S3rg1o 1 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I've bought the Follow Me extension, and after properly installed and activated, it's not working. I open SAM main window, on Follow Me page and it's stuck on "Loading resources...", I can select a parking spot thought but it won't do nothing... log attached.

XPJavelin 18 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Hi, I had the same thing, and I guess reloading the sim solved it, sadly I don't remember exactly how, but just to tell you it's an incurable problem.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S3rg1o 1 Posted November 27, 2020 Author Share Posted November 27, 2020 Thanks for the reply. I'll try it... BTW Does it work from parking to runway for departure or only on arrivals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPJavelin 18 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Arrival only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S3rg1o 1 Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 Feeling a bit desapointed here, I can't put it to work, I've just landed on KLAX, and it says "No parking location is avaiable in this location"... I mean, seriously? It's SFD's KLAX HD a.k.a. MisterX6! How can it be? What am I missing here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it's true but this is what I was told, yes. vor 31 Minuten, S3rg1o sagte: "No parking location is avaiable in this location" I got the same message today and this can be solved by doing the following: Go to your X-Plane 11 folder Search for files: apt.cache Wait until search has completed Delete all apt.cache files The apt.cache files are speeding up SAM startup but outdated ones prevent the follow me process to work as they don't contain the information needed. It's safe to delete them, SAM will create new ones on next start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest urgently updating with a new revision where every 10 or so xplane startups, the apt.cache are cleaned,so regular update can happen before the user gets in trouble.

In years of aviation enthusiast I always thought "Follow Me" operations existed both on arrivals and departures at least for big airports, pilots may get lost while taxiing to take-off runway. I hope we get it as an option in a future update... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S3rg1o 1 Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 Situation update: Finally I got "Follow Me" extension to work properly, looks like it doesn't go along with X-Plane 11.51 beta and a fewu plugins as well. Thanks for all the help everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
