Aivlasoft

Since the latest FSUIPC's versions there is a problem with Aivlasoft trying to load the database for MSFS2020. There has never been a problem with the connection between FSUIPC and Aivlasoft's EFB but now you keep getting this message:

"The currently selected database does not match the running simulator type."

- as if FSUIPC is telling Aivlasoft that I'm running MSFS2024 which I'm not.

I've installed an old FSUIPC version and everything seems to work 100% again. Would you please be so kind to see why there is a problem with your latest version of FSUIPC?

Much appreciated

There is no problem with the latest version of FSUIPC. There is probably an issue with the software you are using that is reading offset 0x3308 which holds the FS version number.
This held 13 at start-up in all versions of FSUIPC7 prior to 7.5. However, as 7.5 is compatible with both MSFS2020 and MSFS2020, the version number is no longer written to this offset until FSUIPC has connected to the FS, as it needs to determine the version first.
This has caused some issues with some 3rd party software.
To help with this, I released 7.5.1 which contains a couple of additions to help with this. If you add:
    Init3308=13
to the [General] section of your FSUIPC7.ini file, then FSUIPC will again pre-populate that offset with the value 13, which is for MSFS2020.

Thank you, John for coming back to me so quickly.

I will add that line and see what happens when I'm back at my PC again and report back to you.

It works!

Aivlasoft is back online with no error message.

Thank you for you help.
