Pete,Read slots error with 3.128

[VCSIGDA]

Hi Pete,

Thanks again for your update. You are one amazing person.

I am having problems with version 3.128

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I uninstalled 3.125 completely from the modules folder. I also deleted the text file related to fsuipc but I left the CFG file and the key file in place.

I then installed 3.128 into the modules folder, then started FS2004, I get the messages: Read slots failed, Read change failed, Read size failed, proccess 1 failed.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I also tried to get 3.128 working by only having it in the modules folder, alone with no text, key or CFG files. FS2004 could not get started as well in this case. some slightly different messages I think, but can't recall right now what they were. But FS2004 would not start properly.

For startup, I am using the Dreamfleet merge by Peter.

Any ideas of what I can do to correct this.

Thanks

Vincent

never any need to uninstall anything. Just copy FSUIPC.DLL into the modules folder.

Sounds like there's a TCAS program trying to read data before anything is set up for it. Please check the Release notices above. I think it may cover your problem. Get 3.129 when it is on the Schiratti site.

Sorry,

Pete

Pete,

I will wait for 3.129 to be released, in the past all I ever done was just replace the fsuipc.dll

I read the top post but still have a hard time to understand it.

I do not have any programing skills.

I am using Reality xp JL4 which may be causing the problem or maybe Flightmax v1.4.

TCAS ? is that gauge that shows the traffic? I cant remember.

Thanks for everything,

Vincent

It just says things may go wrong with 3.128 if you start FS with any complex panel or aircraft needing FSUIPC access. If you load FS with a default aircraft, then load your desired airc raft, it should be okay. Or wait for 3.129 as you say. It is nothing to do with programming, it is to do with how FS is being run.
