Rob, FSUIPC is installed. I even uninstalled it and reinstalled. That was my first thought too. All I can figure out is that it doesn't like Vista Ultimate. I have UAC disabled too. Guess I'll have to try a reinstall of the aircraft. It simply will not take off vertically. Give it throttle and it takes off like a rocket...forward not up. Craig

BUt do you see FSUIPC in the Addons menu ??Because if you don't, there's no point in re-installing the aircraft.Another possibility for failure: if you haven't "trusted" the gauge RCB_VTOL.dll.(you can check in your fsx.cfg file if it's trusted)Rob

The manual, (that is installed with the aircraft :( Probably would have been nice to have a note in the installer huh?) says FSUIPC is requred to be installed, PRIOR to installing the tiltrotor. Bit me in the but because I hadn't had a need for FSUIPC in FSX prior to the tiltrotor.-Jason Peters E-3B/C AWACS Flight Engineer, USAF

Yes, I agree it would have been wiser to also make a note on FSUIPC installation in the Installer as well. Like the Installer states that you need to have FSX-SP1/SP2 or Accelleration.On the other hand, the FSUIPC requirement is clearly stated in the "Technical Requirements" section on Wilco's Tiltrotor's webpage.You can "bit me in the but" :( as well , but I hadn't had a need for SP2 prior to the tiltrotor.Like FSUIPC, it's just a requirement for the Tiltrotor to function properly in FSX....And as far as the ".... PRIOR to installing the tiltrotor" is concerned: the Tiltrotor just requires FSUIPC, either installed BEFORE or AFTER installation of the Tiltrotor.(doesn't really matter, it just won't function properly without it).Regards, Rob

I installed FSUIPC and hovering now works. However, there is a problem with the mission to the oil rig. The rig seems to have no collision defined; when I try to land on the pad I just go right through. I can fly all through the rig without crashing.

Are you using FSX/SP1/SP2, or Acelleration ????I have a simular problem when trying to land on the frigate in the Carrier mission. How about you ??Rob

Im using Acceleration. Finally got it fixed by uninstalling FSUIPC and reinstalling. Solved the problem.
