prepar 3d and fsuipc 4

[sxa1376]

Hello Pete i need your help because i have an issue with fsuipc4 registration in prepar 3d. I install fsuipc 4 with succes and after this i check to put new registration and the both option then i put my registration details for both fsuipc 4 and widefs 7 and i am pressing the confirm button in each case. Until now everything is ok. Now i am starting prepar 3d. First of all it is not asking me the usuall stuff " if i trust the module ", then when inside prepar 3d in a flight i go addons fsuipc and the fsuipc is unregistered and it tells me to use the installer to register. After that i close prepar 3d and i open prepar3d.cfg file but inside this i cannot find the [Trusted] section at all. I am running again the installer and i am repeating the registration steps but with the same results above. Any ideas? Many thanks in advance.

I am having the same issue with Prepar3d and FSUIPC4.70b. I install and register, and everything seems to work as it should, however when I run Prepar3d FSUIPC shows up as unregistered. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Any FSUIPC4.LOG file to show me?

FSUIPC4 registration is no different in FSX, ESP, Prepar3D.

There is no registration recorded in the FSUIPC4.KEY file, which you should find in the Prepar3D Modules folder. Try running the Installer again and re-registering, but run it by right-clicking and selecting "run as ... administrator". I suspect you have installed Prepar3D in the part of the file system protected by Windows.

I have Prepar3d installed on a secondary hard drive to avoid Windows issues. I was able to get it working by re-running the installer a couple times. Thank-you very much for your help.

Any suggestions, first time with Prepar3d and FSUIPC, never had any trouble before and have used it for years. Thanks for your continued support Pete!

Can you show me the FSUIPC4.LOG file please?

Hi Pete

I uninstalled Prepar3d and re-installed it in its own folder on the C Drive.Ran the FUIPC4 Installer and have it working now. So that is done.

Not sure what may have been the problem but that is how I worked around it.

Something to do with protection in those Program Files folders. But what, I've no idea, because in all previous cases either the Installer's granted "elevated admin" privileges have allowed the FSUIPC4 Installer adequate access, or certainly right-clicking and running it "as administrator" has worked.

I think some recent windows updates from MS may have changed the rules yet again, yet there's no such trouble here with all the latest updates. Mind you, the first thing I do after a windows install is turn that damned UAC off!

Hello Pete,

I have bought some ftx/orbx sceneries and installed them in prepar3d, when I open prepar3d there are 4 messages each from the installed orbx sceneries which says, the module

objectflow CZST.DLL has not been tested for compatibility with the FS version you installed, your version is 1.3.3708.0.

if you run the module it may cause problems or a crash...4 of them from seperate sceneries displayed these messages.

I thought prepar3d is a new version right I never had these messages before not even in FSX.

What is it that I do wrong or should fix?

Thanks in advance Pete,

I can't really support other folks' software, so this is really a question for FTX/Orbx. It sounds like you are using scenery designed for FSX specifically and it includes a module which does not recognise P3D. It may or may not matter -- try ignoring the errors and carrying on. Otherwise you must ask FTX. I don't have any of their sceneries and I don't use P3D.

Thanks Pete! I have ignored the errors and the game is still awsome! so far everything is fine now, thanks to reading the forum!

have a good day

Hi Pete! I have P3D 1.4 and FSUIPC 4859r.

After register modules, I have configured all of the axis joysticks, pedals, THROTTLE QUADRANT and buttons - all works if run P3D via R:\Prepar3D\Prepar3D.exe

if run in P3D in Legacy mode R:\Prepar3D\fsx.exe - previously customized module does not work (axis joysticks, pedals, THROTTLE QUADRANT)

how to make the settings of the module worked in Legacy mode P3D?

Thank you

p/s

I opened the file r:\Prepar3D\Modules\FSUIPC4.ini and copy all text and paste in file r:\Prepar3D\Modules\FSUIPC4.fsx.ini and save it

Run P3D, and all the same FSUIPC not work

sorry for my bad english )

What's "legacy mode"? Please run P3D normally.

Pete

Thank you - solved the problem :)

"Legacy mode" is a function of the FSX to P3D migration tool, Pete. It convinces add-ons that P3D is FSX to allow them to run when they are coded to specifically work with FSX.

Oh, right. Well if it renames the P3D exe then all the files FSUIPC needs have to be renamed too. I think I see what the OP was getting at now -- he adapted the INI file name but probably forgot to also attend to his KEY filename, which would have made it appear unregistered.

Thanks,

Pete

in the folder Prepar3D - 2 exe files: p3d.exe and fsx.exe. Legacy mode run with fsx.exe

we are talking about this utility http://secure.simmarket.com/fsx-to-prepare3d-migration-tool.phtml
