FSUIPC4.dll crashes P3Dv3

[nick_m42]

Hi,

 

I've just installed FSUIPC4 and it installed successfully into FSX and p3dv3, but when I start p3d it crashes while starting up with fatal error. when I delete the FSUIPC files from modules, p3d starts fine. 

 

here is the windows error log from event viewer,

I've just installed FSUIPC4 and it installed successfully into FSX and p3dv3, but when I start p3d it crashes while starting up with fatal error. when I delete the FSUIPC files from modules, p3d starts fine. 

 

The crash is happening because although the main P3D exe program appears to be the correct, the modules which FSUIPC needs to hook into are not the versions which should be installed with P3D. This shows the results of it attempting to hook into P3D:

 

      484 ------ Setting the hooks and direct calls into the simulator ------
      484 Failed to find CONTROLS timer memory location!
      484 ### Failed to obtain SIM1 Frictions access: no frictions facilities available!
      484     Reason 6: SIM1 base=77C00000
      484     FrictionAddr=77C30108 contains 100FF200
      484     BrakingAddr=77C313C8 contains 8B088B5E
      484 Hook Error: can't find .37 in SIM1.dll
      484 Hook Error: can't find .37 in VISUALFX.dll

I don't understand how your installation can be so different. There are lots of folks using FSUIPC quite happily with P3Dv3. Here's part of a normal FSUIPC loading log:for P3Dv3:

     1857 ------ Setting the hooks and direct calls into the simulator ------
     1857 --- CONTROLS timer memory location obtained ok
     1857 --- SIM1 Frictions access gained and basic values patched
     1857 --- FS Controls Table located ok
     1857 --- Installed Mouse Macro hooks ok.
     1857 --- Wind smoothing fix is installed
     1857 --- SimConnect intercept for texts and menus installed ok
     1857 --- All links okay (except older global weather setting method)

I'll see if I can add some extra logging, before the hooks are attempted, to provide the details of the P3D DLL modules it needs to be correct.

 

Meanwhile, perhaps you could check one or two yourself? Go to the main P3Dv3 fold and find these modules:

 

ACONTAIN.DLL

API.DLL

CONTROLS.DLL

FS-TRAFFIC.DLL

SIM1.DLL

VISUALFX.DLL

WEATHER.DLL

WINDOW.DLL

 

Right-click on each and select Properties. Then "Details". Check that they are all shown with File Version 3.0.10.14945.

Hi Pete,

 

thanks for replying so quickly. I forgot to mention I changed the product version of prepar3d.exe with resource hacker while trying to get fsinn working. I changed it to 10,0,61637,0, but it didn't work so I changed it back to 1,3,3708,0 which was given to me on the forum thread, but it might well have been incorrect as it was from 2012 and I didn't have a copy of the original. If you have the original product version for v3 it would be good to know.  

 

I checked the .dll's you gave me and they were all fine, showing file Version 3.0.10.14945.

 

thanks for your help,

 

Nick

Ouch! This would make FSUIPC act as if the FS version it was running inside was something completely different (P3D version 1.3, which it doesn't even support nowadays!). No wonder it crashed!

 

I checked the .dll's you gave me and they were all fine, showing file Version 3.0.10.14945.

 

Okay, and that's the same version for the proper Prepar3D.exe version 3!

 

In the next update of FSUIPC I'm logging these things. Here's an example for a properly installed and unmolested P3Dv3:

 

********* FSUIPC4, Version 4.948a by Pete Dowson *********
Prepar3D.exe version = 3.0.10.14945

...  (other lines, omitted here)

      795 ------ Module Version Check ------
      795        acontain.dll: 3.0.10.14945
      795             api.dll: 3.0.10.14945
      795        controls.dll: 3.0.10.14945
      795      fs-traffic.dll: 3.0.10.14945
      795             G3D.dll: 3.0.10.14945
      795            sim1.dll: 3.0.10.14945
      795        visualfx.dll: 3.0.10.14945
      795         weather.dll: 3.0.10.14945
      795          window.dll: 3.0.10.14945
      795 ----------------------------------

At least, this way, I'll spot such odd things like yours right away!

Hi Pete,

 

That worked, thanks for sorting it out.
