FSUIPC not in addon bar in FSX

[zacster309]

Hi I have recently installed FSUIPC into FSX and the installer said it was successfully installed. But it is not in the add ons drop down box. Can someone help?

I'd need to see the Installer log -- which would be in your FSX\Modules folder. Also see if there is an FSUIPC4 log file. Both files are plain text, and you can paste them into a reply here. Use the <> button above the edit area.

4.853 is about two years old and well out of date. You need to download the currently supported version, 4.937. I cannot support old versions.

This is what it said when i installed the newer one.

[Pete Dowson]

This is what it said when i installed the newer one.

 

Okay.  And when you ran FSX, was there no prompt to ask you to approve the running of FSUIPC4? Is there no FSUIPC4.LOG file in the FSX Modules folder?

 

If these things didn't occur, then the problem is that SimConnect isn't loading FSUIPC4 in the first place. This is usually because of a corrupted DLL.XML file. Maybe this was caused by some previous installer.

 

You can find this file in this folder:

 

C:\Users\Zack\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX

 

It is also a text file. If you'd like to paste it here I'll see if I can spot the problem. An alternative, as a test, is to rename it (rather than delete it) then try running the FSUIPC4 installer again. It will create a fresh copy with only FSUIPC4 being loaded.

 

Pete

[zacster309]

No there were no prompts. Also, there is no FSUIPC4.LOG file in my modules folder. Here is the DLL.XML file.

I will also try to rename the DLL.XML file.

Thanks for the continued help.

[Pete Dowson]

No there were no prompts. Also, there is no FSUIPC4.LOG file in my modules folder. Here is the DLL.XML file.

 

Wow! I've never seen so many add-in DLLs being requested. I wonder if the SimConnect DLL loader is choking? Do all those others load and work correctly?What's that, 22 DLLs with only the three default SDK ones disabled?

 

There is one error, in the first of the three entries (?!) for Mindstar Hypergauge, in this line:

 

<ManualLoad>Fasle</ManualLoad>

 

"Fasle" should be "False" of course. Whether this would stop the subsequent DLLs loading I don't know -- but if not, maybe trying to load Mindstar Hypergauge three times causes the entries following to fail -- i.e. FSUIPC4  and maybe others?

 

The entries following the erroneous line are trying to load these:

 

Mindstar Hypergauge (the second time)

PMDG Interface

RAASPRO

CMeteoXml

FeelThere EJetX Helper

Flight Recorder

Mindstar Hypergauge (the third time)

FSUIPC 4

 

I will also try to rename the DLL.XML file.

 

 

Try correcting it first. Delete the entire first two entries for Mindstar Hypergauge. i.e. this part:

 

<Launch.Addon>

<Name>Mindstar Hypergauge</Name>

<Disabled>False</Disabled>

<ManualLoad>Fasle</ManualLoad>

<Path>Modules\HyperGauge.dll</Path>

</Launch.Addon>

  <Launch.Addon>

<Name>Mindstar Hypergauge</Name>

<Disabled>False</Disabled>

<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>

<Path>Modules\HyperGauge.dll</Path>

</Launch.Addon>

I renamed it and it worked. Thanks for the help.

[Pete Dowson]

I renamed it and it worked. Thanks for the help.

 

Yes, but now you won't have all those other DLLs running, which presumably you need? Best to correct the original file as I suggested above.
