OnCourse Software

Hi
i have just updated to the latest patch and now receiving a runtime error when trying to load a flight plan.
Please help.
screenshot and log attached.
Thank you.

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

Hi Dave.
Thank you for getting back to me. I hadn't changed any settings regarding language it developed an error after the last update. While I was awaiting your response I found a post on the forum with the same issue. It was running the pf3 register in the main pf3 folder. This I did and it cured the flight plan issue however when connecting to the simulater I recieved a pop up asking me to run the pf3 register. So I did this again restarted pfe, loaded a flight plan, went to connect and recieved a message about too many hot keys! And restart the simulator. This I did and all seems well at present. Would all these steps make sence? Never had trouble before after updates?
Cheers

Did you via the auto updates or by downloading the cumulative updates package. If the later you should have run the installer as Administrator... if the former... very strange

Hi Dave
When running pf3 it informed me that an update was available. So updated through the software as I have on previous occasions?
Cheers
