FSUIPC 3.85 Connectivity

[flipside]

I have a registered version of FSUIPC 3.85. It is supposed to connect to the Ready for Pushback 747-200 aircraft in FS 2004 and it is supposed to enable a Real Time utility by Joshua Robertson and found on pg.7 in Simviation Utilities for FS 2004 to connect with the Flight Simulator Time Clock. But it doesn't connect. What do I have to do to make these items work? It is extremely irritating that I cannot use these two items that I really want to use.

You don't need it to be registered in order for those programs to connect, as they are both licensed in any case.

But it doesn't connect. What do I have to do to make these items work? It is extremely irritating that I cannot use these two items that I really want to use.

Maybe the "extreme irritation" should be kept to yourself, as it may well be of your own doing? Let's find out ...

Please check the FSUIPC.LOG file which you will find in the FS Modules folder. Does it state a problem? Show it to me if you don't understand it.

And try temporarily removing the FSUIPC.KEY file from the Modules folder, then load FS. If the programs connect then, you have one of these problems:

1. Either you have the date set incorrectly on your PC, and it actually precedes the date of the purchase of your FSUIPC registration, making it invalid,

2. Or you have an incorrect, possibly pirated, registration key. If so, delete the KEY file and go and purchase a legitimate registration.

If you think it is nether of these then please ZIP up your FSUIPC.KEY file and send it to me at petedowson@btconnect.com.

Hey Pete! As it turns out, I had about 3 different FSUIPC programs in my computer and the one I wanted to connect with was inside a folder in my Modules folder. So I got rid of the other 2 Fsuipc's, got 3.85 out of the folder and reloaded into my Modules folder with the Key file and that solved the problem. Thanks for your help and if I need anything else I have added your forums site to my Favorites list. :D
