FSUIPC Error #9

[zzdreamer]

Hi I recently downloaded the Traffic Optimizer for P3D and am having a FSUIPC Error #9 problem. Tried all day yesterday to sort it out with no luck :(. This morning I installed FSX to see if it would work there and it is. no problems at all but still not working in P3D v3 :(.

 

This is the error i'm getting

 

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

any help would be much appreciated as I just don't seem to be able to sort it out. Thank you.

The error is not from FSUIPC, it is from the program trying to connect to FSUIPC. it appears to simply report that it cannot conmnnect. I've no idea what the rest is about, but possibly it's a consequence of the failure to connect to FSUIPC.

 

If you are running P3D or that program "as administrator" then both need to be -- programs at different priority levels cannot talk to each other by memory sharing, which is what the FSUIPC interface uses.

 

Otherwise, to see why it cannot connect we need first to see the log from FSUIPC -- FSUIPC4.LOG which you'll find in the P3D Modules folder.  Make sure you close P3D first, and show the whole log file here please. Do not change any options for now, and do not press "New Log" in FSUIPC's logging tab.

 

If it appears that FSUIPC is loading and running fine, then you'll need support form the author of the program which is failing.

Hi Pete, Thanks for getting back to me. I don't have a log in that folder, got a few other things but no log.

Thank you

Hi Pete, Thanks for getting back to me. I don't have a log in that folder, got a few other things but no log.

 

If there's no log then FSUIPC has never actually run!!!

 

What is that "FSUIPC4.txt" file?  I think you are probably misunderstanding the way Windows shows you files. If it thinks it's a text file it is probably the Log.

 

Similarly, FSUIPC has NEVER had an "FSUIPC4.cfg" file. That is probably the FSUIPC4.INI file. I think you are inventing the filetypes based on the Windows file description, not basing it on reality.

 

Please change the Windows Explorer to show you real filenames, not hiding known filetypes, as advised in the FSUIPC4 User Guide! Once upon a time Windows didn't do these silly things!

ok this is what's in the log sorry about that :)

pete should this be v3 ?    SimConnectP3D2.dll

That looks fine. FSUIPC is working well. There is no reason (excepting the possible different in priority I pointed out) why the program could not connect to FSUIPC.

 

So, sorry, you need to talk to whoever supplied / built the program which is giving the error.

 

pete should this be v3 ?    SimConnectP3D2.dll

 

 

No.  Changes weren't needed in that module, so it's the same for P3Dv2 and v3.

Thanks for your time Pete, will now wait for a reply over at avsim :)
