FSUIPC is not recongnized in MobiFlight

[mga123]

Hello there

I have tried to solve this problem at the MobiFlight forum, but without any luck.

I have succesfully install of both newest version of the FSUIPC and Mobiflight.

I boot the MSFS sim by the FSUIPC shortcut on the desktop. The sim boots but there is no Pete Dowson logo on the splachscreen. The sim still boots.

After the boot of the sim I start up the MobiFlight. But MobiFlight does not recongnize og connect to FSUIPC module.

I have tried several reinstall of the FSUIPC but without any luck.

What to do?

Kind regards

So, FSUIPC7 is not auto-starting with MSFS? The usual problem is a corrupt EXE.xml file caused by another add-on (AFC_Bridge can cause this). This is mentioned in the provided README.txt file:

3. FSUIPC7 does not auto-start with MSFS, even though this option was selected during installation.
   If you find that FSUIPC7 doesn't start with MSFS, this is usually due to a problem with your EXE.xml file. Please check your InstallFSUIPC7.log file.
   This is usually due to another add-on corrupting the EXE.xml file. To resolve, you can delete/rename your current EXE.xml file (whose location can be
   determined from your InstallFSUIPC7.log file) and re-install FSUIPC7. However, the add-on that corrupted the EXE.xml may not be started automatically.
   You will need to manually add this back if you want this app to also auto-start. Details on how to do this can be found in various FSUIPC7 support threads.
   
   If FSUIPC7 doesn't auto-start with MSFS, you should also try to manually start FSUIPC7 to at least verify that it is working before you correct the auto-start process.

Thanks for the reply.

I have no idea of what the AFC_bridge is, but the problem be that I have installed some RealSimGear?

How do I manually start the FSUIPC? I normally use the MSFS_FSUIPC shortcut.

Kind regards

Doesn't matter - that was an example (it is a plug-in for the Bravo lights).

That may have the same issue (i.e. corrupts the EXE.xml) - there is also a logitech plufin that does this, but cannot remember the name at the moment...

As with all windows applications, you double-click the executable, in this case the FSUIPC7.exe. If you don't know where that is, plerase don't ask me - read the documentation....

Have you tried as suggested? Have you looked at the documentation or searched for previous support requests? Have you looked at the MSFS documentation on the format of the EXE.xml file?

It really isn't that difficult... But if you post yout current EXE.xml file here, then rename it to EXE.xml.notused (for example), then re-run the FSUIPC7 installer it will create a new valid EXE.xml. Then show me that file, together with the old/renamed EXE.xml.notUsed, and I can add that back in for you.

BUT, it really isn't that difficult. You should try and do this yourself and I can assist if you have difficulties.

P.S. I am closing support in 2 hours or so. You can continue posting but I will not answer until the 3rd Jan.
