frank727 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 As of late I've had problems with the connection FsRealWX lite has to FS2014. It always says waiting for FS when trying to load. What should I do to fix this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rthrosby Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Having no problem with mine. Sometimes if it cannot complete a connection it offers an alternative. Do not know if there is an easier fix, but suggest it might be worth trying to uninstal WX lite, downloading a fresh copy and re-installing. Worth trying if nobody comes up with a better idea. Enjoy your flying, Roy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainerk Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Sounds like a FSUIPC problem. Can you verify FSUIPC is installed and working? => Start FS9 and see if you can pull down FSUIPC from the Title Bar under "Modules". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank727 Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 I've made some progress but now it says FS Not ready. What does this mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I've made some progress but now it says FS Not ready. What does this mean? Did you start your Sim and are you sitting at your departure airport before you started FSRealWx lite? Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

tiger1962 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 It may be waiting for FSX Simconnect. Check the FSRealWXlite settings and uncheck the Simconnect button and any other FSX-only features. FS9 will only need FSUIPC checked. Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

frank727 Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 I seem to have the connection working but unfortunately I uninstalled FSRealWX lite and replaced it with FSRealWX pro. I can't seem to get FSRealWX lite back because apparently it's not supported anymore.:( When I turn on FSRealWX pro, it says that I have an unregistered FSUIPC. I have no idea what to do about it and my FSRealWX Pro trial period ends in a few weeks. What can I do to get FSRealWX lite back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmhariano Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Which version of FSRealWX do you have? I understand it's been updated. Best regards, Luis Hernández Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank727 Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 Which version of FSRealWX do you have? I understand it's been updated. FSRealWX pro. I can't reinstall FSRealWX lite because it's outdated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTweak Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Ok, let's start at the beginning. You have FSRealWX pro. Is it version v 2.02.0386? That's the latest, according to the site. Do you have the zip file for it? Have you tried deleting you current install and reinstalling it? When you run it, do you start the file in "Run as Administrator" mode? Where on your computer do you have FSX and FSRealWX installed? Which Windows version are you running? Do you have FSUIPC installed? Is it in the Modules folder of FSX? Which version of FSUIPC do you have? It should be v4.9.4.4a. or later. Mr. Dowson just released a newer version on the 4th of October. It is v4.9.46. However I do know for a fact, since I just loaded it and it worked fine, that FSRealWX Pro (freeware version) works fine with the older version of FSUIPC, released back in January of 2015. Can you see FSUIPC in your Add-ons menu once you are in free-flight? Do you wait to start FSRealWX until you actually have the game fully loaded and are sitting on the end of the runway, in the cockpit, ready to give 'er the gun? I mean don't even click on the executable (or shortcut)? All this stuff is relevant, and any one (or combination of) could be the cause of your troubles.

I haven't been on FS2004 much lately. My FSRealWX Pro is version 2.03.502. I have Windows 7. I have FSUIPC version 3.48 and yes I can see it from the menu. I'm still having problems with the connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTweak Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I sincerly apologize. I made a mistake on the FSUIPC version. For FS9 (FS2004, if you prefer. Same-same) you should be running v3.999z. It's the last Mr. Dowson made for FS9. No more updates to come, for FS9. It's on Mr. Dowson's forum pages/website. Something else I have found. If you have more than one copy of the FSUIPC.dll on the same drive, like say an unzipped zipfile in a temp folder, and a copied FSUIPC.dll file in the sim, which left a copy in the temp folder, it can cause all kinds of hate and discontent. Do a SEARCH of the Hard Drive you have the Sim on, and ANY and ALL extranneous (big word for the day :D ) copies of the .dll you find, move elsewhere. NOT COPY, MOVE! Another HDD entirely, an external HDD, a CD, thumbdrive, anything. Just make certain you have ONLY one FSUIPC.dll on the drive that has the Sim on it. The entire drive. That means if you have a 500GB HD, partitioned off to two, 250GB drives, say C: and D:, with the game on C:, remove ANY .dll files on C: and D: both, except the ONE copy IN the sim. If you happen to have another HDD, let's say a 1 TB drive, partitioned off into E: and F:, you can store the extranneous copies on that if you want. Me, I do the search, copy any and all extra copies of the .dll to a folder, then zip them into a single zip file with 7Zip. That is a safe way, but then I remove the zip file to an external HDD. Just to be triple-safe. First and foremost, though, get the v3.999z version of FSUIPC. I believe that may well be your problem. FSRealWX requires v3.8 or later, and you are running v3.48, you said. You need to update your FSUIPC version. Give it a shot, and let us know how you fare :D Pat☺ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Had a thought...then there was the smell of something burning, and sparks, and then a big fire, and then the lights went out!
