Addon menu not showing.

[Haze]

Hi,

I recently installed FSUIPC without any sort of error, the installation went perfect however when i boot up FSX there is no add-on menu present that i can see. And there is none of the planes in the aircraft select menu, is there any common causes of this that i should be aware of? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

This is not an instant message system. Sometimes you do need to wait longer than 30 minutes for an answer. What would happen if you waited 12 hours? :lol:

Try and reinstall FSUIPC with your anti virus turned off.

I recently installed FSUIPC without any sort of error, the installation went perfect however when i boot up FSX there is no add-on menu present that i can see.

Please show me the FSUIPC4.LOG and Install FSUIPC4.LOG files. You will find them in the FSX Modules folder. There are two likely reasons and I need more information to help.

And there is none of the planes in the aircraft select menu, is there any common causes of this that i should be aware of?

No, there should be nothing in common between SimConnect loading FSUIPC and operating the Add-Ons menu, and the default provision of an aircraft list. If you have no aircraft installed you have something wrong with the FSX installation. I would try doing a repair from the original DVDs.

Also, i do have the default aircraft from FSX showing up, just no add-on menu, or any of the add-on planes, i should have worded that differently.

Thanks

Pete,

Here is the other log you requested, i forgot to put it on the first post..

Okay. This does actually show that the Menu entry for FSUIPC (and hence "Add-Ons" is added okay).

3297 FSUIPC Menu entry added

This is only reported if SimConnect is working and has responded correctly.

Also, i do have the default aircraft from FSX showing up, just no add-on menu, or any of the add-on planes, i should have worded that differently.

I have no idea about add-on planes, I'm afraid, but I cannot understand at all why you cannot see the Add-Ons menuunless possibly one of the Add-Ons (planes or otherwise) is attempting to add a menu entry and somehow screwing it up, losing the whole Add-Ons menu in the process. Maybe the same screw-up is preventing the planes being listed too?

There are two ways to proceed. First, get a SimConnect log. Instructions for this are in the FSX Help announcement above. It'll be large, so ZIP it up and send it to me at petedowson@btconnect.com.

Second, try uninstalling your add-on planes one at a time and see if one of them is the culprit.

Regards

Pete
