hi people

i have started a little project to get me used to programming as i have applied to do computing at university.

anyway, i am creating a FSX.cfg editor and i need people to test it for me as i go along to see if certain components work

http://rapidshare.com/files/80154840/FS ... 2.zip.html

here is the first beta, please download it and tell me if it loads your FSX.cfg

thankyou

Yep, it loaded my FSX.cfg

excellent

are you running XP?

now if anyone else has downloaded it can you please say if it worked or not

it loaded mine too, i'm running xp sp2

Kermit:  sorry to sound like a Grinch, but there is a good free fsx.cfg editor available from, I think, FSTweaks, which I have used almost since FSX came on to the market.

It provides a neat little windowed utility if you are just changing a parameter, or allows the full page to open if you want to insert or remove lines.

have you built a better mousetrap?

mac be a grinch all you like, i dont realy care if a program already exists for this, but like i said, im makeing this to get myself use to programming again as i have applied to start Computing Courses at University in 9months and its been a while since i have even touched any programming Language.

My program will let you select recomended tweeks and it also includes a feature to view the fsx.cfg so you can insert other lines that have not been featured. Also mac maybe  if you downloaded the program and tried it yourself you might get a feel for how the program will eventualy end up.

this was mainly created for my use but i will release it on Simv and Avsim, i hate it when tweeking my FSX.cfg i have to keep navigating to my hidden FSX folder, i could just create a short cut on my desktop but that wouldny get me back into programming would it now.

i would be very grateful if someone in vista could try this program so i can see if it works in vista

thanks
Kermit

EDIT: you will need .Net Framwork 2.0 for this file to work.

excellent

are you running XP?

Yes I run XP sp2

ok thank you

Well said Kermit.

I have Vista, but I am away from my machine - and they call holidays happy, how can they be when you can't Sim)

I will try it at the end of this week.

Mmm  :-/ there have to be  a way to make it work out for any MS O/S in other lenguages

thanks alrot you have confirmed one of my suspicions, i am going to look into added multi-lingual support

i have made alot of headway with this today, and i should have a fully working version in a few days, and hopefully with multi language support.

If i cant get the multi-language thing working as i hope i can, i will just add a "opendialog" to the startup so you can navigate to the .cfg

cheers again alrot

It opened mine fine. I am using Vista Ultimate 32bit.

Hey man.  If you've been following my FSWC project, which I don't think you have been, I also had a multi-lingual problem, as Alrot can tell you.  However, I have by-passed it.  How?

Environment Variables

I don't know what language you are programming in, but find a way to read environment variables, because they are the same for all Windows systems, and they return strings of exactly what you want, e.g. UserProfile returns (for example) C:\Documents and Settings\Ashton Lawson\

Or ApplicationData returns C:\Documents and Settings\Ashton Lawson\Application Data\

and it changes even with language.  Hope that helps.  Have fun with your project.

im doing this in Visual basic 08

currently using

Code: Select all

C:\Documents and Settings\" & Environment.Username & "\Application Data


so how did you get over the problem? can you also do Environment.Documents??

cheers
