.netframework error

[Sherman M. Kaplan]

First, let me say thank you for an excellent addon for our hobby.

I have the latest version of Plan-G and connect to fsx via FSUIPC VERSION 4.5.3.0

Every now and again I get the following pop up message while connected and in flight:
An unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will be shut down immediately.

I click on the "continue button" and everything is fine, though the popup may occur again.
This seems to happen when I am flying MP using FSINN and Copilot.
I suppose I can simply delete and reinstall the net framework modules (I have the latest 3.5 SP1), but is there something else that might be involved. Thanks for your help....again, great product.

Is there anything indicated in the log file? What were you doing at the time?

[Sherman M. Kaplan]

hi Tim....I am inclined to think that this issue is related to Plan-G and FSINN operating simultaneously. I just finished a flight using PLan-G...buit, I was not on FSINN...and there was no netframe work issue.
I have not checked the log...and have my event log disabled in XP Home...thanks for your attention...great program!

I meant the Plan-G log file (Plan-G_Log.txt)

Also, which threw the exception? Plan-G or FSInn/FSCopilot?

Haven't seen that error before. You could try setting the SimConnect connection type to IPv4 - that seems to be more reliable than the default (which is Named Pipe). You'll also need to set the IP address to blank, and the port number to 0

[Sherman M. Kaplan]

thanks, Tim...this is getting a little beyond my computer knowledge...I want to be very careful before changing anything. I  know that simconnect can be very touchy...but, if I feel gutsy enough....where do I find the text string to change?

Sherm

[jschall]

...where do I find the text string to change?

No text editing here, Sherm. Just set your connection options in Global\Options\FS Connection

Here is my simconnect.cfg

[SimConnect]
Protocol=IPv4
Address=127.0.0.1
Port=
MaxReceiveSize=4096
DisableNagle=0

Tim, you mean I should eliminate 127.0.0.1 as my default IP address?
And, Jeff....I am not sure where to find global\options\fsconnection

Sorry to put you guys to all this trouble....I do appreciate your time... and knowledge

[tim arnot]

Tim, you mean I should eliminate 127.0.0.1 as my default IP address?

Correct. But in Options, NOT the cfg file.

And, Jeff....I am not sure where to find global\options\fsconnection

See pages 4 and 5 in the manual.
