I have never played FSX, but have been asked to help install the F/A-18 Superbug Add-on. During installation I am getting this error:
The VRS Superbug requires FSUIPC 4(freeware version) for FSX. FSUIPC 4 was not found in the selected
install location. FSUIPC 4 can be downloaded from [url="http://www.schirati.com/dowson.html"]http://www.schirati.com/dowson.html[/url]. Please be you have installed FSUIPC,
and confirmed it is operating by pressing ALT and seeing it in the "Addons" menu in flight.
Here is a copy of the FSUIPC 4 log:

Now installing additional files into the "Modules\FSUIPC Documents" folder:
Installed "FSUIPC4 User Guide.pdf" okay
Installed "FSUIPC4 for Advanced Users.pdf" okay
Installed "FSUIPC4 History.pdf" okay
Installed "List of FSX controls.pdf" okay
Installed "GlobalSign Root.exe" okay
Installed "FSUIPC Lua Library.pdf" okay
Installed "FSUIPC Lua Plug-Ins.pdf" okay
Installed "Lua License.pdf" okay
Installed "Lua Plugins for VRInsight Devices.pdf" okay
Installed "Example LUA plugins.zip" okay
FSUIPC4.DLL installed and signature checked out okay!
Deleted GlobalSign Root fix program ... no longer relevant
I am stumped. It says it can't find the FSX.CFG file, yet says the FSUIPC4.DLL installed okay. Thanks in advance for the help.
