liffy50 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I have installed FS9 on a new PC and FS Meteo could not connect with FS9(with SP1) after downloading metar files (FS Meteo displays "waiting for FSUIPC" indefinitely). So thinking it was an FSMeteo incompatibility I bought Active Sky too and it cannot connect either ("ASv65 disconnected" message in the Active Sky programme). This makes me think that FSUIPC maybe my problem. I am running a registered version of 3.75 under windows Vista. I took out my FSUIPC key file in case that was corrupt but made no difference. Also tried turning off antivirus software without any difference being made. I've searched the forum here and also over at Active Sky and there does not seem to be a solution. Any help more than welcome! :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Dowson Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 This makes me think that FSUIPC maybe my problemI am running a registered version of 3.75 under windows Vista. I took out my FSUIPC key file in case that was corrupt but made no difference. Also tried turning off antivirus software without any difference being made. Sounds like it isn't installed! There's no anti-virus or firewall problems with FSUIPC3. Is there a Modules menu entry with FSUIPC listed? Does it open? Run FS9, run something to show the problem. Close FS9 down. Find the FSUIPC.LOG file in the FS Modules folder. Paste it into a reply here. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the FSUIPC.LOG file - just took out the user name/address That's all okay. I can see absolutely no reason why your programs won't connect. The only thing I can think of to get more information is to enable IPC read and write logging in the FSUIPC Logging options page, left hand side. Let's see if the log shows any attempt by any programs to talk to FSUIPC. Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSkorna Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Hi, Are you the same user that has been writing to me about this situation? I just want to know if we have one user or two users with this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liffy50 Posted February 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Hi Jim, Thats me - same person, same problem. I've also emailed the PC manufacturer because I'm totally puzzled with this too. The problem does not seem to make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
