This looks like a SimConnect problem that UTL is encountering. It could be trying to invoke a faulty AI aircraft model. Just in case can you re-run the SimConneect setup manually by double clicking the ..msi's

C:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\redist\Interface\FSX-SP1\retail\lib\SimConnect.msi

C:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\redist\Interface\FSX-SP2-XPACK\retail\lib\SimConnect.msi

This ensures the library is correctly identified by all parties.

Then have a think if you installed something that might cause an issue when injecting AI traffic. It could be other things but that's a start.

Ok thanks. I also had an outdated SDK installed from P3D v4.3 which I have since updated to 4.4

[SteveW 1,792]

OK worth doing! It's possible that can be an issue.

I would update to P3DV4.4 too.  It's free.
