cscorrea 0 Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Dear,A have the same problem with the user Don Van Wormer. After updated the communicator. Click to get actual patches, identifies that I have 5.1 installed and that it needs to get the 5.1a. Click the button to initiate the download and everything freezes up. But i check the the status in Windows Task Manager and it comes up as NOT RESPONDING. It does this every time. Any ideas or another way to obtain the patch would be warmly welcomed! Please, if necessary send for my maibox. I buy My Traffic 5.1 in Simmarket in 07/20/2007. I using the FSX and my operation system is Windows Vista.Thank´sCristiano Quote Link to post Share on other sites
baksteen33 1 Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Boa noite Christiano, The download takes while and the Communicator usually only appears to hang. It's > 200MB. Did you copy the Communicator to the MyTraffic directory? If you did and the download still doesn't finish after a while (you can maybe check whether your router is active?), please let us know. Muito obrigado e salutações Jaap Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jfwhiten 0 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 I can't download the 5.1a update either. The communicator keeps freezing on me according to Windoes Task Manager. FYI I bought from Simmmarket, and installed Dosnet 3.0, and I am using Windows XP with SP2. Can you send me a link that will work? Also, can you send a link to then update to 5.1.b? Thanks!

baksteen33 1 Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Hi, which version were you running before trying to upgrade to v.5.1a, MTX v.5.0 or MTX v.5.1? You might need to de-activate antivirus for the moment being. V.5.1b isn't available yet, still in preparation. Kind regards Jaap Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jfwhiten 0 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Hi Jaap, Thank you for your quick reply. I am running version MTXV51. The communicator says the newst version is MTXV51b. However the communication where is says "Intiate Load" Windows will close afterwards is greyed out. To be honest, I am not that computer literate. However when I check, the task manager it says the communicator is not responding. I could dowload the new airport though. When I try to load the update, I get some kind of debugging program showing up. FYI: I am running FSX Deluxe, SP2, on a pentium, with Windows XP. Issue 2 I know this is a strange question but matbe you can answer it for me. I could not get the windows toolbox to ever show up. I finally did a clean re-install of FSX and up to the point where I loaded SP2 and the final version of SDK, the toolbox was there. Then, after loading those two updates it disappeared. Any ideas as to why, or what to look for as the culpert? Thank you so much! Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
baksteen33 1 Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Hi Jim, I have a feeling we're facing a fundamental software prob. FWIW, my suspicion is some bits and bobs of the DotNet (DN) frameworks are missing. FYI-2, you'll need MS DotNet2 to make MyTrafficBoard display properly (in MTX v.5.1b). Now, you mentioned you installed DN3, but did you install DN1 followed by DN2 beforehand? It's important to install the DN frameworks in their order. MyTraffic 'only' requires MS DN1 & DN2.

Burkhard 22 Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Windows task manager cannot distinguish between a program that hangs and a prgram that is working. So when you use the Communicator from 5.1 or 5.1a, this just waits for the download to finish, and the task manager report non responding is completely OK - they are not supposed to respond but to work until the work is done. Please update the communicator using the update in viewtopic.php?f=4&t=65518&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=15 this does almost the same, but doesn't wait and returns you a bit counter updating you that the bits are flowing. If this does not work, please show up again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jfwhitener 0 Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Hello Burkhard, I just arrived back in country, which is why it has taken me so long to followup on this issue. I installed the updated communicator as you suggested. I can download aircraft files and airport files and the new sound file. However, when I tried to update from MTXV51 to MTXV51b (per the communicator), the box that reads "Intiate Download Windows will close after" still remains grey out. I let the communicator run for 3 hours and still nothing. Can you advise what my next step should be please? Thanks Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Burkhard 22 Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 There is a special version of the Communicator called updater that does not block, but is more informative in one of the sticky threads here. This fixed the problems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jfwhitener 0 Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Burkhard, I apologize, but I did not understand what you are telling me. Do you mean that there is a special version of the Communicator called updater? I did install the recent veriosn of the Communicator. As I said, I can download everything but the upgrade. Is there a file I can download somewhere that will simply upgrade to 51b? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Burkhard 22 Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 No. I already tried to explain you several times that if the Communicator from viewtopic.php?f=4&t=65518&start=15 in the menu "downloads" "New versions" does not find and download an update, we do not know what you have installed and do not know what file you will need. I can get a suspicion about it from the file manual\index_X.htm. if you can zip that file and attach to a PM that you send me maybe I can isolate one file that you need.
