Problems with FSUIPC ver 3.48 and FS 9

[navops]

I installed FS 9 then the update. I installed FSPUIPC. When I try to start FS 9 everyting is okay till I select fly now from the create flight menu. The program goes to loading scenery data and then locks up. If I remove FSUIPC everything works fine.

Help please.

Something else is wrong then. FSUIPC simply isn't doing anything until and unless it is asked to do so. What programs or add-ons are using it? (Why did you install it?).

There are also some by now well known reasons for this -- one is a bug in an earlier version of FSNav. If you have FSNav installed, check that you have the latest update for it. Active Camera also needs an update for FS9.1. There may be others.

I have a clean install of FS 9 with no adons. I was going to install FSNav after FSUIPC and then the rest of my addons. If I take out FSUIPC then FS 9 loads fine.

Never had this happen before. Am baffeled.

Something is interfering with it. Check your FS Modules folder. All FS9.1 default DLLs should be dated 1st September 2004 (or maybe some other date if it isn't the US/UK edition -- but all the same date). There are 31 of them. Check, see if there are any others apart from FSUIPC.

If that checks okay then I can only think there's something else running in your system that specifically affects other programs, like Window Blinds -- that is certainly one which does odd things to FS.

Is there an FSUIPC Log file produced? What does it say, if so?
