Qballbandit Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) Hello folks, Using a WIN10 gaming rig, I am trying to lock AFCAD to the sim so I can add parking spots to numerous airports. I start the sim, select the airport and aircraft, go to top down view, slew, etc., but I do not have my plane locked to AFCAD with a crosshair. I also try hitting "O" to add a spot, but nothing shows up in AFCAD. I do have the freeware FSUIPC from 2013. Am I missing a step? Any suggestions greatly appreciated! :) Many thanks, Neil edit: yes, I select "lock to flight sim" in AFCAD as well.

Qballbandit Posted August 24, 2022 Author Share Posted August 24, 2022 Tim, Just ran it. Can't say it made any difference at all. I select the "lock" in AFCAD and I never have a crosshair that slews around with my aircraft in the sim. AFCAD opens the airport right to the ref/identifier "plus sign".

tgibson_new Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Do you have a Modules/FSUIPC menu entry in FS9? If not, then FSUIPC is not running. Tom Gibson CalClassic Propliner Page: http://www.calclassic.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qballbandit Posted August 24, 2022 Author Share Posted August 24, 2022 Yes sir, I sure do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douga66 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Just a shot in the dark here but did you try to run AFCAD as administrator? I know some here are not a fan of this method but it is the only way I get things to work on my setup. My Windows 10 is an upgrade directly over the old Windows 7 one.

willy Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Hello Have you set Afcad in compatibility mode with windows 7? Willy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_eve Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Not a lot of help … I had this problem originally under W10 and managed to get it working, but can't remember how! Possibly having AFCAD installed on my D drive rather than in C:\Program Files (x86) might have been the solution. I've got all sorts of bits and pieces on my D drive that work perfectly from there that mis-behave or run very slowly when installed on the C drive.

Qballbandit Posted August 25, 2022 Author Share Posted August 25, 2022 douga66 nailed it. ;) I had to run it as ADMIN for the lock feature to perform. Didn't think of that because other functionality works fine without having to do so. It is not in WIN7 comp mode, and installed into a unique folder on the "C". Thanks to all who provided support, I greatly appreciate it. :) Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
