True, I didn't look there first because I didn't know it was there until the instructions in IYP told me to check FSX modules to see if FSUIPC was installed in FSX. Sorry Pete, long time pilot (22 yrs military and then airline ATP) but not at all savy with computer matters. Go slow with me :).
Like above, it's not that I didn't bother to read it, nothing on your official download page said there was an installation file located at...and to read it upon download. Some of us dummies are not as sharp as you and know we should be looking for such files.
Found it once I knew where to look. It shows installed in the menu under Add-Ons.
I have no add-ons to FSX Acceleration other than FSUIPC at this point. So far, this is a clean installation.
Ok, I found the new version (4.661) on this site. Do I have to delete anything from the previous setup or will the download simply update the old dlls?
1. It's listed in the menu add-on.
2. Can't find FSUIPC4.ini. Where do I look for it? I see Documents, Install log, dll, .config. settings, text document.
I tried to add my log as an attachment but it said I wasn't permitted to upload this kind of file so here's the log.
