Is VDGS Sim Update 12 Compatible?

[Uber_Screw_2k]

Hi Guys  I would really like some help please.  I have been scouring the forum regards VDGS for some help but nothings fits my issue.  I cannot get any of the guidance stations to work.  I have all the dependencies downloaded via Aerosoft One.  All three are sat in my community folder.  The shift V key brings up the VDGS flight planning module but nothing I enter appears at the gate.  I have tried at EDLP and the new NZCH.  The sim is run as administrator but nothing I have done seems to get a functioning result.

 

I have attached my driver log file if that helps???aerosoft-vdgs-driver-log.log

We have simply no reasons why it should not be compatible and your comment is the first we have seen.

Will ask others to check the log.

Hi,

please do the following: exit the simulator, open up the file "Community\aerosoft-vdgs-driver\aerosoft-vdgs-driver-log.ini" with a text editor and change the line "Verbose=0" to "Verbose=1".

Save the file. Restart the simulator and try to get the vdgs to work just like you did before. Then re-attach the created log file for us to review.

Thanks for the response.  I will do exactly as requested and get back to you as soon as I can with an updated log.

Hi Benjamin I have completed your suggested steps, once again without success.  This time I attach some additional files to confirm instructions have been adhered to as well as a screenshot to see what I am seeing when I start the application at stand 4 @ EDLP.  Really hope this provides some clues?

 

Thanks for the on-going support.

Hi,

thanks for the log file.

 

As you can see there is multiple entries stating: "Airport 'EDLP' COULD NOT be verified, reason: 'PACKAGE_NAME_UNVERIFIED'" in the .log file. So...what is the name of the airport package in your Community folder? Have you changed it?

Thanks for getting back to me.  I think I have found the issue.  I use addon linker and so when I installed the dependencies on a drive other than the one I use for msfs, the exe.xml file was directed to find the application in the folder on the non msfs drive, now I have changed the exe.xml file to find the VDGS application in the core msfs community folder, it all works fine.  Thank you for helping me work through this 👍

Yes...currently tinkering with any of the pathes/packages names can cause issues with the vdgs driver. But, great you've found the culprit! Happy flying.
