HI, Pete. 
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. (edit later)  - Never Mind. All good now... 
  
Hmmmm. No fsuipc.log file. Of course i forgot to start logging the first time i tried. Tried 
 - starting logging, 
   verifying the problem, 
   and exiting FS. 
 - starting logging, 
   verifying the problem, 
   stopping logging 
   and exiting FS. 
  
but , if Win7's search can be trusted (and we know it can't), there is no fsuipc file anywhere on my drive :sad: 
  
I'll try deleting fsuipc and putting in a new one... 
D'oh! I'm sure i did this at least once already... maybe i just put a new copy into modules.... 
Ok, well, running "Install FSUIPC", deleting my old registration and re-registering:

Plan-G is connecting properly now, too. 
  
OK, Then. 
So glad you have more patience for idiots than i do. 
Thanks for showing me a way to test fsuipc. 
  
Awesome, i'm going to go install me some new guages! And maybe resume my work on my ATC robot now that i've learned that i can place and control (well, update) AI planes.  No more simultaneous parallel approaches to the same runway!! 
  
Once again, Thank You.
