Hi there,

 

First of all. Many thanks for this powerful but very handy program.

However I ran into a Unhandled exception when trying to use Jumpstart.

 

The program settings are checked and seem okay.

 

This is the error log after pressing " Jumpstart":

 

 

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.

 

Any pointers as to what is going wrong here?

Looks like a problem in one of your saved flights. Can you please test the following:

 

- Backup your "<DOKUMENTS>\Flight Simulator X-Files" directory

- empty it

- Start SIMstarter > Jumpstart again

 

If that works please mail me your zipped "Saved flights". ;O)

 

Feedback would be great! Are you using the latest version of SIMstarter (v2.6 build 03)?

Hi Pero,

 

I'm running V2.3.6

Following your instructions I was able start Jumpstart without unhandled exception.

Here's a link to my compressed folder: https://www.dropbox.com/s/crwr65cdnm7s0hi/Flight%20Simulator%20X%20Files.rar?dl=0 

Thanks a lot.

 

I checked all files with 2.6.3 and everything is working fine.

Did you changed anything regarding your date and time setting of your OS? Maybe you can check it.

Or copy step by step the saved flights.

 

I assumed that one of your saved flight was corrupt but for me its impossible to double check because its working.

 

Otherwise we could have a Skype session to a remote diagnostic?

Hi Pero,

 

Sorry for the late reply. Avsim was acting up.

I removed all flights like you told.. Made a new default flight (default Trike above Puget Sound). Tried to start Jumpstart and again an unhandled exception.

So perhaps it's indeed something else (date/time settings)

 

I'm running Win10 Pro with Dutch region setting. Might that be a problem?

 

The first message in the error log states:

De conversie van tekenreeks 1.1.2015 naar type Date is ongeldig.

The conversion from string 1.1.2015 to type Date is invalid.

Yes could be.

Would it be possible to have a Skype remote desktop session?

Please write me an email. You'll find my email adress by clicking "About" within the SIMstarter menu.

 

I would like to double check your time and region settings. I use Win10 my self - without problems - but in german. ;O)

Hi Pero, yes no problem. Only I'm a view days at my work now. Tommorow I'm at home. I will email you!

Update on the Jumpstart: Unhandled exception

 

The problem seem to have been solved by changing the date/time settings in Win10.
Originally I had a short (US) time and date setting like 2:30PM and by changing it to the 24 hour format (e.g.14:30) the problem went away. I've tested it with several of the original flight/situation files and all went well. i.e. without the unhandled exception error.

 

I'm a happy camper for now

Cpt. Pero please mark this issue as solved   :smile:
