No airports or airport database loaded

[CartesianPixels]

Hello! got a little issue with ACARS

 

I just purchased vmsACARS, and I can't get it to work for me, it shows the following error : "No airports or airport database loaded"

1- I scanned the scenery

2- I updated FSUIPC as required

3- deleted data and launched the acars again

4- no apps are running other than the sim : Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 (Store version)

5- UserCfg.opt permissions are all set as required 

6- Acars is set on website and up and module running as expected

log can be found here : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gs0ztrtg6FUswTYEWi-LVwwvl9mg5yBm/view?usp=sharing

 

Thanks!

No, they are not and vmsAcars is telling you exactly this with a message box whenever you try to scan your sceneries.

I made it work, thank you, indeed, permissions were the reason
however now I am facing another issue, log is showing the following errors

I shared my thoughts already at Discord.

 

Looks like your install is not good and you have file/folder access problems.
