The error is:
*** Error Reading from FSUIPC in 'Check_Key_or_JS_Changes' RT: 11
This error was discussed in German language at http://flightx.net/index.php?thread/361 ... ermeldung/
There the conclusion was that it was a problem with the performance file.

Unrelated to this issue, but I would recommend upgrading your version of FSUIPC.

This is the only version that all of my planes will "agree on"

Is this version faulty in some way?...Could it have contributed to the FDC failure?

Thanks for responding.

It is probably fine, but who knows, because nobody knows anymore how such ancient versions behave :)

But I'm curious, what problems do you have with newer versions of FSUIPC?

You may need to uninstall FDC and re-install into a different folder rather than Program Files (x86)..that could be the reason for not being able to upgrade fsuipc.

With the new version of FSUIPC...3.999...The Captain Sim 757 goes wild when engaging the AP...even when registerd and calibrated...and the Eaglesoft CX throttles don't respond...but with 4.938...and only that version...all my planes work


But...its important to understand that the FDC error came deep into a flight, not at "connect"...and this profile has been reliable in the past...

Is there an event in the logs that preceded the crash?

I'll take a look tomorrow...I have CS 757 on my test system...my laptop.
Just as a matter of interest, do you have anything in FSUIPC calibrated because I know the 767 has had issues with FSUIPC...you may want to check out 757 and any issues with FSUIPC.
You aren't trying to use a version for FS2004 in FSX are you, 3.99 is FS9 and 4.94 is for FSX.

I meant 4.999 for FSX... :oops:

The AP issues with the CS 757 is on their forums...even with calibrated many users have a crazy AP...Resolved by finding the FSUIPC version that the plane likes...which for me is 4.938...

Success!...As I said, this profile has worked well in the past...The one thing that was different on this flight was that I was flying with full tanks...Ive never done that before...

So I checked the weights in the performance file, and the highest weight was 225...On this flight my takeoff weight was 275...so I made the necessary edits...and the whole flight was perfect!


Does this mean that simply putting in wrong weights can crash the whole program?
