Gary Campbell 1174391 Posted April 4, 2011 at 10:50 PM Posted April 4, 2011 at 10:50 PM I have xsb 1.03 for xplane 9.6 (something). I can connect to vatsim and everything works fine - I can see craft, I can talk to ATC, my flights are logged - all good. The problem is xsb forgets my settings and I have to set up xsb every single time I start a new xplane session. It forgets my name, my vatsim ID, my call sign, the flight plan defaults to kbos (or something) and I have to set up my mike, speakers and PTT keys every single time. Is there a config file or somewhere these setting should be saved? Can I create one or edit one? Where can I find it? I'll admit I get an error message when XSB initialises telling me to check error.out file but I can't see any error.out file anywhere on my hard drive. Ta for help.

It's possible that it doesn't have permission to write to Resources/plugins/XSquawkBox Resources/, which is where the XSquawkBox Prefs file is stored. Check the ownership of those folders.

Brendan Lynch 1167842 Posted April 5, 2011 at 01:50 AM Posted April 5, 2011 at 01:50 AM If you don't do anything, (which I have chosen to do), and maybe if you do try, it will automatically default back to a N callsign, Real Name, Select Server, etc, and the filing always stays KBOS-KJFK Alt KEWR with ROBER I believe in the route, /R/, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Campbell 1174391 Posted April 16, 2011 at 02:12 AM Author Posted April 16, 2011 at 02:12 AM Hmm - I don't have a XSquawkBox Resources/ subfolder. I'll create that manually and see if that makes a difference. Can someone email me their pref file (remove any personal data) and location so I can modify and use that?

I'll create that manually and see if that makes a difference. Can someone email me their pref file (remove any personal data) and location so I can modify and use that? I meant the X-Plane Resources folder, not an XSB one. All plugins go into X-Plane/Resources/plugins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Campbell 1174391 Posted April 17, 2011 at 12:21 PM Author Posted April 17, 2011 at 12:21 PM Okay - thanks for that. I have that folder. Does anyone have a xsb config file in that folder? What's it called and what text is inside it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Williams 877539 Posted April 17, 2011 at 01:12 PM Posted April 17, 2011 at 01:12 PM It's called XSquawkBox Prefs, as noted above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wade Williams 877539 Posted April 19, 2011 at 02:27 PM Posted April 19, 2011 at 02:27 PM Download XSB again. In the package in the "For Plugins" folder, you'll find an XSquawkBox Resources folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Campbell 1174391 Posted April 20, 2011 at 08:39 AM Author Posted April 20, 2011 at 08:39 AM That fixed it - the folder name is case sensitive. That's what was causing my confusion! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
