Linking FS Commander to FSx

[shaunk]

I thought I had downloaded FS Commander 8.6 successfully.

I am running FS x in Windows 7

However - I get the message: " Unable to connect to flight simulator Msg# (no process response) when trying to link the GPS after the flight plan has been set.

What does this mean an how can it be resolved?

Many thanks.

I don't know. It isn't one of my messages. Have you any documentation for FS Commander 8.6? Perhaps they have some support?

One thought: maybe you haven't installed FSUIPC? Or maybe it isn't running for some reason? Have you checked?

Also, if you run either FSX or FSC "as administrator" you have to run both "as administrator" -- or neither. Windows stops programs of different levels talking to each other.

Dear Pete

During the installation process I get the message: FSUIPC4.DLL version 4.3 dwnloaded successfully - I have checked in the add ons and it is there.

I was wondering if you could advise about running as Administrator - I have not heard of that before.

I downloaded FS Commander in C\FSC\.

Many thanks for your help.

FSUIPC 4.3 is very much out of date and is not supported. Furthermore, the FSUIPC4 installer has no message about "downloading". There is no Internet access in any of my programs. It is up to you to download FSUIPC4.

Please update to a supported version (currently 4.60 or later) before asking for Support.

I was wondering if you could advise about running as Administrator - I have not heard of that before.

If you haven't heard of it you aren't using it so that is not the problem.

I suspect your problem with FSCommander is about file access, and probably nothing to do with FSUIPC or any of my software. I can only advise that you contact FSCommander support. After all it is their message we are trying to understand.
