FSUIPC Crashing and disappearing out of Addons list.

[Wimma]

Hello Pete,

 

I have a pretty weird problem with the licensed FSUIPC 5 and v4. after an hour or so, sometimes a bit more than that, FSUIPC crashes randomly and disapperars out of the in sim addon list in the menu bar. After restarting the sim it is their again until it crashes again one hour later. The sim does not crash during this procedure. Well at least not everytime. it sometimes does. Because of the fact that autosave is working its not really toooo much of a problem. at least when im at home. but it is still annoying as hell. I tried reinstalling FSUIPC but it did not work. hopefully you know a solution for this problem.

 

Greetings, Michael!

Hi,

please copy and paste the full content of the FSUIPC5.log file after the session has been closed, ideally of course a session when the 'crash' happend.

Hi,

all FSUIPC stuff included the module (DLL) itself is located in ..\Prepar3D v4\Modules\

So just find your FS (P3Dv4) installation folder and check in subfolder Modules

I have been here before when i searched for it but i could not find the .log file in here.

 

in the Modules folder is only:

 

FSUIPC5 Install
FSUIPC5 .DLL
FSUIPC5
FSUIPC5.joyscan
FSUIPC5.key
FSUIPC5

Oh dear.

If you followed the User Guide inbstructions to tell Windows to stop hiding the file types from you, it would be obvious!

The "FSUIPC5 Install" is actually "FSUIPC Install.log".
One of the "FSUIPC5" files is "FSUIPC5.log" and the other "FSUIPC5.ini" (the latter contains all your FSUIPC settings).
The "FSUIPC5.JoyScan" file is "FSUIPC5.JoyScan.csv".

Unless you turn off that stupidly annoying Windows folder option yo will have continuing difficulties finding needed files.

I am terribly sorry for making those mistakes. I really am.

 

So it is this one then.

See my previous reply.

I think your prtoblem is to do with using the PMDG 777 plus FSUIPC's AutoSave. When a flight is saved the PMDG complex aircraft effectivrely freeze the computer for seconds whilst they gather cockpit information to save. 

You either need to stop using AutoSave in FSUIPC with PMDG aircraft, or possibly (and this isn't guaranteed to work) extend the "SimConnectStallTime" in the FSUIPC5.INI fie. The number there is in seconds, ranging 1 to 20.

Since Autosaving when using such aircraft will create disjointed flights (bad hesitations), I would recommend you just stop using Autosave -- do flight saving manually before any crucial stages of flight, like approach.

Incidentally, you are still using the original version of FSUIPC5. It has been updated many times since then. You should update to 5.101m, available in the Download Links subforum.

Pete

Ok. well as I said I am sorry for that mistake i made.

 

I have to say you support is spot on and extremely fast, you guys are doing a fantastic job. I will turn autosave of and save manually as suggested. Thanks for everything.

 

Greeting to both of you from Austria,

Hi,
I am just curious with the updated FSUIPC5 are you still having issues with autosave feature with PMDG T7 aircraft in P3D V4 or is the manual saving works best ?

Hi,

you got that very wrong here. There is neither a problem with AutoSave function in FSUIPC4 nor in FSUIPC5, both work perfect correct. The problem is using FSUIPC's AutoSave function when having an PMDG aircraft selected, maybe other Add-on aircrafts are effected as well but PMDG's are best known for that, then a big amount of data is saved by PMDG that might take up to 10 seconds and freezes for that time the FS/P3D completely. The amount of data and which date is controlled by PMDG only and the function that saves it is build into FS/P3D, where FSUIPC4 / FSUIPC5 just calls that function to execute. FSUIPC is NOT involved in what data is saved and can also not change that.

You can call that function manually yourself in FS/P3D direct defined, i.e. in P3Dv4 Save Scenario, to a key or button. You will find that you get the same effect, FS/P3D freezes for 5 to seconds completely.

Because of that 'Saving Problem', the big amount of date that is saved, you shouldn't use the FSUIPC AutoSave function when flying a i.e. a PMDG aircraft. For any other aircraft, default or Add-on, that doesn't save that big amount of date the AutoSave function doesn't effect the joy of flying at all because the saving takes only a fraction of a second.

This is well described in the FSUIPC manuals, located in folder ..\Modules\Documents\
