FSX wont start with FSUIPC4.dll active

[Mortenba]

Hi Pete

I just fired up my sim after sevral years, and ran into an issue with FSX not starting at all. I have narrowed the problem down to FSUIPC4.dll. After I installed FSUIPC4, the FSX starts up and the it just "dies". No error messages or anything. If I rename the FSUIPC.dll to a different extension, then FSX starts ok.

 

Here is from FSUIPC4.log:

********* FSUIPC4, Version 4.975a (19th May 2020) by Pete Dowson *********

       15          window.dll: 10.0.60905.0
       15 ----------------------------------

 

The FSUIPC.INI file is empty, as FSX never starts up and I assume that's why it cannot create the INI file.

 

Any help on this would be highly appreciated.

You are using the original bug-ridden and unsupported version of FSX. Try updating to at least SP! or the SP2 versions. Or even the FSX-SE versions available on Steam -- they are much better.

Hi Pete

yes, you are spot-on I think. Do you know where I can obtain SP2?
