Glad to hear that.

You won't ever lose anything. Anytime you suspect a module might cause a problem, you should just disabled it from the XML files, without touching anything else.

The FSUIPC issue is mainly a P3D issue, but I see the random "bad .dll" from FSUIPC a couple of times in FSX too. It seems to be mostly random, but in some way related to the "trust this module" question FSX makes, when trusting a newly updated program that has been just updated, and this is triggering some kind of old FSX bug because, sometimes it simply goes away by itself, sometimes just by updating the module again (even with no real changes), just to force FSX to re-trust it.

Yes, that's entirely expected. The new Fuel truck which was released in December, required a Full GSX installe ( 1.9.9.10 at that time ). After you are on this one, you can then update GSX just with the Stand-Alone Addon Manager and the vehicle Updates, but you cannot jump from 1.9.9.5 to 1.9.9.11 directly that way, only with the full 1.9.9.11 installer.
SmittyBRS:
The upgrade of GSX has resulted in the blocking of all FsDreamTeam and FlightBeam programs including, GSX, AddonManager, KFLL, KORD and KPHX and KDEN.
I am aware that your team has been unable to replicate the failure, but I can assure you that the upgrade instructions included were followed to the tee! I can also assure you that Virus and/or Firewall has the necessary exclusions to allow the program(s) to communicate. I can assure you that ALL programs and even the DeskTop Icons to call them are run in Admin mode. The UAC on the computer has been removed, but I still designate Admin when installing new software. I can also assure you that despite never even hearing of your XPOI program, I have removed the entries I located in the FSDreamTeam directory tree. I use the unregistered current version of FSUIPC and have never had a problem.
I have removed and/or reinstalled GSX and the AddonManager more times than I care to remember. I even located the original 2016 setup program and tried to revert back to the OLD BUT GREAT previous version.
There have been no FSX failures and/or messages that I can recall only the absence of the GSX program and the AddOn Manager in my menus.
My System: FSX + Acceleration, WIN7X64, Intel Core i7-3820 CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60GHz
I have MANY addons installed on the machine including REX4 Texture Direct with Soft Clouds and REX WorldWide airports HD. Also many ORBX FTX Global, LC and Airports plus FTXCentral, FTX Vector and ORBX A/C. Use ActiveSky 2016 and ActiveSky Cloud Art for WX.
My observation, although I know nothing about computer programming, is that until I installed the GSX upgrade, everything worked! As much as I like the GSX program, I will gladly do without it if only my previously installed FSDreamTeam and FlightBeam scenery (plus perhaps yet unidentified programs that depend on the engine) once again function.
I've spent many hours scouring the FORUM for suggestions but alas NO JOY!
I'm confused, frustrated and old......Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. If a HOT FIX, revised U/G or end user procedure is published, please advise.
Thanks
B Richard Smith

Anyway, I think we are on the right track. I have FSX. I tried installing the latest update by first removing fsuipc. Guess what; it installed and works. I replaced the fsuipc file back into
FSX and it all still works. My problem now is I am afraid to try it on my main computer with 100Gigs of stuff and risk losing anything.

Hope this really is the answer

Hello Bill
What version of FSUIPC are you using?
I am using an older version (FSUIPC version 4.949g) and am reluctant to try the latest version for FSX in case it make the already problems worse.

This means your problem doesn't have anything to do with what has been discussed here for the most part, which were crashes with error message and issues with FSUIPC or other addons.
Yours is just a "missing menus" problem, which is entirely different, and commonly caused by the antivirus blocking the installation.
This thread here list many possible reason for the missing menus problem:

If you tried all of them, and nothing works, then please contact me in private to arrange a Teamviewer session, so I can have a look at your system

I am using FSUIPC version 4.9.4.9. I just installed the latest GSX update into my main computer with FSUIPC removed. It installed just fine. I am noticing one problem at
this time. I cannot activate De Icing. I have tried default 737 PMDG 747. Outside temp set at 5 degrees F. Dew at 30 F but no prompts for de icing at pushback. Not sure
why. The de icing points show on the aircraft custom screen. Also this is the case on both systems, so it is not an install problem. Everything else works. Any ideas welcome.
