Applications not interfacing with FSUIPC

[achmed]

I've had FSUIPC installed in FSX-SE before, and it's worked. I've had P3D v2 for a while but just got around to installing FSUIPC. While it loads and shows up in the menu in P3D, applications like vUACARS and FSXWX don't interface with it. It seems to work in the sim but not outside of the sim. This is really frustrating since I've had it working before. It's just the free version. I've tried 4.955c and 4.494p and neither works. The latter I've used before and it works and I found an installer for it laying around. Some help with this would be greatly appreciated.

There is no difference to the interface FSUIPC presents to applications whether it is running in FSX, FSX-SE or P3D (or even FS98, FS2000, FS20002, CFS1 or CFS2)! Maybe those programs check whethe rit is FSX or P3D and make their own decision, but this is unusual, and all the programs I know which use FSUIPC run fine independently on whether it is with FSX or P3D.

There are NOT two versions, "free" and otherwise. It is identical. The only things purchasing it gives you are the User Facilities. Registration enables those which are otherwise locked.

I think you need to contact Support for those two programs. Oh, and make sure you are not running P3D "as administrator" and those programs not, or vice versa, because programs of different privilege levels can't talk to each other.

If you want me to check FSUIPC is running okay you need to find the FSUIPC4.log file in the P3D Modules folder, and paste its contents here. Please close P3D first.

I've tried running both P3D and the other applications as an admin, no profit. I've also installed it into FSX-SE and it no longer works. I know that both applications work because they work with XPUIPC, which is the FSUIPC equivalent of X-Plane (it spoofs FSUIPC).

Not sure what I did, but somehow they've both started to work.

It is n't relevant -- the point is they must be run in the same way.

Not really as I asked. I said to close P3D first.

Good. Saves you going to their support forums.
