Bernie Sterzenbach Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 To Pete Dowson Today I could not get low visibility at FS9. When I set the visibility for example to 1/2 mi, the runway lights illuminate, but the visibility does not get low. Any changing of FSUIPC settings did not help. Just when I remove the FSUIPC.DLL things are normal again. My video card: ATI 9800 pro, FSUIPC 3.53.

Since it isn't registered there won't have been any settings you could have changed. Regards, Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernie Sterzenbach Posted April 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 Does it mean, that I can not get fog with an unregistered FSUIPC? Greetings Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Dowson Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 Does it mean, that I can not get fog with an unregistered FSUIPC? No, it means that FSUIPC doesn't offer any facilities for you to change the weather settings. It doesn't touch FS's weather at all unless asked, and you can't ask it. If your weather is being changed through FSUIPC it will be another program doing it, or else you have some problem with your graphics card or its driver settings. Why having FSUIPC there or not would make any difference I've no idea, but generally it will be because of whatever is using it. Anyway, delete your FSUIPC.INI file before running FS next time, in case it has been corrupted. Regards, Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Dowson Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 One think I recall, when someone else had a similar problem, was this: add TableFog=0 into the [DISPLAY.Device *] section of the FS9.CFG file. This, I presume, fixes a problem some drivers have with the way FS displays fog. I think this snippen originally came from a post on one of the AVSI< forums, back in January. On the other hand I think the person who tried it got it to work only once, then it reverted. What did fix it in the end was a re-install of FS -- apparently he had something corrupted. Personally, before taking such a step, I would try deleting the default-loaded FLT + WX files (or even all your WX files) and possibly also the FS9.CFG file. This is because I think the most likely scenario is a corrupted WX file, maybe from a bad download. Corrupted WX files have long been known to cause odd problems, and these could well change with or without some other add-on present, whether FSUIPC or something else. This is because the presense of the add-ons changes the memory configuration and the timing of events, so different things happen as a result of the one original problem. I hope this is of some help.

Bernie Sterzenbach Posted April 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Deleting WX files and the no table fog option made no difference. But Your advice to do a reinstall helped. All weather is ok now. I'll install my PMDG 747 inclusing built-in FSUIPC. Thank You Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
