Help getting started please

[ironmike]

First off, thank you for taking on this task.  The potential is massive.

Let me recount what I did.  I installed 9.13 fresh.  Created ERA and a Team "Palmetto" in which I set up a Red team (KCHS-F18) and a Blue Team (KPOB and KXNO-M23 in Config_STD/Team_Palmetto folder.  Created F-18E in vehicles.cfg and created Mig-23 in vehicles.cfg in Config_STD folder.  Closed FSCAI.

Started P3D v4.5.  Selected KCHS with VRS F-18E.  Fired up FSCAI.  Opening screen was normal except there was no Palmetto ERA or RED/BLUE Team available.  Created a wingman using "F".  F-18E created at an airport about 11 nm away (KJZI).  Opened new view to wingman.  It never moved.

I took off to go to the wingman and see if I could get it to join up.  At wheels up, the aircraft began to shutter.  Smoke began coming from the engines.  I checked six for adversary.  There was no one back there (Labels on).  Throttles unresponsive.  Crashed into the ground.  Obviously shot down.

Restarted my computer.  Re-setup as above.  Same result.

FSCAI Log included below.  What did I do wrong?

Hi ironmike,

First off, you shouldn't edit STD folder. You only edit USER folder that has a priority upon STD.
That explains everything from your log.

Copy/paste Era, Team files that you manipulated as also vehicles, from your STD to USER folder & everything should work.

BTW, I've made a tutorial video that you may check. See at relative post.

[hajolippke]

The USER folder has priority over STD? That may explain my troubles I still have....


HAJO

[Dutch Owen]

Yes, the reason to have the two folders is so that updated default files will be replaced in Config_STD each time you install but you can have your own private copies in Config_USER so they will be safe from being clobbered every time you install an update.

Therefore, if any files are in Config_USER they override (or add to in the case of Vehicles or Weapons) the ones in Config_STD.

That doesn't explain ironmike's problem though...nor is it obvious from the log. His wingman immediately turned traitor and shot him. Wingmen should always be created on the same team as the user.

Dutch

[ironmike]

No, the wingman stayed at KJZI. It was not my wingman that shot me down. Why did it not spawn at KCHS where I was?

Something else shot me down. Could FACAI have latched onto a VRS F-18 surrogate because there was nothing behind me but an invisible surrogate at 0.1 nm?

I will retry with change to Config_USER vice Config.STD this evening when I have some time.

[Dutch Owen]

I see the problem now. 'Aircraft 2' is actually you. Objet ID #2 is the user aircraft in P3D. You shot yourself down! This is an old bug with P3D that doesn't show up in FSX which is what I primarily test in. I thought it had been long fixed.

I'll track that down tonight.

[Dutch Owen]

Mike,

Here is a link to a version that should correct this problem. Please install and try it and let me know.

FSCAI ALPHA version 0.9.14 for 64-bit Sims (Prepar3D Version 4)

If you verify it's fixed I will post for everyone.

Dutch

[ironmike]

Thanks in advance for your help.

Installed 9.14. Modified Config_USER not Config_STD this time. Created Palmetto ERA and Team in Config USER. Added F-18E and Mig-23 to vehicle.cfg in Config_USER.

Fired up P3D v 4.5. Selected KCHS and F-18. Fired up FSCAI. There was no Palmetto ERA available. There was no RED or BLUE team available. It self selected Default ERA and NATO team.

Same problems: wingman spawned at KJZI not KCHS where I was. Got shot down by phantom seconds after lift off. Switched to F-16. Did not get shot down. Had severe control issues with aircraft. It was unflyable.

Config_USER/ERA.cfg:

ERA=Default,Teams_Default
ERA=Libya_2011,Teams_Libya
ERA=Southeast_Asia,Teams_Vietnam
ERA=World_War_II,Teams_WWII
ERA=Palmetto, Teams_Palmetto

Config_USER/Teams_Palmetto:

[Blue]
Airfield=KCHS
Aircraft=F18E
[RED]
Airfield=KPOB
Airfield=KXNO
Aircraft=MG23

Log: Note1- Reference to FSX REgistry key. Note2- "Processing dll.xml: C:\Users\Michael\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\dll.xml". Could this be part of the problem"? I have FSX-SE on this computer, but I am flying P3D v4.

Addendum to previous entry:

The GUI message "Contacting the 'FSCAI' DLL in FSX" never goes away. Also after several minutes a popup "FSCAI LINK ERROR" "Could not establish a link to the DLL module in the simulator..." These have been consistent throughout all versions.

[xpel]

Try to go at C:\Users\Michael\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\P3D\dll.xml 

where I suppose P3Dv4 dll.xml is found, and add manually the entry over there :

<Launch.Addon>
<Name>FSCAID</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
<Path>FSCAI\bin\FSCAID.dll</Path>
</Launch.Addon>

Also, if this is correct (from copy/paste) :

ERA=Default,Teams_Default
ERA=Libya_2011,Teams_Libya
ERA=Southeast_Asia,Teams_Vietnam
ERA=World_War_II,Teams_WWII
ERA=Palmetto, Teams_Palmetto

There is a space here : Palmetto," "Team... that shouldn't be. Typing is critical.
Prefere to change vehicles & weapons database via FSCAI UI, for avoiding typo mistakes when editing manually...

Check also that "FSCAI" folder exists in your main P3D folder (just in case... )

[ironmike]

1. Yes. C:\Users\Michael\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4 contains the dll.xml file. The applicable section looks like this:

</Launch.Addon>
<Launch.Addon>
<Name>FSCAI</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
<Path>C:\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\FSCAI\bin\FSCAI.dll</Path>
</Launch.Addon>

By the way, so does C:\Users\Michael\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX. The FSCAI section is identical. It is odd that it would have also written to here as I have never used FSCAI with FSX-SE.

2. Yes. I also caught (and corrected) the additional space in the "Palmetto,Team_Palmetto". You have a sharp eye!

3. Yes. The FSCAI folder is installed to C:\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4 where the Prepar3D.exe file resides. There is no FSCAI folder in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX where fsx.exe resides.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

[Dutch Owen]

The name is incorrect in the dll.xml file. I'm not sure why. Change any FSCAI.dll to FSCAID.dll and you should get rid of the "Can't Connect to the DLL" message.

Dutch

[ironmike]

Corrected dll.xml file to read FSCAID.dll.
Fired up FSCAI. ERA is default. Team NATO. Automatically selected. No Palmetto ERA option. No Teams_Palmetto option.
Sitting on the Nimitz at ISLLE intx 24 NM from KCHS. Ready for takeoff. Got shot down.
No other aircraft in this scenario. Just my single F-18E which got shot down by a phantom?

Mike,

Thanks for your patience. I see the problem and I think I have it fixed. It's not detecting Prepar3D version 4.5 because its not finding the registry entry for it.

This log statement reveals the issue:

P3D(0) detected in C:\LOCKHEED MARTIN\PREPAR3D V4\ via EXE.

It should say P3D(4)!

Try this download and see if that cures the problem of you being shot down by yourself:

FSCAI ALPHA version 0.9.15 for 64-bit Sims (Prepar3D Version 4)

(This also explains why it didn't install the DLL properly.)

Installed 9.15
I get no opening UI.
Task Manager says it is the 32 bit version.
