Hi,

Just purchased a licensed copy but the DEMO version doesn't work on my main computer so I couldn't run to activate it, either via Edge or Chrome.

Therefore, I tried to install the DEMO on my old laptop. It works and creates a license.txt file onto the Data directory.

I copied the license.txt to my main computer. No luck. The DEMO still doesn't work.

I also tried reinstalling the program with Firewall and Antivirus disabled.

I even created firewall rules based on my old laptop.

Still no luck.

Please help
Tom

Hello, please send me the log.txt file located in the SkyElite Data subfolder, also, the http address you use to connect or a browser screenshot or photo.

The log should give a clue of what is going on.

Thanks.

Hello,

I received your log in the support email.

Looks like a windows permissions issue but log stops without additional information.

Please, execute SkyElite from the Server sub-folder, a .exe called SkyEliteServer.exe, it will execute in a command line window and probably show extra information about what is going on. Please send me screenshot when hangs.

Thank you!

Hi,
Executed the file as instructed. But the screen disappear after run. I have tried my best to capture the contents in 2 images.
Don't find any option here to attach the files. So I am sending to you by email.
Tom

Yes, please, send email for files.

According to your screenshots, the problem is that your windows has not the media player installed. This media player is required to the SkyElite music option.

Try to install it and try again:

Thanks.

Ok, I'll install it and get back.

Cool !
After re-enabling Windows Media Player on my computer, you app runs normally. Thank you.

BTW, I have tried adding the following lines to load up your app with MSFS 2020 in exe.xml.

<Launch.Addon>
<Name>SkyElite</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<Path>T:\SkyElite for MFS2020\SkyElite.exe</Path>
<CommandLine>-r</CommandLine>
</Launch.Addon>

It doesn't load up as the other executables do in the file. Anything I missed ?

I am using Steam version of the MSFS

Here's my simconnect.ini

[SimConnect]
level=off
console=0
;OutputDebugString=0
;file=c:\SimConnect%03u.log
;file_next_index=1
;RedirectStdOutToConsole=0

Hello,

Glad its working now.

I have other user with the same issue in the Steam version and we are still figuring this out, I don't use Steam version.

Please read last massage on:

https://4flightsims.com/...start-SkyElite-with-MSFS 

Thanks!

No problem. Noted.
Other executables I put in the exe.xml load up with MSFS2020 with no issue.
I'll explore it further.
Thanks for the quick response.
Tom

Other executables I put in the exe.xml load up with MSFS2020 with no issue.

Then it should be a permissions folder, the folder where you installed SkyElite has no permissions for MSFS.

Windows is very picky with that.

Thanks for the note. But not quite sure since two other executables (see below) I put in the same exe.xml are on the same drive T:\ on my computer. They are nothing special than yours app.

<Launch.Addon>
<Name>SkyElite</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<Path>T:\SkyElite for MFS2020\SkyElite.exe</Path>
<CommandLine>-r</CommandLine>
</Launch.Addon>

<Launch.Addon>
<Name>Quick ILS</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<Path>T:\Fehr Media\Quick ILS\Quick ILS.exe</Path>
<CommandLine>-r</CommandLine>
</Launch.Addon>

<Launch.Addon>
<Name>SIM Radio</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<Path>T:\SimRadio Interface\SIMRadio.exe</Path>
<CommandLine>-r</CommandLine>
</Launch.Addon>

SkyElite needs to run in administrator mode, not sure how your MSFS is ran, and how the exe.xml starts.

I know is that some users are using this exe.xml with no issues and only very few ones are having the problem, mostly Steam.

As indicated in the other post, not sure if enabling the log in the simconnect.ini file will solve this issue.

Fix found:

[This fix has been confirmed by the user, it works]

SkyElite needs administrator privileges to run, then if MSFS is not executed as administrator, the exe.xml will not be able to launch it.

Running MSFS as administrator works very well:

1. Right click on MSFS icon and run as administrator or...
2. Create an shortcut to MSFS and then set the advance options of the shortcut to run always as admin.

I will try to make this easier, so far this is the workaround.

Thanks!

Thanks for the note. No big deal.
Your app is quite nice. Thank you.

Make sense. Will try it out later.
