Pete: I am trying to set up a mouse macro and everything goes well until the very last step (page 36 of manual) At the end when I go back to FSUIPC Keys and Buttons, I click End Macro Making as stated. However, what is meant by "loaded into FSUIPCs Key and Buttons ready for use? How do I now assign a button to this mouse controlled function? I do see the macro file in the modules folder and the TAB key did work for the particular gauge I am controlling. I must be missing something. Very much looking forward to get this to work. Thanks, Al

Thanks Pete. Yes, of course - the upper right of the title bar!!! Hit me on the head! I just was not use to hearing it that way. Yes I do hide the task bar - nice feature. Thanks for all your help. Will keep a look out for new drivers for the GTX280. Take care. Al

Thanks Pete. What do you mean by maximised window mode? Al

Thanks Pete. Yes I stand corrected. It is a "black screen", not CTD. I tried the windowed mode and it works perfectly. The PC is brand new and has the most up to date GPU drivers. It has the new Nvidia GTX 280 card and these are brand new drivers. Don't have any newer ones yet. Hopefully there will be updated drivers in the near future. Thanks again, Al

Peter: I am still flying FS2004 with Wideview with registered versions of FSUIPC using Vista 32bit. I have 3 new client PCs. Two of the clients I had already installed FSUIPC and registered them. No problems. Just yesterday, I installed FS, Wideview and FSUIPC on the 3rd client PC and when I went to the drop down FS modules menu to register FSUIPC and clicked on FSUIPC, I got a black screen (CTD) that required a reboot. But another strange thing is when I went to the other 2 PCs to check the FSUIPC on them, the same thing happened when I clicked FSUIPC, both black screens that required a reboot. On one of the PCs I deleted all the FSUIPC entries in the modules folder and reinstalled the FSUIPC.dll file, but the same thing is happening. Any ideas on this problem? My server PC FSUIPC works fine. Thanks, Al

Pete: Just to follow-up with you. IVAO is aware of this problem ("a bug"). Affects some but not all. Still have not found what is the underlying problem to properly shut down IVAP unless you are operating multi PC which I can with Wideview. Then you can shut down from remote PC. Otherwise just use the end process, as you mentioned. Thanks, Al

Thanks Pete for your help in getting me started on solving this problem. Just posted a question about it on their forum. Will let you know what I find out but I am going out of town for a few days. Al

First, I cannot find any IVAO or IVAP.dlls anywhere. Certainly not in modules folder. I uninstalled IVAp and installed again (latest version). Same problem. Now what I noted was that even after I closed IVAP while within FS, it still remained open in the task bar at the bottom. If I force close it using exit command and then close FS, everytrhing is fine. No FS.exe in the processes. IF I don't do this the IVAP stays in the task bar after I close FS and eventually (after 15 seconds or so) closes on its own. But still FS is in the processes. Al

Pete: Your're absolutely right. I found it there in the processes. Interestingly, if I just open FS and then close it, there is no problem to reopen it. No error mesage. It is not in the processes. However, if I open FS and then open IVAP/IVAO (online flying network), after I close everything, the problem occurs that says I have duplicate copies of FSUIPC and it is still open in the processes. This never happened before; I have been using IVAP for some time. So with this information, what should I do to eliminate from happening again? Any thoughts? Thanks, Al

Just recently, when I open FS2004, there is an error message that says I have duplicate copies of FSUIPC installed. It says to remove the duplicate copy in FS modules folder. FS closes. I check the modules folder and there is only one copy. I currently have a registered copy of 3.53. If I reboot the PC, FS opens fine the first time. If I close it and try to open again, I get the same error message again. What should I do? Thanks, Al

Pete: Thank you kindly. Now I see the abbreviation CTD. Missed it. Well as you can see from my note, this is another "weather" problem many WV users are having. Strange thing is that it was NOT a problem 6 months ago. Relatively recent problem. Not sure what it is related to but for sure it was not there several months back. Hopefully Luciano will be able to resolve. I will take a look at the weather section of FSUIPC and read it more thoroughly. Thanks again, Al

Thank you Pete for your prompt reply. Will check back with Luciano. It is not that it crashes (not sure what your definition of crash is). The static weather which was previously set, just all of a sudden resets to clear sky, maybe after 15-20 minutes of flying. It cannot simply be refreshed without going into the weather settings on the client and make some small change and then it gets back to what it was before. Very strange. Thanks for your thoughts. Al

I just came across this post and wanted to add a comment. I am also a wideview user and have registered versions of FSUIPC on my PC's (one server and 3 clients). I would like to say that I and many otherWV users are experiencing this same problem with the weather update as outlined above (there is a thread about it on the Wideview site). No one is sure what is going on. I too am using FSUIPC 3.5 (with FS 9.1) and want to say that this problem is relatively recent. I never saw it before. Although I cannot be absolutely certain but it may have started after the installation of FSUIPC 3.5. Is it possible to somewhere get the last version of FSUIPC to check if it still occurs. ALso I have just noted it happening using real-time weather with the IVAO network. Al
