Douglas Peterson Posted March 11, 2019 at 05:29 AM Posted March 11, 2019 at 05:29 AM I’ve been able to convert VRC to run on current Macs using the Wine environment, and am trying to get TwrTrainer converted. In doing that, I know that it’s using VBasic runtime 6, and can get it to start up, and give the login credential message, but I get a problem from Wine when I have asked the program to open an .apt file (even the sample one). I’m hoping you could tell me what the dependencies are for TwrTrainer. Knowing those, I have a fighting chance at the conversion. If it works, I can roll up a stand-alone Mac version that could be distributed. Am trying with even less success at present to do same for vSTARS and vATIS, same info would be helpful too. Thanks for having written and maintained these! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douglas Peterson Posted March 11, 2019 at 03:49 PM Author Posted March 11, 2019 at 03:49 PM Yes, but it is an error from Wine, not from TwrTrainer. "run-time error 445 object doesn't support this action" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted March 11, 2019 at 04:41 PM Posted March 11, 2019 at 04:41 PM It's been many years since I wrote TWRTrainer and I have no idea what dependencies it may need on a Wine system, but a search of the forums here revealed that some users were able to get it to work on some systems after installing and registering the following activex controls: mswinsck.ocx msflxgrd.ocx comdlg32.ocx Maybe you need these files?

Douglas Peterson Posted March 12, 2019 at 03:55 AM Author Posted March 12, 2019 at 03:55 AM You recall whether you used VB5, VB6, or what? Should be fairly vanilla I’d think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted March 12, 2019 at 04:05 AM Posted March 12, 2019 at 04:05 AM It was vb6. Developer: vPilot, VRC, vSTARS, vERAM, VAT-Spy Senior Controller, Boston Virtual ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
