Realflight G2 error.
 

Hi all,

Im not sure this is the correct forum branch, but ill try anyway. :)

When I try to start Realflight G2, First it start with "The joystyick driver will now be automatically installed". When that supposedly finnishes, it caughs up an error stating:

Error: DIERR_UNPLUGGED
File: L:\kelib2\DirectX\DXDirectInput.cpp
Line: 309

Ive got my joystick plugged in and ready.
It did work once, a while ago.. Even the music of the sim allready plays, during this error... [:@]


Does someone know whats going on here?[:o]

RE: Realflight G2 error.
 

I don't know about your problem, but there is a simulator forum, maybe you should try there.
Good luck.

Oops, missed it. Sorry folks.

RE: Realflight G2 error.
 

That sounds like a direct x error.

What version of direct X are you using.

I seem to recall that you have to have at least v8.??

RE: Realflight G2 error.
 

Wich I do. 9b even.

RE: Realflight G2 error.
 

Go to control panel and check for the latest updates.

If I remember a couple of years ago, I got a similar error and it turned out to be a graphics
error on my graphics card.

Updating cured the problem.

If not call Mary at Realflight help. She's GOOD.

RE: Realflight G2 error.
 

Im running the newest detonators for my nvidia ti4600. So I guess outdated drivers are out of the question.
Im not planning on spending money on a intercontinental phone call, so I guess my line ends here, unless someone comes up with a solution. [:o]

Diagnose Direct X

From Windows

Start - Run - (type in) dxdiag and follow the bouncing ball.

What Happens??

RE: Realflight G2 error.
 

What ball? You mean the Dx tests with the bouncing square? They all run propperly.

RE: Realflight G2 error.
 

Which version of G2 are you trying to install.

RE: Realflight G2 error.
 

RealFlight G2: 2.00.219

RE: Realflight G2 error.
 

I'm guessing that your probably running under windows XP.

That version doesn't work, you need at least version 2.00.594

Now you MIGHT be able to run it by telling XP that you want to run it under Win 98.

Right click on the icon in desktop.
select properties.
select compatibility mode.

That about all that I can help you with.
Otherwise the long distance call.

RE: Realflight G2 error.
 

In compatability mode it doesnt seem to bother with the error anymore, but now it squacks about the joystick not working, and advicing me to do something in the programs menu. But when I click OK, it just bogs out.. Im seriously considdering aerofly pro....

RE: Realflight G2 error.
 

Go to:

Start - Control Panel - Joystick

Select the proper joystick (or Controller) and then calibrate it in here first.

Then go back to G2 and select and calibrate it in G2.

What happens now.

RE: Realflight G2 error.
 

I could do that... If G2 ran at ALL.. [:@] It doesnt even start up, it just gives me a very unclear error, then it just knackers off.. [:o]

RE: Realflight G2 error.
 

..............pppppppppsssssssttttttt...........af p is cooler.

RE: Realflight G2 error.
 

It sure is! Well.. The software.. The price is insanely nuts.. What are those people who make this stuff thinking? That theire simulator is something incredibly complex? Its just a porked up game engine for crying out loud..

Ive bought this G2 piece of crap offa Ebay with a smashed up controller (The goof jammed it up the pivot side of a door, and slammed it shut, somehow[&:]) for a dollar and a dime anyway. No huge expences lost. I'll see if aerofly is any better. Does it come with a stoneage gameport controller aswell?

RE: Realflight G2 error.
 

From Windows:

Start - Control Panel - Joystick

Select the proper joystick (or Controller) and then calibrate it in here first.

Then go back and see if G2 will now start
Then select and calibrate in G2 (if it starts)

You neglected to mention that your controller was smashed and chances are nothing
will make it work.

RE: Realflight G2 error.
 

Well, ive heared that it works with a normal joystick aswell, so i dont need that smashed one?

RE: Realflight G2 error.
 

I think that you need the controller to make it work.
I've been wrong before!!

RE: Realflight G2 error.
 

Wasnt it reflex and aerofly wich use dongle things? Isnt it perty useless for a sim to have regular joystick support, if there must be a controller with built in dongle present?
