John got it saving flights okay, using the SimConnect facility for this, but the Flights SimConnect saves don't appear to be reloadable at present. They seem type be missing too much and are simply shunned by the load option. Mind you, this was the case last time i tested. Best to test again -- which I will do, but probably after not till the expected update (this week?). Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDLinn Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) I think I'm having the same problem I have FSUIPC 7 installed, and I have the Autosave checked. It created a file called "AUTOSAVE WED 143052.FLT". To test it, I tried the save/load function in FS2020 and attempted to load it. It brings up the page for selecting the plan (departure/destinations). and the "FLY" is down in the lower right corner, but the whole page seems sort of grayed out and nothing happens. I was thrilled just to see the AUTOSAVE where it should of been, thought I was home free, but can't get it to load. Any suggestions? Doug UPDATED: Pete, I see another thread on this so I'll watch for the answer there, you are saying Asobo is "aware" of the problem . . .

And yes, Asobo is aware of this issue, and there isn't much that can be done about this at the moment. I am thinking of disabling the 'load' options for the time being, just to prevent people using this and then suffering the consequences....

John, the problem is not in FSUIPC's facility to load flights or plans, thought that is certainly still true as far as I know. it is the fact that the plans saved by AutoSave aren't usable. MSFS won't load them, irrespective of how you try. It doesn't complain, it just does nothing. The Autosaved flights are of no use at present. I did say I tried comparing one with a regular saved one but whilst there are lots of differences I couldn't pin-point anything easily. I guess whatever is missing could be determined by lots of trial and error, but as we can't fix it ourselves I saw no point. If anything in FSUIPC needs disabling, it's the AutoSave facility as it disappoints folks thinking they have a way of recovering after a crash only to find it doesn't work.

Steku2 Posted November 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2020 Any updates on FSUIPC 7 ability to autosave in MFS2020? And the MFS2020 ability to load the autosaved files? If this is working, where to look for the autosaved files (Steam edition)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dowson Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 I haven't yet checked this in the latest SDK release (will do this later), but I think there are still issues with the SimConnect flight load/save functions. 11 hours ago, Steku2 said: where to look for the autosaved files (Steam edition)? If you use the FUIPC7 File -> Load Flight... menu option, this will open a file selection dialog on the default location for autosave files (all editions).

John Dowson Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 Just checked and its still not working. You cannot load flight files saved by FSUIPC (in MSFS or FSUIPC), and you cannot load flight files saved directly by MSFS with FSUIPC, but you can load flight files saved by MSFS in MSFS. Basically the simconnect flight save/load functions are still broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhkaye Posted December 26, 2020 Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 As of Saturday, December 26, the autosave feature of FSUIP7 is still not working! Hope this can be resolved soon because I am having a lot of Crash to Desktop issues. Can save a flight manually and FS2020 can load it, but the flight plan does not appear to be saved.

Hope this can be resolved soon We're entirely dependent i=on Asobo/MS fixing SimConnect. You need to add your voice to ours with Asobo/Microsoft, or report the deficiencies of the SimConnect load/save flight facilities via Zendesk.

jhkaye Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 Thank you Pete for your reply. I can save my flight at frequent intervals in FS2020, which sort of works. Sometimes my flight plan is saved and sometimes not. The autopilot seems to always be off but I can usually turn it back on and continue. I will continue to bring this up with Asobo/Microsoft.

DEBONNE Bruno Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 Good morning all If I understood correctly, the AUTOSAVE function of FSUIPC7 cannot currently work, as long as ASOBO has not updated MSFS I don't understand English well, but that's the feeling I get from reading the posts on this subject Please tell me if this is the correct answer to my question "can we make regular backups during a flight under MSFS Thank you all for your responses Sincerely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are issues with the flight files saved when using simconnect, so FSUIPC's auto-save files cannot currently be used until Asobo fix this issue. You can use the MSFS menus to save/load flights.

This was reported as working a couple of weeks ago, after the last but one update. I haven't tried it with the latest version but should be ok - why don't you just try it (and report back!).
