PH-HZU Posted July 29, 2009 Report Posted July 29, 2009 Dear sir, After "just placing the FSUIPC.DLL" version 3.90 and starting Flight Simulator 2004, I get the following error when trying to start the PMDG 737; "Flight Simulator was unable to load some aircraft or software. "Gauges\PMDG_73NG_MAIN.GAU"". Obviously, the PMDG 737 won't start and whole Flight Simulator 2004 can not operate anymore and needs to be restarted. Also an other error occurs when I try to start the Saitek Pro Flight Switch Panel Interface from an Italian designer which recommended FSUIPC.DLL version 3.72 or later to operate his programm. Well I get an error with the following message; "Acces violation at adress 004602E7 in module "SaitekPanel.exe" Read of adress 00000005C". I am not sure if this has anything to do with the FSUIPC.DLL. Before installing the 3.90 version I owned the 3.40 version. And from what I read in the .pdf file, I had to remove all older versions of FSUIPC before installing the latest one, which I did (I remember removing a configuration file, a readme file and a .reg file or something). But after installing version 3.90 the problems started and I find this very annoying and disappointing. I also noticed that when I restarted my computer, the FSUIPC.DLL file disappeared from my Modules folder. The .MCRO file for the PMDG 737 did not disappear. Please help me out of here! PH-HZU
Pete Dowson Posted July 29, 2009 Report Posted July 29, 2009 After "just placing the FSUIPC.DLL" version 3.90 and starting Flight Simulator 2004, I get the following error when trying to start the PMDG 737; "Flight Simulator was unable to load some aircraft or software. "Gauges\PMDG_73NG_MAIN.GAU"". Well, FSUIPC 3.90 is most certainly completely compatible with PMDG, so I'm not sure what you've got corrupted there. That specific message doesn't mean it is a problem related to FSUIPC at all. In fact I suspect you are more likely to get the PMDG aircraft to fail if you don't have FSUIPC installed! Please show me the FSUIPC.LOG file (from the FS Modules folder). Make sure FS is closed after such an error, and paste the whole thing here. I'll certainly have a look for you, but you may have to refer it to PMDG support if I can't see anything. Also an other error occurs when I try to start the Saitek Pro Flight Switch Panel Interface from an Italian designer which recommended FSUIPC.DLL version 3.72 or later to operate his programm. Well I get an error with the following message; "Acces violation at adress 004602E7 in module "SaitekPanel.exe" Read of adress 00000005C". I am not sure if this has anything to do with the FSUIPC.DLL. No, nothing at all to do with FSUIPC. If a separate EXE program crashes it contains a bug. You need to use the support for the program. And don't use any older version of FSUIPC if you want any support at all from me. Before installing the 3.90 version I owned the 3.40 version. And from what I read in the .pdf file, I had to remove all older versions of FSUIPC before installing the latest one, which I did (I remember removing a configuration file, a readme file and a .reg file or something). There's never any need to remove anything at all when updating your FSUIPC. You simply copy the new DLL in, overwriting the old one. You are evidently completely misreading the extremely simple one-step install instructions (amounting to just "copy the DLL into the FS Modules folder.") I also noticed that when I restarted my computer, the FSUIPC.DLL file disappeared from my Modules folder. The .MCRO file for the PMDG 737 did not disappear. Nothing in any of my software ever deletes anything from your computer. It sounds like you really never actually installed FSUIPC.DLL in the FS Modules folder in the first place. That would certainly explain your PMDG problem, maybe the other too! Perhaps you put it into the main FS folder by mistake? Pete

Pete Dowson Posted July 30, 2009 Report Posted July 30, 2009 I'm not sure which is the .LOG file, so I have here two copies from my modules folder which have the names FSUIPC The LOG file has filetype LOG. The first file you show is the INI file, the configuration settings for FSUIPC. If you cannot see the types of files you need to change your Explorer file options to stop hiding them. The log file shows everything in FSUIPC is running fine: ********* FSUIPC, Version 3.90 by Pete Dowson *********Running on Windows Version 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 Verifying Certificate for "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\MODULES\FSUIPC.dll" now ...

And it doesn't show any problems with any PMDG aircraft because you didn't bother to load it, see: 5015 FLIGHTS\OTHER\FLTSIM.flt 5046 AIRCRAFT\c172\Cessna172SP.air 9968 Advanced Weather Interface Enabled 18921 C:\Documents and Settings\My name\My Documents\Flight Simulator Files\UI generated flight.flt 19281 Clear All Weather requested: external weather discarded 47375 Traffic File #14 = "scenery\world\scenery\traffic030528" 522140 System time = 00:30:09, FS2004 time = 00:28:50 (07:28Z) 522140 *** FSUIPC log file being closed See? You simply had the default Cessna 172 loaded. If you aren't trying the very thing which causes an error, how do you expect the Log to show any information about it? Regards Pete

Pete Dowson Posted July 30, 2009 Report Posted July 30, 2009 From the last line, Flight Simulator 2004 stops running, its just frozen and needs to be restarted. Okay. It certainly looks as if you have a corrupted PMDG install. Trying uninstalling it completely, then re-installing it. If there's still no joy you will have to use PMDG support. And maybe they have some updates you've not yet applied? Before you do that, you could just try the latest version of FSUIPC, just in case it makes a difference (though this is clutching at straws). Version 3.916 is available in the "Updates ..." Announcement at the top of this Forum. Regards Pete
