Running XSquawkBox without crashes

[Rodrigo Rossi 1290388]

Since X-Plane 10.35 update XSquawkBox is crashing X-Plane many times without a known patter. As this project is almost dead and there is not another option for X-Plane pilots by now I've tried something that worked for me. I'm posting here the same post I made at X-Plane.org

 

Notice that this procedure was tested on Windos x64 only.

 

******* ATENTION ***********

 

This is not an official solution. I tried this myself and had no crashes until now!

 

You need Notepad++ (or other advanced low-level code editor) to do it. Doing it with notepad will crash the plugin (Notepad++ is available for free at http://notepad-plus-plus.org/).

 

******* INSTRUCTIONS *********

 

First, install the XsquawkBox normally.

 

1 - Inside plugins folder go to XSquawkBox/64 and copy the file win.xpl (not tested with 32-bit version). Paste this file inside the plugins root folder.

 

2 - Go to XSquawkBox and copy the Resources folder. Paste inside the plugins root folder.

 

3 - Do it with Notepad++: Open the win.xpl file. There will be a lot of codes there, don't worry about it. Ctrl + F to open the search box, then search for the word Resources. There will be only one match. You will find something like this: NULNULNULNULResourcesNULNULNUL..NULNUL

 

DELETE ONLY THE TWO DOTS, this portion must looks like NULNULNULNULResourcesNULNULNULNULNUL

 

Don't do anything else, or you can ruin the code.

 

Save the file and we are done. Until now no more crashes for me! Please, post your results.
