Military AI Works

I have reloaded all of my FSDS program and files after my HD crash but I'm still having a few issues. I know there is a way to configure FSDS3.5 to pause during compiling so that you can set any options but I can't remember how to do it. Can someone please help? I think Kev and/or Nick showed me how way back when.

Thanks

Hey Jake,

move MakeMdlAircraftParms.txt file to any other name,
you can find it on the main FSDS install folder.

Got it Rysiek! Thanks! I knew it was something simple.

Now I just have to recreate all of my xml codes that I lost also and I'll be back in business.

Oh brother, that sounds like a ton of work. Did you ever check out any of the automated backup programs that are out there?

Oh yeah, am waiting on a recovery operation thats supposed to be able get almost all of my files back.

I had backed up all of my .fsc and.fsp files but forgot to backup my misc stuff. I am backing up everything manually now but would like to know what others use for auto. I have been referred to Norton Ghost but its kind of pricey ( of course its cheap compared to having all of your files restored even if its possible).


One more question: I can't get my MakeMDL.part file to save any changes. Before, I opened it with notepad, edited it with xml codes and then closed and saved, but now its saying it can't save that file type or something. Am I missing something here? Do I need to change the file type or something?

Thanks

The full name of the file is MakeMDL.parts.xml , youa re not trying to save it as MakeMDL.parts by mistake are you?

Jake,

Acronis TrueImage is a very capable and useful program. It is easy to operate and works image based. Maybe you want to have a look at the trial version which you can download from their web site.

Jake this is what I use, best part, it's freeware.

Look under the "Freeware" section for the free version.

Thanks for the back-up links guys.

I'm still having trouble with my Makemdl file. When I try to save any changes here is what I get when I click 'yes' when asked if I want to save the changes:





and then:



and then:



I can't remember if I changed something in the way the file is saved but I don't remember having this problem before.

Thanks

Jake,
When you save it you have to alter the "Save as type:" from 'Text Documents' to 'All Files', otherwise it will automatically add a '.txt' to the end, and the problem is that there are too many dots. I think.

Still no joy on this one. When I change to: "save as type: all files", I still get the message: "This file exists with Read Only attributes. Please use a different file name"



This is driving me crazy. Until I solve it, I can't compile any model that has xml coding (which is every model I have)

If anyone out there has any ideas, I'd love to try them.

Thanks,

Hey guys, sorry for all the fuss. I think I fixed it by making it not "read only" Why didn't I think of that in the first place

Thanks for the help anyway.

Just glad its sorted, Jake.
