Xsquawkbox windows not appearing

HI,

 

recently I've been unable to start Xsquawkbox.

 

To explain: I've been using it with X-plane ( 64bit steam edition) with few problems.

 

Occasionally when I click Plugins > Xsquawkbox > Connect (or any other Xsquawkbox menu item) the window don't appear. Restarting X-plane fixes this problem.

 

This evening I have not been able to get any Xsquawkbox windows to appear. This has been 3 hours of frustration. I've removed Xsquawkbox, downloaded and reinstalled several times. Restarted the PC (2 month old build) and tried everything I can think of. Including searching forums and google.

 

Everything else works fine, and I've run a file verify several times (steam ability).

 

Has anyone else had this problem? I'm currently unable to fly on-line (normally Id fly 100 on-line). I'm stumped. And depressed.

Hello Simon,

 

Can try running X-Plane, try to access XSB (once or twice), then quit X-Plane.

Once that's done, can you please post your log.txt (found in X-Plane install folder)

 

One thing I would also check is if the plugin somehow got disabled from the Plugin Manager of XP.

Thanks for the help Josh,

 

I've started X-plane in 64 and 32 bit a lot. The plugin is enabled and I've removed it and started again. Not joy.

 

I was about to post the logfile... I looked at it first. There was a plugin called chaseplaneview that I bought from x-plane. That was the one pluging and addon scenery that I hadn't removed, and as it sounds it affects the views.

 

Removing this has allowed me to start X-plane several times and I can get the windows I need.

 

I need to contact x-plane store to get them to fix what appears to be a bug on their site, I'll add this to the list :0

 

Josh, Thanks for the hints.
