Hi,
I have installed the full version of FSUIPC 7 today to be able to feather the props using my HC Bravo prop levers and so far I did not experience any problems.
I start MSFS using the FSUIPC shortcut. This also gives me a startup screen immediately, no need to worry for the first minute whether MSFS launches or not.
If the community managers manage to communicate the impact of this bug correctly to Asobo, this will be treated as a showstopper, because itâs a CTD and easy to reproduce, and receive a fix.
If not, FSUIPC and SPAD.next will learn to be smarter about the SimConnect requests they make and theyâll wait until the flight has been started before they make the requests that currently crash the sim.
If they literally started the sim, started a flight, then started each of these programs, one after another, each time wiggling a joystick and watching the result on screen, they would have concluded that everything is fine. You literally can not catch everything when youâve got limited time.
I donât remember changes to SimConnect being listed in the release notes. If thatâs correct, SimConnect functionality might not have been on the list of things the QA team focused on. This bug could well have been caused by a change in a completely different system (letâs say AI traffic, since FSUIPCâs author seemed to think it was related to that).
Disclaimer: I worked in QA, so I tend to defend people working in QA. They have an impossible task.
Sorry to hear about that, just going to have to wait that one out I think. Make sure it is reported to FSUIPC if it isnât fixed in the next few days with any patches that come out.
They have beta testers.
But not long ago some of them searched for the flaps switch in the F-16 âŠ
And said the A/C has a bug âŠ
Because no flaps switch
Sorry found another cause of the CTD
If I enable FSUIPC7 on âCold and darkâ plane it crashed MSFS2020.
So my workaround only works if plane isnât cold and dark.
I try to check if it only works when start on runway or also if you set the plane to run. But testing takes time, because the startup time of MSFS2020 is very high.
Ok it seems to be related to the starting position So try to start on runway not parking position.
I did not think the CTD was related to that, but it is always worth trying without AI data going to FSUIPC7 as this has caused issues in the past.
It seems that this issue is related to the 3rd party programs use of SimConnect when in the MSFS main menu. If using FSUIPC7, the current fix (mentioned above and in the FSUIPC forums here: FYI: FSUIPC might be incompatible with SU9 right now - FSUIPC7 MSFS - The simFlight Network Forums) is to disable auto-connection and connect/disconnect manually when not in the menu system (i.e. connect after you are ready-to-fly, disconnect before returning to the main menu).
Hopefully Asobo will fix this before the official release. If not, I will look into updating FSUIPC7 to only connect once ready-to-fly, and disconnect as soon as the flight is cancelled.
