I plan on buying AS2004 soon after I buy a new computer. I keep seeing mention of the FSUIPC utility program. Can someone please tell me what this utility program does?Thanks in advance from a future AS2004 owner.

Hi there..Thanks for your interest in AS2004. FSUIPC is used by a majority of FS add-ons to communicate with FS. In our case, it permits us to read and set weather and other flight parameters.FSUIPC is offered in free and registered versions. The free version works great, as AS2004 is licensed and accredited for unregistered use. The registered version permits more customized settings of low-level parameters including smoothing intervals, and offers more functionality with lots of other non-weather-related options.Here's the home page for FSUIPC where you can find out more: http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html.Hope that helps!

Perhaps you might want to think about putting in a one or two sentence blurb in your webpage explaining this for complete 'green' newbies such as myself. With me being a case in point, not everyone knows what FSUIPC is or its functionality. Thanks for your quick response!
