| Yes a screenshot of the message would be good. If you're having problems attaching a screenshot just ZIP it and then attached it. |

| Please 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 There is a possible issue for those using non UK English Windows Regional Settings which can cause (a) PF3 to supposedly crash and/or (b) being unable to load a flight plan, resulting in an invalid string error in the FPP log. Required change: Open 'Windows Settings' Select 'Time & Language' Select 'Language' in the left column Select 'Administrative language settings' from the right-hand column From the popup display (under 'Language for non-Unicode programs') select 'Change System Locale' Unselect 'Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support' if selected Then select 'English UK' for the 'Current System Locale' Select 'OK' to confirm then exit Windows settings. You 'may' have to restart Windows at this stage. Please retry PF3 and let us know how you get on |
