Roman, thanks but I've sorted in now. In the box that comes up after installation instead of selecting "check existing registration" to which the answer will be that there isn't one, you have to select "enter new registration" when up comes a box into which you enter your key number. The wording is wrong and totally misleading. I wasn't looking for a new registration input! Anyway, all's well now and thanks for your helpful responses. Iain

Hi Roman, thanks for your response. I tried downloading FSUIPC4 again and re-installing it but I had the same result and no key file was placed in the modules folder. I raised a ticket at SimMarket and they replied saying there is no re-install key and told me to do what I have already tried. So, I am getting nowhere! Iain Smith

I recently had to re-install FSX Steam version and after I had installed FSUIPC 4.948 I confidently selected to check existing registration, as I had purchased this in April 2012. Imagine then my surprise to be told that registration was cancelled or did not check! There was no way I could see of challenging this or entering my key. I clicked OK and that was it - no further interaction. What do I do now please? Iain Smith

I posted my question on this forum, not intending to upset anyone and certainly not being critical of FSUIPC, nor indeed, any of the programmes involved. I was merely seeking information/assistance and explaining what I had done so far. I apologise if, inadvertently, I raised anyone's blood pressure.

Right, as I'm now using the current version 3.93 I assume that it's all right to post this - especially as it's registered and paid for? When I did a search on the Radar Contact forum for "FSUIPC_WAIT" I found eight threads, excluding my own, relating to this issue going back to 2006. In five of those the response from John Dekker was to ask which version of FSUIPC was being used and if it wasn't the latest he advised going to that. The implication here is that he believes FSUIPC is the key to this problem. Also, a respondent to my post said he had believed this problem had been solved as it hadn't happened to him for a long time but he had just gone to FSUIPC 3.93 and it had then happened on his next two flights. So forgive me if I got the impression that FSUIPC was regarded as the culprit but I think many people reading what I had read would think the same. After all this I still do not have a means of solving this problem - the suggestions made in response to my post didn't work. Others seem to be able to ok the message and RC carries on. Not in my case as the message keeps coming back - unless I've got to be a bit more patient and keep ok-ing until I've cleared a backlog? Anyway, don't you worry about it Mr Dowson - after all, it's only Flight Simulator. Iain Smith

In FS9, when using Radar Contact and Active Sky Advanced on some flights, after about 30 to 40 mins I'll notice that RC has frozen. By going to Window mode and minimising FS I find a message which reads "fsuipc_wait can't get D008 to change from 24032671 always 24032671." The number is always 8 digits but not always the same. If I ok the message it goes away but re-appears about 30 seconds later and will keep doing this. However, RC cannot be re-started and the only way to continue the flight is without it. This has happened with version 3.8.1 and earlier. I haven't tried it with 3.93. It only seems to happen when using ASA. I have posted about this on both the Active Sky and Radar Contact forums but neither programme maker wants to admit being the cause and both blame FSUIPC. Can you tell me what the problem is, please and advise any known fix? Iain Smith

Thanks for your reply Pete. The version I am using is 3.5.5.3. Having checked that FS9 is closing down correctly and observing that the INI file did not have and entry for AdvDisplayHotKey I deleted the INI and the log files, re-started FS9, put in my hot key setting again and now it is saved everytime! OK so I had to reset all the other changes in FSUIPC bit there weren't too many. All OK now and thanks for your help. Iain

(Thought I'd posted this question a few days ago but it doesn't show up) With the latest (beta) FSUIPC if I set a key to call up the window for use with Radar Contact it only lasts for a session, it is not saved. When I start a new FS session I have to set it all over again. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong? Iain
