Is there a Simconnect.dll file in that folder referred to in the FSX Help Announcement?
Search for a file "simconnect.xml" in the Documents and Settings folder. If you find one, delete it.
Otherwise, I'm sorry, I have no idea. We have exhausted all the things I can think of.
Regards
Pete
There is a simconnect.dll in this location,
C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.FlightSimulator.SimConnect_67c7c14424d61b5b_10.0.60905.0_x-ww_429211e9
I searched for a .xml in the documents and settings but found none.

Okay. Let me know if you make any progress please.

I tried the full reinstall but it didnt help with the problem. It didnt even help with the gauges on the aircraft which makes me think that i have a crummy simconnect file, or something similar. What could be causing this?
-
I finished the repair and then restarted fsx but nothing happened."Nothing" happened? You mean FSX didn't load, or just that Simconnect still didn't load anything?
i meant that simconnect didnt load, the add-on menu wasnt there.
I tried downloading and installing the version 4.064 version of fsuipc but it didnt work either.When you say "didn't work" do you mean the Installer didn't work? If so, where's the Install log, please?I meant that everything installed normally but it didnt work in fsx.
And for some reason the simconnect.ini isnt making more than one simconnect log in my C:\ root. I deleted the first one it made then restarted fsx and i saw that it made the new log but after exiting and restarting fsx, it failed to create a new log. aka simconnect1.logSo there's no "file_next_index= ..." parameter added to your Simconnect.INI file? That's where it keeps track of the Log file numbering.Well i have that line it it,
[simConnect]
level=Verbose
console=No
file=C:\SimConnect%01u.Log
file_max_index=9
any suggestions?Sorry, I'm all out of ideas. Most certainly Simconnect, that vital part of FSX without which add-ons won't work, is not running on your system. Why, I have no idea. Yours is the first case I've come across where a re-install using methods given doesn't succeed. I'm afraid you now only have recourse to Microsoft Support.Please send all these results to tell_fs@microsoft.com in any case, explaining all you have explained to me. But don't expect a reply from that direction. For actual tech support on FSX you will need to contact MS support.

Thanks for all your help, maybe an update will fix this. Ill try a full uninstall and reinstall later.

Latest version of what? If you mean FSUIPC, can you check the Version number please? "Latest version" means nothing on its own, it just means "the latest I have downloaded".
Yes i meant that i have the latest released, version 4.06
So, SimConnect isn't loading anytrhing at all.Thats what i was thinking
Ah! That apparently doesn't work! Please refer to the FSX Help Announcement above. You have to delete a folder first, else the repair won't touch SimConnect. That's why I posted the FSX Help Announcement in the first place, and why I referred you to it!

Yes when i reinstalled i just deleted the file, not the folder. I went back and deleted the folder, which for some reason didnt have the file in it. As I write i am repairing fsx again and will post again with an update on the situation.
Thanks for all your help,

I have the latest version, and i tired the log and got this,
0.00000 SimConnect version 0x00000002
Thats it. The method I used to reinstall was inserting the disc and selecting repair.

ok i need help as well, i have the same problem with the add-on menu as everyone else. But the funny thing is, i didnt get a warning on start-up of fsx after the installation of fsuipc. I went and checked if it was in the list of certificates but it wasnt, not even the untrusted list. I have tried reinstalling, and even repairing fsx by putting in the discs and selecting repair, but it didnt work.
Come to think of it i dont get the warning messages when i install aircraft from fs9 (such as the carenado). According to the read-me files of the planes, there are suppost to be warning messages for the gauges, but i dont get them which leads to the gauges not working. Please help.
Sounds like SimConnect isn't installed correctly. Please see the FSX help Announcement at the top of the Forum.

I tried reinstalling, it didnt work, i dont have any antivirus or firewalls on. And what help what loging it do?

FSUIPC 4.0 - Addons menu not appearing

YES! :D
I figured out my problem,
After many trial and error sessions i went ahead and repaired xp after discovering i had a problem with the Cryptographic Service which is why fsx would not create the certificates. Right from the horses mouth,
Cryptographic Service
"Provides three management services: Catalog Database Service, which confirms the signatures of Windows files; Protected Root Service, which adds and removes Trusted Root Certification Authority certificates from this computer; and Key Service, which helps enroll this computer for certificates. If this service is stopped, these management services will not function properly. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start."
I hope this will help others whom are having the same problem as I. Although you do not have to go as far as a repair to fix the service here is a link for some other options. (that, unfortunently for me, found after the repair :evil: )
