• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Ok, we are developing a program called SquawkWin to work with our server that we are making. It works fine with FS8 and FS9 but on FSX there is a problem. When you install it on a fresh install of FSX it works fine, and then you can install whatever addons afterwards and it will still work fine. Now if you have FSCopilot and/or FSInn installed SquawkWin opens but it does not transmit the correct pilot info and location to our servers. Now if you delete FSCopilot and FSInn it also removes SquawkWin from the Addons bar and we cannot start it with the shortcut key. The dll.xml file is still in tact. Here is what our module is in the dll.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252" ?>

We have tried to trouble-shoot this problem for the last like week and we havn't been able to solve it. My msn is darko_sta@hotmail.com and my yahoo is darko886 so if you can either try to help me or if you have FSCopilot installed and would like to beta test our program please contact me because we cannot solve this no matter what we do. If we then install FSCopilot again after we have uninstalled it then SquawkWin shows up again but again it doesn't transmit the correct info.

PLEASE help me if you can

Thanks a lot!
Darko
 
hi Darko,
Just brainstorming; has it anything to do with FSX SP2?
I had 2 addons installed which needed a patch after SP2...
