September 21, 20187 yr Hello all! I am a long time fight sim fan, and recently, as I was browsing through my file archives, I found this wonderful aircraft, that I had so much enjoyment with several years ago. Immediately I pulled out my FS9 installation, and tried to put it into the sim. That is where the problems started. Whenever I try to load the Dash either from the main menu or after loading some other plane, such as the default Skyhawk, it shows up in the preview window, but upon clicking ok, the sim freezes for a few seconds and crashes, with no error messages. I think, I can remember dealing with this issue before, but I have no idea, what I did back then to fix it. It looks like it could be related to FSUIPC, because taking that out of the sim makes the plane load. But it is actually a requirement for the model, if I recall correctly, so I am not sure that it works properly, when it loads without it. Plus I need FSUIPC for a ton of other things... Does anyone know what could be causing this? I would strongly appreciate any help! Thank you!
September 21, 20187 yr Do you have the latest FSUIPC version for FS9? According to the FSUIPC developer, the FSUIPC is not needed with the Dash 8. The FSUIPC module will crash any sim if the version is not the correct one. It appears to me that FS9 is not properly installed or you do not have that 4th CD in your drive.

September 21, 20187 yr Author I do have the very latest version, and it is registered too. The sim itself works just fine, as do all other addon aircraft.
September 21, 20187 yr I'm going to move this to the FS9 Forum as there are still many FS9 members and they might be able to help you. Jim Young | AVSIM Online! - Simming's Premier Resource!

I checked their website and none of the versions on their website (the latest versions) are compatible with FS9. Jim Young | AVSIM Online! - Simming's Premier Resource!

September 23, 20187 yr The latest versions of FSUIPC are here: https://forum.simflight.com/topic/80977-updated-modules/ Be sure to read the descriptions to be sure you get the correct version.
September 23, 20187 yr Author I have got the 3.999z9. It is the latest version for FS9. I also tried several older versions from my old files and returned to the current one. The effect is the same, there is no difference. FSUIPC works fine. FS9 works fine as well. The problem is somewhere with the MJC Dash 8. Or its incompatibility with something. FSUIPC was just a guess anyway.
October 6, 20187 yr Author Anyone knows something about it? Can you help me please? I really love this sim and the old models, do not want to give up FS9 I just checked this on a different computer, and it works perfectly on that computer, but not on the one I normally use for simming. That is just weird... I can not figure out what the difference is.
