Please make sure you uninstalled v1.0 and removed the FSDG-Bremen folder before installing the new version.

Hello,

I have also a problem with the Configurator.
Even when i uninstall Bremen en remove the FSDG Bremen folder.
The Configurator activates SODE for all the FSDG sceneries.
I don't have all the FSDG sceneries and want to de-activate SODE for these sceneries..
But when i do that the Configurator shows an error report and freezes.
I've to end it via the Task Manager.
As attachment a screenshot of the configurator at the moment that i de-activate Bangalore.
And this is the error.log

System.IO.IOException: Cannot create a file when that file already exists.

at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)
at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError()
at System.IO.File.InternalMove(String sourceFileName, String destFileName, Boolean checkHost)
at System.IO.File.Move(String sourceFileName, String destFileName)
at _FSDGScenConfig.Main.Checkbox_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e)

Thanks for pointing this out. In that case the config tool tries to disable a file that doesn't exist and crashes. We're looking into this.

Thanks for your reaction.
It's no problem for me, the FSDG sceneries i have are working well.
But the freezing of the configurator was a little bit strange.

I have had exactly the same problem and solved it in this way.

I found out that the problem is caused by some "wrong" files in the folder "12bPilot"!

1. Uninstall FSDG-SODE_link.

2. Go to the following folder "C:\ProgramData\12bPilot\SODE\xml".

3. Delete all files related to FSDG's Sceneries with the names " FSDG_SODE_xxxx..."

4. Install FSDG-SODE_link again.

Then everything should work normally again.

Dear hansi46,

That was the trick, for me it works fine now.
Many thanks!

Glad to hear it works for you now

Just to make sure we're on the same page here:

If you install our SODE link it will install SODE items for all our FSDG airports (well, for those that offer this service). If you have a scenery for one of those airports from anbother developer (wait, why should you? ) it will not match our SODE link additions. In that case you can disable our SODE content for that airport.

If the config tool crashed it's most likely a sign that you did not install the latest SODE link as the tool was looking for a file that did not exist. In that case re-install our SODE link. If everything fails follow the steps mentioned above.
