pluckas Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Apologies if this has been covered before. I've been using the advanced feature of FSUIPC to run (and close) additional programs together with a delay for one application in particular that needs it (I've also discovered that I can specify "Delay = 20" at the end of the [Programs] section to increase the default 10 second delay - very handy). I wonder if it is possible to specify individual delays for each program that needs it. I occasionally see programs get tangled as they all start at the same time. Many thanks.

I see its not documented and didn't know about this! I'll check and update the documentation. 3 hours ago, pluckas said: I wonder if it is possible to specify individual delays for each program that needs it Not possible at the moment I'm afraid. I could make the DELAY option take a parameter (i.e. DELAY=<n>) in the Run/RunIf options. However, we're pretty busy at the moment and it will take a while fo me to get around to this. I've flagged this and will look into it when time permits. Cheers, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluckas Posted May 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Accidentally. I can't even remember what prompted me. The software for my FDS CDU needs to wait for the PMDG to fully load (~20 seconds) before it will connect properly, so I think I just tried it based on a hunch. I think a delay parameter would be useful with the plethora of temperamental additional programs that some of us home cockpit hacks are running. Not a show stopper though - thanks for considering.

John Dowson Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 @pluckasHi Paul, I have added an optional parameter to the DELAY option, so you can use DELAY=<n> where <n> is an integer between 1 and 60. When the parameter is not present, the default will be used. Could you try the following dll please: FSUIPC6.dll Thanks, John P.S. If you are using FSUIPC5, let me know and I'll update and post that. Not possible now for earlier versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
