Hi Pete I have solved the problem now. The reason off the problem was a bad installation of FSX. You realy have to be carefull, when you install FSX in an another place, than surgested when you install FSX. Keld Mogensen

Have tried a fresh new download of SP1, had the same thought.But no, it didn't work either. Regards Keld

Hi Pete I have now tried to uninstall SP1, and when starting up FSX i suddenly had the Add-on my menu. ThenI re-installed SP1 and Add-on was gone. I then, as you suggested, deleted the second folder, uninstalled/reinstall and unfortunately the add-on was missing. So for now I will use FSX without SP1. It's a shame, but thats life. I'm disappointed to have use money on FSX, and then it don't work proporly, so I have to use my good and old FS2002. I have sent a mail to Microsoft about my problem and my disappointment over there product. Regards Keld Mogensen

Hi Pete Thank you for the quick reply. I have checked the version number on the second folder and it matches the versionnumber on my FSX.exe

Hi Pete I have now used so much time to get FSUIPC4 working in my FSX, so I'm nearly giving up. I have the same problem as a lot of other FSX-er, that ADD-ON is'nt showing up in the menu line in top of FSX. Tried everything, turned firewall off, clean start-up, use lot of time reading fora. Something is wrong with the simconnect I believe. There is a thing though, do I have to install the SDK part of Microsoft Flightsimulator FSX from the cd-rom, to have simconnect working? I show you some logs, that maybe is usefull. ********* FSUIPC4, Version 4.20 by Pete Dowson ********* User Name="" User Addr="" FSUIPC4 not user registered WIDEFS7 not user registered, or expired
