FSUIPC4 not installing properly or appearing in addon menu

[Badger26]

I've been trying to get FSUIPC4 to work on FSX SE but for what ever reason I can't seem to get it to work. I know FSX is a bit dated these days because of the new MFS but I still like to use FSX sometimes for certain addons that I like. I've been trying to get FSUIPC4 to work to get a glass cockpit app that requires me to use Peixsoft Connector to link the sim with my tablet. So far I've tried both extracting the file to FSX/Modules folder, rearranging the program pages within the module folder and also did an uninstall & reinstall of FSX but no matter what I do FSUIPC does not appear in the addons menu and Peix Connector won't work with my tablet no matter what I do. This is a free unregistered version FSUIPC but its worked just fine before for what I'm trying to use it for without having to buy a registered version. Can anyone help me here? what I'm trying to use it for. Can anyone help me out here? Edited October 18, 2022 by Badger26

Have you run the FSUIPC installer? With FSX and above, you can't just put the DLL into the Modules folder like you could with FS9. If you have run the installer, is the DLL.XML entry correct?

 

Cheers!

I have both extracted the zip folder and ran the installer as other forums recommend but no luck. Here is the log as follows from my recent install attempt:

Okay, it installed. Is there an FSUIPC4.LOG file that says what happens when FSX runs?

 

Cheers!

Looks like you have a double install?

The installer takes one for FSX Boxed, the other for FSX-SE. But both paths say Steam?

For me it's confusing, maybe for the installer as well...

Anyone know where I can get the complete file folder of FSUIPC4? When I run the installer that came in the download it doesn't seem to go to where its supposed to go. I get the feeling the installer may have some bugs or something and wanna try putting the files in myself manually to see if that works.

[Luke]

Read wim's post above - there are two installs detected. Either way, putting in the complete folder structure doesn't do anything with FSX - you need to edit the correct DLL.XML.

 

Rather than blame the installer, is an FSUIPC4.LOG file being created? Which FSX-SE install are you running? You appear to have both.

 

Cheers!

Ok so it looks like it was a double install of FSX SE causing the issue. I apparently had a copy of FSX SE both on my internal C drive and a copy on my external hard drive. I ended up deleting the copy of FSX SE that was on my C drive and moved everything important to the copy on my external hard drive and it seems to be working now. Thanks everyone for all your help.
