[FSUIPC 4.938 available now for FSX Steam Edition!]

 

I'm pleased to report that after a day of struggling (Friday) I got my development PC working well enough to do some work. I just dare not switch it off or I think it won't come on again!. It is crippled -- it won't run P3D because I had to substitute an older non-DX11 video card. but it was okay for testing with FSX and FSX-SE,

 

FSUIPC Version 4.938 is now available, and works as best as I can make it with FSX-SE. The installer copes with both ways FSX-SE installs (free-standing or alongside FSX Boxed), and all the hooks appear to work except for the full wind-smoothing fiddle (rarely used these days with such good weather programs), and the "G3D crash" patch. In the latter case the code in that area has changed and i'm not sure whether the fix would still be needed in any case.

 

Feedback on any of the FSUIPC facilities would be useful, but I may not deal with it now for a week or two! ;-)

 

Oh, the latest version of MakeRunways, also available, also copes with FSX-SE's possibly different SCENERY.CFG location too.

 

Happy Christmas!

 

Pete

 

PS If you downloaded it before 12 midnight UK time, and have P3Dv2 also installed, you may want to download it again so the installer can install into P3Dv2 as well. A silly oversight on my part. Sorry!

 

Thanks Pete,

 

Should I be downloading from http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html? 

 

Regards

Edit: to answer my own post, yes even though the download is labelled 4.937 it is actually 4.938 and it installed fine

 

thanks again

thanks to both Pete®s and Andy - hopefully I'll get a chance to try this out today - don't you hate how work interrupts!

Have a good holiday Pete.

Thanks for all that info - now to keep testing :)

edit: hmmm the sub view seems to work, kind of, but the next and previous views don't seem to do what I expected, the views don't cycle

Didn't want to hijack the other thread.

Venturing into the world of using FSUIPC to fully control my yoke and pedals for the first time after having owned FSUIPC for quite some time, back to the real early days :)

My CH yoke uses the 2 buttons on the left hand side of the yoke (the red ones) to cycle through the views - this emulates the the S key. I have checked the key assignments in FSX and S is assigned to View (next category). I can't see this option in the control list under Buttons + Switches - is it called something else, or am I in the wrong place?

thanks

Scott

[FSUIPC registered version required]

LOL

Thanks Pete, that's why I came to the horses mouth....rather than the other end :)

[FSUIPC registered version required]

"Please note that FSUIPC4 is a new release and requires that you purchase a registration key. "

the other is Flightsim Commander, it's buried somewhere in the documentation.

Why is it that add-ons for FSX are requiring a "registered" version of FSUIPC?

4.x is so I don't see why 5 wouldn't be.
