Resolved 9106 PMDG export issue
- Thread starter bobsk8
- Start date
I reinstalled Active Sky. The only thing I cannot get to work now, is the flilght plan loading into PMDG either the 777 or 737, and I have tried selecting them in the PMDG path settings export path settings. I have my sim on the F drive, and am using that community folder and the WX folder for either aircraft. I use the default AV in Windows 10. F:\MSFS\Community\pmdg-aircraft-77w\Config\WX It worked perfectly before the update?

Older version, 9019 from my backup drive, the correct WX file is sent to PMDG 737 or 777, which ever I point to. Update 9019 to latest version, and no file is sent to PMDG. Uninstall latest version, reinstall 9019 and file is sent to PMDG. I did this 5 times, with same result each time..

I will open a ticket today. I also noticed that other users are having problems with the latest update, to the point where the older 9109 which I went back to, is had been added to your download page. So there must be something not right with this latest update. I am just going to stay with 9109 because everything works properly.
Here is a test build in attempts to auto-detect more PMDG paths and in case user has chosen incorrect path: https://www.mediafire.com/file_premium/04opdv60czkvn9r/AS_FS_Install.exe/file
You should always update. And report when you find issues, so we can address. The issue here was likely the incorrect path you had specified, but the "fix" identified this and found the correct path regardless.That fixed it, not only that but the WX is showing in both the 737 and 777. Congratulations. I guess I should not update this now.
No it wasn't the path, I checked the path a half dozen times, and when I installed the older version that worked, the path was exactly the same. In fact I even posted the path in one of my posts above on this thread. (post #3)
I just checked the path now in the new version that is working, and it is exactly the same.
F:\MSFS\Community\pmdg-aircraft-77w\Config\WX
I think I will just stay with this version.

OK, I read something where someone suggested that the path for the WX file for PMDG 737 and 777 should have the WX directory inside the Work directory and not inside the Config as mine is.. THis is the way PMDG set up my directories when I installed both the 737 and 777
F:\MSFS\Community\pmdg-aircraft-77w\Config\WX ,
I posted on the PMDG forum tonight to see why my install says Config, and you think it should be Work....

As previously mentioned:
There have been many updates/enhancements to this functionality since the earlier ASFS builds so I'm not sure exactly why it worked before but it's not surprising. In any case, wrong folder = wrong results, until we now have added fail-safe for wrong location.
If the file is being generated by ASFS, but pointed at a folder that PMDG isn't reading, this explains everything. In my tests, even with the wrong folder set as your configuration, it was writing out the file. But it isn't being read from this location, so....
