Hi Pete, OK maybe I was bit grumpy earlier and I am sorry. What I was getting at was that you kept saying that I was not providing enough info and but other than the logs, which I thought I was providing, you were not specifying what info you needed. Anyway, I am sorry and I know you are very very good at answering posts quickly and I was just getting annoyed (I want it to work and also had an awful day at work) and I should have taken some time before typing that. I apologise for having a pop at you Pete. Please see below. ********* FSUIPC4, Version 4.921f by Pete Dowson ********* Running inside FSX on Windows 7 Module base=5FC10000 User Name="Robert Shepherd" User Addr="robsupersaint@hotmail.co.uk" User WideFS Addr="robsupersaint@hotmail.co.uk" FSUIPC4 Key is provided WideFS7 Key is provided 31 System time = 17/10/2013 22:46:02 31 FLT UNC path = "\\ROBERT-PC\Flight Simulator X Files\" 63 Trying to connect to SimConnect Acc/SP2 Oct07 ... 78 FS UNC path = "\\ROBERT-PC\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\" 297 LogOptions=00000000 00000001 297 SIM1 Frictions access gained 297 Wind smoothing fix is fully installed 297 G3D.DLL fix attempt installed ok 297 SimConnect_Open succeeded: waiting to check version okay 297 Trying to use SimConnect Acc/SP2 Oct07 3495 Running in "Microsoft Flight Simulator X", Version: 10.0.61472.0 (SimConnect: 10.0.61259.0) 3495 Initialising SimConnect data requests now 3495 FSUIPC Menu entry added 3573 \\ROBERT-PC\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\FLIGHTS\OTHER\FLTSIM.FLT 3573 \\ROBERT-PC\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\Aircreation_582SL\Aircreation_582SL.AIR 50061 Weather Mode now = Theme 102009 Weather Mode now = Global 102025 \\ROBERT-PC\FSX\Previous flight.FLT 118374 \\ROBERT-PC\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\jfpa38_Tomahawk\jfTomahawk.AIR 168138 System time = 17/10/2013 22:48:50, Simulator time = 06:46:07 (05:46Z) 168138 Aircraft="jftomahawk_BWNU" 169137 Starting everything now ... 169308 Advanced Weather Interface Enabled 184518 Weather Mode now = Theme 184705 Weather Mode now = Global 290162 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 121 secs = 53.3 fps 377273 \\ROBERT-PC\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\PMDG747-400\B747-400.AIR 378287 Aircraft="PMDG747-400 British Airways" 390783 Weather Mode now = Theme 390923 Weather Mode now = Global 454977 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 46 secs = 28.1 fps 630338 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 169 secs = 41.3 fps 913542 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 278 secs = 42.8 fps 960670 Weather Mode now = Theme 960842 Weather Mode now = Global 1118746 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 159 secs = 36.1 fps 1245013 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 92 secs = 37.1 fps 1282235 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 29 secs = 33.4 fps 1363870 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 24 secs = 40.1 fps 1465879 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 49 secs = 37.5 fps 1560525 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 51 secs = 34.4 fps 1571679 Aircraft="PMDG747-400 British Airways" 1580883 Aircraft="PMDG747-400 British Airways" 1622411 Aircraft="PMDG747-400 British Airways" 1992819 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 202 secs = 36.9 fps 2127729 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 56 secs = 25.7 fps 2226977 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 71 secs = 23.8 fps 2516983 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 248 secs = 21.8 fps 2592940 \\ROBERT-PC\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\beech_baron_58\Beech_Baron_58.AIR 2593798 Aircraft="Beech Baron 58 Paint1" 2629007 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 35 secs = 49.5 fps 2666401 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 24 secs = 45.1 fps 2679395 Aircraft="Beech Baron 58 Paint1" 2685729 Aircraft="Beech Baron 58 Paint1" 2766382 \\ROBERT-PC\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\Airbus_A321\Airbus_A321.AIR 2767193 Aircraft="Airbus A321 Paint5" 2802355 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 35 secs = 46.4 fps 2871027 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 23 secs = 44.7 fps 2920495 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 20 secs = 52.2 fps 2929137 \\ROBERT-PC\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\B737_800\Boeing737-800.AIR 2929465 Aircraft="Boeing 737-800 Paint1" 2983956 \\ROBERT-PC\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\PMDG747-400\B747-400.AIR 2984705 Aircraft="PMDG - 747-400 RB211 Engines" 3013409 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 29 secs = 22.4 fps 3263697 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 221 secs = 21.6 fps 3322572 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 25 secs = 39.1 fps 3339748 System time = 17/10/2013 23:41:42, Simulator time = 07:22:02 (06:22Z) 3339748 *** FSUIPC log file being closed Average frame rate for running time of 2144 secs = 35.4 fps G3D fix: Passes 39204, Null pointers 0, Bad pointers 0, Separate instances 0 Memory managed: 2281 Allocs, 2281 Freed ********* FSUIPC Log file closed ***********

OK Pete, I appreciate your assistance. However the reason I have asked you for help is because I do not know the ins and outs of FSUIPC like you. Instead of having a go at me for giving the incorrect info and it being quite clear that I am not sure where it is, you could perhaps advise me where it is instead of just having a go! I understand you probably get frustrated with numerous silly questions from people but I have come here for some help with your superb program and to be honest it feels like you can't really be bothered helping. I love FSUIPC, it a fantastic bit of software and all I was after was a bit of help. Never mind though. I guess I'll just have to figure it out myself.

Update: I think the issue is actually the aircraft not processing the key commands. Having tried to action the commands on the keyboard, nothing happens. So I dont think this is an FSUIPC issue but not too sure why it wouldn't be picking up the key commands...any idea why this may be?

Well, I cannot work out what is wrong this time and why it isn't working. As I said there I am doing nothing different than I have before. I am not at my main PC right now but I will post the log in the next hour or so. Regards, Rob

Yes I have tried key logging. What info do you need?

OK, I am using FSX and SB4 and no I am using PMDG 747-400X. I have changed over to FSX! So, I go into the PMDG Keyboard command menu, I select a key that controls AP DISCON and another key for AT DISCON. I then go into FSUIPC and in the button's and switches tab, I assign both keyboard commands to their own button. So the button press should be triggering the keyboard command set in the PMDG menu. But it isnt working. I press the buttons but they do not carry out the function assigned to them, there is simply no response. The same goes for the PTT button apart from the fact that this does not need to be assigned a keyboard command. Before I would have SB running on the networked PC and assign the PTT button on my yoke through FSUIPC and all worked well, but this is not the case now with FSX. Regards, Rob

Hi Pete, OK Thanks. I'm not really sure why I was under the impression that this was required. I remember doing so previously. Just me having a "moment" I would say! :P Anyway, all is up and running now and everything communicating nicely. I do have another question for you however, I am trying to set up my Yoke as I had before with buttons for AP/ AT and PTT. I have set them as you would normally, for AT/AP setting keyboard commands via PMDG menu and then assigning a button to that key in FSUIPC and then for PTT for SB just setting that up as a button in FSUIPC. The sim is simply not acknowledging the button presses at all. I press then an nothing happens. I am doing all the exact same way as I have done in the past. Regards

Hello Pete, No problem at all. I am not quite sure what I did here to be honest. My head was fried after numerous hours setting up and fixing things. I was meant to add on the rest of the info here. Anyway, I have been using FSUIPC and WideFS for a long time not with FS9 on networked PC's and everything worked perfectly. Just yesterday I installed FSX and sorted out everything I needed to get the network operating correctly for FSX. The only iss I am having is when I try to install FSUIPC on the non-flying PC, it tells me that it cannot access the FSX DLL.XML to edit/activate it. Now I have all the necessary files/folders shared for FSX (main FSX Folder, AppData and FSX Files). I feel like I am missing something really simple here. I have run FSX numerous times yesterday as well testing things so its not that it hasn't been run either. I have posted the log below. INSTALLATION FOR FSX: Checking version of the FSX EXE: ...

Hi, Sorry not sure if my post actually went onto the forum as I cannot see it.
