FSFO installed. User profile built. "Save" pressed but information pops up as follows :- Access to path "C:\program files\Name\FSFO\user.cfg" is denied.
Not quite sure what to do next to get the programme under way. Would appreciate your kind assistance.

Just a shot in the dark, is your "user.cfg" read only? That would be why you cant save.

Hi Michael,

Try uninstalling and re-installing as the "administrator"...that should should solve your issue.

[michaelxxx1936]

Hi Guys. Thanks for the help. I've now re-installed the programme as Administrator. I probably used the Administrator load the first time but just to be sure. Still the same pop-up though. In regard to my "User.cfg" I notice that the 'read only' box is checked but the tick is grayed-out. If I re-check this is becomes clear. Not tried the programme again yet as I wanted to let you know the outcome and await your further kind assistance.

Hi Michael,
I think that should fix it. Try running FSFO and see what happens.

[Matthew King]

Michael,

If that doesn't work, try installing FSFO to a different directory. It doesn't have to be co-located with FSX/FS2004; it searches the registry to determine the location. BTW, what OS are you using? Vista?

[michaelxxx1936]

Hi. Yes Vista. Ok so I have now re-installed to a different location but still get the message starting as --- "unhandled exception has occurred in your application" etc. Still unable to SAVE anything.

[Matthew King]

Mike,

Can you email me the debug.txt file inside your FSFO main directory? The only time I've encountered this issue was when I failed to install the app as an administrator. I am curious to determine the cause.

Also, we can try this:

1. Open notebook
2. Paste the following into it:
[Options]
dispatchmsg=1 // turns the dispatch manager on 1 on 0 off
simrwy=0 //simulates runway braking action in snow etc on 1 on 0 off
copilotice=1 // Copilot handles the ice controls 1 on 0 off
copilotseatbelts=1 // Copilot handles seat belts on 1 on 0 off
setautopilotagl=1200 //Copilot sets the feet at this AGL (ft)
disautopilotagl=500 //Copilot disengages autopilot at this AGL (ft)
disautothrottle=100 //Copilot disengages auto-throttle at this AGL (ft)
bankanglewarn=30 //Bank angle warning if aircraft exceeds this angle
gswarn=25 //Ground Speed Warning (MPH)
chklistdelay=1000 //time delayed between checklist call and response (1000 is 1 sec)
[Weather] //enter the path to your HiFi weather product
wx=C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\HiFi\AS2012\current_wx_snapshot.txt
[Addons] //enter your addons syntacs is =Addon name=path to exe file
add1=AS2012=C:\Program Files\HiFi\AS2012\AS2012_Exec.exe
add2=RC4=C:\Program Files\rcv4x\rcv4.exe
add3=VAFS5=C:\FSX\VAFS5\VAFS5.exe
add4==
add5==
add6==
add7==
add8==

3. Name the file user.cfg
4. save to your FSFO main directory.

Hi. Above text now copied into the appropriate file but regret still unable to get the programme going. I sent the Debug info by email over Christmas period. Did this show anything interesting Mathew ?

[Matthew King]

Sir,

I never got the .txt file...could you resend to [e-mail]?

[Matthew King]

Mike,

I hope you're still following this thread. I think I have a work around as I was able to duplicate your issue, based on the log you sent me. Please do this:

1. Locate your FSFO directory (default is C:\Program Files\Default Company Name\FSFO)
2. Locate FSFO.exe (DO NOT USE THE SHORT CUT)
3. Right Click and select "Run As Administrator"
