System problem
« on: October 26, 2004, 07:54:55 pm »
Hi folks,

I thought after monthes, I start again on-line flying and wanted to do a short training flight on VATSIM. I started the needed programs and had a very weird problem that never before:

Engines did not want to run, and the aircraft did not "feel" the ground, it crashed on the ground all the time. It happened even if I started FS2002 only, in simple multiplayer mode...

Any1 can help me ?

Well, it happened at LOWW actually, and then at LHBP, so...I do not know. I guess I should really reinstall the whole game :|

Then I don't know...

At EHAM you would sometimes experience this bug as the altitude is below sea level and Squawkbox can't interpret the negative altitude... or was it FSUIPC? Did you install the latest FSUIPC?

OK, OK, it is still an on-line flying bug! I have found it! When I enter a multiplayer session (without SB, or hostSB) the game rewrites the currently selected aircraft's CFG file. How? It replaces all dots to commas in the [fuel] section. It means, that I can have 1 gal of fuel located 800000 feet from the CoG, instead of having 1.800 gals on a normal distance.

This makes an incredible instability and the plane start bouncing and sliding on the ground or sinking below the surface. At the moment I do not know how to solve it.

You will not believe the solution ! In the Windows/Control Panel I setted the thousands separator to dot, instead of space, and problem solved ! Although the CFG is still resaved during a multiplayer session, all the values remained untouched.

Now the only problem to synchronized SquawkBox and FS2002 to see each other, because they would not like to, at the moment.

My saga continues ;D
