ACSim Not Acknowleging Situation Files

I haven't been able to load ACSim since my initial thread on problems running it. Since that thread, I've moved into a new house and also completely reformatted the hard drives on two computers.

 

I tried again last night to run ACSim, and this time I suppose there was a slight improvement. I'm now able to load sector files without any error messages. The all-time major setback right now is that after trying to get situation files to load, the program will lock up for a little bit, then return to the same screen I had just prior to loading the situation file.

 

On another note, with ACSim's apparent incompatibility with Windows 7, would it be possible to get a team together (or get someone to do this solo) to develop something new? I feel bad because I don't know any programming languages other than HTML/PHP/MySQL, and I know this is a lot to ask for, but it is a critical part of many divisional training programs.

Harold,

 

I had ACSim working on the 32bit Beta Version Windows 7, but in the same postion as you with 64bit Release candidate. What version are you running?

I understand the new version of Euroscope will solve all our problems! The current version provides a simulator front end for the trainer but the students have to connect to the instructor's IP address which is not always possible. I believe the new version will connect to the sweatbox server - I'm certainly eagerly awaiting it.

 

(Of course student's can use any radar client)

While that's pretty cool, none of the sector files in my ARTCC (and many others in the United States) are not formatted for use in Euroscope (particularly our video maps). I would hope that this inclusion could also become a standalone client.

I should clarify that a little bit. I'm running Windows XP 32-bit, and it hasn't worked in a very long time. Two other training staff members are also experiencing the same problem.

This is the ultimate in facepalm material. My CID and p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word credentials were not filled in on the login window, which I discovered after looking at every possible option.
