  • Special Server Maintenance

    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

AICarriers Aggravation

But since you say 'original FSX on XP': note that AiCarriers requires at least FSX-SP2.

When I said "original" I meant my original boxed Gold Edition install with SP1, SP2, and Acceleration so I'm OK there. :mixed-smiley-010:
Today I'm moving AICarriers.NET from Program Files to by itself on my C:\ drive and we'll see if I can get it working from there.
I may also try your arrangement of dual installation with both Java and NET versions.
 
Well, I finally found the problem! :very_drunk: After all the troubleshooting, moving folders, and uninstall/reinstall of Java and Microsoft.NET 4, it turned out that my Avast Free antivirus program was blocking AICarriers.NET from connecting to FSX manually or at start-up via the exe.xml file. That has never happened before. I uninstalled Avast and went back to AVG and now AICarriers is working as it should. My only problem now is I accidentally deleted my good aicarriers.cfg file when I first encountered the problem last week but it's just a housekeeping task to rebuild it. Many thanks to Frank, Cees, Rob, and Seahawk72s for your assistance and suggestions. :encouragement:

Good to hear you got it sorted. Anti-virus can be a real pain but are a necessary evil these days.

Good find ...
Not the first time an AntiVirus program causes problems, but this one was new to me.

Cheers, Rob

It was a new one to me as well. And earlier in my troubleshooting I had entered an "exception" in Avast specifically for AICarriers. Either I did it wrong or Avast ignored it for some reason, I don't know which. Anyway I'm back in the Tailhook Navy! And thanks again.
