Well, do this just to test that everything is working besides the service not starting.

Open up P3D 3.1...then go to your P3D directory\Flight One Software\Ultimate Traffic 2\

 

Click on UT2Services.exe to start the service manually. Go back into P3D and start a flight. See if you have traffic after about 30 seconds. Also check your addon menu on the top bar and see if UT2 is listed in there.

If that works, then you know it's simply your exe file not working.

Its the one in AppData Roaming that controls UT2

 

 

Ive got 2 \\ in my path,  Ive always had,  Don't really know what the second \ means or why its there.

When you say no Joy,  are you getting the error message or just no Traffic 

 

No, I'm pleased to say that the error messages are no more, but I've no traffic and in fact, as highlighted by bonchie, UT2 is not actually running whilst P3D is open.  Bit weird, but no doubt a logical explanation, to be sure!

Great suggestion bonchie.  Tried this, got the standard audible message, but no UT2 traffic having started a flight.

By the way, having followed your suggestion bonchie, I note that UT2Services.exe does in fact appear in task manager.  Still no traffic though.

Ok,  Well then its either your Simobjects.cfg Path in  C\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin  Or a corrupt exe.xml file

Many thanks Elaine.  I'll try this tomorrow, bit late now.

Hello,

 

 

Hi I am Going to advice everyone in this post do yourself a favor and uninstall 3.1 from windows add remove and delete any leftover stuff from P3D -  uninstall all of your addons first - important especially Estonia migration tool it has to be disabled first then uninstall

 

Now why am I saying this - there was a memory leak in 3.1 thats not good and you should really do a fresh install if you added anything that messes with the exe.dll and xml.dll file and they do - bit the bullet now and you will be happier in the end - this is a strong build of p3d and it will be worth it

 

Thats my advice kind of a pain but you may run into problems that will make for a lot of wasted time - I know been there done that on last build - not this time and I will be able to sleep at night knowing I have a virgin build and if something goes a miss I can reverse it

 

But now with addons reverse scenario just got way to complicated - your call but this is the safest way in my mind

 

Thank you Rob and LM for all the work that goes into making p3d a great simulator

 

If your not sure about something just ask

 

Bogey1 - your welcome - glad you got it sorted out just in time to do it again - practice makes perfect   :wink:

Hi Elaine, I had an early start this morning and uninstalled everything and reinstalled from scratch with P3Dv3.2 (following Richard's lead above), although in my recent reinstalls over the past days, I hadn't reinstalled some of the heavier addons (Orbx/OPUS/Rex/PMDG's etc..), so this was not a long task.  So far I've installed (other than v3.2 of course), Estonia Migration Tool, FSUIPC (with a warning that the version of P3D was not recognised and therefore FSUIPC might not function (although it seems fine), SPAD and the A2A C172 Trainer, in that order.  All working wonderfully.  I then installed UT2 with no error messages on start up although for some reason, it still won't load up in P3D unless I activate UT2Services.exe manually, which is no big deal actually, as I just put it onto my start menu.  I kind of got this far yesterday, but as I reported, no traffic.  Here's the odd thing; I discovered earlier that in fact I DO have traffic, depending upon which gate I start at in Stansted (EGSS).  Stansted is my default scenario and so when I was checking and working through everything yesterday, I wasn't seeing traffic because it was behind a terminal building, consisting of just two aircraft, with the UT2 sliders on 100% (??).  For some reason UT2 is hardly putting any traffic into Stansted.  If I move to Gatwick/Heathrow, I have plenty of traffic.  Any idea why Stansted is so sparsely populated by UT2?  I certainly had good levels of traffic at Stansted in UT2 some weeks ago when it behaved itself.  Bear in mind, this is a completely clean install.  I'm stumped, but at least I have some traffic.

That sounds like an afcad issue at that specific airport go to seller of airport and ask them about the issue - try a non payware airport and you will not have the problem - I assume your Stansted is payware

 

These dll entries above your last version to compare to mine ?

Actually no Richard, this is just the default Stansted Airport.

What are your traffic settings in UT2 

 

Do you have the UT2 menu in addons section (pull down menu in P3D)

 

Post your latest xml so I can see it

Hey Richard.....  

 

Settings are at 100% and updated (both sliders)

 

Yes, UT2 shows up in addons (after manually selecting the services exe).

 

Latest xml.....(not much else installed yet)

I'm away for a couple of hours shortly, so I will respond later when I get back, should you have any smart solutions!  :-)

Your first group of lines shown looks weird from all of the ones I have seen - but I do not know enough to touch it so only added last line that looks like it should be there for sure

 

I added this </SimBase.Document>

 

Now for your problem I dont think it has anything to do with this anyway - did you go into UT2 menu and go to utilites - timezones and click update timezone file - bottom right hand corner - it needs to be done I also suggest you buying there schedule updates which will help your cause - I have the 2 latest schedule updates 6.95 us dollars 

 

I have these and install them before trying UT2 - that is why I might not be seeing any issues

 

You can try different major airports to see if the low traffic is present if not then you should buy these schedules - thats about all I can do for you - good luck

Many thanks Richard, most grateful!  I'll look at your suggestions and get back to you.

Excellent - trying for yah

I installed ut 2 on p3d v3 but when i open p3d i get a message saying this feature requires that {smartassembly} is available on this computer

 

Can't find where this thread or if this thread was ever answered?

Im havng issues getting it to run on p3d 3.2. I had it running ok in p3d 3.1 but I had to completely uninstall 3.1 and then install 3.2. So I reinstalled UT2 . Everytime I start p3d now I get that red stop sign saying I need to reboot. I did reboot but still getting red stop sign every boot up of p3d. I hear the boot up sound though but not UT2 in addon menu :-( . What am I doing wrong.
