I recently installed FSX, with no problems. I then installed Radar Contact 4.3, which included the latest FSUIPC (4?). Again, no apparent problems. But now I am being told to go to the "Add-ons" in FSX to edit or confirm FSUIPC parameters. I can't find an "Add-ons" menu anywhere in FSX. What am I missing?

 

Sorry if this is in the wrong spot, but I just got here.

The "Addons" tab/menu is at the top of your screen when FSX has been started and you have a flight active.

DannyR, could you be a little faster with your replies? That took a long 15 seconds! Thank you for the instantaneous response, and it was a "my bad" moment for me. Somehow, when I loaded my flight, it defaulted to the "no top menu" style. I had to hit the ALT button to find that "Add-ons" choice. Now my problem is that FSUIPC 4 isn't registered (and it should be as it came with RC 4.3). So I'll be talking with jd over at Radar Contact about that.

 

And yes, I did read the Read Me, and launched FSX as "admin." Made no difference. Oh, well...we live and learn. I don't do a bad job for a 65-year-old.

Hi Gary,

 

FSUIPC does come with Radar Contact but it is NOT the registered version. You must go ahead and follow the links in FSUIPC to get it registered which does have a cost. BTW, it is well worth every penny, it is a very powerful tool.

Why does the installer give you the option to install FSUIPC to avoid this happening?

I recently installed FSX, with no problems. I then installed Radar Contact 4.3, which included the latest FSUIPC (4?)

 

The latest full version of FSUIPC4 for FSX is 4.853, and nothing before that is supported. I suspect the version included with RC is very much out of date.

 

Now my problem is that FSUIPC 4 isn't registered (and it should be as it came with RC 4.3). So I'll be talking with jd over at Radar Contact about that.

 

You do NOT need to register FSUIPC to use it with Radar Contact! It is an accredited FSUIPC client. The same applies to nearly all FSUIPC client applications. You normally only need to register FSUIPC in order to use the User facilities, not to enable the application interface!

 

The user guide, which also should have been installed, would have told you this.

Some people (not necessarily the OP) think User Guides are like parsley on a dinner plate. Just for show.

I usually read the User Guides, and was unsure whether or not I had to register FSUIPC in order for RC to work. I will by-pass registration for now. THanks, all!
