Ice’s Falcon BMS Profile Updated for BMS 4.37
-
<p>@gbracer08 <br /><br />Can you send me a copy of the original Briefing.txt normally found here:<br /><br />C:\Falcon BMS 4.35\User\Briefings\Briefing.txt<br /><br />And also a copy of the PathNames.ini file from the C:\Bin folder.<br /><br /></p>

<p>@Todd1215 Thanks for the info Todd. <img src=“/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f44d.png?v=1g16vn91q2r” alt=“” class=“not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji–+1” /> I did turn off the pre-flight check and Helios works fine. Which brings me to wonder, why include the callsign to begin with?? <img src=“/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f914.png?v=1g16vn91q2r” alt=“” class=“not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji–thinking_face” /> </p>

<p>@gbracer08 <br /><br />Even stranger, nothing wrong with either of those, The DataAutoUpdateTest creates these in the bin folder:<br /><img class=“ql-image” src=“https://i.imgur.com/QxPEXIR.png” /><img class=“ql-image” src=“https://i.imgur.com/AZIBI8o.png” /><br /></p>

<p>Maybe the problem again with dot comma semicolon in the system settings of windows? I have disabled this function in the profile long time ago…</p>
-
<p>@Cop23rd <br />That’s possible but I thought I’d fixed that.</p>
-
<p>@Cop23rd How do I turn that off<br /></p>

Normally found here C:\Falcon BMS 4.35\User\Config</p>
-
<p>@gbracer08 <br /><br />Are you on a system that uses commas for decimal points?<br /></p>
-
<p>@linknet no USA based.</p>

-
<p>@gbracer08 <br /><br />Then just send me a copy of callsign.ini and I’ll check that out.<br />No need to make any system changes.</p>
-
<p>@gbracer08 <br /><br />No problem with that either, I dropped the briefing.txt and Fish.ini onto my system and I get Auto-Left and Right fully populated in the bin folder using the DataAutoUpdateTest.</p>
-
<p>@linknet <br />hmmm…only thing left is my falcon is on the d: drive<br /><br /></p>
-
<p>@gbracer08 I saw that but it shouldn’t be a problem, the path was found ok and written to the PathNames.ini and it must be locating the Briefing.txt on D:\ to be able to convert it and write it to the C:\Bin folder. <br /></p>
-
<p>@linknet I gave the exe admin rights, UAC is off. Not sure what else to try that would stop something from accessing.<br /><br />Im not sure why the exe isn’t reading the briefing file in c:\bin\briefing</p>
-
<p>@JollyFE It’s sole purpose is to write into the callsign’s .pop file the key file to use upon starting BMS. If we didn’t know the callsign of the current BMS user then we wouldn’t be able to update the file and you’d have to manually load they file you want to use. This only becomes useful if you fly other aircraft like the hornet. Having the key file defined in the profile allows this flexibility. </p>

<p>@gbracer08 <br /><br />Shouldn’t need admin rights, try right clicking it and select Properties and make sure Windows isn’t blocking it.<br /><br />I’m totally out of options, the DataAutoUpdate.exe is written using AutoIt and compiled into an exe. As a last resort you could try downloading and installing AutoIt just in case your system may have some dll or other missing which would normally be installed by AutoIt, but this is clutching at straws.<br /><br />Are you on 64 bit Windows 10 ?<br /></p>
-
<p>@linknet <br /><br />Installed autolt so far that didn’t work but want to reboot.<br /><br />I am on 64bit Windows 10<br /><br />I am rebooting now. I could try running the uncompiled script from autolt and seeing if it works or if I can read any logs.</p>
