No mapping for the Unicode character exists (MSFS 2024)

Featured Replies

Hi,I'm getting this error when I load PSXT with MSFS 2024:

lf_startUpPSXT: No mapping for the Unicode character exists in the target multi-byte code page.

Note that I don't get this error when I load with MSFS 2020, and the FSLTL files are exactly the same (i.e., there is a symbolic link to the 2020 FSLTL files).

Here is the log, with both MSFS and MSFS 2024 being tried:

Are you sure the FSLTL models/liveries from MSFS 2020 are compatible with MSFS 2024?

However, the error mesage is still strange. It is not a PSXT error message, must be in one of the external libraries used.

Sofar I'm only using the updated AIG set for 2024...

Thanks very much for getting back to me. 

If this was the case (an external library), then wouldn't it fail for the MSFS 2020 read as well (the log has a successful 2020 read followed by a failed 2024 read).

Maybe this page sheds some light ( a locale issue?) :

How to fix "No mapping for the Unicode character exists in the target multi-byte code page. [ERROR_NO_UNICODE_TRANSLATION (0x459)]" - Error Code 1113

I'm also interested in this problem in your Log:  ===> downloading AIG-regcodes failed? 

Could you try with the new version 10.7.3.  It will give an error code, so I can see what is wrong.

I am getting the error on msfs 2020. I will see if I do not need nicos nice software and if that does not work cancel my subscription. I found the link unhelpful. . I do appreciate someone posting it though.

What is your full errro message, it will be something like this:

"C:\Users\bryn\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community\fsltl-traffic-base"
Error lf_startUpPSXT: No mapping for the Unicode character exists in the target multi-byte code page.

Please post it.
