Thanks...he already had FSCommander working...so no issues there.

Thanks again! That did the trick...of course, I had to find SP1 first... :D ...found and have now got him updated through to SP2 and I can confirm that I see FSUIPC now. Thank you very much!

Thank you, Luke...do you know off the top of your head if there is a cost involved to installing FP2? If not, I could do that for him while I have his machine. Alternatively, he is considering upgrading to MSFS-2020 which will require the newer version of FSUIPC (FSUIPC7 ???)...would it make more sense for him to do the upgrade to 2020 vs updating FSX to SP2? An additional question, he has a Radeon 550X...will that card work for 2020? I'm trying to convince him to upgrade to an RTX-3060, but not sure he has the budget for that. Thx.

Luke...log files have been uploaded. Let me know if you need anything further. Thank you!

So...my friend had his computer offline for sometime due to some construction on the room where he keeps his sim. Nothing has changed with the system or the software so hopefully the logs will help to identify the problem and resolution. Let me know if you need anything else. Thank you!FSUIPC4 Install log.txt FSUIPC4 log.txt

Ok...thank you...so with that, he still has the issue where FSUIPC does not appear in the FSX menu bar nor does it show the location of his plane in FS Commander. Similar to the SDK instructions, does the path to FSUICP need to be full? By default, the location is relative (e.g. "module\FSUIPC.dll"). Happy to upload the logs the next time I am over there...which ones would be helpful to resolve his dilemma? Thank you!

Ok...so...and update after heading over to his house. He has FSX Standard, not deluxe or any other flavor and as such does not have the SDK. Is there any way that he can make use of FSUICP without it or is he going to have to shell out around $60 for a new copy of the Accelerator Pack?

I have a friend who is not tech saavy, but has been using Flight Simulator for more than 10 years. He recently got a new computer and has successfully reinstalled FSX and FS Commander. He has re-purchased (lost license years ago) FSUIPC and it appears to install and license correctly, however, upon opening FSX, FSUIPC does not appear in the menu bar, nor is FSX interacting with FSC (e.g. he is unable to locate his plane at an airport. I have tried to help (I am very tech saavy, but have zero experience with flight sims) but have been unable to determine the issue. Hoping there is a quick answer to this issue that I can take back to him (in person) and apply to get him fully back up and running. Additional related question: Once he gets back up and running with FSUIPC on FSX, will everything continue to work if he performs an in-line upgrade to FS2020 after he gets a more modern video card (note the card he has now is supported for FSX). Thank you in advance for the assist, I know he will appreciate it.
