Ok, time to pull my foot out of my mouth, Pete. I took a second look at both CFS1 and CFS2 and discovered that both indeed DO have moducle folders! I have no idea where I got the mistaken idea that they didn't! Sorry about the confusion all this caused! Must have been due to a lack of sleep (I've been watching the London Olympics almost non-stop since they started).... Scott

No apologies necessary, Pete. I was mystified (never having had any problems with upgrading FSUIPC before. My first version was 2.74, or there abouts) more than anything else! Scott

Pete, There was no need to get upset about my post. I WAS reporting the problems I encountered with PSUPIC 3.999s as problems and I DID provide information so they could be investigated (in fact, I gave a detailed description of the problems so they COULD be investigated!)! In any case I have every right to state my opinion about the installer, good or bad. In point of fact, I wasn't being critical of the installer itself so much as the fact that it didn't give the user the option of selecting which versions of FS or CFS to install FSUIPC in (I still think this would be a good idea rather than to assume ALL users would want it installed in ALL versons of FS or CFS. Obviously, this wasn't true in my case.). As I stated in my post version 3.98a came with either QW's Ultimate 757 or PMDG's Queen of the Skies for FS2004. The last version of FSUIPC I personally downloaded prior to version 3.999s was verson 3.90. Where can I get a copy of version 3.999v? The version I downloaded from your web site on schiratti.com only a week ago was 3.999s (I just checked and 3.999s is still the most recent version available). Actually, I'd be just as happy with a full install copy of version 3.98a since I know it works with FS2002 (but not F98). FSUIPC *might* work in CFS1 and 2 but neither require it to function properly. I checked my last backup of both CFS1 and 2 and not only were neither installed with FSUIPC included, neither has a "module" folder of any kind that would have included a version of FSUIPC. Both, in fact, work just fine without FSUIPC installed. I hadn't bothered to try to use any version of FSUIPC after 3.70 with FS98 before now (and I wouldn't have tried to install 3.999s in FS98 either if the installer had given me a choice), since all versions after 3.70 come with features that only benefit versions of FS later than FS98 (so far as I can see). If version 3.999v works with FS2002 then the version 3.999s installer must have screwed up something in the FSUIPC.ini file during the installation process...BTW, just courious, but what are you going to do about the version number for the non-FSX version after you reach "z" (which is only 4 versions away)? Scott

Recently I downloaded this version and immediately ran into problems with it. The first was the fact that it came with an installer which did not ask if I wanted it installed in FS98, FS2002, FS2004, and CFS1 and 2. As soon as I launched the installer it installed this version into all of the above. Why it installed PSUIPC in CFS1 and 2, when neither use it, is a mystery to me. I would REALLY prefer to install FSUIPC manually because of the following problems with trying to run it in any previous version of FS to FS2004... FSUIPC 3.999s (why not simply round it up to 4.0?) ran fine only on FS2004.... Contrary to what Pete's website states this version does NOT work in either FS98 or FS2002 (at least not on my system). I didn't discover this until a couple of days later when I loaded a new aircraft in FS2002. The plane appeared ok but when I switched to the cockpit view I found myself looking at the pilots seat instead of the 2D instrument panel. Coulcn't switch to the panel view or any other cockpit view. When I pressed S to go to the VC panel view, instead of getting the VC panel I got a panelless exterior view which spun wildly, non-stop, in the vertical. Pessing S again got me to the normal tower view then back to the unswitchable cockpit rear view....Restoring FSUIPC 3.90 from a backup got FS2002 back to normal. I then tried running FS98, which I still have on my system (you don't just dump an classic just because a new version comes out, at least not in this case)! It crashed immediately. After I restored FSUIPC 3.70 from a backup FS98 was back to normal. Even though this version did seem to work ok in FS2004, I restored verion 3.98a to FS2004 as well. While I was at it, I upgraded FS2002 to this version and it seems to work fine. I tried upgrading FS98 to 3.98a but it cashed right after I click on "Fly Now"! Same thing with 3.90. Only FSUIPC 3.70 seems to work with FS98 properly unless something in the FSUIPC.ini file needs to be adjusted so versions later that 3.70 work with it (though is there any real need to update FS98 to a newer version of FSUIPC?). Diito when it comes to getting FSUIPC 3.999 to work with FS2002... Unless someone can tell me how to get 3.999s to work in FS2002, I think I'll just stick with FSUIPC 3.98a for FS2002 and FS2004. Can anyone tell me where I can get a full installation copy of FSUIPC 3.98a (it was installed in FS2004 when I installed either PMDG's B747-400 or Quality Wings B757...)?
