OK Pete, a gaff here in semantics. I somehow placed fsuipc 4.60 in the modules folder. Then I attempted to unzip the 4.669 into the modules folder. This didn't go well. I removed the 4.6 dll and unzipped successfully 4.669 in the modules folder. No change. Removed fsuipc 4.669 .dll and started over with 4.5. Put in 4.6. Unzipped 4.669 ok into modules folder.

I get an error trying to add fsuipc 4.6697 to 4.60. Just wouldn.t do it. I hid 4.60 in a folder and ran 4.6697. Went ok. Now I'll uninstall 4.6697 and try again with 4.60 the install 4.6697. ********* FSUIPC4, Version 4.669 by Pete Dowson ********* Reading options from "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Modules\FSUIPC4.ini" Trying to connect to SimConnect Acc/SP2 Oct07 ...

Pete, I certainly do apologize in advance for posting this in your forum. I have no problems with Fsuipc, I just need someone with your savvy to look at this. This SimConnect problem has me against the wall. I've been reading forum posts for almost a week. According to my SimConnect.log, all my simconnect stuff is loading, most of it is working, just not auto-starting. Fsuipc 4.5 is the only thing showing in the Fs Menu. FsEarth will not work with G/E. Instant Scenery won't work at all. (I'm sure Pete Dowson could fix this, I just don't have the heart to ask him, especially since his Fsuipc is working perfectly, and always has. Too bad Pete didn't write FSX.) Heh, I left that in, its what I posted at FSDevelopers. At the advice of FSInsider crew I ran a repair session, then it took me two days just getting my addon menu back. I'm including some xml files, simconnect log and etc. In a txt file.

Pete,,thank you for the speedy reply. The gauge name is XMLgauge!Set fuel. Looked at the copyright info and found it was coded by Nick Pike. I emailed him for info. Thanks again Jaybe

Will the fuel dump work in FS9? The gauge is installed in main gauge folder and shows in panel. Mouse over shows (Set Fuel Levels to N%) but doesnt change levels. I have registered ver fsuipc (not the very latest but one of the first payware versions) Thanks,,Jaybe
