Hi Maarten,

Downloaded your program.  Ran it a couple of times then saw there was an update so downloaded and installed v5.9.6444.37686.  Now it will not start up and gives me the error message Unable to Initialize Database Simlauncher will now close.  Any idea what went wrong?

The log states the following:

20170823175511    Loading database

Hi Jim,

Sorry about that, your not the first one to suffer from this issue. To solve the issue, delete the C:\Users\JimY\Documents\SimLauncherX\SimLauncherX.P3Dv4.sqlite file and start again. Upon restart a new database will be created and everything will be ok after that. A new database had to be created anyway with the new version, but the application should not crash. I have disabled further downloads of the new version temporarily and will try to find a solution tomorrow (bedtime now in The Netherlands).

Edit: I was able to reproduce and fix issue. I will release a new version asap.

thanks, Maarten

found the cause of the issue

Thanks Maarten.  That fixed it and I was able to reinstall the new version with no errors.  Sent you a small donation earlier.  I really appreciate your contributions to the community.  This program is like a Swiss Army Knife!!

Best regards,

Jim

Hi Jim,

Thank you very much for your donation and the compliments!

I couldn't resist fixing the issue before going to bed. Unfortunately for you, you will have to delete the database again before you install the latest version. There was no other way to fix it ;-(

thanks, Maarten

Hi Maarten,

That was a superfast response and fix.  I appreciate your losing some sleep and the support!  I'm anxious to 'dive' into this program to see everything it does.

Best regards,

Jim

Hi Jim,

I hope you like it! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask here on the forum or via e-mail. I still need to bring the user guide up to date, but a description of the more recent features (like RAAS, the fleet management, taxi route finder etc.) can also be found in the change log (button on the Home ribbon tab).

thanks, Maarten
