fsuipc crashes.

Good day...does any other person have this problem..???

24 hours ago I installed the version 4.976 thinking that this will solve my problem with FSX crashing in very long flights, like SFSO to YSSY or KDFW to FACT (13 plus hours--B-789 from SIMVIATION QUANTAS YAM Dreaming or B-773ER KLM ORANGE PRIDE) but unfortunattly at about 75%/85% into the flight, FSx stops working and I get messages from Smartcars that there was no connection to the sim.

This is not the first time I have this problem. With all previos version of FSUIPC my FSX has crashed. No matter what plane I use default or other.

My FSX is original, gold edition, installed in W10,64b,core 2 duo cpu e8400Q 3 hz 2.67 ghz 6gb ram working with planes downloaded from SIMVIATION, PMDG, QW, RIKOO, REAL AIR and others. No addons like airports, weather or terrain. FSX is in a 500 gb hard disk F, with 415 gb free and C with main programs,  with 320 gb free. 

I have sometimes Vpilot and VATTASTIC open with my flight. Also I have JEPPVIEW charts opend for my landing airport, SIMBRIEF, GOOGLE conversion of fuel, and my main page of the virtual airline I fly for ---TCAVENEZUELA(no sesion initiated). 

Sometimes FSX closes, indicating the lack of virtual memory. This happens when I try several planes, one after another, when I check speeds at different altitudes or with FSX open with a plane in any airport and do not use it for a while.

I have erased and desinstalled FSUIPC and FSX and installing them again and the problem persists.

Any advice will be gratefull.

I live in Venezuela and I cannot aford the paid FSUIPC due to the problems we have in the country.

Thank you very much..

Issues like this after many hours of flying using various 3rd party add-ons (including FSUIPC) is usually due to an old SimConnect bug (since ESP days) where SimConnect runs out of client connections. This seems to affect all versions of SimConnect. There is further information on this issue in this forum, so search for that.
There's no real solution, but you should increase the MaxClients parameter in your SimConnect.xml to at least 128 (or the maximum, whatever that is).

You also posted in the User Contributions sub-forum, where it explicitly states NOT for support requests. I have moved your post for you.

You need to update your FSX!   There are lots of bugs in SimConnect in the original edition. There were two updates to fix things. They are still available:

But have you installed them? You definitely said your FSX was the original.

Perhaps you could post your FSUIPC4.LOG file so I can see what is happening. You'll find it in the FSX Modules folder. It would also be useful if you found the Windows crash details for FSX.EXE in the Windows Event Viewer.

If this was the case, why have you not reported it before? How long have you been using an old FSUIPC4 user?

FSX dates back to 2005 (the original one ,at least), and once the updaters were released FSUIPC has been a very stable and well trusted addition. Considering this I'm thinking your installation of FSX might be cottupted. Haven't you considered reinstalling it afresh, plus the updates of course?

Try google. There are several topics  on this in the FSUIPC forums, and also in the FSX forums. Its an easy fix - find the SimConnect.xml file used by FSX (under your AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX folder) and then just change the MaxClients value to 128 (the default is 64). If the SimConnect.xml isn't there, create a default one (see https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/445286-simconnectxml-file-issue/)

You can also confirm that this is actually your issue first if you like, by activating SimConnect logging, but that is more involved than just updating the MaxClients parameter, so I would just try that first to see if it helps - it will not have any negative side effects.
