No FSUIPC in Menu, FSX

[KevinAu]

Hello, I just installed fsuipc downloaded from simmarket for a new install of fsx deluxe edition on a new computer from a boxed dvd set. I did not get the Add-Ons tab. So something must have gone wrong in the install. I had run fsx at least once before the instllation of fsuipc and have exited and restarted fsx several times. Still no add-on tab to get at fsuipc. This is on a brand new pc running windows 11. The boxed fsx dvd was purchased and unopened from several years ago. Please help. Thank you.

Did you install the FSX service packs - SP1 (or SP1A) and SP2? Yiu need to have at least SP1/SP1A installed.

Thanks so much for the pointer. That worked after a few tries. Had to uninstall and reinstall in a new partition before it worked. Can only get sp1 in though. Would not take sp2 because it keeps thinking i have acceleration installed, which i don’t, because the registration program would not run after the install, so it limited the program to demo even though the fsx install was registered. So i kept that acceleration away in all my subsequent reinstalls.
