Problems loading AS into Fs9

Featured Replies

Sorry if this has already been covered but I haven't come across it. I am having trouble loading weather themes - when I'm activating Fs9 I get the following:-"FSpathE:Program FilesFlight Simulator 9not currently available - unable to check wx station list. This may cause problems with stationweather. Please enable FS9 machine/path then restart AS to ensure proper operation". When I first checked the configuration settings in ASv6 folder, within Modules/fs9, it did indicate "D" drive in stead of the correct one "E". I changed the "D" to "E" in both the ASv6 and ASGraphics folder but it is still giving me the above message. Also, when Fs9 is starting up I get a message telling me that it is unable to load weather themes. Any help here would be appreciate and thanks in anticipation. :-(

Hi,Sorry for the problem.The line should be this:PersonalAppDataFolder = C:Documents and SettingsUserNameApplication DataWhat letter is your boot drive?What letter is FS installed On?Please let us know,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development Team Active Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/AirSource Member: http://www.air-source.us/FSEconomy Member:http://www.fseconomy.com/

Thankyou for your quick response.The line did have an error in it...ie User Name was shown as christian name and surname whereas in my case it should have been just the christian name only. However, despite correcting that it hasn't fixed the problem..the message as detailed above still comes up.;( To answer your other questions:-What letter is boot drive = "C"What letter if FS installed on = "E"Would appreciate your further advice. Thanks

Hi,Please update to B533 and see if that helps.Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development Team Active Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/AirSource Member: http://www.air-source.us/FSEconomy Member:http://www.fseconomy.com/

Well Jim I'm completely bamboozled now!! A cannot get that download for B533 to apply - it goes through all the motions but there is no result at the end. But also I find that in E/BaseFolder/Modules/Asv6/ini I have "Build 523" and in Fs9/Modules/Asv6/ini I have "Build 499". Is there a duplication here that's causing conflict?

Hi,Yes, you have things spread out all over the place. Uninstall everything AS related, and then drop me an e-mail.Thanks!Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development Team Active Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/AirSource Member: http://www.air-source.us/FSEconomy Member:http://www.fseconomy.com/

I've removed everything as requested but what is your e-mail address?
