FLogger and Aircraft selection class 1-2

Howdy!

While I managed to get the .dll's registered and FLogger appears to connect to the EHM site I get a previously reported issue with the log program not able to connect to FS.

In the other thread there is mention made of FSUIPC...what is this and where would I get it? I am running FSX Gold on WINXP if that helps.

Also I may have misunderstood the aircraft usage rules. I flew and submitted a PIREP for FLT EHM-2004 (Heathrow-Brussels) using the SU-80 on a CAT 2 route. Did I screw this up in thinking I could fly the route with a lower cat aircraft or is it ok? I am just enjoying flying the SU-80...believe it or not :]. If I screwed up please remove the PIREP and I will refly with a CAT 2 ship.

Cheers

Ted

Hi Ted!

FSUIPC is a module which allows Flight Logger (and also many other programs) to connect to FS to get date from it. It canbe downloaded from the downloads page on the EHM website if i remember correctly, under Pilots->Downloads

As for your flight, as long as your rank is high enough to fly the plane and the flight, its allowed. So in this case, you need to be at least a Class 2 pilot.

Hope that helps ;D

Hi Javier,

I found and downloaded the file you mention and read through the attached instruction .pdf. The user manual asks for the .dll to be installed in the "modules" folder of FS.....but there is no such folder in my installation of FSX.

Also...in the main FSX folder there is already a .dll named xuipc.dll.

So my question would be do I simply dump the FSUIPC.dll into my general FSX top level folder and will it cause me any issues? I am only asking as the installer instructions have not been updated since FS9...and I would hate to wreck a nicely tuned FSX installation inadvertently :P!

Cheers for any further guidance and I am glad my Brussels flight was kosher after all.

It seems the version on the downloads page is 3.5, i'm not sure but i think that's for FS2004 only.

I have FSUIPC version 4.2 installed in my FSX and my installation does have a modules folder, although i don't know if it worked since i've never tried connect Flight Logger to FSX :s

Just do a quick search on avsim and you should find ver4.2 easily, and see if that works! :)

EHM-2097 Andrei:
Hi Ted,

A few more details about FSUIPC:

- According to the official site (http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html), the newest version is 4.40;

- It is possible indeed that an older version is FS9 only;

- FSUIPC can be used in registered (payware) or unregistered (freeware) modes. While the registered mode offers some intersting features, it is not required for running the flight logger;

- The latest FSUIPC versions are downloaded as installer to run (unlike older versions that were packed as files to copy manually). The installer also created the "modules" folder if it does not exist.

Hope this helps

Andrei
