[Wrong AFCAD data?]

Problem solved! :)

Trouble was that my FS2004 folder was mapped directly to the letter K:\. Should've gone one level higher, so that the path reads K:\FS2004\. All is well now... :)

[Wrong AFCAD data?]

Hi,

I am using FSC9,which is installed on a secondary computer and FS9. When I open the Airport Information window, it tells me that data is based on file APxxxxx.bgl, even if I have an add-on installed for that airport. This happens for all airports - no add-on airports AFCAD data is found and I always get defaults.

My network paths are K:\ for the main FS9 folder and N:\ for flight plans data. If I open FSCDBM_FS09.LOG, I see that there is a double backslash used after the drive letter: based on: k:\\scenery.cfg. Scenery data is written correctly, however, further down in the file, there are double backslashes again: K:\\AEROSOFT\LOWI_2009\scenery\0_ATP_excl.BGL and so on

Also, in FSCDbManager.ini I get the double backslash:

[FS]

FSPATH09=K:\\

FSPATH10=

FSLAST=0

Could this be the problem (and how to solve it)?

Thank you! :)

[Programming buttons for opening aircraft doors]

Hi again, Pete,

I am glad to say that using FS Controls to assign four aircraft exits to joy buttons worked perfectly!

I learned something new and I think I'll get more adventurous now... 8)

Much obliged!

[Programming buttons for opening aircraft doors]

Pete,

Key "K" assigned in FS to "Select exit"

...

EDIT: Forgot to add that pressing keys "K" alone and "K" with "2","3" and "4", respectively, correctly open all the doors as it should.

Why not use the FS controls instead of Key Presses?

I couldn't find more than one Aircraft Exit in FS Controls and went straight to key presses! Of course, now it makes perfect sense.... Select 1, 2,3,4... :roll: Thank you very much for the advice!

Out of curiosity, I will also check the logs to see what is going on.

Thanks again!

Regards,

[Programming buttons for opening aircraft doors]

Hello Pete,

Could you please help me clear this bit of code I wrote for opening aircraft exits?

Using FS9, FSUIPC version 3.7.5.0, Saitek Yoke and two throttle quadrants

Key "K" assigned in FS to "Select exit"

Code in FSUIPC.ini:

[buttons]

1=P3,16,K75,8

2=P3,18,K75,8

3=P3,18,K50,8

4=P1,0,K75,8

5=P1,0,K51,8

6=P1,2,K75,8

7=P1,2,K52,8

Line 1 should open main exit (but. 16 on joy 1) = key "K" (correctly opens main exit)

Lines 2 and 3 should open second exit (but. 18 on joy 1) = key "K" then "2" (opens main exit)

Lines 4 and 5 should open main cargo door (but. 0 on joy 2) = key "K" then "3" (opens main exit)

Lines 6 and 7 should open 2nd cargo door (but. 2 on joy 2) = key "K" then "4" (opens main exit)

EDIT: Forgot to add that pressing keys "K" alone and "K" with "2","3" and "4", respectively, correctly open all the doors as it should.

What am I missing here? My old brain is turning to clay...

Thank you in advance! :)

[FSUIPC and Weather default in FS2004]

Hi Peter,

same here. I manually un-checked all weather filters and the results were mixed. For a while, "heavy snows" weather theme stuck, but then the weather cleared. When I tried to switch to another, it changed to clear weather immediately, switching to "User defined weather". Then I tried all weather themes with same results. The change was instantaneous. Disabling (removing) FSUIPC cured the problem (of course :) )

>>I may make a new option to allow the weather filters to be applied only

>>to external weather sources, avoiding touching the FS built-in weather

>>at all.

That sounds like a great idea!

Thanks for your hard work, Peter, it is appreciated! :)

Jure
