problem getting FSUIPC4 working

[phillip lloyd]

Hello,

I have a registered version of FSUIPC4 and wide server for FSX. All has been fine up to now. Recently the machine running FSX failed and I transfered the hard drive containing FSX to another machine and called it F: Eventually I got FSX to run no problem but the FSUIPC module was not present. Below are the contents of the FSUIPC4 Install and FSUIPC log files after running FSX. Is there any information you can see in them that may suggest why the module does not appear in FSX?

Regards

Phillip

That's the first problem. i cannot possibly support such an old version. the current version for FSX is 4.823.

The other serious problem is that your FSX is up to SP2/ACC level but your SimConnect installation is not, so they are incompatible. you need to install SP2 or Acceleratioin (again, if you tried already).
