FSUIPC and WideFS Version

[bravolima]

The change from P3D v5 to v6 revealed to many scenery-problem, therefore I made a roll back to v5.  Am I right, FSUIPC 6.2.1 and WideFS Version 7.026 are the right Versions for a P3D v5 Installation. I´m in doubt, because my ProSim-Clientsoftware on the PC-Clients won't start. Program section and Client-section was copied from  prior FSUIPC/WideFS Installation into FSUIPC.ini

Thanks

Yes.

If you have multiple versions of P3D installed, then you can either use a single FSUIPC6 installation for all P3D versions installed, or you can have separate installations for each P3D version - see the Installation and Registration guide for details.

Why roll-back and not have both P3Dv5 and P3Dv6 installed? You can use the same installation for FSUIPC (and also for many add-ons, aircraft and scenery) for both installations (when using the add-ion xml method).

If its on the PC clients, it should be started by WideClient, not FSUIPC, as FSYUPC only runs on the server/P3D PC, not the client. So why copy into FSUIPC.ini?
A WideClient installation in a client PC will be exactly the same when using P3Dv5 as when using P3Dv6.

Any issues with programs not starting, check your logs to see what the error message/code is - they will give you a hint as to why they are not started.

FSUIPC 6.21. and WideFS 7.026 are correct version, this message is of great help. Thanks

Sorry, I was'nt clear enough. I copied this sections from my old fsuipc.ini into my new fsuipc.ini. The widefs.ini on the clients remain the same. I only copied new widefs.exe files from WideFS7 extraction into these folders. 

These are the actual sections in fsuipc.ini:

[Programs]
RunIf1=READY,CLOSE,"C:\ProSim\ProSimB738\ProSimB738.exe"
RunIf2=DELAY,READY,CLOSE,"C:\ProSim\ProSimAudio2\ProsimAudio.v2.exe"
RunIf3=DELAY,READY,CLOSE,"C:\ProSim\ProSimB738-HardwareConnector\ProSimB738-HardwareConnector.exe"
RunIf4=READY,CLOSE,"C:\CFY\CFY_TQ Console.exe"
RunIf5="C:\Program Files\AivlaSoft\EFB2\Server\AivlaSoft.Efb.Server.exe"
RunIf6=CLOSE,"C:\Programme\HiFi\ASP3D\ASP3D.exe"
RunIf7=CLOSE,"C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\vPilot\vPilot.exe -host"
Delay=10

[ClientNames]
1=B737-LEICAS
2=B737-CPT
3=B737-UEICAS
4=B737-SYSTEMS
5=CENTER-PRO
6=B737-FO
7=EFBCPT

 

Btw, I know about the add-on.xml  method. All my v5 sceneries are in one folder. The main problem in the transition v5 to v6 were missing rwy & taxiway lights in many Addon.

But why are you doing this? You can use the same FSUIPC6.ini with P3Dv5 and P3Dv6 - they should be the same as far as FSUIPC is concerned...

As I said, there is no difference when running FSUIPC6 with P3Dv6 or P3Dv5. If there is an issue with your programs not starting, you need to look at the FSUIPC6.log file to see what the error code is - this is a windows error code, and look up that to see what the issue is - usually it is either a 'file-not-found' or 'permission denied' error code.  Take appropriate action depending on what the error is.

Why not have both P3Dv5 and P3Dv6 installed, and use the same FSUIPC6 installation for both. You can then use the add-ons that work in both, and for the ones that do not currently function correctly in v6, leave them out or look for solutions to get them working...or wait for an update.

I deinstalled v6 and made a complete reinstall of v5. I wanted to be sure to be on a clean side. For that reasons too, after backup the fsuipc.ini, I reinstalled FSUIPC: May be it was something like a clean up.... I will check the log files. Thanks so far.

Ok, but there are no issues having both v5 and v6 installed - they are completely separate applications as far as windows is concerned. I think this is the best way to proceed - providing of course that you have enough disk space (just for the P3D installation - most add-ons can be shared), Also then easier to switch between the two, and diagnose any issues with add-ons om v6. Just my 2c.

I started to work again on this issue. FSUIPC 6.2 /WideFS 7.0/ P3D 5.4  Installation of FSUIPC and WideFS as recommended. 

The program section in the FSUIPC.ini  is not processed. Any hint & comments are appreciated. Thanks in advance

Your log file shows that you didn't load an aircraft and get to the ready-to-fly state, and toy exited after 205 seconds...

Apart from the first entry, the numbers are not in the correct position. Maybe the case also matters...try:
