To the very best of my knowledge, Active Sky uses and has always used FSUIPC as an interface.

 

For FS9, correct.

 

For FSX, no, only Simconnect.

There are many elements of FSUIPC which are an advantage to have, but IMO FSUIPC is worth getting if only for the inclusion of an update which alleviates DLL crashes.

.....and OOM warnings

 

 

And the many payware planes can't work without FSUIPC.

That anti-crash feature is also in the unregistered version.

I could not live without FSUIPC (well, in the simming sense anyway!).

 

This is purely because I cannot operate aircraft controls, changing heading bugs, etc, etc, using the mouse .... I absolutely detest doing so.

 

So in many aircraft (such as the Majestic Q400, Airbus AXE, QualityWings Avros, etc, etc), Registered FSUIPC gives me keyboard assignability of all functions I need (including custom ones), either using it's mouse macro function, or else LUA script files.

 

Without this capability, I honestly wouldn't fly aircraft like those above. Of course some (few) developers - such as PMDG - give a native function to assign key commands to custom functions.... kudos to them for that..... but for the rest FSUIPC "saves my life"... :smile:

Blackbox airbuses require it.

Most of payware planes which use FSUIPC like comunicating interface between FSX and their planes. In this case, FSUIPC with limited functionality comes with the installer. For example - BBS Airbus, Digital Aviation Fokker(which will overwrite your existing FSUIPC - need to make a backup before installation )

 

To be clear - you don't need payware version to use this planes, they have included some functions of FSUIPC.

 

The latest payware planes uses other metods to comunicate with fsx, but after i tried everything - the best calibrating and functionality for my flight controls are achieved with payware version of FSUIPC

 

 

For FSX, no, only Simconnect.

 

Ahh, clarified.  Thanks Jim :-)  

 

But I still wouldn't leave home without the registered version.  To return to a point made by the original poster, curing a key conflict by deleting FSUIPC is like throwing the baby out with the bath water indeed.

Eaglesoft Citation X FADEC requires registered version.

CS767 IIRC

Yep, totally agree! Thank you Pete.

if you do a google on this  it brings up a few  aircraft that require  fsuipc, there is already a few mentioned already

Perhaps you have assignments for your X52 lower trigger in FSX controls as well as FSUIPC?

Actually, I think it's also common knowledge amongst owners of the Warthog controller that using FSUIPC for assignments is vastly easier than using the manufacturer's software.

Name me one.
