I'm a newbie trying to get FSX-SE box edition that I recently purchased off ebay to work with my Logitech Multipanel that I recently got for X-mas. It didn't work so I got SPAD and FSUIPC4 and ever since then FSX-SE crashes shortly after entering free flight. I see a note here indicating I need to use a 4.974c if I'm using the beta version of FSX-SE but I have no idea if that's the case. I have also posted a similar thread in the FSX forum, here but the first fix recommended there of changing the last digit of a line to a 1 did not work in the FSX.cfg file, so I posted it here, as the problem seems to be stemming from FSUIPC4.

I have FSX, FS9, and FSX-SE folders on my computer. My son is having fun playing Combat Flight Simulator 3 Battle for Europe, which thankfully still works. I'm not sure, frankly what folder that is in.

 

Here is a txt file I found in the modules folder for FSUIPC4 called FSUIPC4_prev

fsx.exe version = 10.0.63003.0

I see the version number is very similar to the beta number that is quoted in a sticky in this forum. I could have sworn that this is the same thing I checked when I was in windows finder earlier and the version number was entirely different. I'm thinking I need to get the updated version 4.974c?

 

I'd be glad to register and purchase FSUIPC4 if I can get it to work, but frankly I'm very confused now. All I wanted to do was get these logitech panels to work as advertised and really have no desire to change the way they operate or function at this point. I have no idea at all what widefs7 is or why I'm thinking of getting it. Also, it's been along time since I've used a windows pc, as I'm mostly a mac user now, so seeing all these acronyms is very new to me. I'd like to know more about the naming conventions of these files if I'm going to be using them much more. I am shocked at how much work has to be done to get MSFX to work and am hoping that FSUIPC4 makes things simpler in the future.

I got FSUIPC4 to work and FSX-SE doesn't crash!

Now I just need to get these panels working: Logitech Multipanel, switchpanel, and comm panel

I'm assuming I can download a profile somewhere that is already configured.

Sorry to post so much information. My trouble came in that I have a few versions of FSX running and it took me a while to figure out which one STEAM was using as I did not know STEAM was the name of the folder in question.  

Here's the path to where I put the most recent DLL

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\Modules

SO, now I will look for a place to find these profiles that I'm sure someone has for the logitech panels.

Sorry for the late response, but glad FSUIPC is now working for you. If you are using SPAD.next, there are plenty of freely available profiles for various aircraft, available from within SPAD.next itself.

Regards,

John
