Finally took the plunge and bought FSUIPC 4 registered version for FSX having used it in fs9 and prior for many years.
Finally worked out how to get the vis options to appear in the FSUIPC menu in FSX by changing the relevant setting in the .ini file.
However, the vsibility settings have no effect on FSX weather with ASE running or even without it (tried the vis graduation and the max surface layer vis settings and neither work).
Am i missing something on getting FSUIPC, FSX and Simconnect to talk together? Are there any problems with UAC/running priority of the various applications? (i run FSX without administrator rights in vista 32 home and assume FSX will load FSUIPC with the same rights as itself?)
Have made sure I hvae checked the boxes in FSUIPC to allow it to "change FS own weather"
Any ideas Pete?
