Either your ASN is out of date, or the order of its entry in the DLL.XML file is wrong. It should come AFTER FSUIPC4's, apparently. Usually ASN warns you about that, corrects it automatically, and tells you to restart FS. Pete
DavyC Posted March 8, 2016 Author Report Posted March 8, 2016 Pete Appreciate your help. I double checked but FSUIPC is higher up the DLL file than ASN. ASN is just a new install and I haven't had it running on these tests as it is on another pc. I changed the name of the two dll files SIM1 and Visualfx to .old files and ran the p3d repair function, which created new files - no difference. I have uninstalled and re-installed FSUIPC as this is the easy option. I have noted that the crashes only happen when I select an airport in Europe. I am reluctant to uninstall P3D as I have spent 3-4 weeks building up my software and systems on a new pc I think the best option is to uninstall and re-install V3.2 Thanks again for your help it is appreciated.

Pete Dowson Posted March 8, 2016 Report Posted March 8, 2016 I have noted that the crashes only happen when I select an airport in Europe. I think the best option is to uninstall and re-install V3.2 Yes, probably. But you might also want to check what scenery files you have which encompass Europe, or at least the airports you've tried and had this problem with. FSUIPC has no idea and does not care at all where your airport is, there is nothing in FSUIPC which is dependent in any way on location. If it still happens after reinstalling 3.2 I would proceed on a series of eliminations of the assorted scenery layers you have added, starting with any which is handling an area inclding those airports, like a UTX or Orbx terrain or LandClass layer.

DavyC Posted March 9, 2016 Author Report Posted March 9, 2016 Hi Still stumped I have uninstalled v3.1 and installed v3.2 - same errors. I have EZDok Orbx Global Orbx Vectors UK2000 Gatwick, Leeds and Cardiff ASN Virtual Avionics I unloaded Ezdok - no change I uninstalled Orbx no I uninstalled UK2000 no change I uninstall ASN I changed the dll.xml file no change I deleted cfg files and rebuilt - no change I have found that the FSUIPC does not appear in the menu unless the loader dll file is in the modules folder I think it is a sim connect issue. I have P3D sim connect 3.2 and 4 versions of Microsoft installed including a Microsoft ESP ver 1.xxxx I have tried different settings with these present and missing but no change When the loader dll file is not in the modules folder no crashing but no FSUIPC The airports are very hit and miss but does not like any UK airport default or otherwise. Going to bed spent 8 hours plus today at this - head swimming it will be something simple I hope when I get home from work tomorrow. Thanks DC
Pete Dowson Posted March 9, 2016 Report Posted March 9, 2016 I have found that the FSUIPC does not appear in the menu unless the loader dll file is in the modules folder Hmm, that's a pretty serious problem. The loader should never be needed. It's a last desperate attempt to get around some timing compatibility problems with other SimConnect loading DLLs or EXEs. Is this also true when there is nothing else loading in the DLL.XML, and no EXE.XML? Have you tried that? If not, please do and let me know. Try it without the Loader. Easiest way to do this test is rename the EXE.DLL and DLL.XML and remove the loader from the Modules folder, then re-run the FSUIPC installer. No need to reregister, that won't get lost. I think it is a sim connect issue. I have P3D sim connect 3.2 and 4 versions of Microsoft installed including a Microsoft ESP ver 1.xxxx I have tried different settings with these present and missing but no change The different SimConnect DLLs are just interfaces with differing functions translated into calls to the real functions which are within the main code in P3D. It doesn't matter which one gets used, it just may affect the facilities available if it's an old one. FSUIPC only uses a subset in any case, and its subset are translated by the SimConnectP3D2.DLL which gets installed in your Modules folder. Looking back at the Log you posted earlier, you'll see this line: 1829 Running in "Lockheed Martin® Prepar3D® v3", Version: 3.1.3.1 (SimConnect: 3.1.0.0) The SimConnect version shown is always the one being used -- the information in this line is that returned by the call to SimConnect to open the link. The airports are very hit and miss but does not like any UK airport default or otherwise. That is extremely odd. There is no way FSUIPC is involved in that. It seems something which provides data for the whole of the UK is corrupt -- maybe some of the base files being loaded via the SCENERY.CFG file? Pete
DavyC Posted March 11, 2016 Author Report Posted March 11, 2016 Pete Sorry I deleted and uninstalled everything. Added a new SSD drive and installed everything onto it. Works a treat now.. so don't know what caused the problem. I have discovered that soon before this started to happen I installed one of my old UK2000 airport scenery and used an FSX version by mistake. This created an entry in the registry that pointed FSX to the PSD v3 folder, I never had FSX on this pc - I really have no idea if that caused the problem but it is gone in any case... Once again thanks for taking the time to answer my problems Davy C
