OnCourse Software

Hello,
I downloaded the dem version some days ago, installation went without problems.
Also loading an MSFS flight plan seems OK. But when I press the "Connect to FS" button, an error message window pops up telling me that PF3 is unable to connect.
I tried the hint of running PF3_Register as Admin several times, without success.
Logs are attached, the zip also contains a screenshot of the popup window with the error code.
Could you please help?
Kind regards,
Kurt

It appears you have some system DirectX files missing so would suggest the following:

Download the Microsoft DirectX for Managed Code Runtimes, using the following link:-

http://www.ocs-support.co.uk/downloads/ ... ntimes.zip

Once downloaded you need to unzip the content into a temporary folder anywhere on your system, then run the downloaded EXE. You will be prompted for a location to copy the extracted files into, so just choose the same temp folder.

Once that's done go into the temp folder and right-click the 'DXSetup.exe' program and then select 'Run as Administrator'

This will NOT alter any of your currently installed DirectX files but merely installs any missing runtimes in parallel.

Once the DirectX Runtimes are installed please try running PF3 again and connecting to FS and let me know what happens. You can also delete the downloaded runtimes and temp folder if you wish

Hi Dave,
thank you very much for the quick reply!
I did as suggested, and the PF3/MSFS connection works now.
I quickly tried to initiate a test flight, and ran into other problems with the message window.
But I guess I need to read more chapters of the user guide now, and this will take some time.
So the initial problem reported here is solved, thanks again!
Cheers, Kurt

Thank you for letting us know
