Hi,

forgive me if this is going to be a silly question....but...after I create a profile, when I quit the profile settings section, using "close profile settings", all changes are lost....i.e. if I open the profile again evertything has reset to default. Am I overlooking something ?

Thanks 

hmmm, that sounds strange...

 

Are you modifying the MasterProfile or another profile?

What are you doing in detail that I could try to comprehend.

 

If you are using SIMstarter changes will do changes to the fsx.cfg only after starting a profile (if you don't choose another option in Program settings).

Or you may have duplicate variables/sections in your fsx.cfg or in one of your profiles.

To check that

 

1. Start SIMstarter
2. Click "Tools" > "Sort and validate file..."
3. Click "fsx.cfg" button
4. Tick "validate file" checkbox
5. Click "sort file"

Please to the same with your problematic profile.

Just to ensure everything is working fine... ;O)

Pero,

thanks for your quick answer, but...for the moment I am at a dead end..!

What happens is when I try to enter the settings for a profile, by clicking on the settings icon I have the following warning:

 

"Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.

Value of "0" is not valid for "Value". "Value" should be between "Minimum" and "Maximum".

Parameter name : Value"

 

And in the details I have the following:

 

"See the end of this message for details on invoking 

just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************

To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this

application or computer (machine.config) must have the

jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.

The application must also be compiled with debugging

enabled.

 

For example:

 

<configuration>

    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />

</configuration>

 

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception

will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer

rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Now, if I click Continue and then try to reopen the Profile Settings, I have no more warning, the settings page open normally, but all settings previously done have gone and I have to restart from scratch.

But the most important thing is that none of the input settings is applied to P3D...I would assume that once I have created a profile, then I launch P3D or FSX from that profile and all settings are applied, but this does not happen in my case.....what am I doing wrong ? 

By the way, I am testing it on P3D, which is installed on a completely separate Drive and System than FSX.....once I have managed to run it flawlessly, then I will apply it also to FSX.

 

Thanks for your help....

 

Regards

 

Ezio

Please send my the following files to [email protected]

 

- prepar3d.cfg

- ZipArchiv with <YOUR SIMSTARTER DIR>\Userprofiles

 

I would like to debug... ;O)

Just sent....

 

Regards

 

 

Ezio

That was a bug at the ChangeTime and TransitionTime sliders. If there where set to 0.000000 SIMstarter crahes because of the wrong slider definition.

 

If sended the current BETA to your hand which will solve the problem.

 

Enjoy SIMstarter!

Thanks a lot...!

Will try soon and report back...

Have a nice evening

 

Ciao

 

Ezio

Working well now...!

Thanks again for your support...

Have a great day..!

Hi Pero

 

I appear to be having the same problem. Would it also be possible to have a Beta copy?

Hi Pero

 

I appear to be having the same problem. Would it also be possible to have a Beta copy?

 

That one was already fixed in the current version (v2.5 build 03)

 

Can you please post your fsx.cfg?

Hi Pero

I have had the issue with P3D, I have FSX and F3D on the same partition on a SSD with W7 and very little else.

//Non-Default entry. Default 0.33This entry will not exist in your Prepar3D.cfg file by default and must be added 
//to the file. Performance Tuning Tip: 
//This setting, which defaults to a value of .33 (33%), defines the percentage of each frame that is devoted
//to loading scenery. Increasing this number can reduce "the blurries", but it can cause stutters,
//and can also reduce the overall frame rate. Try reducing the number to the lowest level where you still get
//smooth scenery paging. This will vary depending on disk speed as well as the type of flying, as well as
//the selected scenery settings. Lower the SWT-out until white flashing begins - then up it by one. Mine is set
// to 3, as it was when using the 580. Remember - it's tied to the FFTF setting - which will cause stuttering
// when too high, and ground texture blurring when too low.

Thanks for any help.

From what I have seen your software will help me to control my flying. Many thanks for all your efforts.

Both files are working on my system. Can you please send me your .\UserProfiles folder?

You'll find the email adress by clicking "About" in SIMstarter.

 

What profile is causing the error?

That was a bug at the ChangeTime and TransitionTime sliders. If there where set to 0.000000 SIMstarter crahes because of the wrong slider definition.

 

If sended the current BETA to your hand which will solve the problem.

 

Enjoy SIMstarter!

 

This bug still exists in 2.60.1 and 2.60.03, although it can be sneaky. You can set ChangeTime and TransitionTime to 0.000000 and SimStarter will run fine, several times. However, if you start FSX directly (i.e. without using SimStarter) and then open SimStarter, the app will crash as above and continue to do so, screwing up all your configs, until you change the values. Now.... back to recreating all my profiles :/

Sorry, I will check that...
