Hello,

I've downloaded FSUIPC 4.57 and intalled it correctly. Trusted by FSX, but no additional menu option visible when FSX launched.

I've repeated the operation several times, tried to go back to version 4.3 with no result

Is there a possible link with settings to activate SDK tools, as I could see this menu option before?

here is a copy of FSX.CFG and XML.DLL, which appear to be ok as for me. (OS = Vista)

Thanks for your help

Is it actually running? You can tell by checking to see if it has created a new FSUIPC4.LOG file in the FSX Modules folder. Additionally it will have revised the INI file so the date/time on that will be up to date.

If there's a Log file then it is a SimConnect problem. Please show me the Log (paste the Text here).

What have you changed between times?

The FSX.CFG file isn't relevant.

Your dll.xml file appears to have its first line missing. It should start with:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>

Otherwise it looks okay.

What have you changed between times?

Nothing special; just installed some softwares like SBuilderX, WhisPlacer, Microsoft .NET Framework V3.5 SP1,

then launched the configSDK.exe, which activates Object Placement Tool,Traffic Toolbox and Visual Effects Tool within FSX.

I can see these 3 lines in a "outils" (tools) option at the end of main menu but no more the FSUIPS one.

(this could be easier to explain with an image but I don't know how to insert one in the post)

Your dll.xml file appears to have its first line missing. It should start with:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>

Yes, the dll.xml file begins with this line.

here is the log file:

No, that is the Installer log for version 4.30. Haven't you installed 4.57?

It's the FSUIPC4 log you need to find. If there isn't one from the last run of FSX you did, then FSUIPC4 isn't loading. THEN I'd need to see the Installer log, but for 4.57 not 4.30.

and another one, which is Greek to me, but seems to point out some problem:

Okay, that's the FSUIPC4 log, but again it is for 4.30 not 4.57.

3152 SimConnect_Open succeeded: waiting to check version okay

14321 Exception 5 "VERSION_MISMATCH", Ref 1, Version 0.61242: Open: SimConnect Version incorrect!

Yes, that confirms it. Your SimConnect installation is corrupted somehow. You may need to uninstall Accelerator or SP2 (whichever you last installed) and re-install it.

Nothing special; just installed some softwares like SBuilderX, WhisPlacer, Microsoft .NET Framework V3.5 SP1,

then launched the configSDK.exe, which activates Object Placement Tool,Traffic Toolbox and Visual Effects Tool within FSX.

Hmmm. Something happened amongst that lot which messed SimConnect up somehow. It was the SP2 version of the SDK was it? You shouldn't use the original once you've updated FSX -- there are updates to the SDK matching each update to FSX.

Do you think I can try to change the value true by false directly in that file ?

Good, well done.

However I've lost the other options...wich disable value are "tue" in the dll.xml file

You mean the SDK utilities? Just re-use the same DLL.XML, the one you posted here a few messages ago.

Be sure to put that missing first line in, though! ;-)

Do you think I can try to change the value true by false directly in that file ?

In the "True" lines? Yes -- if those entries are still there.

Pete
