Disappears but still there

[lawndartleo]

Apologies for the question if its been answered but my cursory search came up dry.

FSUIPC 7 started, FS started, use FSUIPC at some point, go back to sim, FSUIPC disappears (no tray, no task bar), restart FSUIPC.... warning FSUIPC already running.

Its not a show stopper because the interface comes back but is there a way to prevent the vanishing act?

You issue sounds similar to this:

What do you mean by this?

If you try to run FSUIPC7 and its already running, it will show the existing running one. Is this what is happening? Note that it does not appear in the tray when open/shown, only in the task bar, but you say its not there which is strange.

Maybe you can test by keeping the FSUIPC7 main window visible when you go back to the sim, and try and note when it disappears (if it does!).

From time to time the interface for FSUIPC will completely disappear, not minimized but gone.  The icon is not in system tray or the task bar, I can't alt+tab to it, but the application is still running (background) as evidenced by me relaunching and getting the error message FSPIPC is already running which then makes the interface available, again.

Maybe its in how I am interacting with the app.

Maybe. Have you tried the default hot key to show fsuipc7 - alt +f?

Will try next time I can't find it, thanks.

I have had this also. Normally, the FSUIPC7 icon appears in the task bar. Upon a right click, the small windows above the task bar shows both the console and ui. One can choose one or the other.

The case above describes the instance where there is no icon. In addition, in my case, the alt+f did not display the ui.

Also, when I opened FSUIPC7 without MSFS executing, neither the console nor the ui appeared. 

I removed all of FSUIPC7 files and installed again. I'll retest today.

This issue is related to an FSUIPC CTD has now been reported in the following topic: 

 

For users with the issue that FSUIPC is running but not opening/displaying when instructed (e.g. on keypress Alt+F),  then this is usually because the window is being sized/positioned off-screen. To rectify this, you need to exit FSUIPC and delete the Window ini parameter from the [General] section of your FSUIPC7.ini file and then restart FSUIPC7. This will reset FSUIPC to the default size and position.
