P.S

It looks like ActiveSky is trying to access FSUIPC to set the weather before it has actually passed it's Access Code: see these lines

The registration check seems to be occurring AFTER the write to C800 (which is part of a request to do something with the weather).

I can analyse this further if you would like to enable IPC Write logging (a check box in the Logging page of FSUIPC options -- enable it before running ASV6).

But there is something vaguely familiar about this error. Maybe it has happened before and is now fixed? I cannot recall. If you are not completely up to date with ASV6, could you update it first and try again -- I think the latest is SU4 ("Service Update 4").

It may also help to post your question (and this, my reply) on the ActiveSky forum.

There will be no Version 4 for FS2004 and before, so it depends if you are planning to update FS to FSX sooner or later, or not at all. FSUIPC4 will only run on FSX and later and will need a new registration.
