Hi,

 

I am fairly new to this forum so apologies if I ask questions that have already been answered.

 

I currently run FSX with Active Sky 2012, ezdok, and fs2crew.

 

I recently updated to fs2crew 1.5 and I am receiving an "SDK failed to initialise" but only when trying to join my Airlines LAN network. It works fine in freeflight.

 

I have tried all of the following soloutions.

 

1: Reinstalled SP1C for the PMDG 737 NGX then reinstalling fs2crew

2: Reinstalled the whole 737-800/900 package then reinstalling fs2crew

3: Tried loading a stock aircraft first then global disabling ezdok and reloading pmdg and initialising fs2crew

4: All the other suggestions that I have found.

 

The only major difference between freeflight and the LAN seems to be that when you join a LAN session you join in "paused" mode and have to un-pause to start setting up. Ezdok as we know forces a vc view at the start, but hitting F10 and switching to 2D as you enter the game seems to do the trick in freeflight and fs2crew will load. I wonder if entering the LAN paused, unpausing and hitting F10 is where the error starts.

 

Any help would be hugely appreciated, is there a way of forcing ezdok to start in 2d?

 

This bug needs sorting

Hi Matt,

 

EZDOK starts in the 2D cockpit fine for me.

 

Are you using the latest version of EZDOK?

 

As for your SDK error when joining the LAN network... try this... after the NGX finishes loading, "reset" the flight via the FLIGHTS -> RESET option menu.

 

Simconnect and the PMDG 737 NGX SDK have a weird issue (even Pete Dowson commented on it) whereby the SDK sometimes loads on "alternate" load attempts.

 

Best,

Hi Bryan,

 

Thanks for the tip, one small propblem though, the "Re-set Flight" option is greyed out... bugger! I think this may be a setting thats either allowed or disallowed by the HOST.

 

However, if I end the flight and return to the briefing room and join the session again then it seems to work :-)

 

Going to do a full setup and flight from cold and dark to shutdown and will report back.

 

Regards

 

Matt
