This seems to be a problem with Swiftbus generating aircraft objects and occurs whether Metal is selected or not. Log file attached. Any help appreciated.

Andreas Fuchs Posted September 12, 2020 at 10:34 AM Posted September 12, 2020 at 10:34 AM (edited) Hi Steve, we have had this happen to people who were using an older version of LittleNavMap's plugin LittleXPConnect. One of our team members found out about this after hours of testing. You need to install the latest version of it, as of today it is LittleXPConnect 1.0.19: https://github.com/albar965/littlexpconnect/releases Edited September 12, 2020 at 10:35 AM by Andreas Fuchs Cheers, Andreas Member of VATSIM GermanyMy real flying on InstagramMy Twitch streams of VATSIM flights and ATC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Underhill Posted September 12, 2020 at 03:09 PM Author Posted September 12, 2020 at 03:09 PM Thanks Andreas, I now have it working but am not sure how to convert the X-CSL/BB Aircraft files using Python, as at the moment I only have aircraft callsigns and no aircraft. I have Python 3 installed and am using a Mac but don't know the command to enter using Terminal. Can you please advise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Fuchs Posted September 12, 2020 at 08:02 PM Posted September 12, 2020 at 08:02 PM Hi Steve, you will need to place the CSL2XSB script file into the X-CSL directory and then run it: https://docs.swift-project.org/doku.php?id=csl2xsb_converter#model_conversion_in_swift_configuration_wizard Cheers, Andreas Member of VATSIM GermanyMy real flying on InstagramMy Twitch streams of VATSIM flights and ATC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Underhill Posted September 13, 2020 at 06:17 AM Author Posted September 13, 2020 at 06:17 AM (edited) Hi again Andreas, I have followed the instructions on the link but am still unable to run the script. On double clicking I get no Y/N option only the two windows attached. It appears a command line is required, an example is given on the download page on the x-plane.org website: https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/51730-csl2xsb/ but I have not been able to find a command that works. Any suggestions? Thanks Steve Edited September 13, 2020 at 06:21 AM by Steve Underhill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Fuchs Posted September 13, 2020 at 08:17 AM Posted September 13, 2020 at 08:17 AM (edited) Hi Steve, oh, sorry for this. I do not use Mac or Linux, so I had to guess a little bit and obviously got it wrong. The instructions at X-Plane.org should work, though. If I used Mac/Linux, my command line would probably look like this: python3 CSL2XSB.py YourDrive:\X-Plane 11\Custom Data\CSL\X-CSL Thanks for finding my mistake, I have amended our help page already.

Steve Underhill Posted September 13, 2020 at 10:10 AM Author Posted September 13, 2020 at 10:10 AM Hi Andreas, I am really at a loss, I have tried all sorts of combinations and cannot run the script. Attached my latest effort. This is incredibly frustrating. Please also note your syntax is different to that on the x-plane link you have reversed the back/forward slash. I think we need a Python Mac expert? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Fuchs Posted September 13, 2020 at 11:10 AM Posted September 13, 2020 at 11:10 AM Hi Steve, I have used Python 3.7.4 for this and I understood from X-Plane.org people with newer version had issues like you. Could you try downgrading to Python 3.7 ? Just for testing purposes? If it does not work, we still have an ace to get you going. Would you mind trying this?

Andreas Fuchs Posted September 13, 2020 at 11:16 AM Posted September 13, 2020 at 11:16 AM Oh, and just to make sure: X-CSL is installed in X-Plane 11\Custom Data\CSL\X-CSL Cheers, Andreas Member of VATSIM GermanyMy real flying on InstagramMy Twitch streams of VATSIM flights and ATC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Underhill Posted September 13, 2020 at 01:21 PM Author Posted September 13, 2020 at 01:21 PM Hi Andreas, Okay I think I finally have it. You have to navigate to the directory in which your CSL Files are located in Terminal making sure you have copied the script file to the same folder. You then type the command "python3 CSL2XSB.py" and select Y in the window that opens. The script will then convert all files in this and any sub directories and advise you when it is complete.

Andreas Fuchs Posted September 13, 2020 at 01:24 PM Posted September 13, 2020 at 01:24 PM Thank you for your feedback! So, even in MacOS and Linux the script file needs to be placed inside the main CSL-folder. That's the same in Windows.

Steve Underhill Posted September 13, 2020 at 01:28 PM Author Posted September 13, 2020 at 01:28 PM Yes and the Python script must be run from within the folder that the CSL objects are in thru Terminal. I have some aircraft showing but have just upgraded to 0.9.5.131 and am geting a validation stopped warning models not accessible or too many issues!
