installed on MSFS now PMDG black but running

[saharatj98]

I just installed PMDG last week to jump over from P3D. I have had MSFS for over a year waiting for PMDG. I installed smartcars from Alaska Virtual, Vatsim ect. Can not connect I need FSUIPC. I install FSUIPC and now when I start the sim I can connect to smartcars but the cockpit is dark, engines running nothing is clickable yet highlights ok. I have rebooted, searched, nothing. Where is the start guide to set this up if it is not plug and play.

All the FSUIPC documentation is installed under your Documents folder, as well as a README.txt that is contained in the zip file you downloaded. You should at least read the README,txt and the Installation and Registration guide, which will tell you what is installed and where. However, if you are using an unregistered version for use by an FSUIPC client application, you don't normally need to do anything, and any config needed should be specified in the documentation for your client program.

I cannot see how this can be related to FSUIPC7. As a test, uninstall FSUIPC7 (using the uninstallFSUIPC7.exe that will be in your FSUIPC7 installation folder) and see if you get the same problem.
