FSUIPC no longer starting with exe.xml MSFS

[Orinks]

Hi all.

I've been trying to fix an issue with the PMDG 737 where I have to restart my flight via the MSFS menu to get FSUIPC offsets to fully load, E.G. on initial load, the talking flight monitor FMS interface claimed it was powered off when it was not, and I've modified my 737 options file to enable data broadcasting etc.

 

I think I fixed that, but now my FSUIPC is no longer starting with the sim as of 7.4.16. There was no change in changelog to indicate that this should be the case, and the entry is there in exe.xml.

 

Should I delete exe.xml, will the sim recreate it, and then reinstall FSUIPC?

Thanks.

You shouldn't need to do that - please show me your FSUIPC7.log file showing this issue, preferably with the offset for the FMS power logged.

There has been no change to the auto-start functionality for quite a while - the last change was switching the default auto-start method back to using the EXE.xml in version 7.4.13.

You can try that, The EXE.xml file will be recreated by the FSUIPC7 installer. Maybe check it first as it may have entries for other programs. Please see the FAQ entry on auto-start for all issues:
