RetiredFE Posted August 14, 2019 Report Posted August 14, 2019 I recently updated FSUIPC to the current version and made several changes to a couple of aircraft. Now for some reason I am getting this error message when trying to open FSX:SE. "Flight Simulator has detected a problem with a third party software program (add-on): Name: FSUIPC4 dll: FS new universal IPC interface Version: 4.974 Company: Peter Dowson File: Modules\FSUIPC4.dll It's telling me to delete the program. It also asks if I want to run this software (not recommended). Problem is my airplanes are all tied into FSUIPC, so even if i said no, I doubt that I could fly anyway. I am not going to delete FSUIPC. If I try and start FSX:SE the program crashes immediately. One other comment. I just purchased the Carenado DA 62 yesterday. The first time I tried to fly it after selecting it from the choices of aircraft to fly, FSX:SE crashed. I opened it, and tried it again, everything was normal. Today, I went to fly and this happened. Wondering if these are related in some way?? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Rodger Update: So I decided to uninstall the Carenado DA 62 but I am still getting the same message. So apparently the aircraft is not the problem. So I go back and open FSX:SE, get the message and click the "No" box and not open FSUIPC. Everything worked and as expected I have no flight controls, throttle or anything else.
Pete Dowson Posted August 14, 2019 Report Posted August 14, 2019 36 minutes ago, RetiredFE said: If I try and start FSX:SE the program crashes immediately. Is no FSUIPC4.LOG being produced in the FSX-SE Modules folder? Did you look? if there is one, we need to see it. If not, then please use Windows "Event Viewer" to obtain the details of the crash and provide those instead. We cannot help diagnose problems without information. If the crash was not "immediate" I would say it is likely you have a corrupt weather file -- a .WX file in your Flight simulator Documents folder, or possibly the wxstationlist.bin file in the same folder as your FS-SE settings (the AppData folder). deleting both would help in that case. The reason is that FSUIPC reads weather through Simconnect and a corrupt file causes crashes and other errors. FSUIPC 4.974 has been the current version for FSX, FSX-SE and P3D3 for a long time now. Pete
RetiredFE Posted August 14, 2019 Author Report Posted August 14, 2019 Pete, I got a feeling it's the WX file. I just installed FSrealWSPro a couple of days ago. I'll try deleting those files and if that works, I'm good. If not I'll get the Log file to you. Thanks for your help and quick response. Much appreciated. Rodger
RetiredFE Posted August 14, 2019 Author Report Posted August 14, 2019 Pete, here is a copy of one of the crashes I had. To be honest, not sure if this is what you need. If not please let me know.

RetiredFE Posted August 14, 2019 Author Report Posted August 14, 2019 Pete, I found a log for one of the times I tried to FSX:SE to work. This might be the one when I clicked the "No" box so that FSX:SE would not open FSUIPC. This is the only one I can find. I also found the wstationlist.bin file and deleted it, but it did not work. FSUIPC4.log
Thomas Richter Posted August 14, 2019 Report Posted August 14, 2019 Hi, the attached log file shows that FSUIPC normally closed after FSUIPC was running for 605 seconds (605593 milliseconds or 10 min.). You should have something more recent if FSUIPC started at all.

RetiredFE Posted August 14, 2019 Author Report Posted August 14, 2019 I don't know how that would be possible. It's not starting. It immediately crashes FSX:SE if I elect to run FSUIPC. I haven't had the flight sim open for more than 3-4 minutes today as it keeps crashing before it even opens. The only time I had it open is when I clicked "No" and told FSX:SE not to start FSUIPC. I just confirmed that when it did open all of my flight controls etc, that are controlled by FSUIPC were not working and shut down FSX:SE. Frustrating

I just confirmed that when it did open all of my flight controls etc, that are controlled by FSUIPC were not working and shut down FSX:SE. Frustrating Well the log, which shows a session only yesterday (the 14th) does definitely show that FSX-SE loaded with FSUIPC and did not crash. Everything terminated normally. However, FSUIPC did not progress to the point where it was doing very much. It looks like your default flight (Carenado 690B.FLT) loaded and FSUIPC started reading the weather. How it then managed to proceed to a normal close i can't imagine, but we do know that corrupt weather files can result in corruption inside FSX-SE, and it is probably a result of that. The crash report you showed was merely for " FSUIPC4.dll_unloaded" -- in other words FSUIPC had closed but something in FSX-SE was still trying to call a function in it. You said you deleted the wxstationlist.bin file but nothing about the .WX files which are actually much more likely to be the culprit. It might only be the one associated with your default flight, so try either deleting or renaming Carenado 690B.wx Pete
RetiredFE Posted August 15, 2019 Author Report Posted August 15, 2019 Thanks Pete. I found the Carenado 690B.wx file and deleted it, but I'm still getting the same Error Message. At this point I don't know what more to do other than click the "No" button in order to start FSX:SE which then will not load FSUIPC in the "Addons" drop down menu and go back into FSX and reprogram everything. I just do not want to uninstall FSUIPC. I do remember getting a message at the end of one of my flights before this problem that the FSrealWXPro program did not shut down properly. I wonder if that is the problem?
Thomas Richter Posted August 15, 2019 Report Posted August 15, 2019 Hi to eliminate any weather problem you can add to your FSUIPC4.ini file to the [General] section NoWeatherAtAll=Yes There was also some registry problem in Windows 10 after programs crashed that they were added to as harmful and don't load then anymore. Have a look here Thomas

Have a look here Thomas Thomas, thanks for your help. I have a couple of questions. First, if I go into the FSUIPC4.ini file and enter the NoWeatherAtAll=Yes, I assume that I can't use the program FSrealWXPro in order to get weather. Is that correct? Second, I looked at the page that you gave me and in it when going into the regedit I noticed that the first line is concerning windows NT. Here is the first line on my computer. "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator - Steam Edition\10.0". None of the entries posted in the article are in my regedit. I'm not real good with computers so I'm not sure what to do now. Thanks Rodger

Then I went to start FSX:SE with the same error message. I also rebooted the computer and tried to restart FSX:SE, same error message. Edited August 15, 2019 by RetiredFE More information
RetiredFE Posted August 15, 2019 Author Report Posted August 15, 2019 So I've been searching the internet all over and ran across a post named "FSUIPC 4 will not allow FSX SE to start, here in this forum. To make a long story short, there was a conversation about a line in the FSX SE config file in the [TRUSTED] line. This is what is supposed to be there: " Modules\FSUIPC4.dll.baqwihiwquneutelbzwtuqrrberazbrtleiloeho=1". So I go into my FSX SE config file only to find that, that line does not exist. My question is, should that line exist? I actually went ahead and installed this line, saved it, closed it, and then restarted my computer. After reboot, I started FSX:SE with the same error results.
Thomas Richter Posted August 15, 2019 Report Posted August 15, 2019 Hi, what is the installation Path of FSX and did you run the FSX installer with 'As Administrator' ? Also can you show the FSUIPC install log file. Thomas

Pete Dowson Posted August 15, 2019 Report Posted August 15, 2019 8 hours ago, RetiredFE said: Ok, I did as you said, Does that mean you also tried Thoms's first suggestion, the one to see if FSX-SE ean okay with "NoWeatherAtAll=Yes" set in the [General] section of the FSUIPC4.INI file? This is important to show once and for all whether it is related to weather corruption in some way. Then we know whether to look elsewhere or not! You should also cettainly try testing without that Weather prtogram running in any case. It may be due to something it is asking FSUIPC to do, after all! Pete
Thomas Richter Posted August 15, 2019 Report Posted August 15, 2019 Hi, it's never a good idea to have FSX/ P3D installed in Programs Files folder as Windows always doesn't like programs to write to files (INI / CFG files) in that location. I would run the latest FSUIPC4.974_Installer again as Administrator (right click on it), rename your FSUIPC4.ini file to i.e. FSUIPC4_org.ini. Delete also the FSUIPC4.log file to make sure you have only a new one existing. Check the FSC.cfg that the flight that will be loaded is one with a default AC. Then start FSX and if it ask to run FSUIPC4.dll press OK/Yes. Also I would check the DLL.XML and don't load other programs than FSUIPC4 to find may the problem twith other programs running. Thomas

I don't know how you've done it, but you appear to have a lost or corrupted SimConnect install. You need to re-run the SimConnect installer. That will be an .msi file in the "Core Utilities" part of the FSX SDK. You must have had that somewhere if you started with FSX-SE. If you originally had FSX installed it would have installed with that. Pete

John Dowson Posted January 4, 2021 Report Posted January 4, 2021 @Ardriax I don't understand what you posted, and why are you hijacking a problem that doesn't seem to be related to your issue? Can you at least attach your installation log and you FSUIPC4.log file (if there is one), and explain what you mean by 'wont load the fsuipc even in admin mode'. Do you mean that you cannot see FSUIPC in the add-ons menu? Does FSX (or FSX-SE - I don't even know which sim you are using!) run or does it crash? You also seem to be using an old unsupported version of FSUIPC4. Please update to the latest version 4.975 (or 4.975a) before posting again. John
