ABOUT
SUPPORT
If you have any kind of problems with this software contact me via the e-mail account: apeciko@gmail.com or
with a X-Plane org Forum PM. The log file which is located inside the log folder must be including with your
support request, if the file is not empty.
RELEASE
With 1.11 the non visible code are overhauled or new written. A new database management system is
integrated and both themes are change. It also includes the A340 and partial the B757-300.
If you have use a previous Version as 1.11 a full migration is needed. Follow the intruction on the migrate page
KNOWING BUGS
Window Start Position on multiple screens. It could be displayed on the wrong screen.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENT
INSTALLATION
Extracted the zip file for your system into an folder with full write/read access.
The final step is to follow the steps on the database page
Open a terminal/console window and type ldd --version and you will seen on the first row the glibc version
which is installed on your system:
ldd (GNU libc) X.XX
Open a terminal/console window where the airplanetoolbox file is located and typing chmod +x
airplanetoolbox and execute it. After that you can click on this file and the program will be started.
On newer macOS versions the security rules are stronger and none apple register devolopers application are
blocked. If you get a security alert message you can make a exception rule for my application. Hold the ctrl
and with a right mouse click on the airplanetoolbox start file a context menu should be now open. If you click
on open macOS doesn't alert you again.
Full Migration
- Copy all custom profiles into the new major version custom profiles folder.
- If you have a aiport database wich is created with Version 1.8-1.10.x than don't delete the older version. You
can migrate it to version 1.11 and above.
Start the migrate tool with the migrate starter file. Drag and drop the old database file airports.mv.db from db/
airports into the drop zone and the migration tool copy the old data to the new format.
Incremental Migration
To migrate to a new incremental version like 1.10.x open the migration tool and drop the update zip file into
the drop zone and the migrate tool doing all the boring stuff for you.
WINDOWS
You can start the software with an double click of the airplanetoolbox.bat file.
You can start the software with an double click of the airplanetoolbox shell file.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The most Errors are logged into the logfile which can be found inside the log folder. But it does give some
other Errors which does only show in an terminal/cmd window. If you ran into those Errors you don't see an
error dialog and you need open the application with an terminal/cmd and make a Screenshot
(STRG+ALT+PRINT) of this error and send the screenshot and logfile to me.
Example:
You have pressed the calc button and no output data is displayed, then a runtime error has occurred.
On Windows computers open a command prompt or a power shell window inside the installation folder and
drag and drop the airplanetoolbox.sh file into this window.
On Linux click on the airplanetoolbox file with the right mouse button and on the context menu you see an
entry open in console/terminal. Click on this entry and the application will be open with an temrinal window
On macOS, drag the airplanetoolbox file over the terminal dock symbol and release the mouse button.
