Well, I installed VFR Germany and ran the rebuild airport database from within the administrator. All of a sudden, FSCaüptain had only 3400 airports instead of 27000 like before.
A complete reinstall of FSCaptain brought the same result. While it was able to update the airports from Austria Professional X before the installation of VFR Germany, it is now completely unuseable for me.
Sorry. I have deinstalled FSCaptain until this is sorted out. BTW, During dinstall, I tried to remove the gauges from the planes (as told in the manual) - it doesn't deinstall quite some from the Carenados. Had to do it by hand.

Darem,
That's interesting... I actually got more airports processed than before if I recall correctly.
Try running it as administrator and see if it reads more. If it does then you most likely have rights issue.

No, it's not a permission issue. Tried it with a new install, 3644 airports built. It must have something to do with VFR Germany. Before that, it worked perfectly, even found addon airports it missed before 1.10.
It's a shame that it doesn't work as advertised. I really liked the program and I would love to use it again...

I really want to solve this, it's frustrating though because without being able to reproduce the problem it's quite difficult. I was hoping the restructuring of the rebuild would solve it - but no.
Apparantly it did solve some issues with missing airports (as it should, the old version was much more restrictive in what it considered an airport).
So now the issue appears to be with vfr Germany. But I won't give up on this.

Aerosofts VFR Germany installs the airports in (fsx directory)\aerosoft\AFD\scenery. There are app. 1200 files there. They are named BR_EDVK.bgl (BR2_icao.bgl).
VFR Germany (the scenery itself) resides in (fsx directory)\aerosoft\VFR Germany x(1-4)\scenery.
Maybe this helps.
If you want me to betatest updates, I am more than willing, Dutch.

Can't see any obvious reason why it shouldn't find them, it scans every single file in the FSX dir tree to see if it matches the pattern of an FSX airport.
I will email you and we'll hammer this out.

Hello all together. It´s the same by me. But I haven´t installed VFR Germany. So there must be another thing.
My Airport List is about only 2107
Hope you can help.
Greetings Oliver

Same problem, only 1520 airports. I have noticed it building a schedule, would not accept EBBR (Aerosoft megaairport Brussels).

I'm working on it. Any chance you could send me the bgl file that contains EBBR? I'll delete it after I test, not interested in the airport, just need to reproduce this error.
If you could send to dutch@fscaptain.net.
Thanks
Dutch

I'm sorry to say that after installing a few addon airports, the FSCaptain db now only contains 1515 airports.
That has basically rendered FSCaptain useless for me, and I haven't used it in weeks... Hopefully this issue will be resolved, and I know you're working on this, but I thought I'd report the same issue.
Let me know if there's any info I can provide to help out.

If you could send to dutch@fscaptain.net. Thanks Dutch Where do i look for that file? The airport´s scenery folder contains 192 bgl files, i have no idea wich one would you need. Maybe i´m looking in the wrong place too... |

I'm sorry to say that after installing a few addon airports, the FSCaptain db now only contains 1515 airports. -T I downloaded and tried a demo flight. I ran the Update Airport Database routine and, like the others, ended up with most of the default airports missing. I used fs9 on a XP operating system. AS much as I enjoyed the program, I'm not going to purchase it until the bugs are fixed. I had enough of bug in FSX to make me very leary of purchasing anything that has just been released...especially when there are known issues. I would love to have this addon, so I will be monitoring its progress. Best wishes for your success!  Bob S |
