• 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.

Do you know which version of java you are using?

To find out open a command window (Start -> Run -> type 'cmd' then enter). In the command window type 'java -version'

Thanks!

>java -version
java version "1.6.0_02"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_02-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0_02-b06, mixed mode, sharing)

In light of your qeustion, I d/led an update, now I have
build 1.6.0_03-b05
but get the same results. The specific error is:
Unable to connect to FSX Planner server
Please try again later.

Tried it with firewall off, and after doing an uninstall/full install of 27b my firewall caught that is was a new program, and wrote a rule granting full access, so I am fairly sure it is not a firewall issue, unless some incoming port needs to be opened.

This might be a bug in java version 6 in how it creates urls. The 'unknown protocol e' tells me that it is trying to find a file on your driver (E) wich for some reason the jvm is failing to properly create. I have seem this behavior occasionally before, but not constantly enough to be able to sucessfully trouble shoot it. Hopefully I'll be able to do so in the future.

Adding to the Mystery

I have made posts before about my inability to update automatically from my Vista system.

After reading this post I decided to place the contents of the FSX Planner log in hopes that that may help.

Upon starting 27b and then trying to check for an update using the menu option, I then exited and grabbed the log....

Note that FSX Planner is on "D:\" Drive while the OS is on "C:\".

Java Version = 1.6.0.30

Thanks to everyone for posting the various log files. It seems that the common element is Java version 6. Hopefully this will help in finding a solution.

I'll let you know what I find. :)

Hi Russell,

did you ever manage to find out what was causing this problem? I am facing the same thing here, running Vista 32.

Thanks in advance
Jack
 
Unfortunately this bug is still on the list of things to figure out and fix. Hopefully after the next version is released it will move up the list and get fixed. Thanks for your patience though. :)
