kaha Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 Sometimes lua scripts that reside in the [AUTO] section of the .ini file keep running when the flight is ended and I go back to the Main Menu. This happens since recently only, maybe introduced with version 7.4? Is there a reason for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did remove what I thought was some unnecessary code recently with regards to lua script starting/terminating...maybe I removed too much... I will check this and get back to you. But you say only sometimes....does this mean that they are usually stopped/killed, but occasionally not? Do you see anything in your logs that indicate that it failed to terminate a lua script?

John Dowson Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 24 minutes ago, kaha said: I assume the script that still has open COMs is HIDSwitch.lua and all other scripts don't? Not necessarily...best to just look at the scripts and see if they are opening any com ports, and if so close them in a terminate function. However, that log extract shows everything closing/being killed ok. 27 minutes ago, kaha said: Would you need the .lua script? Why would i need this? Just check the script and add some lines to close the coms in a terminate event. Looks like it may already have such a function, as 'LUA.11: HidSwitch ends.......' is reported....

kaha Posted January 10 Author Report Share Posted January 10 Yes, the function is there, I implemented it. But why does it report then that there are still open COMs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dowson Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 6 minutes ago, kaha said: But why does it report then that there are still open COMs? It doesn't - it is reporting dev/com threads still running, and this is before the terminate message for that script, so probably not closed yet. I wouldn't worry about this until it fails, i.e. does not stop the script. Then send me the logs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you are restarting after 79 seconds, then 20 seconds, then again after 29 seconds.... When you start a flight, it can take 1-2 minutes for all data to be received, all threads started and initialised, luas started, etc...it is just not worth me looking intto issues like this, sorry. Please provide more explanation when you attach a log, and highlighting the issue/timestamp where you think there is a problem. Also, please note that I have limited time for support at the moment due to personal issues (my wife broke her wrist a few weeks ago, so I have to do all the cooking, cleaning, shopping, dog walking, etc etc) and would appreciate it if you could only report any serious issues for the time being. I can look into strange timing issues when time permits, in a few months maybe... John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dowson Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 Also, is this related to the other support issue you have raised with restarting a flight? When you do this, you are NOT going back to the main menu, and I am not sure what FSUIPC does when doing this without checking, i.e. luas may not be restarted. As I said in the other thread, I will check this behavior and see if it needs adjusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaha Posted January 14 Author Report Share Posted January 14 It's not related to restarting a flight. Next time this happens I will exactly point you to the time stamp where it happens. All the best for your wife! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaha Posted January 15 Author Report Share Posted January 15 Sorry for writing again, John. It happened again. I made a flight with the Cessna 182RG from Carenado. After landing I went back to the Main Menu in order to change a lua script. Scripts were all ended. I then loded the C182RG again and spent several minutes to check and change button assignments. After that I again went back to the Main Menu and the script was not ended. The timestamp at that time is 11736954. I then quit the sim and only then the scripts were ended, as the log file shows at time stamp 11903704. ScriptNotEnded.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dowson Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 I will take a look....was an assignments window still open when you went back to the main menu? FSUIPC ignores some events when assignment windows/panels are open, and I was wondering if this could be the cause? I will check here and report back...when I have time.

kaha Posted January 16 Author Report Share Posted January 16 Take your time, John! No window was open when I quit to the Main Menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dowson Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 (edited) Can you please try the attached version which has additional logging. Please activate logging for Extras, and send me the log file when this happens again. I suspect this issue is related to a timing issue where the plane parking state is received before the new camera state, but the additional logging will confirm this. Note that if you continue to have such issues, you can set the following in the [General] section of your FSUIPC7.ini file: KillLuasOnSimStop=Yes But don't set this for the time being....

kaha Posted January 17 Author Report Share Posted January 17 Another occurance using V7.4.3b executable. After a 1.5 hour flight going back to Main Menu the last timestamp in the log file was "17622313 Plane Parking state change confused....." After that I quit the sim.

kaha Posted January 17 Author Report Share Posted January 17 Unfortunately I did not activate log for extras. Have done that now for the next occurance. Sorry. Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dowson Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 Dont worry about it - I am working on this at the moment. There are various issues as the data/events being received from MSFS are not consistent. I will post an updated version for you to test, hopefully later today.

John Dowson Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 Can you try the attached please: FSUIPC7.exe Hopefully this fixes some issues when starting FSUIPC7 (in various sim states), when restarting a flight (note that luas will be left running, not killed), and when exiting a flight and going back to the main menu (luas killed when plane in parking state, regardless of camera state).

I tested quite a but here and released this update as 7.4.3 (including a few ither updates) a few hours ago. This should/may also fix the other issue you had (a CTD), but please post again in that topic if it occurs again. Cheers, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
