started doing this again, been several days pilot2atc won't open

I get this wierd error

 

Application Error

A Fatal error occurred:

'-500' is not a valid value for property width.

 

any ideas what this is ??  I have the current update

It's a problem with the screen width saved from a previous shutdown.

You can delete or rename the AppSettings.xml file so all your settings are wiped out and the program should open.  Or, if you feel comfortable editing an XML file, you can open the file and search for "-500" and delete that specific <AppSetting> entry.

P2A Log files are located in:

C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\P2A_300\Logs

where <UserName> is your PC user name.

Portions of the path may be hidden by default, so be sure Windows Explorer has Show Hidden Items checked in the View tab.

In the meantime, I'll look into it to try and fix it so it won't happen again in the next update.

I just installed Pilot2ATC version 3.0.0.0 to my w10 and started trial. An error occurs:

A fatal error occured:
Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

< OK > is the only button there.

It leads to new dialog: Close Pilot2ATC Program?

< YES >< NO >

No matter which button I press, the program closes.

Any ideas?

That error is almost always because the English-US Language or Speech engine is not installed correctly.

See the Quick Start Guide in the Documentation folder for how to do that, along with several other things that will need to be done, depending on what SIM you are using.
