FSUIPC 4.01 - NO ADDON MENU

[rjsagel]

Hello,

I just purchased FSX and FSUIPC 4.01. My install of the FSX seems fine. All virus and firewall software is off. I installed the FSUIPC 4.01 and the install looks OK - Modules folder is there and the simconnect.dll is also in my windows area in the correct place.

I do not get any addon menu item in my FSX program. I know that others are having a similar problem - is there something I have to do to correct this issue?

Thanks in advance,

Ron Sagel

All virus and firewall software is off.

What security program(s) are you using? I think merely switching things off may not help. Depending on which package you are using there may be a "privacy" setting which needs adjusting too. But there appear to be different issues with different packages.

I do not get any addon menu item in my FSX program. I know that others are having a similar problem - is there something I have to do to correct this issue?

Apart from completely uninstalling any third party security software, which seems to work (though some partial measures have laso been successful), I know of nothing else you can do. I'm hoping that Microsoft will be able to resolve this, but that may take time.

Please read through the thread about this which already exists: http://forums.simflight.com/viewtopic.php?t=56507

I think that sums up all we know so far. Unless SimConnect works almost all add-ons are dead in the water!

Hello,

Thanks for the help. The problem, in my case, was my firewall - The Shield Firewall. The Anti-virus works OK. I switched to the Windows XP Firewall and all seems to work OK now.

Thanks again,
