Yep, the Alt key brings up the top line menu bar, that is not normally present. First time I've seen it on FSX--yes, Add Ons is there and so is FUIPC4 and I will register shortly. I have to get my key code, etc and then I'll do so. How do I get the top line menu bar up to stay? Wow, what a day trying to stumble through this. Thanks for sticking with me. Regards, Jim Brock

Pete-- I opened FSX again. On the opening page, the menu items are: Home, Free Flight, Missions, Multiplayer,etc. No Add ons or Add ins. On the Home Page, there is another menu: News and Events, From the Team, Free Flight, etc. Again, I just can’t find the add-ons selection that you tell me I should be able to find. I do feel like a fool. Jim

Pete, Dealing with us has got to drive you nutty at times. I sent all three again to be sure that I sent what you wanted. I apologize for sending a file to the webmaster. I closed FSX, opened and closed it again to be sure, and copied the log file.

Pete, I found a MS website for add ons by using the search function in FSX. The simcom site is listed along with many others. I opened the Module files and copied everything on the Notepad and am pasting them here: FSX Modules folder already exists.

Hi Pete, I looked there first. There are 8 files in the module folder. 4 are PDF's. 2 are Text Documents. 1 is FSUIPC4.DLL. 1 is FSUIPC4 configurations settings. I could find no log files. Jim

Good Day to you. I didn't expect such a quick response, so thanks in advance. I am ignorant enough that I can't find the log files. I searched with no luck and I went through files via Windows Explorer to no avail. I expect I'm having similar problems with Weather Maker RX (That's how I found you and your application.) since it is installed but not operating with FSX. Jim Brock

I just purchased and installed FSUIPC4. I can find it in FSX folder and file list. When I open FSX and press ALT, no add ons show up as described in the User Guide, so I can't register and put FSUIPC4 to work.
