You need to retain the XML file exactly as supplied and ADD a new section for your remote connection. The part from to <\SimConnect.Comm> needs to be intact, as it was. Add another copy to modify for your remote use.
Actually, I also thought that this local had to be changed to global for a remote connection?
I'm still complaining to MS about this misleading part of the documentation.
Pete
Thanks Pete - at least I now know (sort of :shock: ) how to get myself sorted out. Much appreciated.
-
Having said all of the above - clearly this is NOT a problem with FSUIPC - so I'm sorry (again) to have troubled you about it Pete.
I've got myself sorted out by installing 3rd party program on my Vista machine and removing the offending SimConnect.xml file - now of course EVERYTHING works. Still strange though :roll:
-
Hi Pete - I MUST apologise for yesterday - trying to sort out my problem whilst suffering a migraine is not recommended. When EVERYTHING I wrote became unitelligible I realised I'd best just delete everything and retire hurt to my bed. :shock:
Anyway I started today early (having slept most of yesterday afternoon and evening) on the quest to sort my FSX out.
This is my installation - running FSX on Vista business 32 bit (server) networked to a WInXP (Client) machine using a Netgear DG834 Firewall router. I can confirm that SimConnect is working correctly as the 3rd party program I'm testing is connected and fully functional over the network with FSX.
Here's what I have done so far:
1. Re-installed SimConnect & run the repair utility in FSX.
2. Switched off my anti-virus program
3. Installed FSUIPC 4.1.0.3
Sadly still no Add ons menu.
Here's my FSUIPC install log:

Just forget it Pete - sorry to have bothered you.
-
Thanks anyway Pete - I'll just keep going along as I am.
-
double posted - sorry
-

Thanks Pete - just by way of an update, I've found that I can make the OSP work together with FSX now by changing when I start it up. I've advised the dep CEO of BAV about this problem and of this thread so now it's up to them. I know I am not the only person with this problem.
Again thanks for your time.
-
Well - perhaps 'chuck it back' was a bit on the loose side - suffice it to say that I've placed the ball back in their court :)
When you say is FSUIPC running - I have to say yes it is - it is selectable from the Add-ons menu and I was able to register it without a problem. I registered FSX successfully without any issues at all. As I said, when I got my new machine (you may recall we touched on it on the RC5 group) I just installed FSX and the BAV OSP to eliminate any extraneous programs, but still it wouldn't play.
The log file is attached which I believe indicates there's not a problem (I hope).
I appreciate your time, but as you suspect it's something to do with the OSP itself.
Thanks again.
-
Thanks Pete - fyi OSP is Offline Schedules Program - and having seen mention of it before on this forum I rather thought you'd had some dealings with it seeing as how it 'uses' FSUIPC - not to worry - I've chucked the ball back to BA Virtual.
-
Thanks for that Pete.
-
This problem has been asked about on the BAV forum and there doesn't appear to be a resolution other than to suggest that FSUIPC may have the answer.
I can happily run the BAV OSP with FS9 - when it starts up the information in the Flight Monitor Window shows [FS2004 FSUIPC3.719].
When I run the OSP in FSX I get the information in the Flight Monitor Window [unknown2 FSUIPC4.07]. Shortly thereafter the message:
"Another Flight Monitoring is already collecting your flight data, aborting" - clicking OK leaves me with a warning message "Unable to load flight plan".
When I first ran FSX in early December the OSP worked fine - the ONLY change I had made was to change my anti-virus software (from AVG to Avast) - so when I reinstalled FSX on my brand new machine I was anxious to try the OSP and FSX in it's 'raw' state - but got the same error message.
I've been told that I had to delete my fsuipc.ini file after updating FSUIPC which I've also done.
So can you tell me if this problem is an OSP one or an FSUIPC one please? I suspect the OSP as afa I know nothing has been done to it to account for FSX, but a lot of people seem to be using it without any problem.
Thanks.

Thanks Pete - I guess I'll not be the only one to be in this kind of situaltion.

Hi Pete
I'm just a little confused (nothing new there I hear you say) but I'm sure you'll square me away.
My WideFS was purchased in August this year but FSUIPC is a lot older - do I buy an upgrade for WideFS and a new FSUIPC please? My confusion is that the Bundle cost for a new WideFS and FSUIPC would appear to be the same as the method I outlined above, unless I'd qualify for an upgrade for both?
Thanks. There's always one isn't there?
-
Yes, it does actually say in the documentation (in the Registration part of FSUIPC's user guide) that your identification details need to be the same for both parts. Sorry..
Thanks Pete - still waiting for simMarket - but they're pretty quick usually. Trouble is that using the same email address for the WideFs wouldn't have given me the emal with the key - I DID wonder if I'd cause a problem :D
-
Sorry Pete - hadn't realised you didn't 'do' keys - I've contacted simMarket.
-
Hi Pete
Following our discussion on the RC Beta group I purchased Wide FS but sadly cannot register it.
The details I received to register uses (correctly) my new email address but when I bring up the Register Wide FS page, my old (now defunct) email address is showing (greyed out) and I cannot change it - putting in the supplied key I get a msge saying it's not a valid key.
Can you help me please?
-
Thanks for that Pete. :)
-
I just bougt TrackIR4 and was having the same issue with F9 - thanks for pointing the solution out guys :)
-
Interesting that the latest version is smaller than the version I had before :D
Anyway - I've changed my email address and the registration details in FSUIPC shows my old one (naturally). I thought I'd be cute and change the reg file but of course that didn't work. Do I need to change it and if so how please?
Thanks.
-
Great - thanks very much Pete. :D
-
I too would like to be able to have reverse thrust using the mixture lever - can anyone help please?

Well congrats on the 1000 posts :D

EEK - THAT'S what you look like is it George :shock:
Again no "Addons menu"
in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

Top job there Pete - I reset the local to global then reinstalled FSUIPC and the following secion was added to my SimConnect.xml:
Starting up FSX and the Add ons menu is present and FSX is communicating with my Client OK.
I should add that running the file as it was with local (apart from killing FSUIPC) I was able to connect over the network OK.
As you say - the documentation needs to be a bit more explicit.
Thank you again.
