  1. Hello Pete,

    Merry Christmas to you and thank you for your hard work and immense contribution to our hobby.

    I am pretty thick when it comes to computers so forgive me if I sound it also.

    I am trying to assign keys to the FD (flight direction switch) and AT (auto throttle switch) in the PMDG 747. I have tried to use FSUICP's assignmet keys function but it doesn't seem to have any effect in the PMDG 747 when i assign a key to the functions mentioned above.

    I say i thick with PCs but I didn't realise I was thick! Can you think what i might be doing wrong?

    Thanks Pete

  2. Hi Pete,

    I realise that you are kept extremely busy anbd therefore please only reply to this if you are bored! Joking aside, if possible could you please tell me what an offset is? I see it written all the time and I am sure I might be missing out on some improvements or tweaks I could make to my FS experience, maybe not? If you don't ask you don't know!

    Thanks Pete

    PS: if you know of a somewhere where I can read about offsets in lay terms I would appreciate you pointing me in the direction.

    Regards

    Merry Christmas & thank you for all your work during the year to help make our hobby enjoyable.

  3. Hello Pete,

    Can you please help me with the folowing? Whe I try to intall fersion 4.1 (or any version of FSUICP) I get the following error:

    "Your FSX installation is incorrect! The version of SimConnect installed does not match FSX.EXE. You may need to execute the SimConnect.msi to rectify this first"

    I have my flightsim FX installed on drive :L and the fligthsim boot is on D: and the sytem boot on C: drive. A complex set up with two versions of WindowsXP on the same machine. One specifically for flightsim.

    Hope you can help.

  4. Please excuse me if this is posted in the wrong forum. I would like to enlist your help Pete with the following error message I recieve.

    It concerns a CTD and the following information was obtained from an even log. I have no idea what it means but I am hoping you might be able to point me in a direction where I can start to try and resolve it, I am not sure if it is related to your module. I am a registered user of it.

    I would really appreciate any suggestions you have about it. This is the error:

    " The description for ID (1000) in source (Microsoft Flight 9.0 cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message or dll files to display message from remote computer. You may be able to use /AUXSOURCE=flag to retrieve this description. The following is part of event fs9.exe 9.0.0.30612 weather.dll 9.1.0.40901.00028166

  5. Hi Pete,

    I was wandering if you could shed some light on what the following error message means.

    You may recall my problem...my FS crashes unpredictable and I mentioned to you that I didn't normally get an error message? I also mentioned to you that I removed some BGL files you mentioned above which seems to have helped. However, tonight, after a 7hr real time flight and would you believe 3 minutes from my T.O.D I get this:

    C:\docume~1\paulso~1locals~1\temp\458e_appcompat.txt

    My FS is on my S: drive but this is the message I got.

    Any comments which could alleiviate my frustration will be appreciated.

    regards

    Paul

  6. Hi pete,

    Apologies for troubling you. I have always noticed, no matter what aircraft I fly, the tail lights always go on when the panel lights are on, of course above 10,000ft in the real world this is not the case.

    My question:

    Is it possible in some way to use your module to connect the lights to the relevant switches (already in the overhead panel) so that the lights are independant of each other, so that when you fly above 10,000ft with the panel ligths on you can turn the tail lights off?

    Hope that ramble makes sense to you !

    Thank you

    Paul

  7. I have a strong suspicion it is something to do with a combination of textures and seasonal weather in certain places as you mentioned. Gee...I have a a hard drive of 250 GB alone for scenery and textures where do I begin!

    Try setting Summer or Winter as the season in FS, see if it helps or not. If it was one of those when you crashed, try the opposite: i.e. Spring or Fall. But I think the CTD problem was related to transitional trextures so these are more likely.

    I will keep you posted if in the meantime you come across that bug fix you mentioned, I would love to get a copy of it.

    One CTD I came across was fixed by removing some apparently bad AFCAD files. These were Project AI related files I think The filenames were:

    PAI_AF2_?????_?????.BGL and

    AF2_????_????_???.BGL

    Hi Pete ,

    Just some feedback for you regarding my problem. I deleted all the files you mentioned above and it seems to have resolved the problem so far, looking good!

    Thanks for your time and help.

    Regards

    Paul

    Josef is usually pretty hot on replying to problems but not on this occasion - perhaps he's away.

    I expect you've trawled through this forum to find an answer and there doesn't appear to be one.

    Perhaps it might be something to do with the TrafficBoard.ini file? Have you moved any program about since you installed TB? What version of TB and FS ru running? I can't promise I can help, but I may be able to poke about in my installation and come up with an answer.

    Thanks very much. I really appreciate it. I realise he's a busy guy and I admit I am being a little snotty..it's computer rage not necessarily Joseph.

    Well...I am back to Run time Error 76 problem... I locate the path which is on my 'S' drive but each time I come to build a flight it comes up with the error. Interestingly, I used the PAI uninstaller (default) aircraft and it was working ok before then, admittedly I only built the one flight to test it.

    I am using F2004 3.05 version

    Thank you for your help. I really think that's very kind of you.

  10. Hello Peter,

    I have your latest beta version of FSUICP which is included in the Activesky folder of their Beta 140 update.

    My problem is trying to isolate what is causing my FS2004 to crash recently.

    The frustrating part about the whole thing is that I can fly a long way without it happening and then suddenly doom and there isn't a trace of FS2004 on my screen, nothing, no error message nothing. I am begining to suspect that it has something to do with the combination of my PMDG 737s and Activesky.

    What I would like to know is this...is there a way of locating an error message somewhere that tells me it is that keeps causing FS2004 to crash without having to go through hours and hours and hours of scenarios and flights with different planes etc etc..?

    Regards

    Paul

  11. Hi Joseph,

    Could you possible reply to my previous post. I think you have a great product, sorry if I appear to be a bit grumpy...it's just frustration because I really enjoy your product. I have screwed it up somewhere, don't know how..take responsibility for that! Once again would like to say , great product! I'd just like it working, need your help.

    Best regards

    Paul :roll:

  12. I am furious, In all fairness , when it works , Fstrafficboard, it's great. However, moreoften than not I have had huge problems with it. Admittadly, I should have enusured better security in cases of crashes but hold on.... I haven' thand anywhere near the same trouble as this program.

    What is run time error 63 (when i try to laos it up, it crashes)

    also it says 'can find trafficboard home drive...hint add folder to commandline???????

    Please help
