FSUIPC4 Log File

[John Mills]

Pete,

Below shows the first few lines of the FSUIPC4 log file generated on my system:

********* FSUIPC4, Version 4.955i (23rd August 2016) by Pete Dowson *********
Running inside Prepar3D v3 on Windows 7
Module base=51E50000
User Name="John Mills"

Previous versions included lines starting as below:

Windows version reported as 
Prepar3D.exe version = 
Reading options from 

A Lua script developer was using the "Reading options from..." line to determine the path of the Modules folder, but as it is missing, the script fails.  Have these lines been removed on purpose or perhaps in error?

Many thanks, John

Hmm. Good question. No, it isn't a deliberate change. I'll have a look ...

... Ah. Seems when I moved one of initialisation functions to make it operate earlier (for some very good reason), I omitted to notice that sending the messages to the log depended upon a certain "Critical Section" (to avoid log file access clashes between threads) the initialisation of which also needed moving earlier! Sorry!

It will be fixed in the next update, hopefully early next week.

Pete,

Thanks for the quick reply, I will inform the developer that the issue will be rectified in the next update.
