Shankar: FSUIPC is an add-in for Microsoft Flight Simulator which provides an interface for other programs to read and write all sorts of pertinent data relating to the simulation, and in many ways even to control the actual process itself.

Introduction: what is FSUIPC?
FSUIPC is effectively a successor to FS6IPC.dll. Both modules are designed to allow external (i.e. separate) programs to communicate with and perhaps control Microsoft Flight Simulator. It seems some folks are rather confused about what this means, so I should emphasise here that Flight Simulator Panels (including their Gauges), Aircraft, Scenery and other graphics, and pretty much everything else within Flight Simulator, are mostly NOT correctable or influenced in any way by FSUIPC. Apart from some assistance in providing weather data to adventures (pre-FS2004), making adjustments in the weather itself, providing A.I. Traffic data and enabling better access to some engine variables for some Gauges, FSUIPC can only help external applications talk to FS, nothing more.
Some FS applications that may seem to be separate applications are, in fact, not: FSNav, WidevieW, FSAssist and FSTraffic are examples of applications for FS that are ‘added-in’ rather than ‘added-on’ and do not use the external FS6IPC interface.
FSUIPC.dll is a module for FS2000, FS2002 or FS2004, and it should be placed into the ‘Modules’ folder—see the Installation section below. Whilst its prime job is simply to do for FS2000, FS2002 and FS2004 exactly the same sort of work that FS6IPC.dll did for FS98, it also attempts to provide a compatible FS98 interface for these more recent versions so that applications written for FS98 will work with all of them. The prime aim has been forward compatibility throughout.
FSUIPC will also work within some versions of Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator. With CFS2 it provides access to many of the things that programs enjoy on FS, including weather control. However, it should be noted that CFS2 is not the main target, and support for 100% of the features is certainly not guaranteed. With the original Combat Flight Simulator (“CFS1”) the features are much more restricted: for instance there are no operating weather facilities in FSUIPC for CFS1. FSUIPC will not work with CFS3. There is no place for add-in programs at all in CFS3.
Whilst FSUIPC can be used in FS98 in place of FS6IPC, for most users there is no particular benefit in doing so. WideFS users will want to, as will some users of those more recent applications that specifically depend on FSUIPC rather than FS6IPC. Also, application developers may wish to use the IPC logging facilities, which are still provided in FS98. Apart from the logging, none of the new facilities offered by FSUIPC are available with FS98.

The free version is limited. Buy to get maximum functionality

Thanx T-Fish for the link.

Viche, I did get some error messages that one or more applications of a plane couldn't "access" (please don't ask me what that should mean) parts of an unregistered FSUIPC. God, this means I have to pay?? Or will the new 3.6 version take care of that?
Thanx to all.

09El_Boissevain, thats because u have an unregistered version on FSUIPC: Bye the full version and the prob is fixed Wink

Oh god, I hate buying... hate having to beg to my knees and that I shall do everything you say... whatever...
Anyway, any 'easier' way of buying other than having to beg all the time to my parents?? (they don't like the fact of paying over the net Neutral

)

I just assumed that your parents are rich. Everytime that I read one of your posts pertaining to hardware, you are always buying the newest most expensive equipment. My computer is about 4 years old and my video card is about 3 years old. However, I must confess that I upgraded my CPU from the AMD 2700+ to an AMD 3300+. I will hold off on buying a 62 bit processor until after I see how my system performs on Vista and FSX. Why rush out and spend the money until I have to.

I was just getting ready to ask you for a loan. My roof is beginning to leak and I probably have to spend several thousand dollars to buy a new one. If you give me your parents email address, I will beg to them directly instead of using you as the "go between". Cool

Skip,

You can apply for a job where you manufacture 62 bit processors. I have to confess, however, your career won't stand for long. There is no such thing as a 62 bit processor. Wink
