Pete;
All is ready in reference to updating the FSUIPC to the 3.48. Please note that I will hold till I am clear on how you want it updated. Also do I do the steps you mentioned in the instructions for 3.48 ie the FSUIPC.INI file stepss. Agian I am real worried I (me) that I will make some stupid errors on my end. I guess its the fact I relaced the PFC and FSUIPC dll's back to the ones from the current PFC (I know these are not current but they where what was there before the UT install) page in an effort to follow the warning from UT in an effort to replace things to there previous state in an effort to restore the sim.
Also where to a gain acess to a copy (the windows file that you mentioned) that works correctly. At least for the time being I can optian these files from my lap top place onto a disc a ne ready to go if and when needed.
I havebbt D/L any thing on the Desk top since the install mess I made in an effort to keep things simple.
Thank you.

Also Pete,
Sorry but I forgot. You told me you understood the menu issue but stated
"Er, sorry, I cannot picture that. what "should be the back ground" in what menu? What's a "menu mode"? "
Thata why I re-explianed the menu. I realize you wrote it nut the comment had me confussed. Please except my appologiy for re-stating the menu issues.
I was just trying to help.
Mark.

Also please understand that the reason for mentioning a registered version was to express my support of your work, and if a fee is needed I am open to that. It was my way of trying to let you know I realize that this is work for you and I dont take your help for granted.
Thank you.
Mark.

Peter,
I thought you did not understand the problem I have with not being able to see the full menu page (any page be it throttles, yoke ECT...) and most worrisome not being able to click on the area that makes choices. The example I made of choosing the com selection on the first page or so is a good example.
Please let me know if we are on the same page with this.
Also, please tell me if you want me to place the dll into the modules as I want to know if it will overwrite the other. I thought I remembered reading somewhere that it was important to assure there where only one dll file in the modules folder.
I appreciate your help and do not mean to frustrate. I really did not understand where we where in terms of being on the same page. It is obvious I am light years behind you with this stuff. My PC has been stuck now for a week and I am worried to do anything until perfectly clear. I cannot make a choice in the first page when I should be selecting which com to select. I cannot see or click on the section as it is covered as I mentioned. For what ever reason last week when I started FS9 the PFC hardware was on (the lights on the radio stack ECT...) put any input I made on the hardware from PFC would not show on the SIM. I clicked on the PFC tab across the top and there was the fist page wanting me to make a COM selection, and I was unable to do this as it was partially covered up. Thus my PC now sits, as I feel the need to be sure of any more steps I make. I have tried replacing the PFC and your dll (the version I mentioned in the initial e-mail) but it will not go back to the way it was prior to the install of UT. I realize I have frustrated you with these basic needs I have. But here I sit.
I thank you for your time and will sit tight till I am sure of the next step to take. I am really worried about digging a deeper hole for myself at this point.
Thank you

Graet thanks for the feedback let me see if I can do these one at a time.
The menu, I am speaking of when you are in FS9 and if you go to the windows mode you will have menu across the top of your screen. One of the items across the top (in windows mode) is PFC. This is Precision Flight Controls. If I click on this then It will bring up there screen. There screen is the screen where you make choices for the hardware to interact with the software (or so it seems). For example in your documentation that I downloaded from PFC you discussed the "com I" or other com choices that needed to be made when setting up things. Things is a term I am using to reference the set up that includes the PFC Cirrus II, FS9, your download of FSUIPC (what ever version you recommend, I could not tell which one you recommended, if you could clarify that would be great. Please remember that I have re-installed the version I mentioned as per the UT instructions with the same bad results). The best way I can explain is that the area where I chose to select a com choice is no longer visible. Part of that area is, but the area where the box drops down is not.
So, please specify the version of the non- registered FSUIPC (I use your registered in my lap top and unless needed will only need to buy one copy) needed. Then please keep in mind that all through the menu (menu the area where you configure the PFC hardware, for example choosing the default settings for your avionics ECT...) is covered on the bottom 1/4 and the RT 1/4 through out the selection process. Process is my way of explaining the tabs across the top of the menu that allows you to set up your toke buttons, console selections, ect...) in other words you see the different menu pages but cannot see the area where you make your selections.
The bottom line I think is that even when I reinstalled your FSUIPC to put things back the way they where before installed the UT. (UT is my way of stating Ultimate Traffic) This is what the instuctions for this was from the UT people. The sate this warning about your payware version of FSUIPC. The solution as I read was to install the FSUIPC back into the system. So I went to may folder where I D/L your FSUIPC per PFC and I re-installed and stilll have the same issues. I dont see at this point how uninstalling UT would help if I have already re-installed your FSUIPC with no improvemnts, but who knows. I would like to keep UT, Please spell out more questions as I will gladly help as much as I can to give you all the information you need to assist. I appricate your help.
Please note: the documentation I referenced from you was per the link at PFC where the had your guide for setting up the hardware ect...
Also, this is where I am at now in trying to resolve the issues. Later after this is hopfully repaired then I will be glade to get different or new versions of your or others software. Aldo if I must do this now then thats ok too. I just dont see why when it worked prior to UT that it cant work the same if the FSUIPC's are replaced unless I must dump the UT for now.
Thanks agian.

Hello,
I presently use the Precision Flight Controls Cirrus II console with FS9 and the .DLL file, Version Release Date March 2005 version 3.47 FSUIPC.DLL This is the version recommended by PFC. On my laptop with FS9 and a Joystick I make use of the payware/Reg version of Pete's fine work.
Here is what has happened.
All was well with the set up mentioned above, PFC, FS9 and 3.47 .DLL. The Cirrus II console worked fine and running smooth. Last week I installed a product called Ultimate Traffic from Flight1. Now there are a couple of small issues that can get out of hand real fast. The issues that can get out of hand first. This is that when I click on the PFC tab across the top of the screen to view menu options the RT 1/4 and bottom 1/4 of the menu are as if the are covered by the what should be the back ground when in the menu mode. Best example is that I cannot make a choice in the menu for COM I or II. The reason is the place where you click to place the dot for your choice is covered as mentioned above.
As long as I stay with the present throttle quad choice and do not need to access this and all other menu choices though out the menu pages (note that on all menu pages the RT 1/4 and bottom 1/4 of the screen is covered as what appears to be the background when normally in the menu mode).
This was not the way things were prior to the install of Flight1 Ultimate Traffic. I have found on the web site for Flight1 that there is a warning of issues with Pete’s FSUIPC registered version. (Please note the system being discussed is set up with the hardware mentioned above and the PFC’s recommended FSUIPC version 3.47). Now the warning on Flight1’s web site is for the registered version of FSUIPC, as mentioned on the computer mentioned I use 3.47.
Though out the Flight1 web site they discuss having a back up copy of the FSUIPC .DLL files to reinstall in case one is affected by the download of Ultimate Traffic and or Ultimate Traffic updates. Well I have gone back several times to re-install the 3.47 .DLL files with and without the corresponding PFC drivers in an effort to restore things as they were before the introduction of Flight1’s Ultimate Traffic. The end result is the same with the RT side and bottom ¼ of the menu appearing to be covered by what should be the back ground or appears to be the back ground for the PFC menu that is accessed from the PFC tab across the top of the screen when in the simulator mode.
So flight1 resolves the issue by having the .DLL files placed back in the “modules folder” of FS9. Well as mentioned I have replaced the FSUIPC. The PFC driver file and a combination of the two. The result is the same. So I have tried the Flight1 remedy and no luck. Well one would think to uninstall flkight1 Ultimate Traffic to resolve the issue and hope that Flight1 refunds my cash. Well if I have already replaced the FSUIPC file and the PFC file and a combination of the two together (PFC has a D/L that installs both into the FS9 “modules folder”) then I am unsure if uninstalling Flight1’s Ultimate Traffic will matter. As they stated for the fix I have replaced the .DLL files.
Real world, with the exception of PFC and there support team I am out here in no mans land. Except for PFC you cannot speak to anyone. You right a few letters only to receive a response with questions requiring more typing which if resulted in a solution would be great. But the bottom line is that getting a solution or my cash back from flight1 is a testing process. I have spelled the problem out as to exactly what happened. Sometimes I fill the click and paste questions are a way of dragging things out. I do not mean to sound negative, but I am really worn down with this. If nothing else I owe the readers of this problem a fee for at least letting off some steam. Computers are great, but a phone conversation at this point with the powers that be would be pretty nice right now.
If any one has any ideas to resolve this I am open to, and thankful for any help. Flight1 has a web site at flight1.com, look for the Ultimate Traffic area and the UT updates, PFC has a web site at flypfc.com there you will see the area for drivers and find the D/L for PFC and Pete’s latest .DLL and drivers.
I really appreciate the effort to help.
Thank you,
Mark.

Dose FSG Cordillera Canada or the new improved version of this cuase any issues with Misty Fjords. If it dose what are the nessesary steps to resolve them. If they are diffiucult is there a solution that may not be perfect but dose not require advanced CPU knowledge.
Thank you.

OK, it looks like MM is the home for MF and then I guess MP is out by its self. For what ever reason I thought it was 3 seperate rhinks, MF, MM and MP. But at MM it states its the home for MF. I need a Beer.
Thank you.

Thanks there.
Is there a certian area (airport or a add on for MF) where Justins mesh (I have all of Justins mesh) will conflict. The reason I ask is after reading and seeing what needes to be done in the cfg files I am worried I will mess it up. So I figure I will aviod this particular place (if it is abnle to be ID as a Cetian location. All the mesh was just loaded in as CD's arived. No order at all. THe only place where I have order adjusted is in the scenery file as we discussed. Also, if needed I could disable a particular mesh area from jusyins list in my cpu. He put a bery clear link to disable if needed.
I appreciate you sending the link and over the weeks as I get to know what looks to be a great package, I will krrp visiting the post like these and see what transpires.
I found a lot of people that have installrd MM add on scenery also have MF. I may have overlooked any additional add on scenery for MF. All I have is the package I purchased from you, abd then most all the MM/MP add on's, which as mentioned reference your base package as being needed to have it all show up ok. I realize I am a free person and can chose what I D/L and or buy, so thats not my worrie. My only worrie is all I have found is your base pack, MM/MF (which mentions your base) and thats it. So if I am missing some more MF stuff then please let me know. Agian for MF all I have is your base, the rest of add ons are under MM/MP ()if I have got this correct in my head).
So far so good and I appreciate your help.

Thank you.
I also have Justins mesh installed for the area. Is there anything I need to do special with it. I dont think you can rank it as like scenery.
Thanks agian

Hello,
I have MF installed and am adding in the great free ware sceney in MM, and MO. SInce the question invols all of these listed I hope it ok to place the question here.
I have read all the different read me's as well as looked through the treads here and at thew MM/MP sites.
I am really confussed as to place MF landclass and scenery below or above the other add on's. The above is as if looking at the scenery libary and the top (as in above) starts with #1 and below would be a number after that that is placed below this. Agian this is as if looking at the scenery Libary and #1 being on top and say #55 being 54 spots down the line (below).
I hope this makes sence. As I have looked around there seems to be examples of both ways to place the scenery.
I promiss I have not been drinking (yet) LOL.
Thank you.

I cant get the comctl32.dll files to copy and paste for you to see.
So I will have to type them here for you,
comctl32.dll C:\WINDOWS\$NtServicePackUni 544KB Appli Ext 8/29/2002
comctl32.dll C:\WINDOWS\system 32 is 597 KB Applic Exte 8/4/2004 comctl32.dll C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386 597KB App Ex 8/4/2004
comctl32.dll C:\WINDOWS\Winsxs\x86_Micro 900KB Appli Ext 8/18/2001
comctl32.dll C:\WINDOWS\Winsxs\x86_Micro 900KB Appli Ext 8/29/2002
comctl32.dll C:\WINDOWS\Winsxs\x86_Micro 900KB Appli Ext 4/16/3004
comctl32.dll C:\WINDOWS\Winsxs\x86_Micro 1026KB Appli Ext 8/4/2004
OK there are all of them. Agian I had to type each one so I am worried about errors. The search results would not copy and paste nor can I get alt prt screen to work. I will keep working on the print screen alt to see if I can get a snap shot of the menu.
I hope this helps you in you efforts to remedy my mess. Oh well no simming this weekend but the future can be briter.
Thank you.
