xplane vatsim problems (mac)

[Matthew Poplin 1173447]

hey guys i'm having a problem with vatsim.

i can login but get a error. i go to set up my audio on the plugin and it crashes.

what am i doing wrong i set it up this way:

in the plugins file i have xsquawkbox.xpl

in another file called: for plugins folder

that came with the download i have the xsquakbox.xpl in there and the xsquawkbox resources.

For Plugins is for CSL kits. I won't go into detail with those, hopefully there is a topic or two in this forum discussing that. "plugins" is where I have XsquawkBox_VATSIM.xpl, and I easily fly online. And yes, that was the full name of file.

Both XSquawkBox_VATSIM.xpl and the XSquawkBox Resources folder should be in your X-Plane 9/Resources/plugins folder.

[Matthew Poplin 1173447]

heres what i go it like-

X-plane 9 / Resources / Plugins / xsquawkbox resources folder / xsquawkbox_vatsim.xpl

X-plane 9 / Resources / Plugins / xsquawkbox resources folder / for plugins

X-plane 9 / Resources / Plugins / xsquawkbox_vatsim.xpl

 

is that right or wrong?

 

cause i get a error when xplane loads the airport and then when i go to plugins to xsquakbox then to set up audio it crashes.

X-plane 9 / Resources / Plugins / xsquawkbox resources folder / for plugins

X-plane 9 / Resources / Plugins / xsquawkbox_vatsim.xpl

 

is that right or wrong?

Wrong

 

First, delete all of the above.

 

Then, re-unzip xsb_mac_vatsim_1.0.3b1.zip. Go into the for plugins folder folder, and drag the two items comprising the contents of this folder (not the folder itself) into the X-Plane 9/Resources/plugins folder.

 

You should be dragging the .xpl file and the XSquawkBox Resources folder into X-Plane's plugins folder.

 

Then give it a whirl.

Sent you a PM. If you don't catch me right away (heading out soon), try me again later this evening.

Matthew,

 

the 'for plugins folder' implies that the contents of the folder should be moved into the plugins folder...not the entire folder itself.

 

You should have the XPL file in your plugins folder. In the plugins folder, you should have an XSquawkbox Resources folder.

 

In the XSquawkbox Resources folder, you should have:

airlines.txt

some CSV files

lights.png

liveries.txt

related.txt

and very importantly, a CSL folder.

 

It's not working because the plugin (the XPL file) is expecting files to be in certain places, and you haven't put them there.

I've had a report of setup audio crashing. I'm looking into it.
