menu selection problem after P3D v4.2 upgrade

[Hilkiah 4]

Since upgrading to P3D v4.2 I'm having some weird menu selection issues.  The below video shows the problem when selecting the GSX menu (also happens with Pro ATC menu).  

First time menu simply appears and then disappears a split second later without giving the user a chance to select anything.  However an option is selected!  Second time, the menu stays on screen awaiting selection.  Problem can be replicated a few minutes later. 

Anyone else seen this?

I have experienced this same issue and I believe that it is driven by FSUIPC.  In my case FSUIPC is visible in the add-on menu when the menu text plays hide and seek.

If I wait about a minute, the menu will return to normal operation, however, FSUIPC is no longer displayed under the add-on menu.

I have not resolved this issue yet...

Revert to FSUIPC version 5.122 to solve this issue.

Thank you, sir!

That fixed that problem.

Not sure about the FSUIPC being the cauase.  I did some tests and found the following :  

First I tried removing FSUIPC 5.122 (i.e. moved the FSUIPC4.dll and FSUIPC5.dll from the modules folder as per the instructions), fired up P3D, loaded EGLL and the piper airplane, then loaded the PMDG 737.  Let it initilise then tried accessing the GSX menu and immediately got the vanishing menu problem.  

I exited the SIM, uninstalled ProATC, rebooted and started up P3D to repeat the test...same result.  

Exited, uninstalled GSX, rebooted and started P3D again and tested this time using Active Sky menu....same result

Exited, uninstalled Active sky, rebooted, downloaded latest version of GSX and reinstalled it (so now both AS and ProATC were uninstalled).  I then started P3D and repeated the test.  It APPEARED to work ok, but then COUATL kept crashing every now and then.  However thus far I haven't noticed the vanishing menu with GSX....just the COUATL crash every now and then.  Will do some further tests and revert.

btw, this is what the couatl log looks like:

Hilkiah, which ATC software are you using?

[Hilkiah 4]

I use Pro ATC

Well, this certainly isn't an FSUIPC problem. I think it is a P3D 4.2 SimConnect problem. I did a reinstall of my PC, so installing Windows 10 from scratch, installing P3D from scratch, etc. The only addon I installed so far that uses the SimConnect window is Active Sky, so no ProATC or GSX yet. I do not use FSUIPC at all. And with my pretty clean system the SimConnect window behaves erratic. I am having problems getting it to stay on screen and also making selections, once it is on screen, is often problematic too. Think I will report this on the official P3D forum. 

[Hilkiah 4]

Did you install AS after or before installing P3D?  I ask because after I reinstalled GSX, I haven't noticed the vanishing menu.  Granted I haven't done a flight yet but intend to do so this evening.  Also I haven't installed AS nor Pro ATC nor have I put back the FSUIPC dlls in place.  Want to keep the possibly suspects to a minimum

[Guest]

I always install the sim first before I install anything else so AS was installed after installing P3D.

I’ve been having the exact same issue with GSX and ProATC since the update. Uninstalling FSUIPC makes no difference.

I am also having issues with active sky 2016 and ezdok both I think are relates to simconnect in v4.2

[skysurfer 76]

I have the same issue. I reverted to older version of FSUIPC still same issues. The only way I can use menus if I pause the sim.
