Hehehehe, some things never change 😉 I keep hearing about simconnect being libbed into FSUIPC7 but you can’t run this exe without it. So the version Of FSUIPC7 which I have must be older.

I would download again, as Pete Dawson updated the file to no longer need the simconnect.dll. Save the .key file, the delete the FSUIPC folder and unzip the newly downloaded version. Copy the backed up .key file ack into the folder, overwriting the existing one.Then you no longer need to add the simconnnect.dll file. But FSUIPC still uses simconnect to communicate with the sim, so the FPS drop is still and issue, till MS/Asobo fixes simconnect. I hope that helps Edited August 25, 2020 by madfredc2 update info, added instructions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan1el Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 Hello everybody, please excuse the question, but are the problems with the FPS break-ins solved with the current version of FSUIPC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, as its an issue with SimConnect, not FSUIPC. We're awaiting a patch to the sim/SDK from Asobo/MSFS to resolve this issue. They are releasing information tomorrow about upcoming patches - hopefully this will be addressed and we'll know more then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOldMan Posted August 27, 2020 Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 Hi John and Pete, first of all, let me thank you guys for all your hard work. It is appreciated as i've been using your software for a long time now. yes the paid version. and i plan on using it for a long time to come. my only issue is below... im a little confused by all this talk about simconnect causing the fps drops. My simconnect isn't causing any drops at all, i can connect acars to my sim using simconnect and do VA flights no issue. as soon as i try to connect it using fsuipc7 (latest Version) my frames drop from 60-100 down to 10-20 and if fsuipc doesnt need to use simconnect now, why am i still getting fps drops? from where i sit, simconnect isn't an issue.

Your ACARS is probably just sipping droplets of data via the 32-bit SimConnect compared to all the things FSUIPC has to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course FSUIPC uses SimConnect. It just doesn't need the SimConnect.dll any more as it is now compiled against the static SimConnect.lib file.

GrumpyOldMan Posted August 27, 2020 Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 ahh, now that makes sense. no wonder i was getting confused. i was confusing simconnect.dll with simconnect in general. thank you for clearing that up for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope that the problem will be solved as soon as possible. I had bought the AddOn "A Pilot's Life" and wanted to use it in connection with FSUIPC, but due to the FPS breakdowns this is not possible. Thanks in any case for your work.
