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.

Hello, I'm having the same error. And I checked the file that needed the permissions, and it had all the permissions already set. So I checked the log file to see what error I might be getting and I saw these:

01-09 13:51:50|INFO; Checking C:\Users\Kaan\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache for MSFS config
01-09 13:51:50|WARN; Directory $C:\Users\Kaan\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache doesn't exist, skipping
01-09 13:51:50|INFO; Checking C:\Users\Kaan\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator for MSFS config
01-09 13:51:50|WARN; Directory $C:\Users\Kaan\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator doesn't exist, skipping
01-09 13:51:50|ERROR; FileNotFoundException: MSFS Config path not found
01-09 13:51:50|ERROR; MSFS Config path not found
01-09 13:51:50|INFO; MessageBox, message=MSFS Config path not found

 

I double checked my folders and in the Appdata folder the Microsoft Flight Simulator folder is not named as in the log file. It's named as: Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe

 

What should I do about this?

Already replied on Discord, v1 is not fully MSFS2024 compatible  It needs MSFS2020 to support 24, wait for v2 beta.

 

Safe flights
