AaronMyers 23 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Odd issue. I am aware of the Acceleration issue where the AES menu pops up with only the banner showing and needs to be resized to see the options. I'm ok with that, and that works fine when starting at an AES-enabled airport. The issue I have is when arriving at an AES-enabled airport I pull off the active onto a taxiway and use the standard AES hotkey to open the menu. It flashes up on the screen, is blank with no text, and quickly closes again. Hit the hotkey again, and the same thing, quickly flashes up on the screen and quickly closes again. This prevents me from selecting an arrival gate and follow me car. Once I taxi to a gate on my own, set the parking brake, and cut the engines, I get the normal AES vehicles and everything works at the gate. Any ideas?

AaronMyers 23 Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 As stated in my post, that works fine when starting at an airport as the menu stays visible long enough to do that. This is not the same issue. After landing it flashes up on the screen, is blank with no text, and quickly closes again. It does not stay on the screen for more than a second.

Deputy Sheriffs Holgi 2364 Posted February 9, 2012 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted February 9, 2012 Please press [strg]+[shift]+[w] this works for me ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronMyers 23 Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 That is the normal key combination for the AES menu. That's what I'm hitting. Anyone else have ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted February 9, 2012 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted February 9, 2012 Does his happen on any AES supported airport and with every aircraft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_327 42 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I have this problem too, but only if I have contacted ATC to request taxi to parking/gate etc. If I ignore the ATC, it works fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you try to close the ATC Window first, regardless what you have called, before you try to open the AES Window. I think I remember, there was a problem sometimes, when the ATC Window is open and you try to open the AES window, not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronMyers 23 Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 It has happened on my last three flights since installing version 2.21. I do not use FS ATC at all, haven't for a long time, but I do use Radar Contact. Not sure they are related though because at my originating airport I open both windows interchangeably without issue.

Chris_327 42 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Can you try to close the ATC Window first, regardless what you have called, before you try to open the AES Window. I think I remember, there was a problem sometimes, when the ATC Window is open and you try to open the AES window, not sure. Just upgraded from 2.20d to 2.21, problem seems to have been fixed! Just some extra into for you, I had already closed the ATC window before opening the AES window. From memory, it only seemed to occur at specific airports, though whether this is related I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronMyers 23 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Any other thoughts? Not having gate selection and follow me is a fairly large piece of the product. Any comment from Oliver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer OPabst 2091 Posted February 10, 2012 Developer Share Posted February 10, 2012 Can you please try to delete the Vistamare subfolder below the fsx main dir, then start and stop AEShelp once to recreate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronMyers 23 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Will try that when I get home and report back. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems to have resolved the issue on my last flight. Thank you for the suggestion and help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanel 1 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 After updating to 2.21 version I have issue with popup AES main menu window. I can not open it. I tried to reinstall AES, delete Vistamare folder and create it from the scratch, tried to change opening key assigments. No successes. I checked in my account history and the first credits I purchased in July 2009. From that time I didn't have any problems. My config - FSX Acc, Win7 Ult 64. Any ideas?

Raimo 3 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I had this same problem, but not frequently. I discovered that if I open AES menu while im doing after landing checklist (on taxyway with parking brakes set), everything works just fine. It doesen't appear all the times, just sometimes.
