Why not fly online?
EHM-1882 Gian:
Thanks for your input Erik-Jan. As we said in prior communications, we should really encourage flying on IVAO and have EHM recognized again. I think we have a starting base of pilots (the ones who are currently trying as much as possible) to complete the 007 event on line...May be we could extend that by planning on line group flights (as it was the case in the past if I'm correct...). Is it something which could be easily organized? maybe via communications on the forum or on the web page....Any idea of the numbers of hours to achieve to be "accepted" again as virtual airline by IVAO?
I am personnally more used to fly on line with VATSIM, but apparently the majority of pilots are using IVAO...So, I started adapting myself as we have more fun flying as a group...
Thks again to all the team for your unvaluable commitment to make our airline a top one!: ;)

EHM-2581 Dirk:
I become so jealous when reading the latest inputs from Eric-Jan and Gian. The urge to fly online is becoming stronger all the time but, alas, I can not shed the technical problems. The contents of Eric-Jan's posting @ 11:49 on the 19th September are taken to heart. Here I am referring to the ultimate paragraph and in particular the advice regarding starting at a remote airfield and the working up from there makes so much sense. But there is need to get online first. Eric-Jan I have done the necessay uninstallations but will follow your advice and try one more time.I am currently in communication with IVAO as well as two of our own (online) pilots to get things going. I would like to quote short extracts from correspondence thus far:- .......
"First of all, we are well aware that the step up for new members can be quite high. For this reason we already did a huge amount of work for the IvAp v1.x (FS8/FS9) series by reworking the installer for user friendlyness.
Sadly speaking, this process is not completed yet for the IvAp v2.x codebase for FSX. However we remain dedicated to improve this process for the future. Even worse, if you rely only on the IvAp manual, that one is written for FS8/FS9 and not fully up to date for FSX."
Then I encountered a problem with not being able to find IvAp on the taskbar of FSX when wanting to start it as only FSUIPC came up. Here are the salient points from the correspondence with IVAO.
(Dirk: "I went to the Addons as you suggested but find only FSUIPC there. How can I set this tight to get IvAp on the Bar as well")
(Response from IVAO: "Did you (during starting FSX) click "yes" to execute ivap_fsx_bootstrap.dll?)
(Dirk: "You have me on this one. I have never (during starting FSX) clicked "yes" to execute ivap_fsx_bootstrap.dll. Did not know this exists. How can this be rectified?).
(Response from IVAO: "When you start FSX, before you see the flight selection screen you should get a popup about security. It states something like that it might be dangerous to execute ivap_fsx.bootstrap.dll and wants you to confirm it.")
(Dirk: "Since receiving your last response I have again run IvAp installation with MTL and FSUIPC. Again only FSUIPC comes up on the Bar").
So far the correspondence. And this is where we stand at present.
Any input from online pilots or otherwise would be appreciated
Regards,
Dirk - 2581

Dirk, I have exactly the same problem with FX...This is one I still go on with the old FS...9....In addition, I can't use Flight logger with FX....It stays blocked after I have selected the flight....Last but not least, no way to have FSC working with FX!!! Again, I just go back to FS9...It's a pity not being able to optimize the use of FX....So I completely share your frustration too :'(
hope to see you in the skyes anyway!

EHM-2387 Eric-Jan:
Dirk, I will get back to you in a PM on this in the next couple of days.
I have to dive in to the subject myself a little, because I've got things working for a couple of years already. So I don't exactly remember the details any more.
That may take until the other side of this weekend, but keep an eye on your messages line (way on top of this page, next to your avatar).
Let's consider this a support issue, and split it off of this thread for now, as to no cloud it too much ;)
EDIT: Once I've sorted out the installation details, I'll get back to you too, Gian. I have things up and running in both FS9 and FSX at the same PC, so there must be a solution ;)
EHM-2097 Andrei:
@Gian: FL4 blocked after selecting the flight (I think this means: not recording anything) looks like a FSUIPC issue. Note that different versions of FSUIPC.DLL should be used for FS9 or FSX. Could this be the problem?
