Many thanks for the reply Pete. This has turned out to be sincerely one of those ‘Senior Moments’, I am glad my daughter is not here otherwise she would have started browsing catalogues for ‘those homes’. I again downloaded 3.999y5 and then moved the Dll into modules and I allowed it to overwrite the file in there. I started FS9 and it loaded okay no warning messages and the Squawkbox module is showing again. As a test I opened the copy of Plan G direct from my PC and it opened, connected and linked to FS9 without any problems. I then closed it down and started the laptop and opened WideFS and it connected with FS9. I then started Plan G on the laptop and low and behold it connected with FS9 on the PC. So in short what the problem has been all day is beyond me; perhaps I have got more than a little mixed up with versions of FSUIPC and which one I have installed or thought I had installed, anyway all is well again in this household. So no ‘home’ for this aged flier just yet, a friend who is in such a place told me the other day that he thought Matron not allowing sharp objects was bad enough until news broke that the tunnel had been discovered. Thanks again for your timely help. Regards Peter.

Good Afternoon Pete, Perhaps a slightly related problem, though being well over 70 years young I admit that a lot of this technical stuff is well over my head. Yesterday [16th January] I purchased via Simflight the WideFS; my plan is to run FS2004 on my main PC with windows XP [sP3] and run Plan G on my Laptop with Windows 7. I purchased WideFS okay and obtained the ‘key’, I registered it by downloading FSUIPC 3.999w and using the installer, everything works fine. WideFS works and connects from the laptop to FS9 on the PC. I have set up Plan G on the laptop and have ‘pointed it’ at FS 9 on the PC and built the database, Plan G also connects to the internet though not linking with FS 9. The problem I have now with FSUIPC is when I start FS9 it loads and after it loads it displays an error message: The SquawkBox module was unable to start because FSUIPC could not be initialized. Ensure FSUIPC is properly installed and re-start Flight Simulator to try again. I also notice for some reason the Squawkbox module is now missing from ‘Modules’ in FS 9. The problem I have is to problem solve why Plan G is not linking with FS 9 and I am wondering if it is somehow related to this error message on start up of FS 9 claiming that FUSIPC is not properly installed /initialized ? I have tried downloading and re-installing FSUIPC 3.999w I have tried downloading and installing 3.999y5, I have double checked that WideFS is registered and the key has been accepted, it has and WideFS work fine. A thought that does occur to me is I suppose Plan G does work with the free version of FSUIPC. Any help for this aged flier gratefully received, as I say the problem is to problem solve why Plan G does not link with FS9 and the first step I wonder if it is somehow related to a perceived problem [error message on start up] that FSUIPC is not correctly installed or initialized and somehow my Squawkbox module has now gone absent. Regards Peter
