FSRealtime

[Mowgli22]

Been using this for eons. Today runtime error 9 subscript out of range. Realtime wont start. Anyone have an idea what could have occured. Windows update?

[hgschnell]

Same problem here

 

Win 10, all updates...

[Dijon76]

Same problem but running on XP

[Mowgli22]

Guess we're hooped.

[hgschnell]

I hope, it is only a server problem.
As V 1.96.8 and 1.99 work for FSX and P3D too, so it should go on some time...

I got an advice from a smart guy for a workaround.
You have to redirect the access of www.3dsoftworks.net to your localhost.

You have to open notepad as Administrator and edit the file
C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts and add the line:

127.0.0.1    www.3dsoftworks.net 

Use it on your own risk

Notepad is a utility on every Windows computer.

It is the normal editor for txt files

[Mowgli22]

Sorry, i know what notepad is i have found C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts. When i add  127.0.0.1    www.3dsoftworks.net i can not save it. It says i need administrator privileges. I am the administrator.

Win key (keyboard besides "CNTRL")

enter Editor or notepad,

Right Click "as Administrator".
then saving is possible

[Mowgli22]

Thank you, i'll try it

Thanks for your time and effort. Doesn't work for me. Not a big deal. I can live without FSRealtime. Cheers

Try just running notepad as admin long enough to edit the host file.

Works without internet connexion   In fact not change anything only start FSRealTime without internet connexion, then start your internet connexion and no problem.

I can edit the host file, just won't let me save it. I have to change the file name and save it to documents. That is my only option.

Try to start FSrealtime without Internet connexion. For me works, then you start your Internet and FSrealtime continue without problem!

"Run as Administrator" is the magic word in English

 

[jgf]

The edit is not "official" until the file is saved;  windows is blocking the save because of access permissions.  Running as admin sidesteps this by giving you permission.

I would be interested in an older version. I would like to see if any other one will start without having to turn off internet first I keep forgetting to do that

Thank you for sharing this post. It works perfectly and I am really pleased that there was a way around the problem with FS Realtime.  Flying without FS Realtime is not really an option and this was very simple but effective fix.

Older versions are available on Simviation, but may have the same problem.

Thanks for this
