mac@bath Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Hi Guys, Had a notification tonight that there are 6 updates available for my Orbx series on P3Dv4.5 Clicked on "install" (as per usual....and as usually works fine!) Strange message comes up..... "RED BOX = Error" "A communication error occurred when trying to perform this action" Never had this one before.... I'm on a (very) recent new machine....Overclocked i9, with GeforceRTX 2070Super graphics. What have I touched?????? What SHOULD I have touched??? Help/Advice will be much appreciated Barry Macrae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schud306 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Same problem here: "A communication error occurred when trying to perform this action" It happened after updating Orbx Central to v 4.1.11 Cannot use Central any more. Philip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac@bath Posted June 3, 2020 Author Share Posted June 3, 2020 Thanks Doug...... Spent some time trying the suggestions within the link, to the manual, but to no effect. Then I found an "old" post by your colleague Nick Cooper...... This raised the question about "compatibility" mode instal in Wndows10. YAY !!!!!!! He gave us the answer - which I will hope can also now help Schud306 (above). Indeed, it would seem that you (Orbx/Nick) actually knew (know!!) about this issue AND the required fix...….. How about it gets put on your forum - as a "sticky"....it would save a bundle of grief ….. perhaps for many others. It related to having downloaded & installed Orbx Central ……..In Compatibility Mode...... Well YES....I had!!! And always have!!!! Ever since I've been simming. Nick advised that it (G.C.) should NOT - repeat NOT - be installed with compat-mode ticked!!!! I uninstalled.....Reinstalled...Checked that Compat Mod was NOT ticked...and installed...... EVERYTHING WORKED AGAIN...…… including 7 airfield updates which ALL came down and installed - smooth as butter!!!! So well done Nick.....I'm breathing (and simming) again. One Happy Bunny! Cheers buddies..... Barry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
