Why no messages scrolling in FSUIPC/SB4

[johndaph]

I have been using FS9 with a reg copy of FSUIPC and also SB4, messages were scrolling across the screen and appearing in the Text Box of SB4 without any problems. now following a reinstall of FS9 the scrolling has stopped but the messages appear in the text box. What should the settings be in FSUIPC to give the single line text messages please, I didnt uninstall SB4 only FS9 and downloaded a new FSUIPC module and registered it.

I really would appreciate help with this problem please. :(

The only options controlling suppression or redirection of such messages, assuming SB4 is directing them through FSUIPC (is it?), are on the very front TAB (the About one, showing the version numbers and Registration stuff. These options apply whether or not FSUIPC is registered. They are explained quite early on in the FSUIPC User Guide, which you will find within the issued FSUIPC ZIP file.

Whether messages scroll or are static is normally determined by the application -- FSUIPC has no influence over that. However, there are options in FS itself which may well affect this. Check the FS menus if you are getting the messages in the FS message window but they are static, not scrolling.

Pete,

Thanks for the quick reply - I will gothrough the FS Settings again but there are no messages appearing scrolling or otherwise as there were before I reinstalled.

If the message window/bar is being suppressed by FSUIPC, simply unsuppress it -- uncheck the option on the main About tab in FSUIPC options. I did point these options out to you as well.

There's no option in FS itself to suppress them altogether, only to control scrolling.

Peter,

I finally solved the problem by uninstalling FS9 and FSUIPC together with Squawbox 4, the text line now appears as previously. I cant say I understand why this problem occurred or why the reinstall solved the problem. Thanks for the assistance.

Regards. John. :)
