based on the logs AIGTC is actual starting fine, what kind of error message actual appears? CMD window?

A .NET window appears but only for a few seconds. There's a reference to cameras.cfg in P3Dv4\add-on folder missing. I'll do a screen grab tomorrow. It's like it's trying to connect to v4 but then the error message disappears and it successfully connects to v5 and AIGTC minimises to the Taskbar.

It's the attempt to connect to a non-existent sim that's the baffling bit. That's why I asked if you read Registry entries to determine what versions were installed. Maybe my 'dummy' P3Dv4 entry is responsible?

Kaiii, a little more info. I installed v5 back in March and have used that version all the time. I haven't touched AIG TC in ages. When AIGTC is launched I never saw a prompt for the version of P3D. It ran without any error message appearing.

It's only when I uninstalled v4 yesterday that this error started. And although it does eventually connect to v5 it seems to want to connect to v4 first.

I've looked at all the .config files but none seem to show which version of P3D it should connect to.

[Kaiii3]

can you check the evenview of windows for any potential error entry?

Hi Kaiii,

Here's the .NET error message plus two errors related to AiLightsReborn which may or may not be related.

I hope that helps shed some light on the problem.

It's definitely a AiLights Reborn problem as I get the same error when opening that program and no sim can be selected from the drop-down. I've posted on their AvSim forum.

Sorry to have wasted your time Kaiii. Once this problem is sorted I'm sure AIGTC will be fine.

Ai Lights Reborn looks in the Registry for installed versions of P3D. My hack for v4 has caused issues for it. I have posted about it on AvSim with a suggested work-around.

Just save that P3Dv4 Registry entry to a file, then delete the entry and only run the .reg file to reinstate the entry whenever you want to use the Vertx DA62 Utility program. For all other situations remove it and it keeps AILR and AIG TC happy.

Feel free to mark this as SOLVED.

glad you found it Now Raul can handle it
