A little help with my radar please

[swl1238]

Hi all....

I am having problems with FSUIPC and any aircraft that have radar.

I believe the problem is with the "F16.gau" file and after looking round the forum I can see I was right.

I am running fs2004 with the 9.1 patch applied.

My concorde tcas wont recive any data but I dont get an error message

My f16 viper gives an error "wont work with unregistered FSPC" Using the key on freeware list does not help.

Its the same as above for my Mobile tower.

I have added the aircraft config file as well as the FSUIPC log for your info.

P.S. Sorry for the large post and many thanks for your impending help.

I believe the problem is with the "F16.gau" file and after looking round the forum I can see I was right.

Yes, there is something strange about the way that gauge is written. It works perfectly with the freeware Key which was issued for it on many systems -- I personally checked it here on three separate installations and there were no problems.

I think it is doing something strange, possibly with threads, and there is some interaction with other installed add-ins and even other programs running on your system.

The number of actual reports in not huge -- one sufferer did get rid of the problem by reinstalling Windows and FS, so there was evidently something else interacting with it.

Assuming you have definitely registered the gauge as an application (and not as some have done, entered the key as a User key! -- please look in your FSUIPC.KEY file) there are only two solutions without going as far as trying to reinstall everything: either purchase a user key for FSUIPC, or try to find an alternative TCAS radar gauge which works properly, such as one of the freeware ones done by Lee Hetherington (gauges named ILH).

Regards,

Pete
