Hi all,Very interested in byuing the MD-11 and the 737 NGX when it comes out, however I wonderif any PMDG product use FSUIPC in their setup (to work with FSX..).Really trying to avoid producs using FSUIPC, since it seems it messeswith the winds in FSX. And don't really want to buy the pay version, to fix a problem thefreeware verision creates..:)

FSUIPC only 'messes' with winds if you enable those options.Dave

FSUIPC does not "mess" with anything in it's unregistered (freeware) form. If you have problems then something else is causing it.Steve Mckenna

Steve, Yes it does, exactly it's messing with ASE DWC mode blocking data sent over Sim Connect. Please watch those videos: nr1 and nr2. It's well known problem on HiFi forum. The solution is to buy full version...

Well, for two weeks now I've been testing what's causing the windshifts in FSX. There has been some claims that it is a bug in FSX, but whenreinstalling FSX and running it without any addon programs the winds are just fine. As soon as I installed FSUIPC I have wind shifts.Of course, there could be something else (hence "it seems like"), but at the moment it looks tome as if FSUIPC causes these problems for me. Staying clear of it has worked so far, still testing it out though...Don't assume to know all what FSUIPC does and does not do for other users.Instead try to answer my question.Full version is not an option, since I would only be needing it to fix the wind problems... If it is in fact the case that I have nowind problems without FSUIPC, then I will rather avoid it..

Hi,err.... I was trying to help lol, from all I've read on Pete Dowson's Support forum I was of the opinion that the unregistered version FSUIPC just acted as a link and if nothing was set through it then it wouldn't or couldn't have any effects beyond acting as the link between FSX and whatever add-on was using it.Sawdz has stated that this isn't the case and I'm happy to be corrected on this point. I never assume to know everything about everything I leave that to my son and daughter :) .hope you get it sorted,it would be a shame to miss out on what is likely to be one of the greatest addons for FSXSteve Mckenna

Without any addons, of course the wind shifts are fine as there is nothing for them to affect. The way the larger default aircraft simulate the autopilot (which is the same way cessna's do) means wind shifts, while they happen, are not a problem. Add a simulation with a realistic autopilot (such as PMDG's) and wind that shifts by 30knots and 60 degrees a second will knock you out of the sky. What the registered version of FSUIPC does is it allows you to limit the size and speed of those changes.Edit: since you can and have demostrated that you have windshifts in FSX with no FSUIPC installed, perhaps you would like to withdraw your suggestion that FSUIPC is causing them?

The point is that I have no winds shifts, period. Meaning not that the default aircraft don't suffer much from shifting winds, but there are no shifting winds. Shift-Z (and the 737 MFD/ND) shows that the winds are not changing, except from sometimes gradually, 1-2 degrees, 1-2 knots at the time.. Like wind does in reality. And my aircraft of course, flies steadily.Where did I demonstrate that I have windshifts with no FSUIPC installed? My entire point is that I do not, and that I am working on trying to establish wheter or not it is infact the FSUIPC thatis causing the problems..

Paul,I did demonstrate it, and if you will watch the videos you will see very rapid wind changes, they are caused by unregistered FSUIPC blocking data that ASE DWC is sending via Sim Connect. There are many people with this behavior, and it has nothing to do with autopilot, its just FSUIPC vs ASE DWC thing

Thanks, but "FSUIPC does not "mess" with anything in it's unregistered (freeware) form. If you have problems then something else is causing it." isn't really helping very much..All I really want to know is if PMDG uses FSUIPC, like for instance QWsim, RCv4 etc.. this because of the problems I am currently experiencing.I do, certainly, hope that I am mistaken. FSUIPC was not at all suspected until I had been testing for a while..

LOL... So are you suggesting that installing FSUIPC and making no other change (certainly nothing like changing the weather scenario) introduces wind shifts to FSX? That would be an experiment I would be happy to attempt to reproduce.

I can reproduce it anytime, this thing came out when HiFi team and P Dowson have added some extra support for RC4. It wasn't there before, I'm testing it since ASE SP2 release day one, with every new build of FSUIPC (unregistered) and it's still there.Oh, and it's not wind shifts, again it's blocked transmission of data...

I am not suggesting anything, I am telling you what I am experiencing. Attempt to reproduce what you like.I've been running a clean FSX for two weeks, and when installing an unregisterred version of FSUIPC, I have a lot of wind shifts directly.Especially on climbs and descent, even on short final. Real weather download, update 15 mins, and yes, winds aloft enabled of course, I'm not a complete moron.Any more helpful comments?What's with the LOLs, how old are you?

Sawydz, I think he's comments are for me, experiencing these problems not in connections with ASE. With ASE however, the problem was unbearable, hence my complete reinstall of FSX, and testing out one addon at a time..:)

Haha, that's true, things like this happen when someone like me here creates offtop! ;)

I can confirm this as well. Immediately after installing the unregistered FSUIPC I started having wind problems with PMDG 747. It seems to come and go as I've flown a number of flights without any problems. What bothers me is that I can't uninstall it without rendering several addons useless, the VRS F/A-18 is one example.
