Luis Miguel Lopes Posted October 8, 2013 Report Posted October 8, 2013 So i'm a FSX user for severall years and i fly for a VA, wich uses Acars. I constantly suffer of interupted flights because sometimes my FSX freezes for some minutes wich causes to FSUIPC loose connection and close, not being able to finish the log and send to my VA. Due to hardware upgrade i had to reinstall Windows 7 64 bits and also FSX, so right now i'm running FSX with only a few addons ( scenery, weather and airplanes ), so it could be considered a almoust "clean" install. Can these freezes may be caused by FSUIPC itself? Is there any way to prevent this connection loss? Thanks in advance!

FSUIPC never "closes". If SimConnect stops sending it data for too long it will attempt to reconnect, and will continue to do so until successful. Please check the FSUIPC4.LOG file and see these attempts in action. If it never recovers then, yes, its operation cannot continue and you won't see the entry for it in the Add-Ons menu. But if it is that drastic then you really have something very badly wrong. Can these freezes may be caused by FSUIPC itself? Not that i know of, but you provide no information at all. What version of FSUIPC (if not at least 4.921 then please update). Is FSX fully updated? Show me the LOG file please. Is there any way to prevent this connection loss? If SimConnect is freezing or crashing, then nothing FSUIPC can do can fix that. You need to find the reason. Does this ACARS system use SimConnect? Could it be a problem with the TCP/IP protocol used on your on-line link -- SimConnect uses TCP/IP too. You probably need to go through a process of elimination -- see if yiu ever get these freezes when not flying on line, or just not using ACARs. Pete

Then 13 seconds, then only 1 second, then ... 5 minutes plus, again, several times, each with double PLAN reloads, until finally the stall is unrecoverable for several reties, but then okay again! etc etc. And a dismal average frame rate too: Average frame rate for running time of 6016 secs = 13.5 fps So, something you are running is doing things, probably via Simconnect, which is making a real mess of FSX's operation, and it is probably all wrapped up with this double PLAN file reloading. Maybe it is somethgng in that Plan file which causes a problem, but that seems unlikely. If that ACARS program is the only add-on you are running then it must surely be the culprit. Try without. I can't really help more than this. FSUIPC is not to blame, it is trying its best. Something else is truly clobbering your FSX performance. Don't know if this ACARS use SimConnect, exe file is at : http://www.flightsimulatorportugal.com/fspdownloads/Install_FSPAcars_1.0.2.3.exe Sorry, I really cannot investigate other folks' programs. I suggest you ask their support. But try without it so you can see if that's the problem. Of course I'm assuming you are using no other add-ons or add-ins. I don't know how you are flying "on-line" but maybe therer's some other program involved too, like FSInn or Squawkbox? If so you might need to check that too. Regards Pete
