Helping a new guy out....

[pilotmaing]

Hello, I am having problems with registering my FSUIPC key. I tried looking up previous posts but found nothing regarding my problem...

The problem is I downloaded the MSFS 9.10 patch and then downloaded software called FS2ATCS from ATC simulator. The creator said the key provided should work, but it isn't. Also said that all we need to do is register an application key, tried that and it didn't work. Seems to me that we need to register the FSUIPC including name, email address, and key. I've done everything I am supposed to so far, like move the FSUIPC.dll and FSUIPC.key files to FS modules.

Sorry if I haven't explained myself clearly and sound dumb, but when it comes to this stuff, I am. So, if anyone knows what is going on or has heard of similar problems please help me out. Thanks.

Seems you are getting yourself rather confused.

User registration of FSUIPC, so you can access all the facilities, is only posible if you purchase a Key. It is that registration you perform with your own name and email address.

Registering an application manually is only necessary if two things are true:

1. You haven't registered FSUIPC as a paid-up user and

2. The application programmer hasn't bothered to make it easy for you by programming in the application key into his program. Most all commercial programs do this properly, and many freeware ones too.

If both of hese are true then you would certainly need to enter the key manually. The button to do that with is the one bottom right on the first FSUIPC options screen. In the dialogue that brings up you'd have to enter the program name and the Key.

I've done everything I am supposed to so far, like move the FSUIPC.dll and FSUIPC.key files to FS modules.

Where did you get an FSUIPC.KEY file from? That's generated by FSUIPC when you register.

It surprises me greatly that the author of the FS2ATCS program has not programmed this properly. It is his job to support his program, not mine. He was issued with a key back in April. The program name to enter is just "FS2ATCS" and the Key is QX6U CM36 PYQQ.
