OnCourse Software

Been getting a few of therse lately. Reinstalled PF3 which seem to resolve the problem, but its back again and I would prefer to find an easier solution.

Attached is some logs which may help.

Tired also a flight plan which worked perfectly yesterday but now gives me the same error message.

Thank you for any help you can give me

Hi,
Can you attach the debug_monitor log file as these files tell us nothing.
If it worked recently have you updated something on your system,i have just reinstalled Windows 11 onto my laptop...basically a clean install and all works well as i have just tried with FS2004 and a newly created flightplan.

Please recreate the problem then send me all the files from your PF3\Flight\FPP folder

My guess is you may have changed something in your Windows Regional settings

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

Thank you Dave for your help.

However, I have been trying to recreate the issue since to no avail!

The setting changes you suggested were not needed as they were as you suggested without alteration.

This will I think remain a mystery as I hadn't made any changes to software at all.

Thanks again

Rob

No problem. Let us know if it happens again and include the files I requested above

Hello,

I have the same issue, I already tried to change language settings as the post above, but it doesn't change...


Thanks in advance

Please recreate the problem then send me all the files from your PF3\Flight\FPP folder

In future please create a new post for any issues rather than tagging onto the end of another (resolved) post

Good afternoon,

here the files requested.

Very strange... there are now error logs in there

Does this problem happen with ALL flight plans?
