Hi Pete,
first, let me tell you that I am absolutely not sure, whether I have a problem with FSUIPC or not. It´s really strange, please see yourself... :
The main problem is that addon weather radar gauges such as the RealityXP Wx500 or the Simflyer MFD WXR (which is equipped with the Common Weather Radar by Florian Praxmarer) show strange results. The MFD WXR doesn´t work at all. So far I have tried out everything, but never had any luck. Within FSUIPC I changed several settings and even within the .ini files of the mentioned products I tried to change several parameters. So this was really an in-depth research for the strange error I am experiencing.
Here is a pic of what I mean:
So far I have asked for help in the RealityXP forum (see this thread: http://www.simforums.com/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=7028&PN=1 and in the Simflyer Forum (via PM). I also asked for help in several other forums in which I´m active. Although a lot of investigation was done, I had no luck of getting a reasonable answer. So you are my last chance... .
Something you should know:
I am a registered FSUIPC user and so far it never came to my mind that I have a problem with your product. Whenever I made changes to FSUIPC (e.g. "clear weather" or "default weather settings", ...) they were accurately displayed in Flight Simulator. However, there seems to be an in-depth problem which results in a communication error with FS. Of course, I am using the latest FSUIPC version available.
In spring, I purchased a new computer system and installed FS2004 on it. As I have tons of addons and AI traffic, I grabbed the whole content of the FS2004 folder from my old system and overwrote the content of the new FS2004 installation. This really went fine and also FSUIPC and the licence was copied without problems. Maybe this has something to do with the problem I´m experiencing.
