Meganer26r Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 I have just had my Alpine computer upgraded with an NVidia GTX 970 4GB DDR5 Jetstream Graphics Card and a Samsung 1TB SSD EVO 850 Series Memory. I have loaded FSUIPC4 4.948 followed by PFCDLL 2.41. Neither I or Alpine Computers can get the computer to recognise the Cirrus 11 console. Any ideas??

I have loaded FSUIPC4 4.948 followed by PFCDLL 2.41. Neither I or Alpine Computers can get the computer to recognise the Cirrus 11 console. Did you not get any documentation at all from PFC? I don't actually support PFC myself, they have their own support. PFC.DLL 2.41 will not work with FSUIPC4 as it is the version for FS9, as clearly shown. The one for FSX and later is PFCFSX.DLL. Why are you downloading the wrong module? Futhermore, both those drivers are for the old-style serial port devices which PFC used to make. The Cirrus 2 Pro which I used to have was not a comm/serial port device at all, but a full blown USB HID device which most certainly should at least be seen by Windows. The freeware driver I made for PFC HID interface devices, including the Cirrus, is PFCHID.DLL. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul__ Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Good afternoon Pete This is Paul from Alpine ..... I got Alan to install the PFCFSX.DLL file and not the PFC.DLL one ..... (He got that wrong in his message to you) I also made sure that the latest registered version of FSUIPC was installed prior to this ..... THE Cirrus II he has is of the Com Port variety ..... I cannot understand why the PFC module is not showing up under the Toolbar 'Add on' entry ...... FSUIPC is there though Something else which was odd .... when he started FSX after installing FSUIPC and the PFCFSX you normally get a message asking if you want to add the module but for some reason this did not happen ... Very odd! Your thoughts would be kindly appreciated Kind regards Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Dowson Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 THE Cirrus II he has is of the Com Port variety ..... Really? I never saw one of those. It must be pretty old? I cannot understand why the PFC module is not showing up under the Toolbar 'Add on' entry ...... FSUIPC is there though If it is in the FSX Modles folder it will be seen and loaded by FSUIPC. And it is FSUIPC which places the entry in the Add-Ons menu on its behalf. I use PFCFSX.DLL all the time for my PFC 737NG cockpit. Perhaps you should show me the FSUIPC4.LOG file also from the Modules folder. Paste it into a message here. Something else which was odd .... when he started FSX after installing FSUIPC and the PFCFSX you normally get a message asking if you want to add the module but for some reason this did not happen ... You won't get one for PFCFSX because it isn't loaded by FS, but by FSUIPC. I wouldn't worry if you didn't get one for FSUIPC -- if the Add-Ons menu entry is there for it, it is loading okay.

Pete Dowson Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Here is the FSUIPC log file as promised. Well, you appear to have omitted the first line which tells me the version of FSUIPC. Please don't do that next time. FSUIPC is running fine, so it looks like it cannot find PFCFSX.DLL in the Modules folder. To confirm that, please download this latest (as yet unreleased) version and copy it into the FS Modules folder: FSUIPC4948f.zip Then edit the FSUIPC4.INI file (it is a simple text file, like the LOG), adding Debug=Please LogExtras=1 to the [General] section. Then run FS again and show me the log (the complete log this time, please). Also, try running FS "as administrator" (which is, I think, a right-click option on the EXE or icon). See if that makes any difference. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
