There's been no change in how all that works for many versions, dating back at least a year. What were you using before?

Are you sure you haven't opted to bypass the connection checks (it's an option in the main page) -- if you have the checks will only appear if the COM port can't be opened, so you can select another.

What FS version are you using and are you running full screen or Windowed?

What does the PFC.LOG show (it is in the FS Modules folder).

Found the problem. Somehow, and I have no idea how, the complete section in the Resource File for the Connection Check dialogue was missing! This resulted in the attempt to set the displayed dialogue failing, and this is then retried at intervals, with the connection checks never actually being performed.

Very strange!

I've fixed it and tested in in PFC verison 2.02 which I will incorporate into the PFCDLL Zip later tonight. THe update will be available here first and on the Schiratti page in due course.

Thanks for telling me!

Regards

Pete
