London Melbourne 2014: Help Thread

Duenna application will not work.

Answer to robert41: Yes.

Answer to PRB: I had already checked this as a possible solution prior to making my post, but it didn't resolve the issue. When I ran regsver32 on the file a message indicating that the registration of the file was successful popped up; but when I tried to launch Duenna the message from my previous post re-appeared.
 
Found this on a help forum. Maybe worth a try? (Hate to make things worse though).

"There's an old little program that may help with problems registering msinet.ocx on Vista. Search for vb6cli.exe and when found and downloaded to your computer right click on the file to execute it with administrator rights and after unpacking and running you have a good chance your problem has disappeared."
 
Duenna application will not work.

Thanks for the suggestion Moses03 but it will not help. The application VB6cli.exe is a self-extracting application that contains some files for VB6 developers. You must have VB6 on the computer for the extracted executable file to work. I do not have VB6 ergo this will not solve my problem. But thanks for trying. I appreciate it.

As much as I would have liked to, it looks like I won't be running in this race. Miserable-Soft's Vista operating system has always been a pain in the you know where but I cannot justify the expense to upgrade both the operating system and the hardware to simply play a game. I've been keeping my ol' jalopy running for almost eight years now and there are a lot of things I don't get to do simply because of the operating system's limitations or the hardware's limitations (old 2.2 GHZ pentium).
Oh well, I still have fun traipsing solo around the virtual skies of my virtual world.
 
Paul, I installed your Nav PAnel, and it turned my rotating props into black disks. Is the Nav Panel for FS9 (FS2004) only?

That's interesting. They are gauges that work in both FS9 and FSX. I don't have that particular configuration installed in my FSX planes at present, but something similar. Will try to duplicate when I get home. Has to be one of the gauges, and they are not all needed. Will advise...
 
Installed the Nav Panel into the FSX DC-2 with no ill effects. Installed into a couple other FSX planes just to make sure. Could not duplicate. If you take the panel out do the correct prop disk textures return?
 
Problem solved, cause unknown

Well I got it solved.

I started with this:

Then I tried selecting the different panel folders with no success and thought I found the solution after selecting the klm texture instead of the klmo, is there a file in there that affects the props?? Don't think so, but okay:

But...... while panning to the rear view...:

Darned, I smiled too early.

Since I had a backup of the compete Douglas DC-2 X (as always :adoration: ) I decided to start all over.

And now...EURECA!

It's finally working. What cause the problem, I do not know. Butr as always, having a backup of whatever you are working on proved very valuable.
Paul, I can not explain what caused the black prop discs, but now that it's working, I like the panel for events like this.

Rgr good news. It's hard to imagine a gauge in a local panel folder causing such a problem, but FSX always manages to surprise... Glad it's working ok now.
 
Having a spot of trouble with the Duenna and AS2012

I took a test flight this evening to shake off the cobwebs and couldn't get a "green" status for Wx on the Duenna. Everything else appears green, but Wx is yellow (prior to baton pick-up/flight start). All the appropriate realism settings in both FSX and AS2012 appear to be checked. The text log on landing shows weather as '4' (Not Good). Everything else looks fine. Anyone else encounter something like this?

I may just go with AS textures and use the default weather if it's too much trouble to fix. That's what we do with the RTWR, so I never bothered to check on AS2012 compatibility with the Duenna before.
 
Craig,

By using a external weather source (be it any) the initial duenna will catch "User defined WX" =4 which is what any external WX source needs to set in FS in order to inject their own WX. According to the rules this is OK using an external WX.

In hindsight, i am thinking about switching myself.. Going from FSrealWX Pro to the internal Jeppesen 15 minute update. It looks soooo good when everything is green on a "baton drop". :applause:. Just seems right. In my case I would like to get on Ms. Nellie's good side again. Got on her wrong side during the "Cape 2 Cape". 1st would like to get on the good side again but better, 2. Do not want to enter her office again.

Roman,

Having consulted the '119 Picadilly' thread and the Rules v1.00, I feel comfortable using AS2012. I declared it and I'm sticking with it (and since I paid for it, I want to use it! :jump: ) Thanks for the clarification. Good luck in the race! :wavey:

Craig
 
Okay I just added the SOH TeamSpeak bookmark to the client, and was able to join. Am I missing something, or is there ne dedicated room for this event? If not, then where do I go from the main room?

Got the Duenna set up, and test went well.

Ready for Take-Off tomorrow.
 
Once someone sees you they will give you permissions (if necessary) to join the other room. Wherever you see the most people right click and try to move to that room. Do not know perse but it "could" be the "Liars Lounge".
 
Weather not happy

Hi - I'm a noobie at this event and Duenna. Duenna is yellow for the weather - I'm using the default FSX 15 minute update. The strange thing is that when I hover over the yellow weather, it tells me I'm using 15 minute update, turbulence, and winds aloft - just as it should be. Should I bother with a flight? I do have to also say, that this is my first use of FSX under Win7 - I've been running on XP for 6 years and just built a new machine.
 
A rookie mistake!!:banghead:

This afternoon I set out to Paris for some french bread and wine, and realized an hour in to the flight that, not only did my post for start of the race not go through, but also the Duenna was not recording the flight because I forgot to press the baton button.. Cause for the post not showing on the website was my internet being down, and I didn't realize it.

I decided to continue the flight as a test flight, as I didn't have the time left to get all the way to Marseille. It surely was a good test, arrived after 1:45 hrs with no crashes or damages. And The slightly longer ate was due to my poor navigation and the gyro compass not working.
At least the french bread and wine is tasting great, lol/
 
Duenna Issue

From the entry thread - Any ideas appreciated.

"Ok all installed as per the advice and readme. When I start to run Duenna it comes up with a message that it cannot use or the file:

MSInet.ocx is invalid or cannot be accessed.

I have checked the permissions, directory structure and I have all versions of MS Net available and installed. I also have the lastest copy of FSUIPC installed as well and reinstalled the program severla times but get the same outcome.

Oh yes and this should have gone into the help thread sorry!."
