 

BTW FSUIPC 4.90 support ceased when 4.91 was released. You need to update FSUIPC at least.

Pete
