[Solved] FSUIPC7 beta version 7.5.7c now available
** Now updated to 7.5.7d **
Please find attached the latest FSUIPC7 beta version, 7.5.7d. This version contains the following changes:
- Corrects a bug that could cause a CTD when logging of Extras enabled and using a PMDG aircraft
- Changed to only open an AI simconnect connection only once the main simconnect connection has been obtained. This may help some connection issues,
- New ini parameter ExtWndParent, used to set the parent of external windows (create by the Lua Wnd library, and used to log lvar values). The values are FSUIPC (to set parent to FSUIPC's main window) and NULL.(no parent). When not set, the MSFS main window is used as the parent. Note that setting this parameter can cause issues with the Wnd windows not being kept on top of the main MSFS window, but can prevent some issues with hot-keys/buttons not being seen by some other apps (reporte only in MSFS and when using Flow Pro).
- Added new menu option Assignments -> Reload, which reloads all FSUIPC assignments.
To update, simply download the attached exe file and use this to replace the one in your FSUIPC7 installation folder.
Any issues, please post in this topic.
Regards,
John
Hi John,
Tried the new 7.5.7c. beta in FS2024. When I used the new Reload feature and then minimized the FSUIPC7 window, all the WND windows that were open closed. If I then maximized the FSUIPC7 window again, those WND windows reappeared. So it seems that the WND windows, which are created with auto loading Lua scripts, open and close with the basic FSUIPC7 window.
Thanks,
Al
Hi, is 7.5.6 still the Official Release?
Or is there an Official 7.5.7?
I can see only 7.5.6 mentioned at the top of the FSUIPC 7 page

There is not an Official FSUIPC version 7.5.7 at this time -- just a beta version. As I recall, when a new official FSUIPC7 version is available you should get a popup indicating that when the "old" FSUIPC7 version loads.

First, this is nothing to do with the Reload feature - you should see the same regardless of Reload or not.
And I don't think the windows are closed - they are most likely being hidden by the MSFS main window.
But there is a change here, and this is due to the FSUIPC7 main window now being the parent on Wnd windows, whereas previously it was MSFS. I have updated the beta now to have no parent, which should prevent them being hidden when FSUIPC7 is iconized. So please download and try the new version - it has been updated in the first post (version the same, build date updated).
Btw, are you showing your windows with the WND_TOPMOST flag? e.g.
w = wnd.open(...) wnd.show(w, WND_TOPMOST)
If not, you should do that.
Note that there is still an issue with the lvar logging window (which is also a wnd window) which doesn't seem to want to stay on top, but this is also present in the current release. I will take a look at this.

Hi John,
I tried FSUIPC7 ver 7.5.7d and the Lua scripts window minimizing problem seems to be fixed. I did not add the new ExtWndParent parameter to the FSUIPC7.ini file so I assume MSFS is the parent window. And yes, I have always used the WND_TOPMOST flag.
Thanks for the help,
Al
