JD Linn Posted September 1, 2014 Report Posted September 1, 2014 Thank heavens for the autosave for FSUIPC, saves me OFTEN!. I have "asked it" to only save one flight. Which it does. But when I go into the documents section for my flight sim (P3D), there are a whole list of autosaves in there. Is there any way to save the latest but not ALL of them? Just curious. (To solve the problem now, after each flight, I just go in and delete all the autosaves). Maybe i've got a setting wrong, maybe this is the "way it is" ... but I don't remember this happening before. Thank you. More curiosity than a problem.
Pete Dowson Posted September 9, 2014 Report Posted September 9, 2014 The files FSUIPC knows about should not be accumulating more than the number of iterations you've allowed in the settings. For files it doesn't know about you need to tell it via parameters in the INI file. This is described in the FSUIPC Advanced Users guide. The ones it knows about are FLT, FXML, FSSAVE, WX, PSS, FMC, ABL, RCD, SPB and IPCBIN. Pete
colang Posted September 9, 2014 Report Posted September 9, 2014 Hello, I observed the same strange behaviour, as I use the autosave and it worked perfectly until now. I tried to investigate a little and discovered that Prepar3d v2.3 save now one more file (.pnl if I remember correctly) containing the panel state. Maybe FSUIPC deletes all the .wx and.flt files beyond the specified number (eg: keeps the last 10) but it's unaware of the existance of .pnl files, so it don't delete them. Did I guess correctly?
colang Posted September 9, 2014 Report Posted September 9, 2014 If possible should be nice it can recognize by default the new P3d svaed files. Meantime, as workaround, which could be the parameter to be specified in .ini file? Thanks as ever for the great work and support.

I never noticed the .pnl files. I'll add that in the next update. Not sure when that'll be though. Meantime, as workaround, which could be the parameter to be specified in .ini file? You can do it by simply adding one line to the [AutoSave] section of the INI file. Please see the Autosave section in the Advanced User's guide for FSUIPC4. Pete
colang Posted September 11, 2014 Report Posted September 11, 2014 Great!! Just tried yesterday night, and works perfectly. Thanks again. Claudio.
Pete Dowson Posted September 11, 2014 Report Posted September 11, 2014 FSUIPC 4.936b, just uploaded (see Download Links subforum) now tidies up the .PNL files automatically, even without additional parameters. Pete
