FSUIPC 3.999 not working


Recommended Posts

To my knowledge, I haven't' changed anything on my FS9 setup, but for some reason, my FSUIPC has quit working. I was using 3.999z2, then I tried installing 3.999z8. Neither one will connect with the Sim. The error shot attached is from Autower, but my Active Sky is also affected. I tried restarting the 'puter too, but obviously that didn't work. (If it had, I wouldn't be here!)

You don't mean "FSUIPC won't connect to the sim" -- FSUIPC is effectively part of the sim. If your applications cannot connect to FSUIPC there can be several reasons. The first thing you need to do is find the FSUIPC.LOG file, in the Modules folder, and paste its contents in a message here. Make sure FS is closed first.q

Pete, I gotta tell you... I feel like an idiot. I work in IT and didn't even think to look at that log.

 

Some plane I recently downloaded (an F104 I think) came with a key file. I hadn't actually fired up the Sim until today, and after reading the log that pointed to that key file, I knew exactly what was happening. I just deleted the key, and everything works "as advertised." Thanks much!

 

If you're ever in GSO, your first beer's on me!

I did some digging, and it was indeed the F-104 that included the key file, along with FSUIPC 3.8.2.0 and an ini file to go with it. The package is the F-104S freeware from the Sim Skunk Works freeware page. I may still try it out, but if there are issues due to not having a key, I'll just ditch it. I don't need to fly that fast anyway. :P

If the key file caused FSUIPC to not respond properly to applications, it was an illegal pirate key in any case. And version 3.82 is very old and not supported in any case.
