FSFK and FS Commander

[chevol]

Hi,

I am unable to connect to these programmes. Here are the messages I am getting:

- FSFK: error IPC timed out all retries

- FS Commander: unable to connect to Flight simulator message # (no process response)

I have the latest FSUIPC registered version (just bought it last week). I am running FSX on Win 7 home premium edition.

FSX runs well with Vatsim SB, no problem there.

Looking at the FSUIPC log I see a number of "NOT FOUND" lines...

Can you help me ?

best regards,

Luc

Hi Jim,

Here is a copy of my FSUIPC install log:

Problem solved thanks to Shaun Fletcher from Aerosoft. The programmes have to be "Run as administrator"... not obvious to a non technician like me !
