X-plane: The voyage of discovery begins........
EHM-2381 Ted:
I will delete and re-install FLogger and hopefully it gets sorted out. If it borks again I'll screen shot it for you.
The trouble with uFMC that I can see is that it is not native to the aricraft. And jiggery-pokery with aircraft files is the last thing some folks (like myself) want to do unless it has to be done. Pro payware should have it fully incorporated if appropriate to the aircraft.
In any case with good planner tools like FSC you can either connect direct or just plug the route into the Xplane "FMS" for the same result.
EHM-2381 Ted:
Its screwed :P
I deleted the previous install and downloaded the latest v4.0.4. FLogger.
Ran it against FSX with no problem.
Ran it against Xplane and set up with no issues per procedure and I edited the xml doc thus and reran against the still-running Xplane with this being final resulting xml file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<fs-installations xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<Items>
<fs-installation id="FSX.1" fs-version="FSX" fs-path="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\"
default="false" />
<fs-installation id="XP9.1" fs-version="XP9" fs-path="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\"
default="true" />
Closed it. Opened it again against Xplane and it threw an exception (see screenshot).
Opened it against FSX. Threw an exception.
Crap >:(
It connects fine to EHM servers, authenticates etc...but seems to fall down instantly after being setup. I have to wonder if something really stupid and obvious is the culprit here.
Grrrrrrrrrr....I just want to fly. And this is surprising as FLogger has always worked like a charm.
I am on WINXP SP3 if it makes a difference.
If you want any of the FLogger files let me know. I also took a screenie of the offending exception.
EHM-1997 Alexander:
I'm going to run through the instructions and see if I can replicate your problem and if I can find a solution.
EHM-2381 Ted:
Cheers for that Alex I hope its easily reproduced. I am sure I followed all the directions to the letter.
Heres the exception:
Details
**edit**I hope it was just something silly on my end. Go me being crash test dummy.
On the plus side I took a ton of screen shots today of the PC-12 and I'll give ya'll first peek at the review when I am done. Just got a new patch from the devs so I am being a guinea piglet today ;D
EHM-1997 Alexander:
OK Ted,
I re-ran through the documented procedures and it works.
Firstly, if the xml you posted above is the whole of the file, then you are missing closing tags. Your file should contain all the following:
--- Code: ---<?xml version="1.0"?>
<fs-installations xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<Items>
<fs-installation id="FSX.1" fs-version="FSX" fs-path="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\" default="false" />
<fs-installation id="XP9.1" fs-version="XP9" fs-path="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\" default="true" />
</Items>
</fs-installations>
--- End code ---
When you go through the process, where it says confirm the error, you should click 'ok'. On first run of flogger before you edit the file, after clicking yes to the error that appears "no scenery.cfg" you should get a the single row horizontal bar with button on right, you should not click cancel to the error.
Once you have got to this point and closed the flogger, edit the file so the contents are as above (or as attached (just overwrite the file you have with this one).
Check that a My documents/FlightLogger4/XP9.1 folder exists. If not, you didn't do the first run against x-plane step right - remember you run against FSX, then against X-Plane (with the added lines in XPUIPC) before you make the installations.cfg edit.
On the flogger run after the changes to the installations.cfg it will take a while to rebuild scenery and download timetables.
I attach an installations.cfg file edited for you specifically (Noone else unless running against FSX in default c:prog files location)
