Flight Toolkit Support and Questions

[HiFlyer 9,343]

Its no longer available for sale but I did purchase An extra bundle as a steam gift........ and forgot all about it. I cant even remember what I paid, but I think it was about $25

 

It includes

 

Steam Summer Sale: Microsoft Flight Summer Sale Bundle

Microsoft Flight Hawaiian Adventure Pack
Microsoft Flight Maule M-7-260C
Microsoft Flight North American P-51 Mustang
Microsoft Flight Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero
Microsoft Flight: Alaskan Wilderness
Microsoft Flight - Curtiss P-40
Microsoft Flight: F4U Corsair

 

I could send it too you as a Steam Gift if you have an account, or I could apparently send you an email that allows you to download it all, but I don't know how I would be reimbursed.  :unsure:

The steam version doesn't work anymore, does it?

[HiFlyer 9,343]

The steam version doesn't work anymore, does it?

 

I have both installed, and both work fine.........

[OMGBBQ32 12]

That's funny, it didn't work for me... 6 months ago. Why is it working now?

[HiFlyer 9,343]

That's funny, it didn't work for me... 6 months ago. Why is it working now?

Beats me. :-) I have both icons on my desktop, both open and work fine, and both respond to Stonlances tools.

[Air1 136]

If you paid for it, it should work! Just a matter of locating it. Good luck.

Still works for me, but then I never un-installed it. However I did install a new OS on the same computer on a new drive and managed to point Steam at the correct location.

 

Running it once prompts steam to install all the pre-requisites. The DLC however is another matter. You have to use the Windows Live Marketplace Client (If it isn't already installed, you should be able to download it).

 

Use this to download any of the DLC you have already got, or have keys for. You can also move downloaded DLC into the DLC folder (configurable within WLMC) and get the client to accept it. It's a little finnicky:

 

1. Start downloading the content, wait until 1%, then close the WLMC
2. Move the DLC file into the DLC folder
3. Re-open WLMC and continue the download
4. WLMC will check the files & see that they are complete

At least, that's what I remember.

 

 

--------

 

I just realised you meant the toolkit. Either way, Steam version should work. The only possible difference with the steam version is that it has hooks for the steam overlay. You may still be able to download the client via WLMC if all else fails.

For me, Flight Toolkit v0.9.4 works with the exception of creating a new livery (based on an existing livery) using the 'Addon Builder'. All other functions works (e.g., 'Addon Builder' works and 'Addon Manager' allows me to download addons and to install addons, which work flawlessly in-game). I run Windows 7 64-bit with above-average specs to run MS Flight (in fact, it runs flawlessly at high graphics levels).

 

The problem occurs when trying to use the 'asset select screen' in the 'Addon Builder' v0.9.4, seen here. The program crashes ("Windows has encountered an error and needs to close"); however, this part of the program works when I downgrade to Flight Toolkit v0.7.3. I cannot find a debug/useful output of the error, but I just bring this to your attention.

 

Thanks to your wonderful Toolkit, I have produced my first (albeit crude) livery - I will upload it shortly on Avsim.

 

Thank you for your continued support of MS Flight - I forgot just how immersive it really is, and (sadly) just how much potential it did not realize.

 

Regards,

Thanks for the note.  Can you tell me what livery you are trying to base the new one off of?  Does it crash no matter what livery you pick?  Also, can you try disabling all the addons in the Addon Manager, and then try creating the livery again?

 

If none of those work, you should be able to see the callstack of the crash in the Windows Event Viewer (Type "Event Viewer" in the start menu, or start screen), select Windows Logs\Application and look for errors in the addon builder (will have an error icon).

[jarsky 12]

@ stonelance: I am actually just about to upload my [first] livery to the 'Flight Livery Hanger'. Anyway, I based my new livery on the Icon A5's 'Silver Lining 100th' livery; however, the program crashed regardless of (1) the livery I selected (this also occured when trying to select any of the other aircraft) and (2) whether addons were disabled in the Addon Manager.

 

To downgrade version each time I want to create a new livery is not ideal; however, for whatever reason it works and it is really not a problem. Please see below for the 'Event Viewer' log:

I hope that this helps to debug future versions; however, this could be idiosyncratic, and the solution in my case is simple (downgrading from v0.9.4 to v0.7.3).

 

N.B. I cannot install addons created with v0.7.3 by using the v0.9.4 Addon Manager, and vice-versa. So I create liveries in v0.7.3 and install them with the same version. Then I upgrade to v0.9.4 for full functionality.

 

Thank you for your support.

im using win 8.1 pro  64bit

[stonelance 136]

Can you try installing this first and see if FlightToolkit will install afterwards? http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784

[jannka 0]

still the same error

[stonelance 136]

There should be two log files in that same folder.  What does the other one say?

Just for information sake, I have the exact same problem. 0.9.4 will crash anytime in try to extract any livery; 0.7.3 works great. I am running Vista 64, haven't tried it on Win 7 or 8 yet.
