GIT 1.6.4.0 XPX problems

SlayerSlayer
in GoFlight Interface Tool - Technical Support
Hey Steve. I updated to 1.6.4.0  but now I'm getting a bunch of errors with my IXEG profile and GIT is removing parts of the bespoke events so I can't actually see what was in there before unless I open the exported .xml files I can't seem to figure out what is wrong now when it was working before. Tried removing the profile and reimporting etc but the result is the same.

    This is the code from the .xml file:

     <Event

    Hi Steve,

    Has there been a recent IXEG update that may have changed the DataRefs? I'm asking because the .4 release was only some minor changes that did not alter the save/load/import/export code at all.

    Best wishes

    Steve

    Something strange is going on because GIT can no longer see the datarefs I had referenced in those events that are erroring.

     But if i use DRT or DRE the datarefs are still there,  yet they do not show in detective with the "monitor DRE private datarefs enabled". Specifically their datarefs that end with a _act (actuator dealing with the button animation etc ) are invisible to GIT and it throws an error because it can no longer find them.

    Keep in mind I wasn't using DRT or DRE at the same time. Only to verify if the datarefs were stiill present because GIT can no longer see them.

    I'm stumped.

    If they are listed in Datarefs.txt in the aircraft directory can you email me the file so I can see what happens when it loads.

    Thx

    Steve

    PS: Also check the log and see if those Datarefs are causing an error. If so, give me the error code.

    I don't use that dataref it can't monitor in the log , the log is truncating the full dataref name which is listed in the DreDatarefs.txt. The full name of the dataref is ixeg/733/lighting/light_main_pilot_side

    Another weird thing is on the status page of GIT the DataRefs.txt  and DREdatarefs.txt have the red X next to them even though the files are there 

    here is the datarefs.txt

    Hi Steve,

    Is the Flight Factor 777 giving you green ticks against DataRefs.txt etc and also do you have multiple X-Plane installations/copies?

    Thx

    Steve

  • SlayerSlayer
    It's a single install. Yes the datarefs.txt does show the green checkmark for the FF 777, no errors onb that aircraft.

    Hi Steve,

    I have followed the code through and it appears the DataRefs.txt has some random spaces at the end of some of the lines. This is triggering a bug in the code which I have now fixed.

    I'll release a new version in a hour or so for you to try.

    Best wishes

    Steve

  • admin_ppsadmin_pps

    Ok Steve, new version is available for download from your account. Let me know how you get on.

    Thx

    Steve

  • SlayerSlayer
    Great. I'll give it a try and report back. Thx for the support.
