I have no idea but I have add the "input string" to the exception message. Please redownload and install AILG 8.0

Hello Nico,

thanks for the change in ailgenerator  v8.0.
so i could narrow down the error.
The stupid bug I have probably been carrying around for quite some time and I didn't notice it.
it was a "`" in the name of the aircraft directory!
after i corrected it i got a lot of error messages from the ai aircraft i installed lately. so, i corrected them all and everything works again without any error messages !
thanks again for the help

greetings Pete
