I created the simconnect.ini file like it was described in FSX help. It contained the following: [simConnect] level=Verbose console=No file=\Modules\SimConnect%01u.Log file_max_index=9 I placed it in Mydocuments/Flight Simulator X Files.

I have created the simconnect.ini files like you asked, however no logs are being created.

I have tried to follow the directions to delete the Simconnect .dll, however each time I get an error message saying that I need permission to do so. The part that I find odd here is that I am logged in as the admin on my computer. It's listed in the files security settings that I have rights to the file, however it still gives me that error message. Another thing I found odd is that there are two simconnect folders. I am assuming this is because I started out with the standard version of FSX and I have since upgraded to FSX Deluxe. However, maybe this presents part of the problem? I have attached the latter of the two simconnect .dll file since this is probably the one that is relevant to the FSX version I am running now. Let me know if this is what you needed or if it was something else. [bINARY DLL DELETED]

Thanks for your reply Pete. I looked in the FSX modules folder, there is no FSUIPC4.LOG file to be found there. I have downloaded and installed the SP1 update from Microsoft. I have copied the install log, I believe this is what you were asking for: Installer for FSUIPC4.DLL version 4.20 Looking in registry for FSX install path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator\10.0 Parameter"SetupPath" SetupPath="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\" Checking version of FSX.EXE: ...

Any ideas to what the problem may be?

Vista. Installed FSUIPC as admin. All firewalls and anti-virus software disabled. Re-booted several times after install with no luck. I'm really not sure what the issue is. Like I said earlier, that .DLL file is in the modules folder of FSX, I'm assuming thats where it belongs?

Thanks for replying Jim. When I downloaded FSUIPC, I sent it a FS downloads folder I created on my desktop. I then extracted the files and ran the install. Everything seemed to work itself out ok and I got the message after the install was completed that everything was installed correctly and the files could be found in the Modules folder of FSX. I have checked in the .dll file is in there, although I'm not certain thats where it's supposed to be. Any ideas as to whats wrong?

I have downloaded FSUIPC4 in an effort to get my recently purchased FDC Live Cockpit add-on for FSX to work. I have tried numerous times to get this to work but for some reason it does not. First, I never see the "add-ons" tag in the flight-mode screen in FSX. Second, every time I try to get Live Cockpit to connect with FSX i get an error saying "IPC REQUEST CONTAINS BAD DATA-CHECK FSUIPC VERSION." I have removed and redownloaded several times. I have disabled all firewalls. I have downloaded the Microsoft SP1. I also reinstalled Live Cockpit several times. I contacted Aerosofts service department to try and find a solution and none of them seemed to work. What can I do?
