P3Dv5.3 not shutting down properly

[Jerry McCarroll]

I'm not sure if this is related to other problems I've been P3Dv5.3 but it seems P3D isn't shutting down properly. When I choose File/Exit it leaves these two items in the taskbar. One is labeled "Lockheed Martin Prepar3D v5 with Wideserver: waiting for clients", the other "Prepar3D v5 Dialog". Clicking on them doesn't maximize them and I have to manually close them.  Jorge in the P3D forum said this might be related to fsuipc.

The window labeled "Lockheed Martin Prepar3D v5 with Wideserver: waiting for clients" is the P3D main window, the other a P3D dialog box - not sure which one. Did you get the confirm exit dialog box from P3D, or do you have that option disabled?

It might, but I cannot tell from the information you have provided. Please show me your FSUIPC6.log file.

With all the problems I was having I decided it was time to just do a complete reinstall.

I did a clean install of P3D5.3.  the only addons I have installed are FSUIPC and the Prosim737 Aircraft model PBR.  I'm having the same problems as before.  When I load a flight and click on any top dropdown Menu item and make a selection: ex:  Navigation-Go to Airport, the window goes black.  If I click on the black screen I hear a Windows ding.  I hit Esc and goes back to the Flight screen.  If I click on Scenario-Exit the window goes black.  If I then hit Enter-Esc it closes P3D.  It must have something to do with fsuipc.  I just go to the default flight and don't start Prosim I still have this issue.

I just discovered something very interesting.  I uninstalled fsuipc and Prosim737 aircraft and restarted P3D.  I'm running an RTX 3080 and have P3D spread across 3 42" lcd screens.  If I dock P3D on the left screen all the menus are working properly, also on the right screen.  But on the middle screen or spread across all three the P3D window goes black when I try to select something from any menu.  I reinstalled fsuipc and its still working like it should.  I guess I need to contact Lockheed Martin and explain this to them.  It was working fine with P3Dv4.5 but when I switched to P3Dv5.3 this started happening.

So your P3D windows go black when you select any menu option? That does sound like an issue with P3D...
The P3D windows will go black when you open FSUIPC - this is normal. If the FSUIPC main window isn't being shown,  it is because it is positioned outside of your screen dimensions. If that is the case, remove the ini parameter OptionsDialogOffset from the [General] section of your FSUIPC6.ini file - this is the ini parameter that saves the position of the FSUIPC main window.

The FSUIPC window is being shown.  The problem is with all the other menus.  I contacted P3D and I'm waiting to hear back from them.  Thx John.
