Pete Dowson Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 i am trying to hook up fs commander with a pmdg 747-400 queen of the skies. FS Commander is a program which links to FS, not to any specific aircraft. Let's deal with the two issues separately. when i open fs2004 i load the 747 and a flt plan eddk eddh, i do the tutorial i follow the tutorial to the letter then when i go to hook up to fsuipc there is nothing in the cockpit screen of fs2004. What do you think you mean by "hook up to FSUIPC". There is no such facility as a hook for you to hook up to. As far as you are concerned, when using programs like the PMDG aircraft and FS commander, the actions of FSUIPC are invisible to you, they happen behind the scenes. So please explain the part "when i go to hook up to fsuipc": what exactly is this action you do? You also say you follow some tutorial "to the letter". What tutorial is that? Whilst you are following it, is the FS2004 cockpit screen "empty", or is it okay then becoming empty when you do this mysterious "hook up"? And what precisely do you mean by there being "nothing in the cockpit screen"? Really, there is absolutely nothing you should need to know about FSUIPC at all, even whether it is there, to use these two add-ons. They use FSUIPC invisibly.

veshagoo Posted September 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 hi..appreciate your reply..the bottom line is there is nothing from fs commander to follow in fs 2004, whereas there is the whole moving map and the gps window in fsx..i mean when i go to fsx then setup fs commander to do a flt (tutorial for fsc that comes with download)..i have the moving map and the gps window...when i start fs2004 and setup the flt then minimize fs 2004 i then setup fs commander and when i go back to fs2004 and there is nothing from fsc there ..there is no moving map no gps etc..i hope this explains it...i have nothing from fsc when i open fs2004 but i have the full fsc part when i do fsx..rgds ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This now really sounds like a question for FSCommander support. I don't have the program and have no idea what you expect to see. I think FSCommander has much more to interface to FS than merely via FSUIPC. If you have installed it and got it working for FSX, will the same installation work with FS2004? This is a question for FSC support. One thing to check, first, though. Are you perhaps, for some reason, running FS2004 in "elevated administrator" mode (i.e. "run asadmin.", or set to run in that mode in its Properties)? If so you will need to run FSC in that mode too -- or perhaps vice versa? There's no communication allowed by Windows between programs running at different levels.

veshagoo Posted September 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 hi...fsc support thought this might be an fsuipc problem...i do run fsc in ..run as administrator...also fs2004 and fsx in ..run as administrator..fsc is a flight planner program so when you fly you are able to see a moving map..i can get in fsx but not fs2004...thanks for your advice i will contact fsc support once more..best rgds ken hanson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Dowson Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 hi...fsc support thought this might be an fsuipc problem Why, what are the symptoms from FSC? What does it say? If it cannot connect it would surely say so? If you merely want me to check if FSUIPC is running okay, please show me the FSUIPC.LOG file, from the FS Modules folder. You can paste its contents here, in a message. ...i do run fsc in ..run as administrator...also fs2004 and fsx in ..run as administrator. Ugh. Why?
