Corrupted file

[FireRescue85]

Well, something went sideways with my program. B17 was working fine until I loaded up a flight today. Now, whenever I load the plane its completely destroyed, as in nearly every component is broken. I do a complete overhaul and it's fixed...until the next flight, same issues. I've tried deleting all files and doing a clean install, but nothing seems to work. Is there a file I'm missing that needs to be deleted to give you a 'new' aircraft? (Airframe with 0 hours, etc.).

A2A stores your plane data files here;
< C:\Users\~username~\Documents\A2A\FSX\B17 >

I run a batch file to start my game. The first operation it does is to back up all my data files for A2A planes. I would recommend creating a file to do the same or manually do this often. For now you can delete, or rename, your B17log.dat file and then start the game and you should have a brand new plane.

Good luck Sir.

Also after you did the reinstall did you rerun the latest updater? If so did you manually delete the update before you ran the updater? If not I would try the following. Go to your sim root folder:

.../A2A/B-17/update

And delete the update folder. Then run the updater again.

Those the simulator give you a simconnect message? Maybe your simconnect install got corrupted!?

Fantastic, thanks guys! Was able to find the log and delete it, and then re in stalled the updater which solved the issue. I'm not sure why it wasn't overwriting the log when I would overhaul it, but creating a new one seem's to help! Well, it looks like I'll have to plan a long trip to get the hours back on the plane.

Nice! Glad the Fortress is working again!

Happy flying
