I checked all other units (4 to 16) and they are all empty. Another interesting point: I did a short test flight running ASA + FSX. once up in the air I loaded Squawkbox... It did not open and got stuck at initialising voice... I closed everything down, went back to the FSX.exe compatibility tag (I know it now) and re-clicked compatible XP. I Loaded FSX and then SB which opened and connected normally... bizarre Again thank you Pete for your time and big help, what a good service! Cheers Luc

got the mids and pids! Device 01 MID 1678 PID 242 Microsoft PC joystick driver Device 02 MID 1678 PID 250 Microsoft PC joystick driver Device03 MID 1678 PID 255 Microsoft PC joystick driver Re hardware, apart from a Logitech headset I have nothing else Thank you for all the hard work! Luc Luc

Found the compatibility box... I had to go and click on the .exe file itself not the icon on deskstop (mystery) and un-clicked "run this prog in compatibility mode" for XP. but I left "run this prog as an administrator" Luc

Good morning Peter, Do you ever sleep ? First test 8hZ I set joysticktimeout to 10, result NO FREEZE! I went up and down the "control sent when button pressed" list several times without any prob. I managed tro set 2 buttons on my Quadrant but when I tried to set a 3rd one FSUIPC did not recognize it (nothing appeared in the PREES box when pushing the button) I tried other buttons, nothing but still no freeze.

Thank you Peter, that was quick! So I did update to vers 4.562, first attempt gave me more time to look at buttons options but everything still froze after, say 1.5 mn. I did modify joysticktimeout in the following way: 75, 50, then 125, 150 and did not notice any significant change but still got more than a minute to browse through the buttons options before it froze, which is better than last night.

I went into the control pannel and clicked the troubleshoot button. Now Win7 says everything is OK. I did not load the CH device manager, just plugged in the devices which work very well with all aircrafts (so it seems) I have additional progs: ASA, FSC, FSFK Best regards, Luc

I am running FSX with acceleration on Win7. So far all went well but all of a sudden, when I open the FSUIPC menu to set a button or calibrate an axis, FSUIPC freezes after a couple of minutes even if I do nothing while looking at the options. The only way to get out is to kill FSX through the task manager. Luc

Problem solved thanks to Shaun Fletcher from Aerosoft. The programmes have to be "Run as administrator"... not obvious to a non technician like me ! http://www.molitor-home.de/FS/Forum/vieimed#p3755

Hi, I am unable to connect to these programmes. Here are the messages I am getting: - FSFK: error IPC timed out all retries - FS Commander: unable to connect to Flight simulator message # (no process response) I have the latest FSUIPC registered version (just bought it last week). I am running FSX on Win 7 home premium edition. FSX runs well with Vatsim SB, no problem there. Looking at the FSUIPC log I see a number of "NOT FOUND" lines... Can you help me ? best regards, Luc
