First, you posted in the FAQ sub-forum where it explicitly states NOT for support requests. Please take care to post in the correct forum for support. I have moved your post for you.

You should post/attach your FSUIPC4.log file if you have a CTD. However, if FSX is crashing after a few seconds, then this is usually due to a corrupt weather file. 

Try disabling weather by setting 

NoWeatherAtAll=Yes

to the [General] section of your FSUIPC4.INI file. If this solves it then either your wxstationlist.bin file is corrupt, or one of the .wx files saved with scenarios is bad.
To resolve this, delete all of the .WX files from your FS Documents folder (where your flights are stored), and the file "wxstationlist.bin" in your <user>\AppData\Roaming folder for FSX.

If that doesn't fix it, it may be a simconnect issue and I need to see your FSUIPC4.log file and also your InstallFSUIPC4.log file.

i'm wondering to maybe buy the registered version, but i'm afraid that wont work either. i attached the fsuipv4 install log, and fsuipc4 log hopefully there's a fix; but i'm not techy at all

FSUIPC4 Install.log FSUIPC4.log

What do you mean? You do realize that I am on holiday:  

If this CTD is due to a bad weather file, then this is a known issue, has been known for 10+ years, and there is nothing that can be done about this in FSUIPC. It is the FSX API that FSUIPC uses to get the weather that is causing this issue. There are already hundreds of support requests in this issue, and the response from me (and Pete, before he retired) is always the same. 

Did you even try what I suggested:

?
i.e. Did adding NoWeatherAtAll=Yes prevent the CTD?

Your *.WX files will be in your Documents\Flight Simulator X Files folder (where your flights are stored), and the file "wxstationlist.bin" in your <user>\AppData\Roaming folder for FSX.

You can always try searching for them, using something like Everything.

i..e. Find the FSUIPC4.ini file, which will be in your installation folder, the same folder as the log files you are attaching. Open that in an editor (e.g. Notepad++), find the section that starts [General]. and then add that line. Then test to see if this prevents the CTD. If so, it is due to a corrupt weather file.

I have already answered this and provided a link with further information as well as a link to a very useful program that helps you locate ANY file on your system.

Try reading my posts before responding with the exact same questions that I have already answered...
