I'm trying to convert some of my Polish airports from FSX to X-Plane using fs2xplane, and although fs2xplane runs and appears to start converting, it always pops up with the following error message:

 

 (a,b,c,d,x)=unpack('<IIIIB',bgl.read(17))

error: unpack requires a string argument of length 17

 

I'm not sure what's going on here, and I've googled about, the only post I could find was this a post on X-Plane.org, indicating there is an old version of some library installed, it's using google cache as I'm banned from the site

It seems the author indicated there was a problem and he'd fix it, but it was never fixed. However, I've noticed people are using it and converting scenery so it must be working somehow. I've tried running it on both Mac OS and Windows, same problem.

 

I've tried converting other scenery such as basic stuff, and same error. It used to work when I last tried using it about 2 years ago. Does anyone have any ideas, or have managed to get it to work?

 

I'm using Windows 7 x64, and X-Plane 10.25. I've tried compatibility mode, XP Mode, etc.. I also get the same problem running it on a virtual machine using Windows XP 32 bit. Any help would be appreciated

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The command-line only version seems to work when running in Windows 2000 mode. I've managed to convert some of the airports without problems, and they look good
