Hardware stops responding during preflight

[Er!k]

Hi guys, I am noticing the following:

Software:
- MSFS
- Fenix A320
- Freeware FSUIPC
- Flightpanels.io StreamDeck Panel for Fenix
- GSX

Hardware:
- Thrustmaster sidestick
- Thrustmaster throttle + add-on
- Thustmaster rudder pedals
- Skalarki DesktopLine FCU
- JavaSimulator Mini Overhead
- StreamDeck XL

 

When starting a flight, after a few minutes, the mini overhead becomes unresponsive. The sim works, FCU works, other hardware as well...

I cannot solve it by restarting FSUIPC and the software of Java Simulator. Can you please help me how to troubleshoot?

Can you show me/attach your FSUIPC7.ini and FSUIPC7.log files please - attach them once you experience the issue and have exited FSUIPC7.

[Er!k]

Will do. Thanks for the help!

I have attached both the ini and log in 1 zip file below.

I think I solved the issue (for now). I found that I had an older version of the mobiflight-event-module installed. Installed latest version 1.0.1 and so far so good...

Ok. But as you are using an unregistered version of FSUIPC7, FSUIPC7 is not doing anything with your hardware at all and so your issue is nothing to do with FSUIPC7 anyway.

Okay, thanks! Good to know for the future 🙂

I was judging too soon... Starting a flight out of Heathrow, and after a few minutes the same issue... Overhead unresponsive. I was thinking, could it have to do with the amount of SimConnect calls? I have GSX running, FSLTL with live FR24 traffic, Fenix....

Issue seems to be lying in the software from JavaSimulator. There are some reports that a lower FSUIPC version works (7.4.11). They bring a fix this week...

Thanks for the update.

Not sure why an earlier version would work.
You do have your DetectToConnectDelayAuto ini parameter set quite high, which means that it will take a short while (2mins) between when FSUIPC7 is started and when it will connect to the sim (and thus be ready for use). It will reduce gradually over time (auto-tuning wiil do this), but maybe better to set this to a lower value (in your FSUIPC7.ini file) and let FSUIPC7 tune itself from there, e.g. set
    DetectToConnectDelayAuto=60
