Hi,

I have been running Pizman's script for operating sidestick solenoid locks with Jeehell without problems for a long time. The script autostarts with MF.Tonight I started my sim as usual and recieved the error: "Your Config could not be loaded. Please check for syntax errors."

I have not modified or interacted with the script for over a year. The command window is empty however my solenoids still operate briefly as they normally do duriong loading. however there is no further operatyion.

I am not able to creat any new configs. When I try to creat new mappings I get the error: "Error on loading presets. Presets are not available for selection". The FSUIPC offsets list is greyed out and not available.

The MF main window is showing a connection to FSUIPC.

Could you adivse, please?
Thank you.

Same problem for me today as well
All working great up till now. When I run Mobieflight 7.8.2 it starts up with a new window with nothing showing under Description.
Have tried to go to File - Open but when I try to open a previously saved MCC file I get the error "Your config could not be loaded.Please check for syntax errors"
I go to extras - settings - moboflight modules and my boards are showing.

Good Morning Guys !

At first.... Not hornor me for things i not do :-) "Pizman´s script" was jsut my idea.... But the mcc file and all the guides and videos was done by the Airbus User i talked to. So it´s his script finaly..... Whatever thats not the problem :P

******
Please Check THIS ..... https://www.mobiflight.com/forum/topic/5847.html

Our big friend Bill "Billyboy" Gates aka "Mr Microsoft" give us a new Update for his wonderfull Windows..... But badly this kill Mobiflight !
Sebastian is informed and hopefully he can hotfix Mobiflight within the next days to solve this.
UNTIL THEN the best solution is to REMOVE the Microsoft Update ..... For me and many other users this solve the problem and MF work like before.

NOTE: Disable the AutoUpdate System of Windows.... Else it will load and install this Update by itself the next night again !
Good Luck !

Danke, Pizman.

Well I followed your threads during the script's it's development and must say you had a good hand in it. It has been reliably keeping my side sticks operating correctly for a long time. :) .
I will take a look at the Windows Update problem and see if it resolves.

Thank you very much!

Hello Everyone,
We are in lockdown in Australia, and learning how to configure with Mobiflight and realizing I can built my own MCP/Cockpit has been the highlight of the past few weeks. My computer also done the update yesterday, and just now I am getting these errors, but I am glad for the explanation. For the next few days I will start to wire up my MCP properly, and pull out the soldering iron!

many thanks!

Hi Billydee Gretings to DownUnder

We know what you say... Our Lockdown takes 10 weeks and is still not over completly after months.... Whatever i also find a lot of time to build my cockpit once again..... So also Corona got positive aspects.

Please not think Mobiflight is a bad software cause this Windows-driver situation happen while you join up to our comunity....... I use MF for lots of years but thats the first time a Windows Update kill our system. Hopefully Mobiflight itself get a Hotfix within the next days !

Have fun with your building work..... And just ask if you got questions or need support..... We try to help !
Good Luck !
