Fsbuild-2 Flight Planner

Unless you are familiar with Win7's special handling of the 'program files' directory with regard to permissions, you are better off avoiding it with legacy programs like fs9,FSX and many installers.

OK, I took your advice and created a new path....C:/FSbuild. Everything is working as it should, so far. Many thanks.

Ron

PS.....what exactly is the issue with "program files"??

"what exactly is the issue with "program files"??"

It is "owned" by Microsoft software and operational restrictions are enforced.
Which causes problems if you are not a programmer teckie type!

Hello;

Today I tried to install this update,but I had all kinds of problems,Fsbuild would not work anymore,and FSC wouldn't start either,I had to re-install FSC again,to correct the problem.Before installing this update,everything was working,I have Fsx installed on the D-drive,along with all other add-ons,but let Fsbuild install itself,it went to the C drive.Should I install Fsbuild in the D drive along with all iother Fsx related products,to prevent problems like this.

"Today I tried to install this update,but I had all kinds of problems,Fsbuild would not work anymore,"

** Was there an error message or what?

"and FSC wouldn't start either,I had to re-install FSC again,to correct the problem."

** I do not understand why FSBuild would cause FSC not to start?
** What version of FSC do you have?
** And now, is FSC working with FSBuild (ver15) installed?
** If so, what has changed to let it work?

"Before installing this update,everything was working,I have Fsx installed on the D-drive,along with all other add-ons,but let Fsbuild install itself,it went to the C drive.Should I install Fsbuild in the D drive along with all iother Fsx related products,to prevent problems like this."

** FSBuild can be installed on any drive.

Mark,

Maybe you could explain exactly what your problem is now?

Ernie,

Any idea when the FSB2.4 documentation will be available?

Thanks,
Ron

FSbuild .17 show as .16 ( in header and "about FSB) when FSB is started.
But the fix (.17) works ok.

On 4-27-11 I downloaded .17 and it worked fine ... and the header is .17.
I have no idea why I had a problem in the first place but all ok now.

James,

Is this the only route with a problem?

well, it was first route I tried since I upgraded it to version 17. I did a couple of trys of simple routes, EGBB to EGPH etc and they seemed to work without any errors, but the FIMP to OMDB route wont work, it seems to get stuck into a loop. and created various errors, as mentioned above.

I tried it today,

I was able to repduce the issue, its hanging on something in the Navdata.

I'll post a fix by the weekend.

Regards.
Ernie.
