Hi Pete
I have been using FSUIPC with FS9, version 3.98a for some time without any problems until recently when I downloaded and installed the Level-D B767-300ER winglet version. Since fsuipc.ini was becoming really messy, I decided to rebuild it from scratch. Reading the manual, I found that to start with a clean file one should remove it in the “modules” folder, and FSUIPC will recreate a clean copy on the next invocation of FS9. I did so, but the “old” assignments were still active although the file could not be found in the “modules” folder.
Since Vista x64 is such a persnickety beast, I wondered if the OS had somehow moved the file elsewhere and created a hidden link. Thus, I turned on “Display Hidden Files” and performed an entire search of drive C:. Sure enough, the fsuipc.ini file was found in the, “C:\Users\Flight\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent” folder and a link file in the “C:\Users\Flight\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows” folder. Thinking this must be the problem; I deleted both, performed another search of C: without finding fsuipc.ini, and invoked FS9. The assignments were still active.
My next step was to wonder if the fsuipc.ini had been memory cached by the OS. I rebooted the computer, performed a search for the file once again without it being found, and invoked FS9. All assignments, except one were reset/cleared, and only for the Level-D winglet version. This is yoke button 0, aircraft specific (the general assignment for the button is clear), which has the following message in the “status” window of the Button + Switches tab, “This has multiple actions already! Please edit it in FSUIPC.INI.”
Well, I am now officially at a loss to explain this anomaly. Any suggestions that you have will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Joe
