Hello,

suddenly I get the following error message some seconds after opening the FSUIPC connection:

 

FSUIPC Error #15: FSUIPC_ERR_SIZE. The amount of data requested exceeded the maximum allowed in one Process()
 
Actually I request only a handfull offsets from FSUIPC and did not have any problems in the past. I did not add any new offset or data request.
 
Would be very helpful for further troublesshooting to know under which circumstances FSUIPC.dll generates the message.
 
Thanks for your help!
 
Best regards

Sounds like a corrupted length field. Try using the logging in FSUIPC to see what is going on -- though I think that error is detected in the FSUIPC_Read or Write functions built into your code, before FSUIPC sees them.

Hi Ruediger,

 

There is only one place the DLL throws this error. It's during the process() when it detects that the data exchange file is greater than approx. 32K.

 

If you're only requesting a few offsets and the amount of data is way under the 32K limit, the most likely cause is a that you program is creating the same offsets over and over. Have you changed where/how you are declaring your offsets?

 

Make sure each offset only gets declared once in the lifetime of your application. Usually this is done by declaring them as variables in the form/class level. If you create them in code then make sure that code only runs once, or if it needs to run more than once, make sure you clean up the offsets by either:

 

a. Calling .Disconnect() on the offset before it goes out of scope.

b. Adding them to a group and then calling FSUIPCConnection.DeleteGroup() before they go out of scope.

 

If you still can't see the problem in your code I'll be happy to take a look if you want to paste the offset declarations here, or PM them to me if you prefer. Otherwise I could add some diagnostics to the DLL so you can better see what's happening with the memory file.

Hi Pete, Hi Paul,

I found the problem and learned :-)

 

The issue was that I called FSUIPCConnection.Process from 2 different forms. I could solve the problem and improved my code. Now I call FSUIPCConnection.Process only from the main form. All works well now. However, would it be possible to have a kind of 'isBusy' flag while FSUIPC.DLL is processing a request.

Hi Ruediger,

 

It's good that you got it working.

 

I'm not convinced that the problem was running Process() from a different form. Unless you're explicitly running the other form on a separate thread, both forms will be running on the same thread. This means that the process() method cannot be executed at the same time by both forms because only one form can run code at a time.

 

The isBusy flag won't be of any use to single-threaded application.

 

Anyway if it's working now, that's the main thing.

Hi, I have the same problem in my program, but only after when start a second flight. When I start my program the code works fine. The aircraft is loaded and refueled. When doing a second flight and run the code again I get the Message FSUIPC Error #15: FSUIPC_ERR_SIZE. I have declared the variables only once and don't know how to fix. Here is my code with the error: Errorline is marked as 'Error in this line...' and is when I run the line FSUIPCConnection.Process()

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi, 

There doesn't seem to be much wrong with this sub you have posted. Most of it uses the payload services which manages the offsets for you.

There is one small issue: 

Dim Parkingbrk As Offset(Of Short) = New FSUIPC.Offset(Of Short)(&HBC8)

This offset is being re-created every time you call refuel(). If you call it 3 times you will have three copies of this offset. That's obviously not enough to cause the  FSUIPC_ERR_SIZE, but you might be making the same mistake elsewhere in your code.

Are you creating offsets anywhere else? You should declare offsets at the form or module level. If you declare them in subs they get created again and again. Even if the variables go out of scope, the offsets are still there.

If you must declare them in a sub, place them in a group and then delete the group when you are finished. E.g: 

Dim Parkingbrk As Offset(Of Short) = New FSUIPC.Offset(Of Short)("refuelOffsets", &HBC8)

....

FSUIPCConnection.Process("refuelOffsets")

....

FSUIPCConnection.DeleteGroup("refuelOffsets")

Exit Sub

Hello Paul,

thank you very much for your fast reply. I will check and rewrite the code to Groups and report in a few days. I don't think I have declared the variables multiple times. But I check it also.

Hi Paul,

I was able to test today. First test was looking good. I solved it with your suggestion to make a group and delete it at the end of the sub.

Thank you very much for your support.

Matthias
