thomas.tasler Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Hello Pete, at first let me thank you for your great work for the community. As a longtime user of the freeware version of FSUIPC I had the pleasure of flying virtually around the world with nice ATC. That wouldn't have been possible without your great work. Yesterday I bought the payware FSUIPC together with WidFs. And thats when my problems started. I payed for both and received the Registration-Key within minutes. I've read the manuals and decided "Let's do it". I want to use my PC (still with Windows2000) for Fligtsimulator only. The Laptop (IBM Thinkpad/Win XP) is supposed to run the squawkbox via a LAN between Laptop and PC. I installed everything corrctly. I start FS and my aircraft is on stand. I then start widefs and it imidiatly connects to FS. But when I want to start squawkbox this error-messgae pops up: "Squawkbox was unable to establish a connection with FS. You are seeing this because FS is not running or there is a problem with FSUIPC..." Well I installed both SB3 and SB4 in order to find out what is wrong. But everytime this message pops up. If I reinstall fsuipc and don't register, the SB works fine if it's running on the same computer as fs. But as soon as I register FSUIPC the problems start again. I hope you can help me Pete. Kind Regards, Thomas Tasler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Dowson Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 "Squawkbox was unable to establish a connection with FS. You are seeing this because FS is not running or there is a problem with FSUIPC..." This is running SB on the Client PC or the FS PC? If I reinstall fsuipc and don't register, the SB works fine if it's running on the same computer as fs. But as soon as I register FSUIPC the problems start again. In that case you certainly have a registration problem. Either the keys you've got are illegally made, or your system date says they are not valid yet because you purchased them AFTER today's date. I expect it is the latter. Correct your PC's date and it will be okay. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
