Getting started

[AZJim320]

I am very familiar with FSUIPC. I have used it for several years with P3D. I recently got MSFS 2020 and when I heard FSUIPC 7 was available for MSFS I immediately purchased it. I downloaded the program and when I start MSFS I see the FSUIPC 7 logo. The problem I have is where is it in game?  I have no idea how to access it.  Would appreciate help in finding it in the sim.

thanks,

Jim

I just noticed a new user post that said it doesn’t work in game. So do I start FSUIPC before I start the sim and use alt+F to open a window to access the menu?

FSUIPC will auto-start with MSFS, if you selected that option during installation.

But FSUIPC7 is quite different from other versions, in that it is no longer a dll embedded into the sim but a separate progtam/executable. When it is ran it shows a splash screen and then sits in your system tray, where you can access it, or use Alt + F (default hotkey, can be changed) to open the main window.

PLEASE read pr at least peruse the User guide. You should also take a look at the Installation and Registration guide. I provide extensive documentation to not have to answer support questions such as this all the time...

Got it working!  Works as awesome as it does with P3D. Very glad to have it for MSFS!

I will do my first FSUIPC7 programming this weekend. I'll post my experiences (I'm a professional programmer, plan on using C# if it can do what I need). I'll start with the user's guide , if there are any good example programs let me know.

If using C#, you should seriously consider using Paul Henty's dll for .Net, which is built on top of the FSUIPC SDK. I am sure there are plenty of examples, and the support/download forum is here: https://forum.simflight.com/forum/167-fsuipc-client-dll-for-net/
