    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.

Whisplacer Help Needed

So, after installing the legacy simconnect.msi(s) in to FSX: Steam Edition, Whisplacer will still not connect with FSX Steam when I hit the connect button. It says "Cannot find the simconnect port (is FS Running?)" Could it possibly something to do with my current version of JAVA not being right? Do I need to manualy set my connection port and host? If anyone has any other ideas for getting Whisplacer to connect, those would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you need any other information, I will be glad to provide it. I have been hoping to create scenery for FSX for a while, but I keep on running into problems.

Thank You,
Ryan
 
I don't have the faintest idea just what this Whisplacer is, but I found that to get some things to work right in FSX:SE I had to install all three legacy sinconnects that came with it. Started with the oldest, and installed them in order.
It worked for me. And of course, I can't recall WHY I had to do that, but something required it, and it worked for me...

Hey Ryan,

I just used Whisplacer for my first project. I didn't have simconnect issues, but it was a little buggy - I can see why folks eventually gravitate to IS. I had a few freezes, crashes etc.

But overall, it worked pretty darn good; heck of a nice project for someone to release free.

If you get it running and you're playing in Misty's world, let me know - I cobbled together an almost-complete thumbnails package for all the RTMM object libraries that works in Whisplacer. It might save you some time.
