FSUIPC makes my P3Dv4.5 crash on startup screen

[Miguel Salazar]

THello everyone,

I´m having major issues with my P3D alongside the addons I have (Active Sky, GSX, PMDG 737 NGXu, Fly Tampa Amstedam, UK2000 Manchester, FSUIPC6). After installing one addon at a time and checking if P3D as running correctly after each installation, FSUIPC made my P3D crash n startup. The main screen appears, followed by a loading screen of "Loading scenery objects", then "Creatng World-wide Weather", then "Loading air traffic control", then "Loading Complete". After that, both startup and loading screen close (looks like a crash), but the prepar3d.exe keeps runing on background, according to my task manager. I´ve read the thread on the .wx files and etc (below) as well as another one from the same issue. Neither solutions helped. So if anyone can help me out, I would appreciate a lot. Thank you very much

First, you posted in the wrong sub-forum for FSUIPC5/6 support - I have moved your post.

The usual reason for such a crash is a corrupt weather file - please see the following FAQ entry: 

 

If that is not your issue, please show me / attach your FSUIPC .log file. Also. please check the windows Event viewer for a crash report and show me the details.

Hello John, thank you very much for your response. From the FAQ entry you sent me, I only had the wxstationlist.bin file in my regular P3D folder (ehich I deleted), not in the path presented at the post. Also, I deleted the .wx file in my documents section. I also tried adding the NoWeatherAtAll=Yes in the ini file, and it didn´t work either. As to the Event Viewer, I´m not familiar wit the tool but there was nothing there regarding P3D or FSUIPC. I attach then the FSUIPC log, as you requested. Thanks!

I just want to contextualize I little bit more. That problem first happened to me out of nowhere. I had FSUIPC 6 installed for a long time alongside all my addons, and it always worked well. The FSUIPC was used for my VA ACARS program only. One day, as I said, out of nowhere, that different loading sequence happened and it crashed my P3D. I dont think it actually crashes, because it still runs in the task manager but in the background. So I did a full Windows reinstallation, installed one addon at a time, running P3D after each installation to try and isolate the issue, and it happened to me right after I installed FSUIPC6 (which was the last thing I needed to install for the VA ACARS work. Another important note, unistalling FSUIPC doesnt make my simulator run again, that´s why I´m completely lost in this situation.

You should not delete this one as that is the original that is copied to the paths given in the post.

Then that would indicate it is an issue with P3D and not FSUIPC. Try re-installing the P3D client. And try starting with a default aircraft before switching to the PMDG 737.

I had a saved scenario that the sim started up with the PMDG 737 at EHAM. I deleted that scenario file and it works now (loading the F35 and Eglin AFB). Really hope it keeps working. Thank you very much!
