Fsbuild-2 Flight Planner

Hi !

I just bought fsbuild and i can't manage to get it started. It freezes during startup at 33% while loading nats info. I searched quickly on the forum and found no answer. Have you heard about it before ?

I'm running windows vista 64 bits

Thanks for the help

It will sit there for awhile attempting to make the connection and get data - eventually it will continue. Check your FSBuild2.cfg file and make sure the entry for NATs reads like this: NATRAKURL=www.fsbuild.com/nat/pilotweb.nas.faa.gov/common/nat.html

Thanks for the answer.
I actually have no nat enter in my fsbuild2.cfg

Put the line in the [FSBUILD] section - just add it to the end of that section...

ok i did it but still have the same problem ... it freezes at 33% is there something else i could do ?

I've never encountered this issue - the NATS load takes a while, as I said, but I have never seen it freeze the application completely, so I don't have an answer except to tell you to be sure to run the application from the right click menu "run as adminstrator" if you are using Win7 or Vista. The obvious workaround is to uncheck the option to get NATS which is no hassle if you are not actually using them with manually entered plans.

OK i removed the loadnats line in the FSbuild2.cfg and now the startup is ok and i have to load the nats later in the software. At least i can use it now

thanks for the help
