FSUIPC 3.60 - Issue with validity of .gau?

[caerleon]

Hi Peter,

I hope you had a good holiday.

I have just recent downloaded the recommended panel for CaptSim 757.

I now have this error message and it locks up my FS9 Program =(

I have a .reg and a .key file. I have pasted the error as im sure you would understand it if i dont.

I have payed of a registered copy before, although im not sure if it was deleted in my last hard drive crash.

A .reg file? That would be nothing to do with FSUIPC.

11609 Module [M2] identified = "L_ILH_TCAS2.GAU"

11609 Module [M2] "ILH_TCAS.gau" access registration is invalid

I'm pretty sure that the ILH_TCAS gauge has a valid key, but it looks like the gauge has been renamed to L_ILH_TCAS2 which will make its key invalid.

My gauges directory contains both of the .gau files listed? I'm not sure with issue surronding the modification of the files that call up this gauge when loading the model at all, i simply placed the file as per instruction, but i think it said something about 767 PIC program?

I modified the Offending gauge to .old and it still crashes out =(

Can you please tell me which type of file the instruction is in to call up this gauge and i will try removing it to stop the error.

The .reg was infact a FSUIPC_Reg.Bin and contains the following text:- CKBIONEOZR7E ILH_TCAS.gau Im sure its more machine code etc, but then im not an expert in that area.

Thank you for your support,

Looks like i sorted out the issue, seems that i had not copied accross the files correctly and i have several panel.cfgs to choose from i just deleted and started again seems to work now, apart from double images in cockpit it's fine lol.

Sorry my mistake.

What's "crashing out" precisely? Where's the log. A failure of a gauge to gain access to FSUIPC rarely makes anything crash at all, let alone 2out" -- all that happens with TCAS gauges is they don't get any targets to show.

Removing a gauge doesn't fix the panel anyway unless you edited the panel configuration. you should simply change the name of the gauge being called up in Panel.CFG.

Can you please tell me which type of file the instruction is in to call up this gauge and i will try removing it to stop the error.

That's really a job for whoever supplied the aircraft/panel, but all gauges are called via entries in their CFG file, of course. I don't have the aircraft you are talking about.

The .reg was infact a FSUIPC_Reg.Bin and contains the following text:- CKBIONEOZR7E ILH_TCAS.gau Im sure its more machine code etc, but then im not an expert in that area.

The FSUIPC_Reg.Bin is merely a diagnostic output created by FSUIPC to make it easy to find problems with registrations. It appears to show the correct key for the correctly named gauge, ILH_TCAS, so if anything it is one more indication that the aircraft you are using has a renamed gauge which has no valid key. The problem is not with ILH_TCAS the fact that it has been renamed to L_ILH_TCAS2. Why they've renamed it I've no idea, sorry.

Just try editing the Panel.CFG file, changing "L_ILH_TCAS2" to "ILH_TCAS".

Pete
