Hello Pete, I have downloaded FSUIPC4.dll into FSX.

 

First, please always post support questions to this, the Support Forum, where they may be seen and answered!

 

Do NOT "download FSUIPC4.DLL into FSX". Download the ZIP file for the Installer, and run the Installer program. It will install FSUIPC4 properly.

 

Please read the Installation guide in the ZIP.

Thanks for the response Pete. I believe I have done this, I have posted below the installer log. If something looks wrong, please advise. If all looks good, please instruct me how to

access in order to save throttle settings per aircraft, etc. Really appreciate you guiding me through this, Macker

The installation and registration is fine.

 

As it said in the Installation guide, all the documentation is in the FSUIPC Documents subfolder, in the FSX Modules folder. For separate settings for each aircraft type you'll want to create Profiles. But first I would recommend you just do some simple things, basic assignments, with default aircraft.

 

I cannot give tutorials here (nor anywhere really). I am not a good teacher. I wrote the User Guide to be as clear as I could. I can answer specific questions if you get stuck, as can lots of others here. You'll also find useful stuff in the User Contributions subforum.

 

I'm off this weekend, back Monday.
