Using FSUIPC to run programs

[kriggelb]

Hello Pete,

I'm really enjoying the function of FSUIPC to start programs automatically when starting FSX. Thanks a lot for that!

I've just a little question regarding this feature:

Does it cause issues with FSUIPC (like a hanging interface or something) when closing programs manually after starting them through FSUIPC?

For example I use the following lines:

...

Run3=CLOSE,"C:\Program Files (x86)\NaturalPoint\TrackIR5\TrackIR5.exe"
Run4=CLOSE,"C:\Program Files (x86)\HiFi\AS16_FSX\AS16.exe"
Run5=CLOSE,"C:\Aerosoft\Professional Flight Planner X\PFPX.exe"

...

And sometimes I want to quit TrackIR or PFPX manually because they are not needed anymore while FSX is still running. Could this interfer with the command lines in the FSUIPC.ini?

Greetings,

Chris

No. FSUIPC won't care if an external process it started is closed by you or even on its own, as some do in any case.
