It should be there still. Note that all documents, including this one, have now moved to your Windows Documents folder, in a subfolder called FSUIPC6. Please check there. The installation document should tell you where things are installed - though I'm not sure this one is mentioned (I'll check). The fixed version is no longer included as it was redundant.

Unable to Register WideFS7 with new FSUPIC6
John Dowson replied to Tony Goswell's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Hi Tony, not sure what the issue is, but I'll investigate. For now, I've PM'ed you a key file that you can use. John -
First, you posted in the FAQ sub-forum. Please post in the main support forum, or you post may be missed (or deleted). I have moved your post for you. There are also many posts with the same problem and solutions - did you look? Please try to do so before posting, as most problems have been asked before (and many times...!). For example, for your problem, please see these posts: and also this sticky post if you are using the latest FSX-SE beta (you don't mention which sim you are using): If thats not your issue, then we need to see your install log.

Unable to Register WideFS7 with new FSUPIC6
John Dowson replied to Tony Goswell's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Yes, sorry about that - thats actually the version of FSUIPC, not the version of the installer. FSUIPC6 hasn't changed, only the installer. I don't think the version number of the installer is visible or even logged at the moment. I'll rectify that. I'm glad it's now working. Cheers, John -
Moving old profiles to FSUIPC V6
John Dowson replied to vgbaron's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Yes, thats the way to do it. The FSUIPC6.ini will be a default/empty ini created when you ran P3D. John -
Unable to Register WideFS7 with new FSUPIC6
John Dowson replied to Tony Goswell's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Sorry, just re-read your post and you seem to be experiencing a different issue, as it is saying that your WideFS7 registration details are not valid. Try with the updated installer anyway, and I'll see if I can retrieve your WideFS7 key details to check here. John -

Unable to Register Widefs using FSUIPC6
John Dowson replied to kgmann's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
If that is your issue (different name and/or email), it should now be fixed in the latest installer. Please download and try again. John -
Unable to Register Widefs using FSUIPC6
John Dowson replied to kgmann's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Different name/address for the different keys? If so, see my previous post.... -
Unable to Register Widefs using FSUIPC6
John Dowson replied to kgmann's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Are you both using a different name and/or email address for each product? If so, I can see the problem and will fix it shortly. The installer is also writing the WideFS name/address to the key file for FSUIPC6 instead of the correct ones. You can manually change this by editing your FSUIPC6.key file, and put the correct Name and Address for FSUIPC6. Otherwise, I'll upload a new installer shortly with this corrected. Sorry about this.... John -

Could you let me know your order numbers (not other details please - I can retrieve them!) and I'll check your keys here... -
Unable to Register Widefs using FSUIPC6
John Dowson replied to kgmann's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Are you entering both FSUIPC6 and WIDEFS keys and clicking the 'Register' button? If you do this, you should get two pop-ups, confirming registration success or otherwise for each key. What do you see? It doesn't matter - it will just remove and re-install. There were some changes made to the installer earlier today, to handle WideFS registration without FSUIPC6 registration. I've just checked here and registering just one or the other seems to be functioning correctly. Could you try downloading the latest installer and running again please. Thanks, John -
If thats a message from the add-on, then you need the support of the add-on provider. Is FSUIPC4 installed correctly - can you see it in your Add-on menu? One thing to note is that if your sim is started with admin privileges (as it usually is if installed in your Programs folder), then any 3rd party software that communicates with FSUIPC must also be started with the same privileges, otherwise it cannot connect.

Sorry, not possible. It should be available via SimMarket later today, please be patient.... John -
FSUIPC Documents for FSUIPC6
John Dowson replied to Delphi's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Please see the installation manual for details on what is installed and where. When you uninstall FSUIPC5 it will remove the documents installed by that version. As you have expanded the Lua examples, it will not pick this up so will not remove these and therefore not remove the FSUIPC documents folder that is under your Modules folder. You can manually remove this if you like. For FSUIPC6, documents are now installed in your Windows 'Documents' folder, in a subfolder called FSUIPC6. John -
I've now updated (and uploaded) the installer to allow you to only register WideFS7. I'd still like to update it to make it easier to use, maybe by pre-populating the details if the installer finds an existing key file, but that will have to wait until things have calmed down a bit.... John
-
For the time being, I've updated the Installation manual to include details of how to register WideFS7 without an FSUIPC6 key. As I said, I will correct the installer for this use-case over the coming days. Sorry that I missed this! Regards, John

Joy name issue after Windows update
John Dowson replied to cellular55's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Thanks Pete, was just about to look into this but you beat me to it! -
Keys for WideFS7 are valid for FSUIPC6, so no need to re-purchase. John

First, you are hijacking an unrelated post - in future please create a new topic if there isn't an existing (newish) topic that is relevant. Well, that depends upon your problem! You install FSUIPC4 in the sim, and you can install before or after you install your 737NG. Folks are using FSUIPC4 with the iFly 7s7NG (e.g. see You can always download and install an unregistered version. Then take a look at the provided documents to see the extra facilities provided by registration to determine if you would like to purchase a license or not (as no refunds are given). John
-
Yes, sorry. You should be able to register your WideFS7 license without having an FSUIPC6 key. I will update the installer to allow this. Glad you found the solution though! John

First, you posted in the FAQ section. Please always request support via the main Support forum. I have moved your post for you. You can download from here: FSUIPC4.zip So you have downloaded it and ran the installer? To register, you need to use all 3 details (name, email address, key) EXACTLY as specified in your simmarket account - copy and paste to be sure. There have been no changes in FSUIPC4 since February 2018, so its probably the same version. Not sure what you mean by this...the installer won't copy the dll if you have the same or a later version already installed. Note that if you are running the new FSX-SE beta, you should read this post: and maybe also this: John

Moving old profiles to FSUIPC V6
John Dowson replied to vgbaron's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Hi Vic, please see the installation manual which comes in the zip with the installer - it should answer all your questions. Basically you have several options: - you can keep your FSUIPC5 installation for P3Dv4, and just install FSUIPC6 for P3Dv5, in which case you can copy across and rename your .ini file, as well as any macro, lua or other auxiliary files that you use - you can install a single copy of FSUIPC6 for both sims. If you do this, FSUIPC5 will be uninstalled but you settings will be preserved. You can choose to install in the same directory as you FSUIPC5 installation, in which case you just need to rename your FSUIPC5.ini file to FSUIPC6.ini, If you choose another directory (which is recommended), then you need to move and rename your .ini as well as move any other macro, lua, etc files - you can install separate copies of FSUIPC6 for each sim; do this by running the installer twice, and selecting to install into one of the sims when you do. Preserve or copy your settings by copying and renaming your ini, as above. Cheers, John -
Joy name issue after Windows update
John Dowson replied to cellular55's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Hi Joe, yes, it should be possible to re-map them, and relatively straightforward if you are using the JoyLetters facility (see the User manual if you are not familiar). If you could post your .ini. .log and .Joyscan.csv files I'll take a look for you. Cheers, John
