[Solved] FSUIPC does not connect to SimConnect in MSFS2020

BodoM · 2026-02-15T17:47:14Z

Hi there,the current FSUIPC Version 7.5.6 does not establish a connection to SimConnect after loading MSFS properly with an aircraft at any airport.I found this problem in connection with our pirep tool which depends on information delivered by FSUIPC to this app. One thing is the UTC - Flight Sim time which now is always 00:00:00 instead of the UTC _ Real World.Meanwhile I found a workaround to get the UTC time but this was not necessary before:Opening the FSUIPC wiondow / open MSFS / disconnect from SIM / Reconnect SIM.After that the connection gets established and I get the SIM time.I ask you to have a look at it and provide a fix. The necessary files (fsuip.log and fsuipc.ini) are attached.

There is also a minor issue in that FSUIPC7 tries to open a separate simconnect connection for AI traffic even when it failed to get its main connection. In the attached beta, I have changed to only get the AI connection once the main connection is obtained. This should also help, so please try this version.

Yes, my FS2020 takes a long time to start up. Abiut 6 m and 34 sec to the first menu. I do not know why it takes that long.

I will set it back to 330 though.
