OnCourse Software

Hi,
I've got the Regional Setting issue,and I'm in trouble fixing it!!:(

In a nutshell:

I've got 4 PC running in my homecockpit.

The one that runs PFE,is a WideFs client PC,running OGS1.20(PFD),FSXpand Client,Ivap client and PFE.
Every time I start PFE my Regional Settings change,but in this way, all the others Clients go crazy!!
If,after PFE is started,i change the Regional Settings back,everythings seems to works,but when i select a radio freq,PFE didn't recognize the freq due to a different decimal separator(in Italy we have comma for decimals and dot for numbers groups).I've noticed that PFE don't change ALL regional settings(Ex:Italian to English),but change only the comma and dot positions(they're inverted)so i have dot for decimals and comma for NGroups,and this is a big problems for all the other PCs in my Network.I can't switch my Regional Settings to English,cause it will cause a mess in my system,and I don't want to reinstall all the other software,it's a looot of stuffs.

Please,I love PFE,but these is a big problem for me...some ideas?!
I tried to check PFE's .INI and .CFG files,but nothing come in help.
Everything is well installed and doublechecked ..

I hope you'll find the trick!!
Thx a lot.

Edit:

I'v also notice this:

PF2000 changes the regional settings when compiling an adventure,so the adventure is compiled
with the 'Dot&Comma' inverted.(This is a problem too!!)
If I maintain those regional settings(=inverted Dot&Comma),PFE recognize(obviously ;P) the Freqs. in the right way,but all the others Clients(Gauges,Fmc,etc)goes crazy!!
If I change the Dot&Comma positions,PFE still works fine,but with this freq issue:
-For Freq like 121,75..no problem!There's no Dot sorting the decimals,but PFE read it anyway.(Ex:PFE read 12175 inst.of 121.75 but still works fine.)
-For Freq like 121,70..no way!!PFE reads 1217 instead of 12170.The zero is overleap.

THX.

I will certainly look into this again as I have had a few users with regional setting problems. However, I would not think this will be a quick fix.

Yes,i know this is not easy at all...

I was just thinking 'bout a script to rescan the compiled adv files and change the commas in dots & back!!
In my case this could do the trick!!Infact if I invert only the comma and dots position in my regional settings,PFE works fine..

..I hope we find a solution..

If u needs any help,or betatesting,just ask!!

Hi Dave.

I've tried any workaround solutions but i cant figure it out!!

Sorry no, as I said it will not be a quick fix and I simply haven't had a chance to even revisit it yet.

KK,no problem..just asking!

I'm so sad flying offline without PFE running..
