FSUIPC 7.2.13 provides wrong path for flight plans folder

[AivlaSoft]

Hello,

I upgraded FSUIPC7 from version 7.2.10 to 7.2.13 within the same MSFS version (SU7, 1.21.13.0). For the tests I didn't change the aircraft. Nothing has changed on the MSFS side while I was testing.

I can reproduce it by simply uninstalling one FSUIPC version and then installing the other version and vice versa.

The output at offset 0x1000 with 7.2.10 is correct:
"..\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\"

The output at offset 0x1000 with 7.2.13 is wrong:
"..\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\"

Again, the only thing which changes between the tests is the version of FSUIPC.

Note:
I don't know how FSUIPC is getting the information about the folder name for the MSFS flight plans, but it also might be that the source of the issue is not FSUIPC itself but the latest MSFS SDK.

Thanks for looking into this.

Regards,
Urs

I presume that you are using an MS Store installed version, no?
Could you tell me where your MSFS UserCfg.opt file is please - in your LocalState folder or LocalCache folder?
Also, please attach your FSUIPC7.log file.

Thanks,

John

Yes, correct. Sorry for not having mentioned this before.

I have created two log files, one with 7.2.10 and one with 7.2.13. I have taken the liberty of removing the personal data from the files.

Hi Urs,

looks like this problem was introduced in v7.2.12 when I changed the method of determining the MSFS install type. Sorry about that.
Should be corrected in the attached version if you would like to try:

FSUIPC7.exeFetching info...

Hi John,

thank you very much for this quick fix. This is much appreciated, especially on a Saturday!

We did several tests and test flights now and we can confirm that the flight plans folder is now properly set again. Normal operation is back 😎.

FSUIPC7_v7.2.14a.logFetching info...

Kind regards,
Urs

What would the actual path to the saved flight plans be though?

This depends on the MSFS version - whether you have an MSFS install or a steam install. For the latter, it is under 
      <USER>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator
