What happens if I delete FSUIPC?

[Noel 4,484]

I get an occasional crash after being in flight for many minutes. I may leave the PC for 10 and come back and all's well until I interact w/ the PC, then FSX goes thru a 30 second period where the windoes hourglass displays, then finally get the Fatal Error, and get this message :

 

Problem signature:

Problem Event Name: APPCRASH

Application Name: fsx.exe

Application Version: 10.0.61472.0

I don't use FSUIPC's various features much, so what will I lose if I don't have it? I think my software profile is in my PC specs, plus FSPassengersX and now FSXFollow for Mac.

Try his version 4.86

 

Also post in his forums, he's really good at helping out, something is wrong with your config, not fsuipc.

Noel,

 

Your PC is a MAC, correct?

 

" I may leave the PC for 10 and come back and all's well until I interact w/ the PC, then FSX goes thru a 30 second period where the windoes hourglass displays, then finally get the Fatal Error, and get this message :"

 

Does the MAC go into "sleep" mode?

Or, are you "pausing" FSX for 10 minutes?

Have you had FSX installed for a long time and this problem just started happening?

This would be really useful information for me to support you if only it was with the latest version! As it is I cannot match the offset to the code now because things have changed so much between 4.853 and 4.86.

 

Please try with 4.86 and if you get it again, report the same data to me on my Support Forum. Also please supply the FSUIPC4.LOG file (paste its contents into the message). You will find the log in the FS Modules folder.

Thanks Vaughn, no it's not a Mac--just use my MBP for FSXFollow, and wasn't using that add on at the time of this crash.

Great, will do, thanks ;o)

No pausing, just stepped away for 10 min while at altitude on autopilot. I've had FSX installed non-stop for almost 5 years. Runs great. This error/crash has happened only rare-occasionally and always cites FSUIPC.dll, and has occurred w/ more than just this version. Thanks!

Ok

 

"This error/crash has happened only rare-occasionally and always cites FSUIPC.dll"

 

Does this mean within the last few days, months, years ... various FSUIPC versions etc?

Hopefully, a FSUIPC error code or other log entry will tell the reason.

Sure, I think maybe the last 6+ months or so I began seeing this. I'd say maybe of every 15-20 times up this will occur.
