John, As a veteran user of FSUIPC in FSX and P3D I was kind of disappointed from the rough beginning in MSFS . Purchased the keys for FSUIPC 7 and WideFS7 today and got the following message: “Registration detailed for FSUIPC7 not valid - pleasure-enter .......etec. etec. . Clicking ok and then “skip “ , received : “ FSUIPC7 is already installed on your system “ . ? . Not sure whats going on . Went in and started the sim , not knowing were to find the initial starting FSUIPC board . I think it will be good idea to publish more accurate and simple guide how and what to do . Can anybody put more light on this ? thanks Paul

Yes ,Yes ..... Deleted there , and reinstalled the correct one - and it’s working perfectly . Pete , many thanks for your help Paul

Hello Pete , that’s exactly the point . It’s exactly the same .Everything was deleted . Maybe I need to reinstall the P3D and then run the DLL till I will not see that line again .How is the correct line should read ? In any event , leaving town today for a few days. Will try it ( unless you have any other advise)in a few days . Regards Paul

“re-download the ZIP and re-run the Installer.” It is from a fresh download . Thanks Paul

Pete, Here’s the DLL. : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?> <SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0"> <Descr>Launch</Descr> <Filename>dll.xml</Filename> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad> <Launch.Addon> <Name>FSUIPC 5</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path> \Modules\FSUIPC5.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> </SimBase.Document> PAUL

Pete , again , thanks so much for your detailed directions .Will do a little later . At work in my office . Paul

Pete, Couldn’t find your requests : DLL.XML - no \AppData\ FSUIPC5.LOG - not there . thanks Paul

Pete , A little younger then you are . From the “round analog dials “ time . Too much “glass” in the cockpit - not for me . “ Looks like the uploaded Installer was corrupted somehow “ indeed it was . Was good a few weeks ago , don’t understand how it changed . Now after the upgrade of my machine needed it again but no luck . To business : Managed to install finally , but now it’s not shown in my P3D V4 top menu . Here’s is a copy of my installer ( I think ) Regards Paul Installer for FSUIPC5.DLL version 5.122 Looking in registry for Prepar3D v4 install path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4 Parameter"AppPath" ... >>> OK!

Hope that’s the right stuff :

Thanks for your reply Pete , Do you offer a “Team Viewer “ option to look into the guts of it ? I’m not a computer wiz , nor a beginner . Just a Pilot from a different era. A step by step guide where to look will help . Paul

Pete, Same problem here . When I open Moduls all I have is one file : FSUIPC5.DLL The attached picture below is on my screen need help thank you Paul

More for Gypsy Baron , by assigning /mapping new commands both to the yoke(and 2 throttle quadrants ) and the stick with FSUIPC , do I need to delete all the defauld commands that are mapped by the Saitek software ? Again , any conflict between Saitek to FSUIPC ? Thanks again Paul

Thank you Paul for your help.It will help me a lot. Paul

Hi all, Never had the chance to use FSUIPC before (actually I'm not so sure what are all it is capable of) . My question - Is it correct to assume that if I will install Saitek Yoke along with throttle quadrants and Saitek X52 Pro stick they will conflict each other ? So far I had them on my system separately and each time I wanted to change I had to reprogram again. Will FSUIPC help in this situation ? Thanks for any advice Paul
