Hello all,

 

I just posted a new version of TWRTrainer for divisional and regional staff to download and distribute to instructors. This version fixes a bug where you could not [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ign a squawk code starting with a zero.

 

It also fixes a bug where you could not have a taxiway that connects to a runway at more than one point.

I downloaded and installed the new version last night and now the airport files I have been using fine with the old version no longer work

 

I get lots of Unknown line format found on line xxx: errors in both files.

Will do Ross, thanks. I'm just part way through a flight so will send them after I land and shut down.

Hi Ross

 

Hope you got the files yesterday. I would imagine you have been somewhat busy in the past couple of days.

I've responded to Mark via email, but I figured I'd post here as well.

 

The problem is due to extra spaces at the ends of lines. There can be no extra spaces or tabs on a line. The old version ignored these lines, but the new version is more strict about line formatting.

A very embarr[Mod - Happy Thoughts]ed Mark found the extra spaces. They were actually in the spaces between lines. I'd checked all the lines for an additional space at the end of the line but missed a few BETWEEN - i.e.:

 

[TAXIWAY U]

-41.32622 174.81026

-41.32639 177.81216

[TAXIWAY V]

-41.32920 174.81004

-41.32925 174.81195

 

Where was just that, I'd hit the space bar in error.

 

Thanks to Ross's wonderful help and support, the files are now working again.
