Hi Ian, I will look that up in FSX. I will let you know. Thanks for your help Peter G

Hello Frans, Thanks for the heads up. I will check it out. Peter G

Hello Ian, I purchased FSUIPC and WIDE FS. I did install them as you suggested. Pardon my ignorance, and there is plenty of that. Even thought I am sure there are many places in these forums where, what I am about to ask has already been answered, I have failed to find an answer, and what is sad is that is probably right on my nose. Nevertheless, dummy here, has not come up with any answers. So here it is, could you explain to me how do I know that this software package installed correctly? How can I tell? I am sure I missed something in the process that probably explained everything, but dummy here somehow must have missed it. Everything went so fast that I wonder if anything got installed. I remember entering the Registration Keys and then that was it. Can you help me? I Thank you very much for any help you may be able to share with me. Again, If I have missed the answer to my now questions, please excuse me, I am new at this. Thanks Ian Peter G.

Hello Ian, Thank you so much for taking the time to answer me so quickly. I will do as you have explained. As you can tell, I don't even know where in the forum should I post my questions. I am posting this thank you note, I don't know if this is the corrrect place to do so. I guess I have a lot to learn! I hope the install will go OK for me. I will let you know, if that is OK. Am I doing this right? I mean am I on right group to ask these questions? Thank you so much. Peter G

Hello, I am very new into the world of Flight Simulator. I have learned a bit and heard a lot about FSUIPC and Wide FS. I have heard Mostly,.... stay away from it, you do not need it....is difficult to understand.....etc. I came accross a piece of software (Free Drivers) that perhaps will help me with some problems that I am having with the "Saitek Panels". The software name is "SPAD". These, I am told, are drivers for the "Saitek Panels". My conumdrum is that this software specificallly says that one most have "FSUIPC" installed in order for it to work, if I have FSX and Accelaration Pack installed (Which I do). Can someone take the mistery and scary part out of this and help me out? I have wanted to purchase FSUIPC and Wide FS for sometime, for what I have read, seems that it would help FSX quite a bit. Is it hard to install? Do I need a degree in engineering to use this? I know I am been facetious, but is mind bugling what I hear out here. Could someone help me? Any help is more that welcome.
