This are the (new) Support Forums for FSUIPC and related products.

These forums replace the old support forums which have been running for 20+ years. The old forums contain a wealth of information on all FSUIPC products, and are still available (until the end of the year) for read-only here.

At the moment these new forums are quite empty – I will be updating the FAQ section and copying across the User Contributions from the old forums in the next few months.

Please note that you will need to Register and Login to post for support, and also to download attachments. You can view these forums without registering.

Support is also available via Discord. Please use the following invite link to join the FSUIPC Discord server:

Notes:

This is an update for FS9/FS2004 users who wish to use SkyDemon in Windows 10 x64.

Previously I used a similar method for FS9 in Windows 7 posted here. SkyDemon has also been updated since that time.

I run FS9 in Compatibility Mode: Windows XP (Service Pack 2).

This method uses Eltima software for pairing COM ports (see below). This allows SkyDemon to interact in both directions with FS9 via GPSout.

1. Install a free registered version of FSUIPC for FS9, version 3.999z9b https://forum.simflight.com/topic/80977-updated-modules/

Details of how to register are provided.

2. Check the FSUIPC.ini in the FS9 Modules folder using Notepad - that the above version is installed.

3. Install GPSout from https://www.schiratti.com/files/dowson.html

This is NOT included in the FSUIPC 3.999z9b download.

GPSout.dll and GPSout.ini must be in the FS9 Modules folder.

4. Open the GPSout.ini file with a text editor like Notepad. Set the following:

Sentences=RMA,RMC,GLL,GGA [note, no spaces]

Port=COM8; Baud=19200

SAVE

5. Open Eltima VSPD - a fully functional trial is available

Pair Ports, COM8 and COM9

6. Press WinKey+X. In Device Manager: Electronic Team VSP Ports COM8/COM9 should show.

7. Run FS2004 and open default airport (optionally after this, create a flight plan using FS2004 flight planner and SAVE).

8. Start SkyDemon (current version 29 Sept 2022)

Menu: SetUp - 3rd party devices - set COM9 and Baud=19200

Menu GoFlying - connect RS232
