Yes, I see the data is there now, but FSBuild still tells me "The parameter is incorrect" error when I try to download the dynamic NATS, and also when attempting to get "On-line ATC Information." Yes, I have IE7 installed. I have FSBuild 2.3, Build 208. My .cfg file is:

[FSBUILD]
AUTOREFRESH_DELAY=1
MAGYEAR=2002
AIRCRAFT=B737-700 PMDG w/ CFM56-7B24
SBPC_SERVER=www.vatsim.net
ROUTELINE=1
NATRAKURL=http://www.fsbuild.com/nat.html
WEATHERPROG=AS6


[MS-FLIGHTSIMULATOR]
FS_HOME=C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT GAMES\FLIGHT SIMULATOR 9
SB3_FP=C:\PROGRAM FILES\SQUAWKBOX3
FSACARS_FSA=C:\PROGRAM FILES\FSACARS
AS6=C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT GAMES\FLIGHT SIMULATOR 9\MODULES\ASV6
GATEKEEPER=C:\PROGRAM FILES\GATEKEEPER

[FLY!]

[PS1]

[X-PLANE]

[STARTUP]
STEP_CLIMB
CLEARMAP_BEFORE_BUILD
DISPRTEWPTSONMAP
WINDS_ALOFT
RVSM_FL
AUTOREFRESH_ON

Hoping a cure is found soon, or even better, I discover I'm making a silly mistake.

Yes, I see.
You have not selected to load NATS.

Start FSbuild.
Options
Settings
In the list box ... scroll to the bottom.
put a check mark next to Load NATS on startup

Click on save configuration.

exit (quit) fsbuild

Then start FSbuild.
When Fsbuild starts up it will pause for a few seconds.
During which time it will tell you NATs are loading.

Now you have it!

Last ... look at the ini file for the change.

Thank you for the suggestion. This parameter only loads the NATs on FSBuild startup. In my case, I tried it, and I get the same error, but this time when FSBuild is loading. Based on the behavior, it has something to do with accessing the Internet since I receive the same error when attempting to get online ATC info.

What procedure/steps do you do that causes an error?

Does FSbuild load the NATs when you start FSBuild?

You can also load Nats from within FSBUILD by pressing the PM (plan mode) button and the DN button.

What is not working for you?

Von,

Problem solved. Downloaded FSBuild 2.3.7.2 and the problem went away. I've been using FSBuild extensively since it was free.

One thing I don't see is the PACOTS. Oh well, perhaps in the next one.

David Vega

Yep,
You can load it also.
Just like we did the last mod.
Both will load when you start FSbuild.
Give it a try.
Check your ini file when you are done .. back it up also.
The fsbuild manual may also help .. it is in pdf format.

One of your previous posts said you already had ver 2372 ... I am using 2375 ... but prev versions always worked also.

I did not see a supporting statement in your ini file .. so how could it have worked?

Nothing wrong with the internet or the link ... correct?

With the PACOTS keep int mind, because some PACOTS routes contain airways they have to be interpreted by Fsbuild, and if you set them to load on startup, it will increase the startup time considerably.

And PACOTS unlike NATS can only be loaded once per session, as it can take some time to process PACOTS track routes.
