Hi Pete and guys,

 

I'm having the infamous crash upon exiting P3d, and if I remove the Fsuipc.dll entry on DLL.XML (disabling Fsuipc) it shutdowns correctly.

Any thoughts on that?

Here's the log:

I'm having the infamous crash upon exiting P3d,

Which "infamous" crash is that? Where are the crash details, please?

Are you sure it is FSUIPC? Perhaps it is something related to LINDA which I see you are running too.  (I'm not sure why LINDA is logging so much -- is that a LINDA option?)

If this line truly is the last line logged before the crash

230516 === DLLStop called ...

then it isn't a "crash on exit" I've seen before. The original one and most common one is a SimConnect closing bug. Currently FSUIPC avoids that by simply not calling SimConnect close.

With "LogExtras=4" (or 5) set, as you have, the normally seen sequence of closing actions on termination is this:

   393388 === DLLStop called ...
   393388 === About to kill my timers ...
   393591 === Restoring window procs ...
   393591 === Unloading libraries ...
   393591 === stopping other threads ...
   396212 === NOTE: not calling SimConnect_Close ...
   396212 === AI slots deleted!
   396212 === Freeing button memory ...
   396212 === Closing my Windows ...
   396212 === Freeing FS libraries ...
   397226 === Closing devices ...
   397226 === Closing the Log ... Bye Bye! ...
   397226 System time = 26/08/2016 09:25:48, Simulator time = 12:24:48 (12:24Z)
   397226 *** FSUIPC log file being closed


The highlighted line is the point where the "infamous" crash occurs if I allow FSUIPC to call SimConnect close. I have of course reported this to L-M, but it isn't easily reproducible, despite being "infamous" for some folks.

A crash between these two lines:

   393388 === DLLStop called ...
   393388 === About to kill my timers ...

can only be related either to the forced terminations of programs being run (via entries in [Programs]) or the forced termination of Lua plug-ins and any associated External programs started by those plug-ins. Again, this points to LINDA or one of its offshoots.

I'll try changing the order of terminations (plug-ins then programs they started then "Run" programs, instead of the reverse as now), but really iyt shouldn't matter which order they run in.

FSUIPC does notify Lua plug-ins that things are terminating, and then allows 1 second for them to tidy up and close. I know LINDA has grown and become quite complex, so perhaps it needs longer? I will add a parameter to allow that timer to be changed, say 1-20 seconds? I don't want to increase it by default because P3D seems to take long enough to close down properly as it is.

Sorry, I meant FAMOUS ... because many people have this crash on exit, as I've searched on the net. Sorry for the language confusion.

I'll try to terminate other programs, and not using Linda to see what happens.

 

Thanks

Hi Pete!

I traced down every plugin, every program, one by one, to find out that Linda is what is causing this to happen, just like you mentioned. If I remove all *.lua, and don't see the LUA initial message box upon P3d launch, it means I'm not getting the crash. 

If I copy back the Ipcready.lua and linda.lua, I get the crash again.

Any idea how to correct this? I only use LINDA for some A2A and PMDG specific key assignments, I'm ok without it if not flying these birds.

Thanks again,

Rafael

I'm sorry but I don't use LINDA and know little about it. didn't you find the crash details, which might help/

By all means try the next FSUIPC update, where I've changed the close down order, but it might be worthwhile also asking in the LINDA forum.

I think I have the latest version already

I actually said the "next version". You don't yet have the next version!  I hope to release the next version in the next week!
