    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.

Windows10 and Aicarriers .Net

Hi,

Is anyone using the .Net version of Aicarriers successfully on a Windows10 system with the CreatorsUpdate (== Windowsversion 1703) installed ???

Some background:
I have a new PC, with a fresh install on Windows10 (incl. the recent CreatorsUpdate).
On which I did a fresh install of FSX-Accel.
Much to my surprise I have my entire FSX working as I had it on my old Windows7 PC, in a few days.
Including the infamous "PartMgr" patch in the registry to register Accel.

Except: I can't get Aicarriers .Net to run.
I know this version requires .Net 4.* to be installed, but .Net V4.7 is included in the Creators Update. (you can't install older V4.* .Net versions then, like e.g. with the VisualStudio runtime distributebles).
But I can't start Aicarriers .Net in any way:
- Not directly from the Desktop (running it does nothing, no task or windows process is launched)
- Not auto-started from an EXE.xml (it doesn't popup in the Addon menu).
So it's NOT a problem with the EXE.xml !!

The only thing I can think of, is that AIcarriers .Net somehow doesn't work with .Net 4.7.
Someone has this combo working ?? (just curious) Or has other suggestions ?

In the mean time, I reverted back to the old Java version of Aicarriers; which works fine, both when started from the desktop (when FSX is running) or auto-started by FSX via the EXE.xml file.

Works fine for me, but I have to manually start it after I start P3Dv4. I put a shortcut on my task bar. I could not get it to auto start through the .config file.

Cheers,

It is working for me. I'm also using manual start.

I haven't focused much time on converting non working models yet, but the vanilla installation is at least a foundation.
 
Problem solved.

Apperantly .Net wasn't installed properly.
Via the Windows SW Configuration - Programs function (installed Windows component) .Net V4.7 wasn't activated; now it is.

And AIcarriers .Net works OK now:
- Auto-loaded by FSX via the EXE.xml
or
- Start via the desktop when FSX is allready running.

FYI:
What DOESN'T work:
When AIcarriers .Net is loaded via the EXE.file, you cannot spawn a second instance of AICarriers .Net via the desktop.
Seems a limitation of the AIcarriers .Net; I have the same limitation on my WIndows7 PC.
With AIcarriers JAVA this IS possible !!

So what I do now:
- Use AIcarriers .Net, auto-started via the EXE.xml
- When I need it, start a second (or even third) instance of AIcarriers Java via the desktop.
And that works perfect ....
