Fsbuild-2 Flight Planner

Hello all,

I purchased FSBuild a few weeks ago on the recommendation of many fellow online fliers. I've managed to set it up ok but I have some of the same problems as others have reported on the fora. I have searched
for answers but I've still got problems. I'm going to list them here as they cover different topics and I don't want to make multiple posts.

1. FSBuild Version... the "help" section says I'm using FSBuild 2.3 Version 2.3.1, Build 209. Is this the latest version ? I've seen posts stating 2.3.7.6.2 ?? If I'm not using the latest version please can someone advise me a link.

2. NAT Tracks....FSBuild is set to load them on startup and I can get the static tracks but I cant get the daily tracks to show at all. See my config below. I've put https://www.notams.jcs.mil in my "trusted sites" in IE7 so I don't get the warning message about the site's certificate.

3. Online ATC....I just get a pop up message "the parameter is incorrect".

My FSBuild config:


[FSBUILD]
AUTOREFRESH_DELAY=1
AIRCRAFT=B747-400 PMDG
SBPC_SERVER=www.vatsim.net
ROUTELINE=1
NATRAKURL=http://www.fsbuild.com/nat.html

[MS-FLIGHTSIMULATOR]
FS_HOME=C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT GAMES\FLIGHT SIMULATOR 9
SB3_FP=C:\PROGRAM FILES\SQUAWKBOX\FLIGHTPLANS
AS6=C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT GAMES\FLIGHT SIMULATOR 9\MODULES\ASV6

DISPRTEWPTSONMAP
INCL_NL_PLTINP_HDRS
WINDS_ALOFT
RVSM_FL
AUTOREFRESH_ON
APPEND_TL_DATA_TO_NAVLG
LOADNATS
LOADPATCOSWNATS

Any help in solving these problems would be greatly appreciated. I really like the program and it's brought a new dimension to my flight planning but I really would like to get it all up and running as it should be.

Thanks,

Dave.

Have now found and installed 2.3.7.6.2

After installation I was able to get the online ATC to work. However, after closing/restarting FSBuild it now wont work

I notice the SBPC Server has changed to http://www.net-flyer.net and on checking this site it said it was closed due to time constraints and gave a link to Vatsim.net.

NAT Tracks...still cant get the daily tracks to load.

My FSBuild config aftet installing 2.3.7.6.2

Any and all help greatly appreciated.

Pacots webpage is ok but the nat webpage is missing or corrupted.

http://www.fsbuild.com/pacots.html

Use this line for NATS's... for now.

NATRAKURL=http://www.fsbuild.com/nat/www.notams.jcs.mil/common/nat.html

Regarding the Online ATC, function. I suspect they've made quite a few server config changes over at vatsim
since that feature was made. I'll look into it, but were pretty limited with what can be done with that feature now.

There are definitely better tools for that out there now, like ServInfo etc.

Ernie.

Thanks for the replies gents.

Have put the new url in the config and it works. I can now get both static and daily NAT Tracks

Ernie...Regarding the online ATC function I agree as I also use Servinfo so it's not a big problem and I can live without it.

Many thanks for your help.

Regards,

Dave.
