P3Dv3 not displaying FSUIPC

[davidw4810]

Hi, I have done a clean win8.1 64bit install, P3Dv3 and FSUIPC4.946b

 

When I load P3Dv3 I cannot find FSUIPC, I can confirm the files are in the modules folder.

 

I have tried reinstalling, even in admin mode.

 

Also in the log file it gives me an error126 when trying to find SimConnectP3D2.dll

 

My OS in on the C drive and P3D in on a separate drive  E:\Prepar3D v3\.....

 

The log does register that it is trying to find E:\Prepar3d v3\Modules\SimConnectP3D2.dll but fails to connect

 

the other settings, hooks, direct calls to the sim are fine.

 

Any advice is welcomed

There is already a thread on this. Please use the same solution -- i.e. install SimConnect:

 

You'll find all the versions of Simconnect in the P3D "redist" folders. Try the Simconnect.msi from redist\Interface\FSX-SP2-XPACK, for example.

 

BTW I think you'll find you'll be needing at least the FSX-SP1 and FSX-SP2 SimConnects installed if you ever intend to use many FSX Addons with P3Dv3.

 

Meanwhile, could you please right-click on the SimConnectP3D2.DLL file and see if it says it is locked in its Properties? I still don't understand why Windows says it isn't there when FSUIPC tries to load it.
