• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

P3D v4 Simple Airport Scanner 1.70 Beta

This one gives an error pop-up box. Also cannot select FS Version other than FSX. I attached a screenshot, hope it's ok. Thanks!

Sorry, I can't replicate this at the moment. What versions of FS/P3D do you have installed? If there is a file called log.txt in the SAS folder please attach it to a post here
 
I just re-downloaded the 1.70 beta. Placed the files in a folder. Now when SAS loads, I get a popup box "SAS cannot find any FS versions". There is no log file in the SAS folder.

I am using Prepar3d v4. The P3D v4 scenery.cfg file is located at C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\scenery.cfg which is the same path specified in SAS.
 
The most likely problem is that it can't find the registry entry for P3D v4. What operating system are you using?
 
I am on Windows 10. Wouldn't the new install of P3D v4 setup the correct registry?
 
It should. ADE is looking for HKEY_Local Machine\SOFTWARE\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4 This is the same Key that the ADE 1.75 beta for P3D v4 uses and so far it seems to work.

Perhaps you can check on your machine?
 
I have that in my registry (Local Machine has an underscore in between). Also in that same location, Prepar3d v4 Content and Prepar3d v4 Scenery. The data/keys in HKEY_Local Machine\SOFTWARE\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4 are License and SetupPath.

I'm going to download ADE and see if that can find my P3D.
 
Sorry I missed the underscore. SetupPath is the one that should contain the path to your installation.

Be sure to get the ADE Version 1.75 beta to be able to check for P3D v4.
 
Hi,

I had the same issue with this new version ("SAS cannot find any FS versions") and Windows 10. this means we must install ADE Version 1.75 beta to be able to use "Simple Airport Scanner 1.70 Beta"?

No it should not mean that. However if SAS can't find the sim versions then neither should ADE since they use the same code. However if ADE does work and SAS does not then it would suggest I made some mistakes in the SAS code and if you test it for me with ADE 1.75 then that would help me see where to look for a code error
 
OK - thanks - I will check the code tomorrow and see what is going wrong. Thanks again for taking the time to check this out
 
Jon,

FWIW, I downloaded both the new ADE and SAS for P3Dv4. I have both P3Dv3 and P3Dv4 installed on my computer, both running fine. I also already had the P3Dv3 versions of ADE and SAS installed and working fine for P3Dv3.

I installed ADE 1.75 Beta in a new separate folder, ran the Wizard, and it found everything fine and works fine. Then installed SAS 1.70 Beta in it's own new folder, selected P3Dv4 for it in the dropdown menu, and it runs fine with no error messages.

Both products worked fine "out of the box" for me, as they appear to do for you too. It doesn't seem to be a coding error in SAS or I assume I would have gotten the same errors reported above for at least SAS Beta.

Just my observations.

@FalconAF
Well this is interesting. Can you check your SAS -> Help -> "About" info? This is what my 1.70 Beta shows:

Versions:
Application 01.07.0.0
Engine 04.75.6366.19704

I don't get anything in the "FS Version" dropdown menu. It is blank.

Thanks...
 
That is correct as far as versions are concerned. How many different versions of FS and P3D do you have on the computer with SAS? I can't see anything wrong with the code so far
 
OK - I have found the problem :oops: Silly error on my part - I will fix it today. I think it will only affect people who just has P3D v4 installed.
 
Ah yeah, I did not specify but I reinstall everything from zero and have only P3D V4, so that could be the issue. Sorry for that.
But if you found the problem, that's great!
