Hi Pete,

This is a "small-potatoes" report, and doesn't appear to actually affect any functionality at all, but just in case there is more going on behind the scenes I thought I should let you know.  After updating FSUIPC4 to ver 4.971b, the following notation began appearing in the FSUIPC4.LOG:  (In RED)

********* FSUIPC Log file closed ***********

The kicker is, per monitoring the file names in C:\Users\DBT\Documents\Flight Simulator X Files, the *.PLN file actually is *not* renamed to *.PLN.PLN, and this notice did not affect the loading of the *.PLN in the sim or FMS, so it appears to be just a type of aberrant notice, without any adverse effects in functionality. The PLN file is created by Opus FSI, which I've used for a couple years (beginning with Opus FSX) to generate the FSX flight plans.

Just to check myself, I replace the FSUIPC4.dll with ver 4.971 and ran the same startup with the same flight plan, and you can see the notice is not present:

This is just feedback, it doesn't appear to have any functional impact at all at this time.

Thanks for all your hard work, you're amazing!

    44585 *** NOTE! Flight plan string needed proper '.PLN' adding!
    44585 C:\Users\DBT\Documents\Flight Simulator X Files\KMSO_KSUN.PLN.PLN

  

Strange. The .PLN is only supposed to be added when SimConnect supplies the filename without.

Is this a plan being loaded by the flight file? If so please show me or attach the FLT file (C:\Users\DBT\Documents\Flight Simulator X Files\FSX Startup for Complex Aircraft.FLT).

Or are you loading it explicitly?

The kicker is, per monitoring the file names in C:\Users\DBT\Documents\Flight Simulator X Files, the *.PLN file actually is *not* renamed to *.PLN.PLN, and this notice did not affect the loading of the *.PLN in the sim or FMS, so it appears to be just a type of aberrant notice, without any adverse effects in functionality. The PLN file is created by Opus FSI, which I've used for a couple years (beginning with Opus FSX) to generate the FSX flight plans.

Just to check myself, I replace the FSUIPC4.dll with ver 4.971 and ran the same startup with the same flight plan, and you can see the notice is not present:

It doesn't rename any files, it is a correction to a bug in SimConnect for the facility which provides FSUIPC (and other interested parties, like ActiveSky) a copy of the flight plan path when on is loaded.  FSUIPC only uses it to populate an offset so other applications can use it. ActiveSky uses it to tailor its weather updates better for your planned route.

It was added as a result of reports of this weird SimConnect bug which i think was to do with plan files with an extra "." in them. Please see this thread:

I'll check here to see how .PLN.PLN can arise. Maybe the original didn't actually end correctly as ".PLN" and so FSUIPC added the cirre ending. i'll make sure it checks properly for an existing .PLN earlier, if that is the case.

Hi Pete,

Prior to starting FSX, I setup my flight plan in Opus FSI, then select Export PLN Flight Plan to C:\Users\DBT\Documents\Flight Simulator X Files.  I start FSX, which automatically loads the FLT file located as C:\Users\DBT\Documents\Flight Simulator X Files\FSX Startup for Complex Aircraft.FLT .  From the Free Flight screen I'll select the aircraft, modify the fuel load, select the departure location, manually load the flight plan into FSX, set the time, and then Fly Now.  Once the flight is started at the gate/ramp, I manually start TrackIR, and lastly manually start Opus FSI.

I've attached the FSX Startup for Complex Aircraft.FLT (which is supplied by Flight1 as a default flight to clear any previous flight data that may be residual)

Were it not for the notice generated, I would not know anything was unusual, as everything appears to operate just fine.   Like I said, this really is not a big deal to me, I just wanted to let you know just in case it was indicative of something else that could crop up down the line.

Thanks!

Don

Ah, so the FLT file isn't relevant. That was only needed it it loaded the flight plan for you, as happens if, for example, you save a flight when the plan is loaded.

In that case i'm rather puzzled. i'm away now till Weds 15th Nov, but I've made a note of this and will do some further hecks when i get back.

It isn't a big deal at all unless an FSUIPC application uses the plan path for something.

Ahhh yes!  Good point!
