connection problem

[doebro2010]

I have plan G 3.1 latest
my FS is x-plane 10-25
I have within x-plane XUIPC and is correct installed.
When I click on connect a squere black box on left corner comes up with an arrow
but I dont see an aircraft on the map to follow the track
I also have tab the aircraft in user aircraft and also tab xuipc
anyone an idea where to look further?

[doebro2010]

I just found the culprit myself
had to give the adm rights to plan G

[tim arnot]

If your FS runs under admin rights, then Plan-G will also need admin rights. This is also true for any other program that wishes to connect to it.

[gerardbeugelsdijk]

Goodmorning,

I have the same problem even if both programs run as admin.
When I connect, it appears to connect correctly, but the user aircraft doesn't show and the map doesn't jump to the choosen airport.
Also, Lock, sync and free do not respond.
Connection is through FSUIPC and IPv4
Locations only show filled out: FSX Program and Prepar 3D
User Aircraft parameters ticked: Display, Update TAS from FS and Show Waypoint alerts.

Greetings from the Netherlands,

Gerard

[tim arnot]

Can you attach the log file from when you try to connect?

[gerardbeugelsdijk]

Sure, where do I find it?

How did you delete FSUIPC? It looks like you've deleted part of Plan-G too.

Ok, so it's back to not being able to talk to XPUIPC. Do you have administrative rights for both X-Plane and Plan-G?

[gerardbeugelsdijk]

How nice, now it works fine.

Is it fair to conclude that the solution (for other people with the same problem) is:

1. Delete everything you can find with the name: FSUIPC (I use the software "Everything" to search my drives)
2. Download and install a fresh FSUIPC.
3. Start FSX to see if it asks to trust FSUIPC
4. Uninstall and reinstall Plan-G
5. Start FSX and Plan-G as administrator.

Would it be possible to make error windows (with solutions) that pop up whenever there is a problem like this?

Thanks for your patience.
