ch00scd 2 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Hi Judith and Christian I use PFPX v1.16 and just wanted to upgrade to v1.17 but unfortunately neither the upgrade installer (v1.16 to v1.17) nor the full installer (v1.17) work. In the past, I never had any problems with the installers. Any help provided? Thanks a lot in advance and a happy new year. Kind regards, Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4161 Posted January 2, 2015 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted January 2, 2015 And what exactly does not work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch00scd 2 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Hi Otto When I start the installer in admin mode, nothing happens. Not even the installer start screen appears that normally guides you through the upgrade. It's like you click on an exe-file but nothing happens. Hope this additional information helps. Any ideas why it's not working? Thanks for your help in advance. Regards, Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch00scd 2 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Just a quick note to let everybody know that I have sent a support request for my problem with the installer. I am now just wondering if somebody else has the same problem with the installer or if I am the only one. This might help to figure out if the problem is with the installer or with me (or my computer). Regards, Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srcooke 421 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 No issues at all with the full installer here Daniel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch00scd 2 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Hello Stephen, thanks for your quick feedback; this helps a lot and I try now to figure out why my computer cannot handle the installer (maybe the problem is Vista?)

ch00scd 2 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Hm, it's more than strage. I checked the installer for v1.16 and v1.15 and they run smoothly without any problems. Just the installer v1.17 doesn't work on my computer. Maybe the developer has an idea how to solve this problem. Regards, Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ch00scd 2 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Hi all, Just a quick note to let you know that I was able to solve the problem with the installer. Most likely it was an issue with the browser and it finally helped to download the update with IE and to run directly the exe-file after downloading within IE. Regards and a happy new year, Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielR 1 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 CFMU validation bug still unfixed in 1.17... :-( A friendly bug report submitted via the support request form last year went without any reaction. When will we finally get this feature back, which is currently reporting "server subscription expired" although that was never announced as one of the features requiring a subscription?

pete_auau 5 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 the only issue I have is everything works for pmdg aircraft except for the ifly747v2, now I solved my issue by using the browse option that's on the top and not using the browse options that are on the right hand side now all aircraft saves corrcetly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobFlight23 0 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Hi I was wondering has the UI issue with the schedule been address? I downgraded from v1.16 to v1.15 and it works fine. I upgraded to the lastest v1.17 and I still can not see the schedule entries. I know there are some reports that version 1.17 is working fine. What information am I missing if the UI only works with version 1.15v. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qqwertzde 158 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I tried exporting flightplans to PMDG and the format seems to be incorrect. The MD-11 isn't recognizing the flightplan. I opened a new one and an old one with a text editor and they're pretty much different.I have the same problem with the 737-800 NGX.Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QFA747 0 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 G'Day, Installed 1.17 OK, but PMDG 747 does not recognise the .rte being generated. It is radically different from the .rte files generated by 1.16, which PMDG recognised. You've fixed one problem (FSX recognises the .pln as IFR now) but created another one! How about we go for 1.18 -- write the .pln as in 1.17 and the .rte as in 1.16. You'll be good then. Cheers, QFA747 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike1992 0 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Hello, After the 1.17 update I'm now having issue with extra fuel calculation, I use a custom template for PMDG 77W which worked well in all previous versions of PFPX, but now I'm getting extra fuel calculation for 10+ hours of flight time, which will of course cause an over-weight. I tried to modify time or quantity in extra fuel fields but of no use. I found the calculation works when the aircraft is light loaded (about 30 pax), when I have 100+ pax, PFPX tends to full fill the tanks somehow... Thanks for the help!

ugandaone 3 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Very strange. After the update and latest hotfix I was having the similar issue of the schedules disappearing (W7 64 bit). Went back to 1.15 all was fine then tried updating again and same thing. Then I copied the hotfix into the PFPX folder without deleting the 1.15 executable and when I ran it it asked for my key code (which the full installer did not) and now the schedules are back and I have what appears to be 1.17.7. Assuming I should now delete the old exec? John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
