PPG_MSFS 2.2 no airport files from Official Folder

[Michael123 0]

Hello,

first of all PPG_MSFS shows that I have old version 2.1, but I installed the newest 2.2 several times.

And the main problem I have at the moment is, that the offical folder path (....\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Official) is not found anymore regarding the logfile. Community Folder is working correctly.

Is that a known problem? I checked the folder several time.

Thank you and Regards,

Michael

Hi,

No I'm not aware of this problem, it works fine over here.

Try this: delete parameters.xml (from appdata\roaming\PPG_MSFS) and install 3.0 afterwards.

Tried your suggestion and installed the Version 3.0. But the same thing. Community Folder works fine, but Offical folder I get the following error:

Try to run PPG_MSFS in administrator mode, if you have not done that already...

Yes I tried, but also didn' t work in admin mode. At the moment I have not idea. Maybe it solves in future.

Thank you

It is mysterious indeed. 

Just a remark. I would not have chosen "Michael-PC-i9-9900k" as user name because in the old days programs sometimes had difficulties in processing strings with dashes. These days it should not be a problem but you never know.

I would go for just "Michael"

I managed now that PPG_MSFS gets access by creating a symbolic link directly on the MSFS official folder.

Nevertheless for most of the airports no airport file is created.

Only LVFR Miami is working. All other airports have the file bgl.fsarchive. Does it mean this airports (Justsim EDDS, LVFR Barcelona, Flytampa Copenhagen) use the default bgl of MSFS? Or did they update the bgl directly in the fsarchive?

Thank you

Michael

That means the file is digitally encrypted (DRM). No acces for third parties... New Microsoft policy... ;-[
