FSUIPC not working in FSX


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I had FSUIPC running great guns for manny many months, then 1 day it went *poof* and vanished, i re installed no joy there, mmmm what the heck i was thinking. I need FSUIPC to run VAFS a VA financial system http://www.vafinancials.com if your interested to learn it Peter. anyway. I purchased a new PC (not because of FSUIPC :}) and got everything installed, and wouldnt i know it, FSUIPC not working again, so i un install FSX, install, no SP's FSUIPC no work, SP1 FSUIPC no work, SP2 FSUIPC no work, so i then un install again, and do the same, only shoot straight to SP2 then install and no good, in the mean time my active sky X then tells me simconnect is no good anymore, i fixed that with a re install of simconnect from the SDK simconnect installer.

OK, long story to short, FSUIPC will not work on FSX for me anymore, any clues as to why it just stopped, i have the latest dll as well and 4.20

Regards,

Jason

If you installed ASX after installing FSUIPC4 it or you may have corrupted or changed the DLL.XML file which tells FSX to load FSUIPC4 in the first place. In case this is so, please re-run the FSUIPC4 installer.

If this doesn't help then show me both the Install log and the FSUIPC4 log from the FSX Modules folder. They contain the information which should help determine what is wrong. They are both text files and you can paste them here.

I am haveing the same problem, whenever i try to make a flight on VAFS, it says FSX not reconized. Here are the logs

Perhaps VAFS doesn't like FSX? Have you asked their support?

You have something wrong, somehow, in any case:

Installer for FSUIPC4.DLL version 4.520

You installed 4.52, yet:

********* FSUIPC4, Version 4.50 by Pete Dowson *********

You are running FSUIPC 4.50. How do you do that?

Otherwise FSUIPC4 is fine. you must ask the VAFS folks.

Regards

Pete

Im sorry for makeing my answer sound weird, no there is no add ons tab, what i meant to say was that there was no tab whenever i downloaded any of that stuff.

The Add-Ons tab is a menu item in the Menu bar in FSX, when you are flying. According to the log, that is most certainly there.

38 minutes ago, Lack said:

the installer only installs the dll file right?

Not quite. It also installs the documents (user manuals, etc) and updates the sims DLL.xml file to start the FSUIPC dll when the sim starts (which I guess is part of the dll installation).

35 minutes ago, Lack said:

and where will i find the installation log?

It will be in the Modules folder, under you sim installation directory, where the FSUIPC4.dll is installed. If you cannot see it, you may have to un-check the option 'Hide extensions for known file types' in the Explorer options, so you can see the file types ini / log / txt ...

Does this mean that you are not using the latest FSX-SE beta? Do you have both FSX and FSX-SE installed? If so, check both sim folders for a Modules folder.

so... i am using the latest fsx beta for steam edition... but i cant even get the installer up....it starts for 2 secs and then crashes i cant find any FSUIPC folders in my steam fsx root folder

 

i only have the steam fsx but for some reason that folder has FS9 fs2000 and some KIOSK stuff that i k nothing about

Its probably not too clear from that FAQ entry (I will update), but you cannot use the installer for the Beta version. You have to first run the FSUIPC installer on the latest normal version, then run FSX-SE and close. You should then update FSX-SE to the Beta version and then replace the  special FSUIPC4.dll for FSX-SE Beta in the Modules folder (by overwrite the existing one).
