Have to "kill" and restart FSUIPC in combination with APL2

[Blodwyn76]

Hello and thanks in advance for your help.

I use FSUIPC in combination with A Pilots Life Vers 2 (APL2) in MSFS 2020. Worked without issues until the last days.
Now I have to close and restart FSUIPC always first to get it to work with APL2 (it doesn´t recognize the flight status anymore).
After the restart it works again. I did the "3. November Update" and tried a fresh install but that didn´t solve the problem.

Any ideas? Thanks...

Please show me /attach your FSUIPC7.log file from when you get your issue and close FSUIPC (and before you restart),

Thanks for your help. Here the files:

After start (APL2 Flight Sim connected, Flight Stage not recognized)

FSUIPC7.log

after "kill" and restart (PS: "killed" the app accidentially again, but APL2 worked).

FSUIPC7.log

This is the log of the 2. restart:

FSUIPC7.log

Hope this will help. Thanks.

Your log files show that FSUIPC7 couldn't connect to MSFS when it was auto-started.
How long does it take from when you see the FSUIPC splash screen to when MSFS arrives to the main menu state and is ready?
You should time this and set the following parameters in the [General] section of your FSUIPC7.ini file. Lets say it took 90 seconds, then set:
    DetectToConnectDelayAuto=90
    InitialStallTime=45
    StartUpTuningDoneVersion=-1

Also, are you using/starting any other add-ons via the EXE.xml? Some starting add-ons seem to cause issues with FSUIPC getting a simconnect connection, for example FS Realistic seems to cause problems. Could you maybe show me / attach your MSFS EXE.xml file - the location of this file will be logged in your InstallFSUIPC7.log file.

You can also try the attached version. In this version, I have allowed/corrected negative InitialStallTime values. With such values, a successful open call will not time-out (and re-connect), which may help. So try this with the previous values, but set
    InitialStallTime=-10
