Dave, after compiling a Flt Pln in FP2k then into PFE to load, I receive the following error messages:
1. "IPC request contains bad data - Check FSUIPC Version (2.80 or later required)."
a. My version is 4.853.

2. After closing that, the following pop up-
"Problem connecting to Flight Sim or Flight Sim not running"
a. FS IS running.

My sys: W7 Ult
FSX Accel
Intel Dual 2.6ghz with 2gb ram
Nvidia gt 440 with 2gb
(FPE with PF2K,Voice add on plus Voice add on 2)
Regards

I don't know if my memory is getting worse as I get older...
...I just can't remember how it used to be!

Dave
It happens to flight plans ( *.PLN) stored in my ..............docs\Flight Simulator X Files, which includes quite a few which I have made from the FSX flight planner.
Am I making sense?
Rgds,

I seem to remember a long time ago some users had problems with fsuipc not installing correctly. So you have the fsuipc option available on the fs menu bar?

FSUIPC does not appear on the FSX menu bar.
I'm not sure what FSUIPC is??

Well you said you had version 4.8 installed. Do you have it or not?

I found a pdf in my fs showing version no. However, since then I have read the FSUIPC manual and loaded fsuipc and now have it in fsx menu. Also PFE now connects to FS. This is down to your prompt about the menu, so thank you.
(Still not really sure about FSUIPC except that some progs appear to need it).
Thanks for your swift replies.
Regards,
