Hi Steve,

Out of the blue I receive an error message I've never seen before (see attachment). A simple flight from TBPB to SOCA won't generate for reasons I don't understand. I've re-indexed my files several times, checked my defaults - everything seems ok.
Maybe you can shed some light?
Thanks!

KR Theo

PS: Also my next flight (SOCA - SBNT) can't be prepared...

What's the error say Theo? I'm building TBPB to SOCA with no issues...trying some more...

After trying a build, observe the Flight Log (right-click popup menu):

What was the Message you see come up when it ends the flight build - that's important it might not get to go in the log so I am guessing at the monitor file being edited or one added for the plane.

There's a few things we can try as a guess, first might be the monitor file edited:

Can you go to Flight Generator Page, Mission, Edit Monitor File - is that set to Default (in the box at the top?)

If it is not the default can you choose the default file and try building again.


If it does not build can you paste the content of C:\ProgramData\Ideal Flight Professional\Profiles\Monitor\Default.ini

then Delete the files there and start IFPro and try again.

...forgot to say I can't see the attachment. Did you fly to TBPB?

...just rambling out some more ideas...an easy quick check on things is to go into profiles and make a new profile (press New), not limited back to the main page and press the build icon (red right arrow).

Problem is in the making of the briefing somewhere, might be building a map if you have those airports as add-ons. Until a route is built there may not be a chance to find a problem beforehand.

Not an issue the monitor file is original - this can be edited to alter the scoring.

Stock airports TBPB to SOCA to SBNT.
Flew to TBPB that was from a successful build.
You did nothing other than attempt the next flight build TBPB to SOCA and also tried SOCA to SBNT.
You tried a New Pilot with the default setup.

Could be the Export file - can you uncheck the exported file and try again. What export file type is it?


"Out of the blue I receive an error message I've never seen before (see attachment). "

Unfortunately I didn't get to see the message I've not got the attachment - would be very handy to know what the message was.

Hi Steve,

Sorry the attachment didn't work. Here's the message:

A flight could not be prepared;
Please try re-indexing from the start page popup menu: Maintain Indexes,
Please try adjusting aircraft flight parameters, flight generator times, or search filters

KR, Theo
PS: I did all the mentioned suggestions several times.
