Euroscope on Linux HOWTO

[Semir Gebran]

Hello,

 

This is a HOWTO on how to use Euroscope and AFV on Linux(UBUNTU 20.04) under wine to help  Linux users avoid using a VM.

 

What works: All expected core functionality including most plugins I use(TopSky and Ground Radar)

What doesn't work: AFV Bridge, Proxy (client not fed data), Some ALERT messages from TopSky which could be related to the mentioned proxy issue.

 

This requires wine 6, so Install wine stable from the official wine PPA as described here:

https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu

 

Install and, since the repository winetricks is outdated update winetricks with:
 

sudo apt-get install winetricks

sudo winetricks --self-update

 

Create a wine bottle and make sure it's configured to Windows 7, no virtual desktop.

 

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/your_username/Wine/vatsim wineboot

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/your_username/Wine/vatsim winecfg

 

Install the following additional software with winetricks:

• dotnet40
• dotnet45
• dotnet46
• dotnet461
• dotnet462
• dotnet472
• dotnet48
• iertutil
• msls31
• msxml6
• urlmon
• vcrun2010
• vcrun2017
• wininet

 

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/your_username/Wine/vatsim winetricks

 

Download Windows binaries. EuroScopeSetup32.msi and the beta EuroScopeBeta32r26.zip from:

https://www.euroscope.hu/install/EuroScopeSetup32.msi

https://www.euroscope.hu/install/EuroScopeBeta32a26.zip

 

Audio For VATSIM.msi from:

https://audio.vatsim.net/docs/2.0/atc/euroscope

 

Install Euroscope and friends into your wine bottle:

 

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/your_username/Wine/vatsim msiexec /i /home/your_username/Downloads/EuroScopeSetup32.msi

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/your_username/Wine/vatsim msiexec /i /home/your_username/Downloads/Audio\ For\ VATSIM.msi

 

Extract the Euroscope beta zip file into the wine bottle Program Files folder:

unzip -o /home/your_username/Downloads/Audio\ For\ Vatsim.msi -d /home/your_username/Wine/vatsim/drive_c/Program\ Files/EuroScope/

 

You can now launch Euroscope and AFV (or create a shell script which will do this for you):

 

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/your_username/Wine/vatsim wine start /unix "/home/your_username/Wine/vatsim/drive_c/AudioForVATSIM/AudioForVATSIM.exe"


WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/your_username/Wine/vatsim wine start /unix /home/your_username/Wine/vatsim/drive_c/Program\ Files/EuroScope/EuroScope.exe

 

Hope this helps. Take care,

Semir

Hello! Thanks for your tutorial. I followed it on my Mac (running macOS 11.3.1) and got AFV installed. However, shortly after seeing the GUI for a few seconds the application crashes with the following exception:

Workaround: Manually update the AFV client so that the update window that triggers the exception wouldn't be displayed.

Very interesting indeed!

Yu, are you using WINE for both EuroScope and AFV? I ask because while I have VRC running natively on the mac via CrossOver, I haven't tried AFV yet. I went the CrossOver route because of space limitations at the time (I'm currently on a mid-2011 MBA, but plan to upgrade when the next Macbook Pros are released). I may be able to get a full install of WINE running and try it that way as well. If you could let us know if you're using WINE on the mac, I'll give that a shot. Thanks!

BL.

I installed wine on macOS 11.3.1 using Homebrew. You will find these links useful:

Hey Weiqi, I am currently also trying to install AFV on wine, but I'm not sure how to manually update the AFV client. Can you explain?

You may install and update the AFV on a Windows machine (or VM) and then copy the installation folder to your wine folder.

Hey! Thank you for this tutorial, it's great.

I've followed step by step (did it twice even with a fresh install in the middle) but still getting this error when I try to launch AFV:

Thank you!

 

Edited

Ok so I think I've managed to get it running, some things that might be useful for other folks:

• When you install the additional software make sure you do it inside your wine bottle (aka: WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/{your_path_to_wine}/vatsim winetricks dotnet48)
• With the latest stable version of Wine some libraries are broken and the only way to bypass that error is by adding "--force" when installing them. I tried to upgrade to the latest development version of Wine, but whenever I ran the AudioForVATSIM installer it would throw an 4010 error and then quit so had no luck with it

 

Edited v2

The instalation went good but after I tried to connect to the AFV I got "Caught Connect Exception: The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send." so I guess I will go back to VirtualBox 😢

(Manjaro/arch wine-7.0-rc2)

AfV:

EDIT (1 day later): today it works 🙂 It probably needed a wineserver reset or similar?

Unfortunately I couldn't get AfV to run, even when letting it update itself first in a VirtualBox VM (current version is 1.8.1).

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/Nextcloud/FS/VATSIM/EuroScope/.wine wine ~/Nextcloud/FS/VATSIM/EuroScope/.wine/drive_c/AudioForVATSIM/AudioForVATSIM.exe
 

leads to this exception:

Unhandled Exception: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED)
 

Nota bene: There is also a section about Linux/wine in the official user guide: https://audio.vatsim.net/storage/AFV User Guide.pdf

 

EuroScope:

Runs fine with these setup steps. Thank you!

I'd also like to cross-reference the Wine HQ entry https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=9470

Do you happen to know if this is something to worry about?

AFV_BRIDGE: Unable to open communications for AFV Bridge

The afv-bridge plugin is part of the ATC-package of my vACC. If I understand it correctly, it is just for convenience and I can set my frequencies manually as well?

I have put together a little script from the info in this thread:

https://github.com/jonaseberle/euroscope-afv-wine

 

I currently still have the problem with Audio For VATSIM in that it currently crashes while yesterday it didn't. I don't know yet what is going on there.

I am posting the problem to the AfV Linux section https://forums.vatsim.net/forum/354-maclinux/

@Jonas Eberle The new AFV update is causing some weird crashes which also exists in windows, it may throw an unhandled exception or just refuse to close, but on wine after it refuses to close or even when I close it for the first time it just refuses the start again. The issues are present in windows but you can restart the app but you can't start it after the crash in wine.

I currently only use the script to install EuroScope. I've given up permanently on AfV.

 

I am using https://github.com/pierr3/VectorAudio now. It is beta and it needs testers but it comes along nicely and I've had several sessions with it.

I've got a quick question for all people, that run this. Does the heading tool work correctly for you, while you are using Euroscope with Wine? I've tried setting this up yesterday on my M1 Mac with CrossOver and it seems to be working all nice, but the heading tool is not. When I try to click and drag on the HDG-Tag on the aircraft, nothing happens. Any ideas?
