Yes Joysticks, bad case of O.L.D., sorry. It has happened to me several times today; not sure I remember or even realized it ever happening before? I just have to make sure and check it before loading a flight or I get a fight between FSX and FSUIPC4 for control. Thanks for a great program. Rick S.

Well, it appaers all I had to do for the DRIVER crash problem was read the FSUIPC4 Advanced Users Guide; voila ther it was, and it worked. Now, what is putting the CONTROLS=0 back into the FSX.CFG? AutoScanDevices: This is normally set to 'Yes', to make FSUIPC4 automatically re-scan all connected DirectInput devices each time the Options dialogue is entered. This makes sure devices newly connected are seen. If you don't want this to occur, set it to 'No'. The devices will then only be re-scanned if you press the 'reload' button in either the Axes or Button assignments tabs. I f you never want it to rescan devices (for example, in Windows 8 there seems to be problems doing this), then set this parameter to 'Never' instead. Note that unless disabled here, FSUIPC4 automatically re-scans connections each time it detects any HID USB device connecting. This may help get over problems some folks have with badly behaving devices or USB ports, albeit with a noticeable pause or hesitation (which actually occurs even without any action by FSUIPC to re-connect). A message is logged when this occurs. Note that this doesn't go so far as to allow reconnecting to different USB ports during flight modes. Hope this helps others. Rick S.

I have no doubt that this is not an FSUIPC4 v 4.927a problem but maybe you could point me in the right direction. I have been attempting to load FSX/wAcc in my new 8.1 build for days now. I have sorted thru everything, I thought, until this problem popped up. I am using 23 Saitek devices and all but the Flight Information Panels (FIP's) were finally up and running today without problems, believe me this was a challenge. If I load the FIP panels which calls this section of the exe.xml file, and will not run without it, <Launch.Addon> <Name>Saitek DirectOutput RadioStack</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>C:\Program Files (x86)\Saitek\DirectOutput\SaiFlightSimX.exe</Path> <CommandLine>-run</CommandLine> </Launch.Addon> the panels load and run just fine until there is any little hiccup in the system. By that I mean if one of the FIP's needs to reload for some reason it locks up FSUIPC and my controls. If I open FSUIPC it will not find any devices. And, when I exit FSX I find that the Enable Joysticks, which had been showing JOYSTICKS=0 in the FSX.cfg is now missing and FSX loads with it enabled? As I said, it ran fine unitil I started trying to install the FIP's which calls the Saitek program. As long as the FIP's are loaded prior to selecting a flight , they work perfectly; if loaded after the flight is loaded, I have the described problem.

Seems BitDefender's Firewall feature on the client machine decided to start blocking WideFS? I don't necessarily remember enabling it when installed months ago? All is working again! Thanks Rick S.

Thanks Pete, makes me wonder caused it to change; as I said, it worked perfectly for months? Rick S.

Opp's, I understand your reference to hardware failure but I fail to find anything else hat does not work at this point. I will run Prime95 and OCCT to see if I can find anything out of sorts. I also checked out the download links tab and found I am not completely up to date on your FSUIPC4 FSX modules, will load most recent versions and re-try. ********* WideServer.DLL Log [version 7.703] ********* Blocksize guide = 4096 (double allowed) Date (dmy): 12/11/11, Time 08:36:05.910: Server name is RICK-PC 15912 Initialising TCP/IP server 15912 Initialising IPX/SPX server 15912 IPX/SPX socket() failed [Error=10044] Socket type not supported 15912 Failed to start IPX/SPX Server 15912 Initialising UDP/IP server 16131 Broadcasting service every 1000 mSecs Thanks Rick S.

My system has worked flawlessly for quite a while but yesterday it seems to have developed a problem. When loading WideFS the popup window says "WideClient FS98 Eliminator - Waiting for a connection" but the connection never happens. I have rebooted both computers several times. I have verified and reloaded FSUIPC4 and WideFS; verified the mapped drives are available to the client and remapped; redid the connection FSX links in the Plan-G connection tab. Still, no connection for Plan-G to connect to FSX? Help?
