Hello all

I know this is an old post, but l have been having the same problem.

"The folder of Google Earth does not meet the expectations of the operating system"

I am running Windows 7..... FSX gold.... FSC 9.6 (tried this in 9.2 and it also works)

I think l have found the problem.......The newer versions of Google Earth.

I went into "Google Earth auto updates" and downloaded and installed Version 6.1.

(We are now on 7.4)

Everything now works fine, Google Earth auto-loads as soon as you click

"show position in Google Earth"

WONDERFUL

Hello

I have used Flightsim commander it its various versions now for several years and over all l find it the best flight planner/moving map.

But, l wish you would do somthing about the size of the little GPS window.

I run FSC on a different computer to FSX, it is only a little screen and is four/five feet away from me. My eye sight isnt what it used to be and l am having trouble reading such a small box. I was hoping that the GPS window in the new V9 would be sizeable.

I have installed the latest update, but nothing seems to have changed, other than being able to connect to Google earth, which is very good by the way. I have read somewhere that the GPS window cant be changed because it's a 'graphic', what ever that is, but surely someone as smart as you can do somthing. After all you must have made the original gpsbox, size and all, so why cant you make it bigger or sizeable.

Please do something.

Hello everyone.

I have had to have my computer wiped clean.

So all my flightsim programs have come off and have been re-installed. I do not want to buy or upgrade to FSC9, as l am more than happy with V8.What l do want to do is download the updates to make it V8.6 again, but l cant find the updates anywhere. Can any body help me please.

Hello Pete

"Oh no its him again"

Now, even if you fly back to the place you originally started out at it should be okay, because the traffic will be added more gradually and SimConnect should cope with the requests FSUIPC is making. Where was that, by the way, and were there large add-on airports there?

Have installed the update and have tried flying from various airfields with various levels of traffic. WideFs kicks in every time. The airfield l use as adefault is KEDW Edwards Airfield. Middle of the desert, but the airfield itself is quite detailed and l do have most things turned up.

Its un-installer obviously forgot about the EXE.XML entry!

Is there anything l can do to get rid of it or am l thinking above my brain level?

BTW you might want to keep the TrafficX crew updated as to our findings, to let them know it isn't anything specific to TrafficX, just to do with airport and traffic density settings.

Pointed them to your forum and had the following two replies:

Hi Carl
Thank you for the information on the forum, I have forwarded your last email onto developer who should be able to provide more insight into the compatibility between WideFS and Traffic X. I will get back to you shortly.

Hi Carl

I had received the following from the developer of Traffic X;

‘Hi Sam,

‘If l just install TrafficX, without running TCC everything works fine. ‘

so the only solution it seems would be to not use the TCC, Where I still don't understand how the TCC should cause a problem. It's compiling a traffic database - that's all... it doesn't interfere with FS in any way.

I must admit I'm a bit lost here...

Cheers

Wolfgang’

So thats it really. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. I know somtimes you must have thought you were dealing with a complete idiot. Well lm not complete yet, but l'm working on it.

Thanks again

Hello Pete

Two things

1. Dont know why its trying to start REX2. It was un-installed last August!

2. l think you might have cracked it..... I set up a flight from SAWB, thats in the Antartic, so, no traffic. Didnt touch any of the traffic sliders.

Pressed 'fly now' and WHAM.. WideFS kicked in within 10 seconds.

How about that!!

Hello Pete

Bet your thinking "Oh no not him again"

I just don't understand why any of this is anything to do with this "TCC". Whendo you run it and why, except after adding new scenery?

I do only ever run it if l add an aircraft or airfield, but when l first had trouble with WideFS not starting, l had those aircraft i.d. across the tool bar, so l un-installed TrafficX to see if it would clear the Widefs connection problem up. IT DID.

I then re-installed it and ran the TCC to set it up again. Problem returned. Un-installed it and then re-installed it, but without running TCC. No problem.

I dont runTCC evrytime. No point.

Are you sure there was no EXE.XML file?

Dont know if it the same one, but found exe.xml(not EXE.XML) in the same folder as the FSX.cfg file. It say that it was last modified on the 13/11/2010.

That last is from a scenery designer, isn't it? Airport Facilities Designer?

Dont know how that was installed but it has been un-installed now!

Was this SimConnect log one taken during a session where WideServer didn't start?

Yes

If its a toss up between TrafficX going out the window and WideFS, then its good-bye TrafficX and hello some other AI traffic program. Any suggestions?

Regards

Hello Pete

Glad you sorted the FAQ out. Thought it was me being thicker than l usually am.

Sent you the simconnect0 file to your e-mail. Hope you got it?

Have sorted out where the simconnect logging files are kept so l can get at them when ever you want. Will save a copy of each if need be.

Regards

Carl

Hello Pete

Have got the simconnect. log sort of working.

It comes up and scrolls on the desktop next to fsx in window mode but is not sending the data to a file anywhere. Not even the modules one.

Any ideas

Hello Pete

I probably wont explain this very well, but here goes.

TrafficX sits inside the FSX program. Once you have installed it, it fires up automatically when you open FSX.

There is a program within TrafficX called "Traffic control centre" , which you are supposed to run after first installing TrafficX so it can pick up the airfield and aircraft cfgs and create the flight plans. But it seems to do that anyway without running TCC.

However..

During the course of running TCC there is a section called "Traffic movements" where you get it to "compile trafficx flight plans" It asks you were you want them stored. In the instrctions that come with it, it says to put them in and over-write the trafficX.bgl file.

Once you have done everything its asks, unless you want to add/remove somthing, i.e. aircraft, airfield, flight plan etc, you dont need to run it again.

The problem l am having only occures after l run the TCC.

Thinking back, TrafficX hasn't run quite right since l moved on to Windows 7. It ran ok in Vista.

Dont know if any of this helps

Regards

Carl
