  1. Again no "Addons menu"

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    Actually, I also thought that this local had to be changed to global for a remote connection? Do you find your remote application works with that set to "local" still?

    If you had set it to "Global" then installing FSUIPC4 (using my installer) would have actually fixed your XML file for you, as it looks for a "local" section and if it isn't present it adds one for you. If keeping "local" in works for remote clients, then it seems I'll have to make even more checks in the InstallerPlease let me know!

    Regards

    Pete

    Top job there Pete - I reset the local to global then reinstalled FSUIPC and the following secion was added to my SimConnect.xml:

    False

    Auto

    local

    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.

    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:

  4. Again no "Addons menu"

    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:

  10. Problems with BAV OSP in FSX

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    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.

  13. Problems with BAV OSP in FSX

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    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.

  15. fsx and users widefs and fsuipc

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    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?

  16. Cannot register WideFS

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    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

  18. Cannot register WideFS

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    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?

  21. Change of email

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    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.
