Sorry for the redundancy, I'm sure, but I've had no problems w/ my acft until I tried to load the Posky 757-300 w/ a 3rd party panel, and 3rd party sounds w/ a result of "FSUIPC Acess Error...etc. etc." and a crash to Desktop. The good thing here is that XP is so kind as to ask me if I'd like to restart Fs9. The nerve. Anyway.. If somebody'd be so kind as to point me in the right direction, that would be superb. I searched the forum, and found nothing. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place? Been away form FS for awhile and all I need to ask is whatever happened to plug and play w/ FS? Remember when FSUIPC was a module you simply dropped into your module folder? Thanks in advance.

Bump... Come on guys, give me SOMETHING... A resource, a fix, SOMETHING. If I need to take my ball elsewhere to get an answer tell which "playground" to go to.

FSUIPC is still a .dll that you drop into your modules folder. Maybe the problem is in the 3rd party add-ons?What version of FSUIPC are you using?Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004proudsupporter.jpg

Jim thanks for the reply. I'm runnning 3.2.1.2 which I downloaded off of AVSIM a couple of days ago. Everything that i'm running has been set up in the past two days, so I'm not in really deep. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a 3rd party issue, but is this something that I'll encounter everytime I put in a 3rd party panel? If so how do we eliminate that problem?

FSUIPC now requires third party developers to go through a "registration" process. Any developer who hasn't done that will see their product fail with any version beyond version 3.x. Many third party gauges used fsuipc for various functions. If their error handling wasn't done right, it could cause the crash you describe.You can email the panel designer--Pete's registration process is pretty simple, but it does require some changes to a program's or gauge's attributes--and FS2004 doesn't offer the same exact functionality with FSUIPC, so some coding may be required by the author as well.In the absence of that, if you can find the gauge on the panel using FSUIPC, you can edit the panel.cfg, comment out the gauge, and use the panel without it and without the error.-John

Is there a 757 (twin engine jet) panel that you would recommend? I think I'll do away w/ the panel, like I said, I'm not that deep into it that it can't be fixed.
