JSkorna Posted October 13, 2010 Report Posted October 13, 2010 Hi, Please try the latest version of FSUIPC. Yes, it is. You click on the .exe file and the installer does the rest. http://fsuipc.simflight.com/beta/FSUIPC4.zip

Andydigital Posted October 14, 2010 Report Posted October 14, 2010 Do you have the service packs installed for FSX? The log would suggest that you are using the original release from 2006 if I am reading it correctly. If you don't have SP1 and SP2 installed then that is likely where the problem lies.
360kal Posted October 15, 2010 Author Report Posted October 15, 2010 oh wow thanks for your help i never saw the point of installing the service packs but now i know. thanks to andy and jskorna
Pete Dowson Posted October 18, 2010 Report Posted October 18, 2010 the installation of this program is not as straight forward as it looks like on the guide :( Really? In what way? If there's no add-ons menu then you either have a broken SimConnect installation (i.e. your FSX installation is incorrect), or some other add-on installer has made a mess of your DLL.XML file. Please use a supported version of FSUIPC -- nothing earlier than 4.60 can be supported. From the posted Installer log I also note this: Checking version of FSX.EXE:... Version 10.0.60905.0 (Need at least 10.0.60905.0) Checking compatibility with installed SimConnect: Found SimConnect build 60905 (Original) Found SimConnect build 61242 (SP1 May07) which seems to indicate that your FSX is only in its original buggy version (60905) yet you've have the SimConnect from the SP1 update installed. This will cause problems as the SP1 SimConnect is not compatible with the original FSX installation. Regards Pete
