It seems to be the same problem and several different symptoms.

It is usually FSIUPC not correctly connected to the simulator.

It provokes the Aborted error, and the "Wrong airport" status.

@joefremont : you could add a status light somewhere on the client to check visually the MSFS and FSIUPC status, from the client point of view. I think it would resolve a lot of support tickets.

Ady, looking at your logs it looks like the client is unable to set the fuel level in the aircraft. The client is calling the sim to set a fuel level, then afterwords the fuel level is not changed.

I think in the next client (3.6) it is going to have to detect that more robustly, if at the beginning of the flight if after the client tries to set the fuel level, the level is not changed then the client will have to give the pilot a good warning and tell them to try changing the fuel interface or switch the fueling method to read only and not proceed with the flight until the client can set the fuel or is operating in a read only mode.
