Flightbeam's San Francisco 2.0 screw up!

[Denzel]

Please, try to follow my steps, first replace the first .pye file I've posted above.

That comes from hawaii2, I'm trying to backtrace until we get the same situation as the Hawaii2 in offline mode. It's not the only file that will be changed, but I need you to do it a step at time, otherwise we'll never find which one was.

Finally i tried the mujos tips before go to sleep (cuz it's 2:37 AM in PARIS), and i confirm it works for me too
It works with latest coualt version, so it's sure coualt.exe is not responsable
I don't know why but There is something wrong in coualt folder after SFO online installation

At least i can fly my FSDT airport until the final solution

Best regards
(BIGUP for musjo)

Thanks for that!
Glad that solution is working...

Umberto:
Have tried the two files, you've posted...
None of them makes a difference.

Have tried the two files, you've posted... None of them makes a difference.

I said we had to do it one file at time, we are almost there...

Now replace this one, in the Hawaii2 folder

[Anders Bermann]

have tried all 3 files - one at a time... no difference so far

[virtuali]

We are still not done yet, now replace the following files, all in the couatl\common folder

[Anders Bermann]

Done... no difference yet, unfortunately!
(tried them one at a time to be sure)

Last two steps: now remove the KSFO folder from the couatl folder and try if at least other sceneries work

[Anders Bermann]

Tried removing ksfo folder - no difference ...

[virtuali]

Last step, and this will complete the restore to everything as it was installed by Hawaii 2 offline, replace the following file in the FSX root folder

[virtuali]

i have uploaded 2 complete coatl folder situations for you to investigate (one "non working", as was after KSFOv2 and a second "working" one after doing the workaround which works for me, too)

Creating two separate folders (which, btw, there's no "non-working" for me, they all work) one after installing Hawaii2 and another one after installing the latest Addon Manager, is exactly what I've been doing in my last messages, trying to backtrace every file which is different, after having run a file comparison utility on the whole folder + subfolders.

The Hawaii installer it's only one so, if your workaround was to install it offline, we are comparing the same set of files already.

GOOD NEWS!!!
It's working now!

The .dat file in the FSX root, did the 'trick'!
KSFO is working now!
All other sceneries are working as they should too!

Moved the KSFO folder back in there, and it's still working...

Ok but, we weren't really trying to make it work at this point, I was trying to get the whole Couatl working normally.

So, you said it always didn't work (Couatl not showing its menu), while you were adding files one by one, and it started to work only now ?

OR

You were only checking KSFO ?

Moved the KSFO folder back in there, and it's still working...

If you use the .dat I've posted here, it's best if you leave it out for the time being.

Can now confirm, that the bglmanx_fbeam.dat file is corrupt or something...

Have tried deleting the working (trouble-shooting) folder, and ran the setup for Addon Manager, which also downloaded the files online...

After which, the problem reverted, and no buildings showed up! After then replacing bglmanx_fbeam.dat file from Umberto's post, and overwriting it in FSX root, everything was working correctly again!

Thanks for all the help, and support, Umberto!

Please, clarify, it might be important: you mean "no buildings" at *every* other FSDT scenery (so, no Couatl menu as well) or just at KSFO ?

[Anders Bermann]

Sorry for not being clear... (it's late here in small Denmark... )

Nothing was working... no FSDT or FlightBeam scenery was working (no buildings) and no 'Couatl Powered Products' in Addon Menu!

But after replacing the bglmanx_fbeam.dat file in FSX root, everything worked correctly!
Couatl Powered Products in Addon Manager AND all buildings in ALL FSDreamTeam and FlightBeam sceneries showed up correctly!

Hope that answered your question...
