What am i doing wrong ?

At first glance: nothing.

I will investigate this weekend.

It's a bug and fixed.
It occurs when 'model=' has no value in the aircraft.cfg, so it affects also other aircraft/repaints.

Tomorrow at the latest, and updated AI2UTL will be released.
Thanks for the hint!

Version 1.0.0.5 available fixing bug AI2UTL not selecting a repaint when 'model=' has no value in the aircraft.cfg

Same link to OneDrive should work:
AI2UTL V1.0.0.5

Hello Egbert:

I was able to successfully inject a lot of FLAi repaints and then test in P3Dv4.3 without any issues. Apart of the changes you did for v1.0.0.4:

1. Reduced the number of FLAi repaints from the original downloaded zip file from 156 to 79. I deleted (or did not use) those which were not included in your original dhq.ai2utl.search-codes.json file and those which represents aircraft models I don't want to replace (either because they are not common or not seen in traffic very often, or are of no interest to me. All this help to reduce the load of AI traffic aircraft in the simulator, which I think was the root cause of a P3D hang-up the other time when I was testing changing airports to Milano-Linate (JetStream Design's very AI crowded scenery).

2. Edited the dhq.ai2utl.search-codes.json file to eliminate all entries related to the aircraft models that I'll not use according to point 1 before, and also to eliminate all entries like this "AiCode": "", (line "empty", see below, which is a typical one eliminated):

{
    "UtlCode": "143",
    "AiCode": "",
    "SearchIn": "FLai;MISC"
  },

I don't know if points 1 and 2 above would make sense to you, but the fact is that now everything seems to be working just fine here!.

If you have any comments or questions, please let me know.

Cheers, Ed

Thanks for this - I'm getting random ntdll crashes and I suspect it's also something to do with the same issues you're running into. Are the AICode blank ones basically unused? I'm not sure what that actually means.

I just grabbed 1.0.0.5, and I'm removing all those blanks. Hopefully that does the trick.

Hi, not sure about that, but my intention was to reduce the number of repaints being injected and this is a way to do it. Try by yourself and please let us know your findings.

I had an application hang, reported by the Windows App Crash Viewer and one sudden CTD with no further indication of errors in ACV. I did not get any ntdll crashes (yet...!).

Cheers, Ed

Unfortunately, all my manual assignments I did before were gone after I run the injector. So it makes no sense for my set-up.

So, I removed all the blank AiCodes - good news - no crashes. I picked up from a flight that had crashed, and the last 4 hours or so went fine. Bad news - no traffic. I'm guessing it's because UTL doesn't like the traffic levels in-sim being messed with 🙂 However, once I restarted, all of the United liveries were the old tulips. So I'll undo the blanks and see if the limit on the injections alone fixes it. The good part (??) is that I can leave the sim open and it'll just CTD

Edit: Hmm, I'm not seeing all of the repaints show up in the configuration tool

I notice there are some things unclear about the (business) logic of AI2ATC.
I thought this was covered in the manual, but apparently not clear enough.

Search/collecting repaints for an aircraft type (B735, A321, B744, etc) can be disabled in 3 ways:

1. In dhq.ai2utl.search-codes.json set the AICode: "" for the aircraft you would like to exclude.
   AI2ATC skips that aircraft, simply because it can't translate the UTL IATA code to an ICAO code.
2. In dhq.ai2utl.search-codes.json set the "SearchIn": "" for the aircraft you would like to exclude
   If it is blank, AI2ATC will skipp it.
3. In dhq.ai2utl.search-codes.json alternatively remove a whole section. Do not remove parts (like only AiCode)

Be advised: AI2UTL will skip the excluded aircraft type for all carriers/operators.

This implies that UTL most likely stores it's repaints information not only in repaints.xml but apparently also in another file/database?
If that is the case (and I don't know) AI2UTL pretty much is useless.

AI2UTL isn't useless!

In case of using FLAi aircraft only, you need to insert the FLAi aircraft path in the "simobjects.cfg" to see the assigned FLAi repaints in the UTL interface.

If it is not important for you to see the assigned repaints in the UTL interface, you do not need to edit the "simobjects.cfg", because the FLAi-installer uses the "addon.cfg" method to inject the aircraft in P3Dv4.

I had a CTD as well. SimConnect log shows a model (A320 IAE) was injected. Said model hat no separation lines before the [fltsim] entries in the aircraft.cfg. Not sure if that is relevant in this situation.

This is what I did when edited the mentioned codes.json file, not any parts but the complete section. It works.

My current repaints.xml file is working well in the sim. I'll continue testing with this file for now (it was created using v1.0.0.4).

That would apply only in case you used the installer. I chose to install the FLAi package manually, to avoid "confusion" inside P3D with the already existing UTLive. So far, I'm seeing Ok all the injected repaints inside the sim.

Hey guys.

 

I got this up and running and the new repaints show up in the sim but I keep getting a CTD "UCRTBase.dll" any ideas what I should look for?  Only using FLAI packThanks.

 

 

______EDIT______

 

I think I got this sorted by fixing the aircraft.cfgs in the error log

Oh brother, this is in NO way useless. The thing that can mess people up the most (I think) is if they have actually installed FLAI. All I did was download FLAI , unzip it and point your program to the FLAI paints folder. Works perfect.
