AnthG87 Posted June 10, 2020 Report Posted June 10, 2020 Hi everyone, I have FSUIPC Version 5.156 installed (pay version) on P3DV4.5. I have installed AI Companion as I am using AIG Manger for AI Traffic. I keep getting a message that says ___________________________________________ "Connection Failed (FSUIPC) FSUIPC Error #2: FSUIPC_ERR_NOFS. Cannot find FSUIPC or WideFS running on this machine. " ___________________________________________ The AIG Forum has not fruited any resolution on this so far and I was wondering if anyone here might be able to steer me in the right direction for fixing the issue. Many thanks in advance!

FSUIPC data exchange works via shared memory ("memory mapped files") and that can't be done between to privilege levels. Pete
AnthG87 Posted June 10, 2020 Author Report Posted June 10, 2020 Thanks for such a quick response Pete. They're both running as ADMIN. I have just run a side by side comparison of the settings under "Properties" / "Compatibility". I have screenshots but they're too big to upload. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks!

Sorry, if they are both at the same privilege level then the problem must lie in AICompanion. I cannot debug their code -- the error message is from their program not from FSUIPC itself. If the author needs help debugging his interface to FSUIPC then he should contact us himself so we can discuss what he's doing and find out what is wrong. Maybe it is something as simple as a version check. Pete
AnthG87 Posted June 10, 2020 Author Report Posted June 10, 2020 Understood. My only question is that I do not see FSUIPC4.LOG anywhere in P3D/Modules. Does that mean that FSUIPC is not running? Could that potentially be the issue?

Does that mean that FSUIPC is not running? Could that potentially be the issue? You should have said that first. Assuming you mean "FSUIPC5.LOG" rather than "FSUIPC4.LOG", it will certainly be the reason! FSUIPC cannot provide any information if it isn't running. The quicker way to see if it is installed and running is to look in P3D's menu -- there must be an FSUIPC entry in the AddOns menu. So, either you haven't actually installed FSUIPC5 yet, or something went wrong. You'd need to try again. If still no luck then you need to show us the Install Log (which will be found in the same folder as the Installer). Pete
AnthG87 Posted June 10, 2020 Author Report Posted June 10, 2020 FSUIPC appears in the Addons Menu from within the SIM. I still cannot see FSUIPC5.LOG so provide below the install log for your kind review: ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Installer for FSUIPC5.DLL version 5.156 Looking in registry for Prepar3D v4 install path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4 Parameter"AppPath" ... >>> OK!

I still cannot see FSUIPC5.LOG so provide below the install log for your kind review: The Install log is irrelevant. If FSUIPC is in the AddOns menu. There MUST be an FSUIPC5.LOG file. You probably have Windows Explorer set to hide well known file extensions from you, like ".LOG" which will be seen as a text document or whatever it has been associated with on your PC. Please take a look at the Installation guide, or the User Guide. In the former the section at the end (all the way to page 5) entitled IDENTIFYING FILES IN WINDOWS EXPLORER will tell you how to change the Explorer option so you can really see what files are. In the user guide the section Finding and Editing files relating to FSUIPC and WideFS on page 6 tells you more. Pete
