what is your current version of fsuipc?did you start with v4.0? did you do the 4.01 upgrade? then did you replace the .exe with 4.2 .exe?if you can duplicate the problem, do it with logging on, the instructions on how to do a log are pinned at the top of the forumjd

no i did not do do a 4.01 went straight to 4.02 yikes.. is it reinstall time? thanks jd

download the 4.01 upgrade program, and execute it. that will add missing wav sets, and phrasesthen replace the 4.01 rcv4.exe with the 4.2 rcv4.exeyou don't have to re-installjd

hey jd, did what you said, instaled 4.01 into previous rcv directory then replaced the .exe's with the 4.02 version. i also made sure i have 3.7 version fsuipc available. Went into fs9 started rc and stil haveing same problem, i deleted radar contact completly, did a full install upgraded to 4.01 then to 4.02 again and still having same prblems, the radar contact window shows up then when i select weather briefing i get standby really quick and then goes back to the first menu with weather briefing or clearance options without any other choices. I cannot select debug in the rc menu. any other ideas here? please just no full fs9 reinstall!! haha thanks for all the help

i am not able to click the debug button, even after reinstalling rc4. its diffrent type of shade more gray then the other buttons im able to click. just not the debug. how do i get around this? thank you

Follow the instructions carefully, right from the beginning. Make sure you unzip the updates into the RC folder directory each time: not the Temporary folder Winzip defaults to.Make sure RC knows where to look for the flights your are planning. (Your FS Flights) folder.If a computer nitwit like me (with some help) can figure it out, so can you.

A flight plan has to be loaded into Radar Contact before the debug button will work.

that's true for our internal v5 beta. but in v4, the debug is available, and should be clicked prior to loading a .plnjd
