Thanks for the plug in!

Is it possible to load it two times, if you have two Runways?

Ah, one more request: currently the plugin searches for "reminder.wav" in the subfolder \sounds\ in the main directory of Euroscope. Me and others have placed all these files (sounds, profiles, sector files, ESEs etc.) into the "my files" directory. Any chance to make the plugin more flexible on this so we can put the WAVE-file into the other folder with all the sounds of ES?

Just a side-question:

Why would you seperate departing from approaching traffic by wakes?

 

At the point where the departing gets vulnerable for wakes (mid of runway, after rotating), the arriving has touched down the nose wheel (first third of runway), so the wakes are not a threat to the following aircraft.

 

Wake time seperation, in my imagination, only makes sense for departing/departing.

For arriving traffic, distance separation is provided (M-3nm-M, H-5nm-M etc.).

Departing to arriving traffic is separated by means of "runway separation" only, as far as I am informed.

Well do Philip ..

Don't wprry Craig sorted me out last night. It was a case to actually reading the instructions rather thinking I've read them. Craig and I go back a long way and I'm used to "breaking/testing" his software.

When you load the plugin the CountDown tool will not display straight away (by default it is hidden). You have to type .fcd show [ENTER] to show the CountDown tool. Do you guys think that I should have the tool show by default, then hide it from windows you dont want it on?

I have installed E/S in c:\Euroscope and have all sounds in c:\Euroscope\Sounds. I copied the dll in the first dir and the wav in the second dir. When attmpting to load the plugin from within E/S, I get "Failed to load plugin DLL: c:\Euroscope\CountDown.dll".

 

Any ideas?

George,

 

Download the dependency walker program (depends.exe from http://dependencywalker.com/). Open the c:\Euroscope\CountDown.dll with it. The you will get a complete list of what other DLLs are necessary for loading it. Also the not found ones will be highlighted.

Thanks for the answer, the dependency walker tool seems really useful, nevertheless, the 3 missing DLLs it reported were downloaded and copied at the windows\system32 dir (Win XP) but the problem remains. Maybe I'm missing something...

The dll files need by ES to start a plug-in (not the plug-in's dll itself), needs to be in the folder where the EuroScope.exe is.

 

Clint you can download the three files from the web. If you are unable, I can send it to them.

I confirm the exact same behaviour as Clint. The DLLs are in the Euroscope folder, dependency walker gives the exact same message, the plugin fails to load...

Then maybe Craig Philips should update the installation instructions, with a link to the necessary C++ library redistributable. The thing is, the plugin works as is for most users. My configuration is Win XP Pro SP2 x86. Maybe the redistributable is necessary only for "older" operating systems like mine...
