And that fixed it! Not sure how it happened in the first place; must be my special genius for that sort of thing. Anyway, thanks very much for your assistance, Pete! Cheers John

Hi all, I have much the same problem. This appeared after I hadn't used FSX/FSUIPC for about a month or so, and hadn't added any new add-ons in the meantime. I get the following message: Flight Simulator has detected a problem with a third party software (add-on): Name: FSUIPC4 DLL: FS new universal IPC interface Version 4.974 Company: Peter L. Dowson File: Modules\FSUIPC4.dll If I try to run FSX with FSUIPC, the program immediately crashes. The FSUIPC4.log reads: ********* FSUIPC4, Version 4.974 (24th February 2018) by Pete Dowson ********* Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit reported as Build 15063, Release ID: 1703 (OS 10.0) fsx.exe version = 10.0.62615.0 Running inside FSX Steam Edition on Windows 10 Module base=58B60000 User Name="John New" User Addr="johngnew@gmail.com" FSUIPC4 Key is provided WIDEFS7 not user registered, or expired 16 System time = 14/04/2020 18:17:40 16 FLT path = "C:\Users\John\Documents\Flight Simulator X Files\" 16 ------ Module Version Check ------ 16 acontain.dll: 10.0.62615.0 16 api.dll: 10.0.62615.0 16 controls.dll: 10.0.62615.0 16 fs-traffic.dll: 10.0.62615.0 16 G3D.dll: 10.0.62615.0 16 language.dll: 10.0.62615.0 16 sim1.dll: 10.0.62615.0 16 visualfx.dll: 10.0.62615.0 31 weather.dll: 10.0.62615.0 31 window.dll: 10.0.62615.0 31 ---------------------------------- 47 NOTE: SimConnect Steam is supported, but it isn't installed. 78 NOTE: SimConnect Acc/SP2 Oct07 is supported, but it isn't installed. 109 Trying to connect to SimConnect SP1 May07 ... 109 FS path = "D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\" 469 ---------------------- Joystick Device Scan ----------------------- 469 Product= Saitek Pro Flight Quadrant 469 Manufacturer= Saitek 469 Vendor=06A3, Product=0C2D (Version 2.1) 469 GUIDs returned for product: VID_06A3&PID_0C2D: 469 GUID= {B8736240-B34E-11E7-8002-444553540000} 469 Details: Btns=9, POVs=(0, 0, 0, 0), Cal=x00000000, Max=R0,U0,V0,X255,Y255,Z255 469 Product= VKBsim Gladiator 469 Manufacturer= www.vkb-sim.pro www.forum.vkb-sim.pro © Alex Oz 2012-2016 469 Vendor=231D, Product=0121 (Version 24.1) 469 GUIDs returned for product: VID_231D&PID_0121: 469 GUID= {B87250D0-B34E-11E7-8001-444553540000} 469 Details: Btns=29, POVs=(0, 0, 0, 0), Cal=x00000000, Max=R1023,U2047,V1023,X2047,Y2047,Z1023 469 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 484 Device acquired for use: 484 Joystick ID = 1 (Registry okay) 484 1=Saitek Pro Flight Throttle Quadrant 484 1.GUID={B8736240-B34E-11E7-8002-444553540000} 484 Device acquired for use: 484 Joystick ID = 0 (Registry okay) 484 0=VKBsim Gladiator 484 0.GUID={B87250D0-B34E-11E7-8001-444553540000} 484 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 500 LogOptions=00000000 00000001 516 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 516 ------ Setting the hooks and direct calls into the simulator ------ 516 --- CONTROLS timer memory location obtained ok 516 --- SIM1 Frictions access gained 516 --- FS Controls Table located ok 516 --- Installed Mouse Macro hooks ok. 516 --- Wind smoothing fix is fully installed 516 --- SimConnect intercept for texts and menus option is off 516 --- All links checked okay 516 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 516 Failed on SimConnect_Open, return = 0x80070057: FSUIPC4 cannot operate! 516 ... check whether you have a SimConnect.dll in your Modules folder.

I'm a registered FSUIPC user and have run it for years without a problem. I've tried the solutions posted above without any luck (and I do not have a SimConnect.dll in my Modules folder. Any ideas? (please be patient with me, I'm a bit of a computer idiot).
