Any idea whats going on please. Ive tried editing the start as you described in your youtube video but it wont accept anything as a true path to my makerunways location. Can you suggest anything please. Graham WIN10 64bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pellelil 59 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I'm guessing it can't locate the settings-file. Is this a fresh (first time) installation? which version? I suggest you fully un-install the program and remove the two folders (where "[user-name]" is naturally your windows user-name): C:\Program Files (x86)\FlightplanVisualizer C:\Users\[user-name]\AppData\Roaming\FlightplanVisualizer Reboot the computer Install version 1.18 Start version 1.18 BEFORE you try to change anything EDIT: There should be a Logfile.log in your C:\Users\[user-name]\AppData\Roaming\FlightplanVisualizer\Logs folder which might have some more info of what went wrong.

pellelil 59 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 On 2nd thought it might an issue with your runways.xml if you made your own? (not using the one bundled with the installer). You error message report an encoding error in line 1224199 (position 33). I recently had an issue myself with MakeRunways caused by illegal chars in runways.xml. It was an issue with the free Aerosoft Paderborn scenery and the order by which MakeRunways was scanning (MSFS) official/3rd party scenery. Peter Dowson fixed this by changing the scan order, so perhaps you just need to update- and re-run MakeRunways: https://forum.simflight.com/topic/92054-illegal-char-in-runwaysxml-mkrwy-511/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsumner 6 Posted April 9, 2021 Author Share Posted April 9, 2021 So I'll do this step by step. I updated the makerunways to latest version and ran it. Rmoved all traces of your app, then installed 1.18 and ran it then directed it to my p3dv5 folder in the settings.

pellelil 59 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 The issue is with your runways.xml file. If you load the runways.xml file into a text editor which can handle large files (like Notepad++) and goto line: 1224199 I am sure you will see some weird (illegal) chars or chars that are not encoded/escaped correctly (hence the xml-file is invalid). The issue I experienced, I saw "reversed chars" (black background/white text) in Notepad++ shown with hex-codes (e.g. "xA6"). Have you tried to download- and run the latest MakeRunways? It can be downloaded from via this link: http://www.fsuipc.com/ It's listed as version 5.11 (on the website) however it is in fact a newer version (you can see this when you have downloaded/extracted the file and look at properties/details it should show version as "5.1.2.6") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsumner 6 Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 Sure, As i wrote in the first line of my last post I already did all that. My makerunways is version 5.126. Do you have your own version ? Does your program retrieve these files by itself or do I have to copy them manually to your programs folder ?

pellelil 59 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 There are multiple ways. When first installed (when nothing have changed) FV is setup to look for the 3 files it uses (Runways.xml, G5.csv, and F5.csv) in the user-data folder. However going into settings you can specify another path, and when specified the next time you start FV it will look for the 3 files in that folder. Lastly in one of the 2 last releases (forgot which one) I added an argument that can be specified in the shortcut, where this argument tells where to locate these 3 files. However I don't think your issue is finding these files. It appears that there are some "illegal" chars in your Runways.xml file. As I wrote I had this issue myself with the free Paderborn scenery in MSFS. When scanned with MkRwy the city name for Paderborn contained some weird (illegal) chars. This issue went away when Pete changed the order by which MkRwy scans "official" and 3rd party scenery (however only for MSFS). To me it appears you are using P3Dv5? These days I use mostly MSFS, however I have used P3Dv4.5 together with FV without any issues. As I wrote in the last note, please load your Runwayx.xml into a text-editor that can handle larges files (e.g. Notepad++) and have a look in the line its complaining about (1224199). In the search-menu of Notepad++ you find a menu-item called "Go to" which opens a form where you can enter the line number it should go to (be patient it takes a few seconds with such a large file. Alternative put the file somewhere (e.g. drop-box or similar) where you can share the folder so I can download it, and have a look at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsumner 6 Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 Youre correct. Its a scenery install path with an accented e. Ive asked for help in the orbx forum. https://orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/206869-lfll-and-makerunways/ Ill let you know the outcome Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pellelil 59 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 It appeared changing the "é" to an "e" cured your issue. If possible I would still like to have a look at the faulty Runways.xml so I can inform Peter Dowson so he (perhaps) can do something in MkRwy to handle- or at least detect this.

gsumner 6 Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 Ok ill check my backups and send you a bad one before my edits. You'll note it identified a non standard minus sign too in the folder url. I've informed orbx and they plan to change the installation path. I'm quite busy today so if i can't upload it today (Saturday) I'll do it tomorrow. Thanks Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
