FSUIPC won't load

[Brebta]

Hello,
I have problem with FSUIPC and Prepar3D (version 3.4.9.18400). I installed newest version of FSUIPC (version 4.962). No problem with installation.
However when I launch my P3D, FSUIPC won't load. I cannot see it in Add-ons menu and it doesn't make any log file.

Please, can you help me with this problem? Thank you very much! :)

Can you please enable SimConnect logging (via a SimConnect.INI file in the P3D documents folder -- see the FAQ subforum thread entitled "FSX HELP: Logging SimConnect".

Then find the log produced and show me the first 30 or 40 lines.

Are the other three DLL's being loaded okay?

Just in case it is one of the other Modules you are loading which is somehow stopping FSUIPC being loaded, please also try re-naming the DLL.XML file (as, say, DLL.XMLX) and re-running the FSUIPC Installer so it makes a new one with only FSUIPC loading. This is onlyas a test, of course.

Oh, and please look in the ProgramData P3D folder, where the SCENERY.CFG file it. Check that the DLL.XML you might find there isn't duplicating any of the entries in the AppData one you got the above one from.

This is very interesting. You are right. The other addons did not load properly too. However, the addons from ProgramData P3D folder load properly. So, I copy Launch.Addon FSUIPC from AppData P3D folder and write them into dll ProgramData P3D folder. And it's works!

But, I must ask - why the addons from AppData P3D folder did not load properly?

Thanks

Not a good idea, except as a test. Next time you run FSUIPC installer it will add to the one in the AppData folder, and then there will be a conflict.

There may be something wrong with the DLL.XML file there. I can't see what offhand. Compare the structures of the two files. XML is very finicky, the slightest error can make the whole thing invalid.

Didn't you try renaming and reinstalling FSUIPC, as a test, as I suggested? If that works then there's definitely either something wrong with the original, or one or other of those earlier DLLs being loaded is somehow clobbering the others. The SimConnect log I suggested would help work that out.

Sorry for late answer. I was very busy.

I think that for some reason P3D does not want to load addons from P3D AppData foler. So, it should be OK if you load all addons from ProgramData P3D foler. Isn't it right?
Just in case, I can delete the FSUIPC launch addon command from AppData P3D foler to prevent duplicate conflict.

I alerady try that. But id doesn't works. I don't know why.

Well, I followed the tutorial how to enable SimConnect logging but no log file was created.

You've got something wrong then. It's a built in function in FS and P3D.

What, renaming the DLL.XML?

No, that is wrong. P3D ALWAYS loads DLLs and EXEs from both files.
