Another Duenna foible

Me again. Two points, 1: The Realism box goes red even though the relevant boxes have been ticked. Anyway I did my flight. I went to check them afterwards, all OK. When I restarted Duenna Realism box was green!

Maybe this helps:

With FSX and P3D, duenna only has access to configuration values from the previous flight. Weird, but true. So it's best to make one flight with the sim configured correctly (realism, weather, etc.), so that when the race starts, the thing will read these settings correctly.

I did notice that there was another error reported in the text file, that duenna could not access the sim's configuration file. Not sure what that's about, but if you're getting "green duennas" I wouldn't worry about it. Everything else looks ok.
 
Ron,

It looks like at the time of duenna starting up something had blocked access to your FSX.cfg. The blocking and the red boxes, because the cfg couldn't be read, happened all at the same time. Why? Absolutely no clue. :upset:

One other problem you may have had is a loss of internet connection too. Notice where you ended up in this upper google map. Lat 0 Lon 0 - Not a big deal as the the duenna output showed correctly.
 
Thanks gents. Regarding the access to the fsx.cfg aspect, I did enter the path to it in the box but I don't recall doing it in a previous installation of Duenna. Is it obligatory?

EDIT: I've just noticed that there is a new file next to the .cfg. FSX.cfg.tmp. I'm guessing that Duenna makes a copy then reads from that. That would explain much. :)

No. IIRC we did that last year for testing in a P3D environment, that was prior to Eamonn updating Duenna

Just sparked up FSX and Duenna - Me no have a .tmp :)
 
Excellent! All that's left is to light the tires and kick the fires... :)
 
One last thing.(Promise) In the rules about realism Unlimited fuel=Unchecked Crash detection=enabled Realism sliders=Full right and Aircraft stress causes damage=enabled. Nowhere is collision with aircraft mentioned (that I could see) I don't have that enabled and get a green Duenna realism box. Am I good to go?

Don't need collisions with other planes turned on. Even in the RTW Race we recommend that be turned off, so that bumping into other players online will not be a hazard... We should have put that in the rules. sorry about that!
