CTD with beta release v7.1.0a

[mtjoeng]

A CTD with beta release v7.1.0a, afraid to use it again, (using 7.1.0 now), booted me back to a 'auto computer repair'.

Prob because I was trying the new updates and beta, had double FSUIPC.exe entries that I killed in taskmanager, and then, boom when restarting. A stuck FSUIPC not unloading after exit has happened several times 'instance FSUIPC already there' where I think to have stopped FSUIPC or, FSUIPC SHOULD stop with MSFS xml and doesn't, and then restart but discover 2 instances in Taskmanager (and FSUIPC not working) and have to kill both with a bad result now trying beta a.

BTW the help says version 7.0.8

What would be appreciated would be

- FSUIPC option to start windowed and not minimize to the Toolbar, so to see plainly the loading

- Right shift keys like MSFS, RAlt, RCtrl etc

- more than often my LINDA
Run1=KILL,k:\FSUIPC7\linda.exe
won't start Linda

- one (1) instance of FSUIPC be allowed without an error message & confirm box when EXE.xml is defined, just kill the one in memory and refresh with a new one.

When without loading LINDA could FSUIPC
- load LINDA MSFS-default profile when
 
[LuaFiles]
1=ipcReady
2=LINDA

or is that LINDA stuff
(that LINDA.lua comes from a Linda installation I guess)

Sorry, what do you mean? There is no 7.1.0, only 7.1.0a.
Are you sure it was FSUIPC7 that crashed, and not MSFS. Do you have an FSUIPC7.log file for the crash, and a windows event?

No it doesn't! If it says that, that is the version you are running....

I don't know what you are doing, but sounds like you did not install the v7.1.0a version correctly. You should use the downloaded FSUIPC7.exe to replace your previous FSUIPC7.exe (or just rename the existing one first).

I think you should re-install the full version again (v7.0.8), then re-download the 7.1.0a version and use that to replace the installed FSUIPC7.exe. If you then have any issues, show me your install log as well as your EXE.xml file.

You can do this by not selecting to 'Auto-Connect to FS'. But then you need to manually connect.

If that is a feature request, I can put it on the list and look into it at some point. However, there is a lot to do at the moment and I it will be a long time (> 1 year) before I will get a chance to look into this.

I thought the recommended way to start Linda was via lua and ipcReady....
However, it should start with a run command if you want to do it that way. But there is no point in just telling me these things, I need to see your logsd and ini files if you want me to look into anything.

The [LuaFiles] section is auto-generated by FSUIPC and just lists the lua files found in your installation folder, for assignment purposes.
I'm not sure what you are asking, but if it is related to Linda then you should ask on the Linda support forums. I don't use Linda.
