FSX-SE Crash with FSUIPC4 and logs

My 12 year old son and I recently became interested in Aviation after visiting the Museum of Flight at Boeing Field and seeing all the grounded 737 MAX planes, the B52, the concord, etc. We also went to Everet and toured the Boeing Plant there where they were building dreamliners and such.

 

We live in Alaska, so we don't see many planes besides the Cessna Caravans that serve out local community and the 737 NGs that fly up and down the inside passage when we go to Juneau. I taught HS Math for 23 years and now find myself to be a HS Band/Choir teacher.

 

We were using our Saitek yoke, quadrant, and pedals with FSX SE and the X56 throttle nd joystick, and also playing Combat Flight Simulator 3 European Theater. I bought three panels from Saitek: Multipanel, Comm, and switch, and was looking forward to using them after x-mas. They didn't work. So someone said download SPAD and install FSUIPC4 and it should work. Now FSX crashes all the time.

 

I did verify that all panels function as they should using Logitech's testing software, and have only tried one panel with FSX: The multipanel. I will post the install log for FSUIPC4 and the event log for the FSX-SE crash.

 

It would be nice if someone would help me out. I'm totally new at all this. I tried using Logitech's drivers but they did not seem to be seen at all by FSX, as the multipanel did not light up at all while it was running. I've watched a number of YouTube videos that try to tell me what to do, but they often refer to a Saitek folder in my Program Applications (x86) folder which does not exist.

 

Here is the install log for FSUIPC4:

Hi Matt,

 

A couple of possibilities here preventing the FSUIPC4.dll module.

 

Either you have a Administrator permissions issue preventing the module from being properly written into the FSX.cfg [Trusted] section

 

In the FSX.cfg [Trusted] section:

C:\path to FSX:SE root folder\Modules\FSUIPC4.dll.lhtbqauncutowicuhezlnctnrerwablkwbclktaz=1

Or

In the dll.xml :

 

FSUIPC 4

FalseDisabled>

Modules\FSUIPC4.dll

 

Or

 

The entry path or enabled status in the dll.xml has been prevented from writing the FSUIPC4.dll module entry

 

I would suggest you give your FSX folders & files Full Admin Permissions to read/write these entries into the [Trusted] sections.

note: you should have seen a dialog when starting FSX, asking you to trust the module and add it to the list in FSX.cfg, which also creates the entry in the dll.xml file.

 

Please don't use the FSX:SE beta version when troubleshooting these types of issues, some users have noted various things may not work under SE:beta.

The fsuipc log says you are using a version of fsx-se that fsuipc does not know yet. Version 10.0.63003.0 of fsx-se. And that this can cause problems.

I would think 'problems' means "problems with fsuipc itself" but who knows, maybe your problem also(?).

 

It says to look for an updated version of Fsuipc so see if you can find one made for the open beta of fsx-se.

 

The Fsx-se you use, version 10.0.63003.0 of fsx-se, is the open Beta version. There have been some issues like crashes reported with the Beta itself. So your issue may just be something with the open Beta and not caused by Fsuipc.

 

An open beta version is a version that is unfinished. Put out there so users can help find the issues and report them back to dovetail.

 

If you don't want to test out fsx-se updates for dovetail but just want to play and enjoy fsx:D, use the normal versions.:D

Also if you are using Windows 10 you will need to disable USB enhanced power settings. You can use the tool from this site. Run it as administrator and follow the onscreen prompts.

It says to look for an updated version of Fsuipc so see if you can find one made for the open beta of fsx-se (...)

The Fsx-se you use, version 10.0.63003.0 of fsx-se, is the open Beta version (...) An open beta version is a version that is unfinished. Put out there so users can help find the issues and report them back to dovetail.

The FSX-SE Open Beta was made by Microsoft, not Dovetail.

 

It seems to add some improvements, but is mainly equipped with telemetry tools for marketing (and guiding the development of) the upcoming new MS Flight Simulator. This is clearly, almost literally, written in the Open Beta description on Steam.

 

When it has done it's purpose of gathering data from users, it will most likely vanish in thin air (this is not written in their description, but just what I suspect).

 

I doubt Mr. Dowson will make an upgraded version of FSUIPC for this.

But of course, I can be wrong.

That doesn't achieve any more than just unplugging and re inserting the failing Saitek unit which is what they require you to do anyway. In my case it is the Multi Panel which needs re envigorating.

I have FSX-SE working now again and FSUIPC4 is running as well. I don't have anything working on the panels yet and am looking for a good tutorial on how to get my various panels to work in FSX-SE
