XUIPC Video Tutorial

10) Once the download is completed open the downloaded XUIPCV2038.zip folder.

Finding your internal IPv4 address

If you already know your local IPv4 address you can skip steps 12 - 14

12) Press WIN+R to open the Run window, and enter cmd

13) With the Command Prompt open, type in ipconfig and hit Enter

14) Look for the line which says IPv4 Address . . . . . . . . . . . xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. Your IPv4 Address is the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx bit so take note of that, you'll need it for the next few steps.

15) Open the XUIPC.ini file inside the X-Plane ROOT/resources/plugins/XUIPC and look for the line which says Server Address = 10.0.0.2

16) Replace the 10.0.0.2 with your IPv4 Address which you found in step #14

Example

If your IPv4 Address is 192.168.209.99 then the line which says Server Address = 10.0.0.2 in the XUIPC.ini file should now look like Server Address = 192.168.209.99

Making Sure XUIPC Is Working Properly

In order to make sure that XUIPC is behaving itself and you set up XUIPC correctly run though the following steps:

1) Start X-Plane as you would normally and start a anywhere

2) Open the Plugins menu tab and navigate to XUIPC -> XUIPC -> XUIPC Verion and Info

3) A window will pop up displaying the XUIPC version as well as some other XUIPC info

4) The 3rd info item from the top should say Sending multicast from: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is your IPv4 Address which you found in step #14

5) If the 3rd info item says it's Sending multicast from: the correct IPv4 Address then you've set up XUIPC perfectly and you're all set!
