Unhandled exeption after automatic update to V1.9.3 Rev4

[Goofey007 24]

Hi

 

first of all I want to thank the developer of this fine program. With the help of it, I can finetune my flightsims to my needs. As up to today I was on V1.9.2.Rev15. It handled fsx/fsx-se/P3Dv3/P3Dv4, which are installed parallel on the same machine, without problems.

Today, at program start-up, there was a message to update to V1.9.3 Rev4 (Autoupdate enabled). After downloading and installing the update, there is an error message when simStarter starts for FSX and FSX-se. No problems encountered when choosing P3DV3 & 4.

Please, do not tell that simstarter ends support for fsx/fsx-se with this new version.

After choosing continue, there is second picture.

To solve this I am back on V1.9.2 Rev15 and disabled automatic updates. No problems with this version

No. Support for FSX and FSX-SE has not ended yet for SIMstarter NG.

Can you please open it in P3D Mode and post a DebugPack. I need further investigation.

 

Thanks.

Hi  Capt. PERO,

 

Wilco -:)

sorry for the delay, just returned from Aachener Weihnachtsmarkt...

Following:

I have taken following steps:

-Start Simstarter NG, enabled autoupdate

-After autoupdate completed restarted Simstarter NG in P3Dv3 mode

-After program start I checked whether debug logging is enabled. It is by default.

-However, after clicking on the ok-button for closing the dialogwindow, I receive message: Critical error: no aircrafts found! Simstarter NG terminates.

-Following attempts to start Simstarter NG in P3Dv3 mode have the same outcome.

--Luckily all my aircrafts are still in the simobjects folder of P3Dv3 -:)

-Next, started Simstarter Ng in P3Dv4 mode and created Debugpackage

 

Then there is a log file also...

I am not a programmer, hope this helps

Hi,

 

I have also a second license installed on a second PC with FSX only.

The same on this PC, after updating to V1.9.3 Rev 4 , I am out of business -:(

However I managed to create a support package

Both PC are kept up-to-date and are on Win 10Pro V1909 Build 118363.535

Yesterday the new AMD Radeon Software Adrenaline 2020 package was installed on both PC's

Hi again.

 

On the second PC (FSX only):

Just found out: after clicking on the oke button for closing the 'program settings window' the unhandled exception message (See 1st post) appears

 

Hope this helps

[Goofey007 24]

And some more info

 

because closing the 'program settings window' causes some problems, I tried this on my main flightsim PC with Simstarter NG started in P3Dv4 mode.

The following happens:

The 'Use different situation settings ' is greyed out (Not usable).

It seems I was a little to quick stating in my first post that there are no problems with Simstarter NG in P3D v3&4 mode

Yes, and the little text shows you "(disabled because no Sim ConfigSet)".

If you select a SimConfig Set this comes back.

Go to

C:\Aerosoft\SIMstarter NG\data\P3Dv3\settings.ini

 

and replace

[SIMOBJECTS]
searchFolders=C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\12BPILOT\SODE\P3DV3\..\data\SimObjects;C:\ProgramData\12bPilot\SODE\SimObjects;

 

with

[SIMOBJECTS]
searchFolders=SimObjects\Airplanes;SimObjects\Rotorcraft;

 

 

Please: After checking out all my remarks for every PC - please open new topics per PC/Problem. It's hard for me to sort out. Thanks.

I have done this right now (D:\Aerosoft\SIMstarter NG\data\P3Dv3\settings.ini)

No change. The critical error message is still there

However I noticed strange thing.

After Simstarter NG closes, the line I have to replace is back there

Is there a second place where another settings.ini is located?

Looking further into it

Back in business with Simstarter V1.9.3 Rev4 in P3Dv4 mode -:)

64-bit flightsims are the future...

Solved now. There will be an update fixing this issue.
