TFDi 717 - Errors Connecting to Database

Featured Replies

Hi all:

Just heading to AVSIM to get help by people that had experienced connection to database errors when loading the TFDi B717. I had those errors before (in fact I've had trouble with this add-on since day one) and recently, after updating to its newest version I've got the same error again. The result is that no data can be displayed on the FMC and the aircraft cannot be properly flown.

I've tried to repair the MS Access engine (both for 32 and 64 bits, as it seems the navdata for this aircraft is on a .mdb format), tried to tick the "alternate connection method" inside the TFDi's Addon Manager, and so far no luck. I'm about to completely uninstall this plane and forget about it and not wasting more time. Needless to say that help on the TFDi forums is almost non-existent, even if the problem has been arisen before by other users (so I'm not the only one).

Had anyone experienced this strange issue and would be kind enough to give me the steps used to resolve it?.

Anticipated thanks, Alain
