Hello,

I recently installed FSD3.0 on my Win 11 PC. I want to create a new aircraft for FS2004, which works fine on the machine.

Unfortunately FSDS 3.0 doesn't work as I was used to work with it on Win 7 & 8 computers.

Every time I've created even the smallest part and want to create a new object file, the program gives the error: Failed To Create Log File

Normally, FSDS would create that specific log file by itself, but no it doesn't anything at all.

How am I supposed to go on? Is it due to Win 11 and DFSDS is already too old?

Maybe somone could help to find the answer.

Thanks,

Andy

 

I'd suspect you've got FSDS installed in the default C:\Program Files (x86) sub-directory, which is "protected" under newer versions of WIndows, so when an "incompatible" program tries to write something there it fails.

Try creating a fresh sub-directory, C:\FS Utilities\ or similar, and install there and see if it works.

I install all my older Flight Sim utilities, (and a lot of other older stuff), on a completely separate drive, and experience few, if any, compatibility issues.

Good luck :)

Hello Chris.

Thank you very much for your detailed advice.

All works perfectly now!!

I've created a new directory and moved all stuff (Fs2004, FSDS, Panel Studio etc..) to the new place.

I didn't even had nothing to re-install, the move to the new folder & a restart was already sufficient.

I'm getting again a correct log file, as I was used to get on my old (broken) PC. 

Now I can get back to the aircraft models that I have neglected for so long.

I knew the programs already from my old Windows 7 & 8 machines and worked with them for many years, but I had to stop creating

airplanes a long time ago due to illness. 

Fortunately, you came across my request and gave me this simple but in any case very helpful advice.

So, this means a real double new beginning for me!!

I want to thank you again.
