TWRTrainer, [Run-time error 13: Type mismatch]

[Eugene Zaporozhets 898014]

Just installed TWRTrainer today, and whever I try to open an airport file (even the default "KBTV_example.apt"), I get this message:

Run-time error '13': Type mismatch

 

Would anyone happen to know what might be the issue there and how to fix it?

Check the formatting of your airport file, make sure there are no extra spaces, tabs, etc., including at the end of a line where you might not normally notice it. If you can't figure it out, send me the file at ross at vatsim dot net.

Hi Ross, I have the same problem on my computer. I use the same airport file as all the other intructors in my FIR. Even when I try the sample file from BTV, it does it. Do you know if anything else could cause this?

 

Thanks for your help!

If your Windows is set up to use commas instead of decimal points then that might cause it.

Ok good, it might be the cause, do you know how I change this?

[Jean Nicholas Brisset 8349]

I found it and it worked, thanks Ross!

I've just installed TWR Trainer and I get this error message when I try to open the defaut KBTV_example.apt file:

 

Run-time error '6':

 

Overflow

Hi Rodrigo,

 

switching Windows to English Area Scheme (or whatever it is called in english/portuguez, I have a german WinXP) in the Task bar and from decimal comma to decimal point helped for me.
