Hi all, I've tried just about everything I can think of and am coming up 100% empty. I purchased a license for FSUIPC under the understanding that it would run on Prepar3D v3. However, once I installed it, Prepar3D no longer starts at all - it just sits and hangs on the the initial loading screen, with nothing happening thereafter. I've tried completely wiping both things entirely from the system and reinstalling fresh, with no results. I have also tried installing the SP2 simconnect in the P3D redist directory, with no results. In all honesty, I'm entirely at wits end, and don't understand what is happening - the only way I can even get Prepar3D to start is by renaming the Modules/FSUIPC4.DLL file so it fails to locate, at which point Prepar3D starts as usual - just without FSUIPC. I am running Windows 10 Pro and Prepar3D v3.1. I have below included my FSUIPC4 Install log and the most recent FSUIPC4 log. Thanks in advance for your help!

P3D v3 was running fine, but after installing FSUIPC v4.949f, the program won't even start - it just hangs on the splash image. I've tried uninstalling / reinstalling the various flavors of simconnect, and have found absolutely no combination that appears to work. Simply put, if I disable FSUIPC, P3D works splendidly - if I enable it, nada. Any help would be appreciated.
