jstrong123 Posted September 22, 2015 Report Posted September 22, 2015 Hey ya'll Just wanted to ask for some help... Product I find trouble with is the PMDG 777-200 Base package, During Long flights FSUPIC addon randomly shuts down. It DOES not cause fsx to crash , it just stops working, this causes Smart Cars (VA Flight tracking system) to Loose connection with FSX. The only way I can re-connect with FSX is by exiting the program and restarting from saved flight. Everything is fine and normal again... It only happens during long flights + 6 hours I've look up some possible solutions, but did not come across an answer .. Info: FSX: SE Windows 7 64 Bit AMD FX- 4100 Quad Core 3.6 GHz 8 GB Ram NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 Addons: FSdream Team GSX Rex Textures/Soft Clouds Pmdg 777/737/747 Products Active Sky Thanks Jagard

Have you made sure it is the latest, the only supported version (4.945)? What tells you that FSUIPC has "stopped working"? Just because your ACARS program stops does not mean FSUIPC has stopped. Does the FSUIPC entry in the Add-Ons menu disappear? What tells you to blame FSUIPC? If there is any problem which FSUIPC detects it will be logged. That is what the log is for, so next time it happens, first check whether the FSUIPC entry in Add-Ons is there, and, either way, grab the FSUIPC4.LOG file from the FS Modules folder, and take a look inside -- paste its contets into a mesage here for me to check it for you, if you like. Pete
jstrong123 Posted September 22, 2015 Author Report Posted September 22, 2015 Thanks forgetting back to me Pete. First. The version of FSUPIC that I am running is Version 4.944a. The FSUIPC disappears from the Add-on Menu in FSX, And like I said. It will only re-appear with a restart of FSX I think this is the log your looking for? 655 System time = 22/09/2015 09:04:24 655 FLT path = "C:\Users\Jagard\Documents\Flight Simulator X - Steam Edition Files\" 702 Trying to connect to SimConnect Steam ... 733 FS path = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\" 1076 LogOptions=00000000 00000001 1076 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1076 ------ Setting the hooks and direct calls into the simulator ------ 1076 --- CONTROLS timer memory location obtained ok 1076 --- SIM1 Frictions access gained 1076 --- FS Controls Table located ok 1076 --- Installed Mouse Macro hooks ok. 1076 --- Wind smoothing fix is fully installed 1076 --- All links checked okay 1076 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1076 SimConnect_Open succeeded: waiting to check version okay 1076 Trying to use SimConnect Steam 2355 Running in "Microsoft Flight Simulator X", Version: 10.0.62615.0 (SimConnect: 10.0.62615.0) 2355 Initialising SimConnect data requests now 2355 FSUIPC Menu entry added 2402 C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\flights\other\FLTSIM.FLT 2402 C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\Aircreation_582SL\Aircreation_582SL.air 4820 Weather Mode now = Theme 12027 Weather Mode now = Global 14601 ASE with WX requester detected 17160 C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\PMDG 777-200LR\B777-200LR.air 17160 c:\users\jagard\documents\flight simulator x files\ss.FLT 21762 System time = 22/09/2015 09:04:45, Simulator time = 09:37:16 (07:37Z) 21777 Aircraft="PMDG 777-232LR Delta Air Lines" 46597 Weather Mode now = Theme 46972 Weather Mode now = Global 47596 Starting everything now ... 108467 Advanced Weather Interface Enabled 115160 **** No SimConnect events or states being received!

Pete Dowson Posted September 22, 2015 Report Posted September 22, 2015 The FSUIPC disappears from the Add-on Menu in FSX, And like I said. It will only re-appear with a restart of FSX Right. And the reason is not clear from the Log because it only shows the first 1 hour 20 minutes. 47596 Starting everything now ... 108467 Advanced Weather Interface Enabled 115160 **** No SimConnect events or states being received! Re-connecting now ... **** This is from the very start of the log file. Within 7 seconds of everything being "ready to fly", Simconnect is already floundering, not able to keep up with the demands mad on it. This one is recoverable. But then: 611165 **** No SimConnect events or states being received! Re-connecting now ... **** That's 60 seconds later. Looking through, this failure repeats every 60 seconds. Don't you notice any pauses every 60 seconds? I suspect this is due to a flight being saved at 60 second intervals. The PMDG aircraft are notorious for taking ages to collect all the data to be saved and created large files with the state of everything. Unless your system is really very well set up for disk caching and with fast writing disks, then this appears to take too long. Quite honestly, if you are using some autosave program, or the Autosave in FSUIPC, I would advise against it when using PMDG aircraft. But alternatively, you can change the SimConnectStallTime parameter in FSUIPC's INI file from its default of 1 (second) to something larger. This will make it be more tolerant during such episodes, but perhaps at the cost of upsetting client programs. The rest of the log shows the same things continuing, and it finishes after a mere 1 hour and 20 minutes. So there's no information there about what happens after 6 hours. The performance of your system doesn't look too good though -- how do you manage to tolerate it for 6 hours? ;-) Rather than submit a 6-hour log, with the 60 second repeated re-connections going on and creating a massive log file, when you get close to the 6 hour point, go to the FSUIPC Logging tab and click "New Log". That'll save the log till then and start a new on. Pete
jstrong123 Posted September 22, 2015 Author Report Posted September 22, 2015 Okay , What I've done is Started a 6hr flight. I've started a new log for FSUIPC to start collecting data to see what happens ( IF anything ). I also turned the AUTO Save feature off in FSUIPC while flying. The flight is set up in a PMDG 777. That's 60 seconds later. Looking through, this failure repeats every 60 seconds. Don't you notice any pauses every 60 seconds? I do get these little pauses every now and then. They may not be 60 seconds apart, but more like 60s - 10min apart with random occurrences. Once the flight has ended, Ill Re-post to this page with the event log of FSUIPC. Hoping there will more for you to have a look at. Ps: My long flight procedure pete: Autopilot: Engaged.... Proceed to walk away: Check HA! Cheers
Pete Dowson Posted September 22, 2015 Report Posted September 22, 2015 I've started a new log for FSUIPC to start collecting data to see what happens ( IF anything ) You should start the new log near the 6 hour point! Pete
jstrong123 Posted September 23, 2015 Author Report Posted September 23, 2015 You should start the new log near the 6 hour point! Pete I did the changes you recommended when it came to using the AUTO safe feature of FSUIPC for PMDG aircraft... and everything went off with out a hitch. My ACARS system did not loose connection with FSX. Also FSUIPC did not vanish from the ADD-ON menu in fsx, and with no small pauses. However, just to be on the safe side. I'm going to do what you said above, at the 6 hour point ill create a new long and re-post to see if you still see a problem. Jagard
