Pete Dowson Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Is there a Modules folder in the main FSX folder? If so, please find the FSUIPC4 Install log file, and paste its contents into a reply here. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Dowson Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Installer for FSUIPC4.DLL version 4.934 Okat, all that looks okay. So, two more files to check: First, is there an FSUIPC4.LOG file in that Modules folder? If so then FSUIPC4 is being loaded -- please paste its contents here. Second, the DLL.XML file is responsible for telling SimConnect which modules to load. Maybe it is corrupt, so please let me see that. You can find it here: C:\Users\Dougies\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX Finally, take a look in the FSX.CFG file in the same folder. No need to post it here. If there are any entries referring to FSUIPC in the [Trusted] section, delete them. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Dowson Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 there is no log file in the modules folder. there is also no fsuipc entries in the trusted section here is the DLL file That looks fine. So it is a puzzle. SimConnect is ignoring the entry in the DLL.XML file? Do the other modules load -- eg the one before FSUIPC, "RAASPRO"? Maybe we need a SimConnect log to see what it says. There's a thread in the FAQ subforum which tells you how to get one of those. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougie51 Posted May 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) RAASPRO does load. i made a "Simconnect.ini" file and saved it into the Flight SImulator X Files I copy and pasted the text below into notepad and saved file but i do not no where i can find the actual log? i ran fsx after i made it but cant locate the log PS, i am using windows 8 if that is relevant.

[SimConnect] level=Verbose console=No file=path to FSX\Modules\SimConnect%01u.Log file_max_index=9 Er ... the log would be in the FSX modules folder if you'd put the path to it where it clearly says "path to FSX\Modules". As it is that path is invalid so no log will be generated. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougie51 Posted May 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 i did type "file=path to FSX\Modules\SimConnect%01u.Log" but the only files in the modules folder are FSUIPC Documents, FSUIPC Install, FSUIPC.DLL and FSUIPC.key Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The path to the FSX modules folder is NOT "path to ..." YOU must fill that part in with the actual path to the FSX folder on your specific PC!!!! There has to be a Drive, for instance, like C: A typical FS path is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X", but it depends on your setup. On my system it is simply "E:\FSX"., so I would put: file=E:\FSX\Modules\SimConnect%01u.Log See? YOU have to fill in the path!!!! Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougie51 Posted May 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 i typed "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Modules\SimConnect%01u.Log" But there is still no log file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you omit the "file=" part by any chance? I think you'd better show me the SimConnect.INI file again, and also tell me where you put it! I've never ever have anyone fail to get a SimConnect log before. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but I'm all out of ideas. I can only suggest you reinstall everything and hope it then works. I'm absolutely amazed that you have the other add-ins loading -- it seems impossible given that even the basic Simconnect facilities aren't working. One last question -- you did prepare the file using something like Notepad, didn't you, not Word or a word processor of any kind? It must be a normal text file, NOT a word processed file.

Thomas Richter Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Hi, don't forget you cannot write an file type INI to C:\Program Files ... under Win7. And the original example from MS and also from LM doesn't work because they want to write to C:\ that doesn't work either under Win7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something must have been corrupted, but I've no idea what could give those symptoms. I'm glad you are okay now. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
