RefreshGUIFromFlightPlan.RefreshGhosts when clicking Freeflight

Post by apieper » Mon May 11, 2020 5:25 am

Hello,
I've downloaded the latest 2 patches, including today's 2.1.3, and was able to fly a long task, serve (using dedicated server) and fly the task, then leave, shutdown dedicated server, then run the USNS competition successfully;
Now that I wanted to do something quick, when I hit "Free Flight", I get this error dialog box.
It won't get into freeflight at all, just falls back to the main menu.
Any ideas?

Maybe your last .ftr is corrupted. Move all .ftrs to a different folder and try again.


And do a virus scan... W7 is not supported anymore.

I get this a lot; I tend to save the flight track with a descriptive name, but even if I don't I usually get this.

Sometimes Condor will "hang" claiming it can't write to LastTrack.ftr at the end of the flight. Tonight that cost me submitting a long flight on USNS... grr... These two seem to be related. In this case there was only a LastTrack.ftr from another flight. That is certainly a valid ftr, as far as I know.

I'm running Windows 10, and it's up-to-date.

Move the content of the Flighttrack folder to an archive folder and check your harddisk/ssd for errors.
