Hi,
Checked the warning without start and the Acars window pops-up so you can't miss it.
Also checked LTFM airport and Acars does not crash so working ok.

The parking gates mentioned for LTFM on the Acars are from LTBA so it should be updated.
Also Acars does not focus on LTFM when you try to get the information on the Acars. It focuses on your last airport you have checked. In the example it goes to LGAV but checked with other airports and does the same thing. For example if you get LHBP and then try LTFM the map focuses to LHBP.

Nice catch! It will be fixed in the next update.

Beta 0.4.1.5 is now live
  • Fixed an issue with wrong distance reported following a sim CTD and when the user reloads the saved flight (Fsuipc auto-save feature)
  • Fixed an issue with map drawing following a sim CTD and when the user reloards the saved flight (map line passes from the point where the Equator and the Prime Meridian join)
  • Fixed a rare issue with wrong distance reported when the user selects a flight in ACARS before the sim has fully loaded and before the aircraft is positioned at the gate
  • Fixed a rare issue with Fsuipc connection displaying "Attempting to connect" when it's already connected.

The above bug fixes should (hopefully) address any map drawing and large distance reported issues.

  • The 'forgot to start flight' notification now also appears in the simulator

Καλησπέρα, ξαφνικά δεν μου ανοίγει το Acars. Το απεγκατέστησα και το ξαναεγκατέστησα. Συνεχίζει και μου βγάζει το ίδιο μήνυμα. Πώς διορθώνεται;

http://prntscr.com/p8wacc


***fixed*** Βρήκα το σφάλμα και το απεκατέστησα. Για κάποιο λόγο, άγνωστο, το antivirus μου μετά από συνεχή πολυετή χρήση του, απεφάσισε να θεωρήσει το acars επικίνδυνο και να το θέσει σε καραντίνα. Το επανέφερα, το όρισα ως ασφαλή εφαρμογή και πλέον δουλεύει όπως στο πριν.

0.4.3.0 is live for beta testing.

New features:
Added pushback state
Gate detection (for users using makerunways)

In order for gate detection to work, user must download and run MakeRwys (a utility by Pete Dowson, maker of fsuipc) from http://www.fsuipc.com/. MakeRwys reads the default and installed scenery files and creates the appropriate database for various 3rd party developers.

Instructions:
For FSX users: Place the MakeRwys.exe into the relevant main FSX folder and run MakeRwys.exe
For P3D users: Place the MakeRwys.exe and LorbySceneryExport.exe into the relevant main P3D folder and run MakeRwys.exe

Note 1: MakeRwys.exe must be executed as administrator
Note 2: User must rebuild the database created MakeRunways, each time a new scenery is added to the simulator for the gate detection to work properly in the newly installed scenery.

Fixed occasional crashes for X-Plane users when connection to server was failing and significantly reduced server load when users were using X-Plane.

Thanks to OAL885 Miltos Marasidis for reporting it.
