So I switched to P3D in mabye september and I can't get FSUIPC to work in a bit larger airports. If I just launch the default P3D Scenario it loads fine. I can then switch to the Aerosoft Airbus fine. And I can switch to any smaller airports. But when I try to change to Kastrup EKCH it freezes after 5-10 seconds and crashes. The log claims that it shuts down the sim because of low FPS but the FPS is fine. Haven't found any fix other then removing FSUIPC. P3D runs fine on any airport as long as I don't have FSUIPC installed.

In the log below I loaded the default scenario, and after letting it sit for a minute or so I switched to EKCH and it freezes as soon as it has finished loading.

What LOG claims that? Nothing I know will shut the sim down just because frame rates are low. That's ridiculous!

Perhaps you mean VAS is low (memory). That's the most likely thing if it is only happening at large airports.

I meant this line at the bottom of the fsuipc4.log "106844 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 33 secs = 33.4 fps"

Shouldn't be a memory issue. I can fly fine around big airports and long flights - as long as I don't have FSUIPC installed :/ Been looking a lot but haven't found anyone with the same problem

That just means SimConnect signalled a pause in simulation like when you go into a menu or load a flight. You went to a different location. It's only FSUIPC's way of giving you average performace for the last running period.

Possibly it's a corrupted weather entry in either wxstationlist.bin or in the currently loaded wx file. Those are binary files which are read without any checking (by the sim itself, not by FSUIPC) so when corrupted can cause such problems.  It only happens with FSUIPC because FSUIPC regularly gets weather data from SimConnect.

You provided no crash data. Don't you think that might give a clue? Use the Windows Event viewer to find the crash data. It will show which module crashed and what sort of error it was.

In order to prove it is this problem you can stop FSUIPC asking for the weather by having "NoWeatherAtAll=Yes" in the [general] section of the FSUIPC4.INI file.

Yeah I read about the issue someone else had with the weater file last year when I first came upon this problem. I believe in his case deleting the file and letting it create a new one fixed it. I did not fix it for me. I tried changing in FSUIPC to remove all weather or whatever it says, no change. 

Yeah sorry, forgot. The following three logs are from my attempts these past 2 hours. Had trouble getting a log because most of the time it doesn't give me "P3D.exe has stopped working", it just froze then closed and then I didn't get a log file.

I've never seen an error reported in P3D's "Menus.DLL". FSUIPC really has nothing whatoever to do with menus.  I think you must have some sort of corruption in P3D which involves addressing memory which may just be in a different place, and not crash, when FSUIPC is not loaded.

The error is "String binding invalid" which is associated with Managed code. Are you running any add-ins which use manage code as far as you know? what other add-ins apart from FSUIPC (which uses no high-level or managed stuff itself) are you running. With a crash in Menus is seems possible that it is one which adds or changes menus, almost certainly the Add-Ons one.

As well as corrupted modules or an error in one of the add-ins, actual memory hardware could be responsible, so if stopping the other add-ins and, if there's still a problem, uninstalling and re-installing P3D (just the Client should do, so not destroying anything else you installed) doesn't solve it, get some memory test on your RAM.

Yeah indeed the Menu was new for me too, had never showed up earlier, I think that one was just a coincidence. I'm not sure but I think when this problem showed up when I got P3D I did a few reinstalls without any success. I'm not sure what 'managed code' means.

Well I've gotten the crashes with default aircraft with really only some ORBX Scenary active.

2 More tries with crashes but without getting the "P3D.exe has stopped working" only produced the following. Everything I use is up-to-date btw.

Okey I give up then, I have absolutely no idea what it could be since everything has been reinstalled except windows. I appreciate your support though, thanks.

Might have been better to reinstall Windows first. could be a registry problem.

Hi,

just as a side note, since P3Dv3 Hotfix 2 you need .Net Framework 4.6.2 installed, where your error shows an error in .Net Framework 4.0... and your installed P3D version is the latest v3.4 with Hotfix 3. Do you have the from LM minimum requested .Net Framework installed?

PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU MUST HAVE MICROSOFT .NET FRAMEWORK 4.6.2 INSTALLED TO UPDATE TO HOTFIX 2

PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU MUST HAVE MICROSOFT .NET FRAMEWORK 4.6.2 INSTALLED TO UPDATE TO HOTFIX 3

I did download the latest framework yesterday when I found that error, but I already had 4.6.2 installed - even though the error is complaining about 4.0

Edit. Did another complete reinstall for other reasons, and seems to be working now - though I have not installed all add-ons yet.

Add add-ons one by one and always test between. Best to start with FSUIPC anyway, as it might be interaction with that. It takes longer to find the culprit if you add them all in one go, then have to take them out one by one.
