:? I am so embarrassed now! I did read the user guide believe it or not, and got confused by - in the advanced one - the "all of the interesting options can be controlled through the Settings window". When you first load up FSX the first screen shows (on the LHS of the screen, from top to bottom), Home/Free Flight/Missions/Multiplayer/Pilot Records/Learning Center/Settings. So I looked in the Settings menus (Sound/Graphics/Controls etc) and was confused when I could not find FSUIPC in there! I did not realise that you had to set up a flight first, but rather looked to calibrate the Saitek yoke before all that with FSUIPC. Evidently, I was unclear what the "ready to fly" bit actually meant! Anyway, mea culpa. And very apologetic. Seems to work fine when a flight is running. Right, time to set up that yoke. See if I can do that without making an eijit of myself. Thanks Pete for your quick reply. Um, can we delete this thread to spare my future blushes?!

I recently purchased FSUIPC (mainly to use with a Saitek yoke setup), but am having problems using it with FSX. It does not show up at all in the "settings" menu in FSX (there is no "add-ons" tab). I have tried changing the firewall details, but to no avail. I initially tried it with FSX and SP1, then with SP2, and then reinstalled FSX alone. Have also tried reinstalling FSUIPC everytime but all without success. Hopefully, the logs below will help: FSUIPC install log: Installer for FSUIPC4.DLL version 4.26 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: ...
