Re: [Flightgear-devel] Local file error - download aircraft - Windows

[Ron H <ro...@ho...>]

Okay, sorry for all this.


Using the Aircraft Center opens the "launcher" - closing the launcher - hangs FG.  I can't close the window,

the window can be minimized and opened, resized. etc.  Minimizing the window and opening it gives

a blank black window. No menu works.  Esc does not work no keyboard access


The only way to stop is to use the task manager and kill the FG process.


Ron

Further to this.  If I don't use --launcher and then restart FG.  I can download aircraft with

the File | Aircraft Center menu item.  Works fine that way.

Hello,


I now get the following error when I try to download and aircraft to my system.


"An error occurred installing the following aircraft XYZ: A local file-system error occurred"


Using the current next and the windows-nightly.  I do not get the error on my copy of 2017.1.1.

I can stop the error from happening if I run FG as administrator. ie. right click on shortcut and

run as admin.


I do see the folder as the download happens with the _extract_<guid> where <guid> is a guid value not "guid".

Now the trouble is that the aircraft in the launcher has a status to update - not install.  I have to close and restart FG

for the aircraft to go back to install.
