AFR.Friendly and FSUIPC not registered

[Arismac]

G'day Pete,

 

I have been out of the cockpit for awhile and am trying to return to the AFR.Friendly mode mentioned HERE. I am not able to use this method of convicing FSUIPC that I DO have a registered copy in AFR.Friendly mode. Waht have I done wrong, please.

 

I have FSUIPC Ver 4.936 installed, registered and working just fine in P3D v2.3 without the SLI "tweak".

Looks like you've simply not followed the instructions given at all. The directory listing picture you posted shows you placed the P3D EXE for the SLI mode you want into the Modules folder. Why? Surely that's the P3D version you want to run! It can't run from the Modules folder!

 

Also you still have Windows hiding the filetypes from you so you cannot really tell what file is which. Please change your Explorer folder options to unhide fitletypes. Instructions are given for this in the FSUIPC User Guide (and I think, even in the Install guide, but i'm not sure about that).

 

Regards

Pete

Peter, Peter, I know I am a septuagenarium and have been for some years but I am not ready yet to go and fly a kite just yet. The first grab is after running P3D just once from the exe file shown in the second grab. What I think has happened is that somehow I have managed to get a second file extension on the two files concerned. ie: "D3D.exe.exe"

 

Don't get too grumpy Pete 'cause you have a lot of years left to get very grumpy and I know all about that. I will leave you my wheel chair when I go. LOL

 

Cheers, Mac

Sorry, you'll have to explain what you mean by all that. Are you trying to make fun of me, another septuagenarium, for some reason? Maybe to you 71 is a young age, but I don't feel young at all, especially with my RP deteriorating still. White stick time coming soon I fear. :sad:

 

Did you rename those two files in the Modules folder? If not I don't understand why there's a ".exe" in them. I'm think the INI and LOG files I think should actually be named

 

FSUIPC4.AFR-FriendlyD3D.ini

FSUIPC4.AFR-FriendlyD3D.log

 

though there is no need to do so as such files will be generated automatically when FSUIPC executes. You'd only need to do it with the INI to retain your settings. If FSUIPC did generate them itself with the .exe part included, then, fine, that maybe is how it should be.

 

The names would certainly have an ".exe" in them if the executable P3D file being used had a double .exe (ie .exe.exe), which seems unlikely. I don't use P3D myself, let alone have luxuries like SLI, so I'm not able to repro this in any case.

 

If you want FSUIPC still registered you still need to take another step, i.e. make a copy of that FSUIPC4.KEY file renamed as FSUIPC4.AFR-FriendlyD3D.key, or, perhaps more likely in the event, 

FSUIPC4.AFR-FriendlyD3D.exe.key

PS I hope not to need a wheelchair just yet, but that could depend on just what's wrong with my back. Another physio appointment this morning. :sad:. At least we have the Stannah stair lift installed ready.
