London Melbourne 2014: Help Thread

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!."

Windows 7 and Vista are missing two .ocx files that Duenna needs to run.

Let me search my system for them....

Here you go they need to be placed in C:/windows/system32

There are three msinet.ocx, mscomctl.ocx, and mswinsck.ocx.

You need to register them in with an elevated command line window. See read me in the zip file.

I have 2 questions:

1 - Is it possible to take a short hop or fly a circuit around an airfield to test and make sure Duenna is working correctly - ie creating the log files? Would I encur a fueling/timing penalty? (I'd prefer to do this rather than fly another 2-6 hours and then find out it isn't working) I don't know if Duenna actually records anything other than the log.

2 - in the rules it is stated that ** airports do not require stopping - does that mean we have to overfly, land, or even go near them? In other words can we bypass them? If we have to overfly - how close do we have to get?

Thanks!

Sure, practice as necessary. The leg in the race is valid when you post a take-off and a landing in the forum. No penalty if it's not a valid leg. IE Just flying around without posting, checking Duenna.

No, No & No.. Bypass them completely if your plan dictates it.

I have tried this and running it under XP compatibility mode and re-starting the computer after install, etc. etc., and all to no avail. This application refuses to run on my desktop pc with Vista (Home ver. 32 bit). I install it in my laptop with the same operating system and it starts up just fine. One tiny problem though. I don't have FSUIPC nor FSX on the laptop. Why? Because FSX won't run on the laptop! Can you provide some other suggestions to get this thing to work on the desktop. Thanks.
 
Have you tried installing somewhere else other than "ProgramFiles" ? It's strange it works on the laptop w/o fsx but not on the desktop box.

Yes to that. Learned long, long, long ago not to install applications into the Programs directory if at all possible.
 
This isn't a request for help, but a note to any pilots who may have FTX Vector installed: Ensure that you turn off the traffic lights in said program! A desire not to crash any further in this race has me checking the runways via taxiing in the 1934 scenery; I'm glad i did, since at LGTT there's a few traffic lights introduced with very large crash boxes that have the potential to turn the end of a great flight into a miserable affair!
