gil84 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Hello for a few days now, the FTX global vector configuration tool has stopped working and displays an error message (reconstituted screenshot attached). [Why reconstituted? because I don't know where to find the error log file for this tool. so I took screenshots and assembled them to make a single image.] For the moment, I am unable to resolve any terrain altitude problems on the new Ads that I am installing. Thank you in advance for your feedback on this problem Best regards G BARTHELEMY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Hi Sorry, my old eyes are not able to read anything on your image. But please first confirm the below items. 1. Ensure your .net framework is updated with versions 2,3 and 4, using the tool found at the link. http://www.asoft.be/prod_netver.html 2. Ensure your UAC is turned off, and that you are running as administrator. 3. Check and\or disable your antivirus and be sure it is not being blocked. 4. Have a close look in your computers program list for any other antivirus programs that may have been installed without your knowledge. 5. Ensure your windows firewall is allowing the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gil84 Posted January 18, 2020 Author Share Posted January 18, 2020 hi Doug, Hi Nick following a complete internet outage for 4 days I could not take cognizance of your answer until this afternoon 1. Ensure your .net framework is updated with versions 2,3 and 4, using the tool found at the link. http://www.asoft.be/prod_netver.html ==> Ok Version 4.82. Ensure your UAC is turned off, and that you are running as administrator.==>Ok UAC Turn OFF3. Check and\or disable your antivirus and be sure it is not being blocked.==> Antivirus Ok4. Have a close look in your computers program list for any other antivirus programs that may have been installed without your knowledge. ==> ok nothing5. Ensure your windows firewall is allowing the app.==> application allowed thru the firewall Once all of these checks have been performed ftx GLOBAL VECTOR runs but never achieves a result. As if it was looping on a point without ever leaving it. I just launched the application, directly from its location, it is 3:23 p.m. French time. 3:38 p.m. ftx is still running without results. I stop it. I relaunch ftx global vector via orbx Central / Global / Vector / Configure. ftx resumes at 3:43 p.m. it is now 5:05 p.m. still no results. Do you have any idea why ftx can't configure? Waiting for your answerd Best regards G BARTHELEMY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Hello, have you installed your simulator directly to a drive, such as D:\ for example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gil84 Posted January 21, 2020 Author Share Posted January 21, 2020 Hi Yes my simulator is on C:/ Is this location a problem? Gilbert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 If there is no root folder, such as C:\P3D v4 or C:\FSX, then the Vector auto configuration will indeed never stop. You are left with either setting the AECs as you go along and saving them in a profile or removing the simulator and reinstalling it into a root folder. To cure a small problem such as this, a re-installation is probably not justifiable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gil84 Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 Hi Thank you for your answer but maybe I misspoke. P3DV4.5 is in C: \ P3Dv4. Global vector was working properly until last December 31, the date of my last installation of Add-On and therefore of my last use of the tool. Finally what do you mean by "AEC" in your last message. Thank you for your reply Best regards G BARTHELEMY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Hello, AEC is short for Airport Elevation Correction, what I believe you are trying to achieve. If the automated method is causing you a problem, what happens if you try one airport? Here is a guide: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gil84 Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share Posted January 23, 2020 650/5000 Hi, I understood that we could possibly resolve the terrain altitude problem manually. But before loading the Global Vector tool and reloading my last saved profile, I launched ORBX Central - which is set to update to version "4.0.38" and there I launched a verification of the files of Global VECTOR. Once this verification done I launched the tool "configure" in the menu of Orbx Central / My products / Global Vector / Configure. Well, imagine that the tool worked without any problems and the AEC is done. Strange. Thanks for all your answers and your help; Best regards Gilbert Barthelemy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
