"I need your help. This is my first FSACARS flight to test it with the n°5555 as pilot ( according to the Pilot Manual). It's probably my fault, but each time I end the test flight and I want to accept the flight in the FSACARS window ""Flight Summary"", I get this message ""Inconnu"" (Unknown) with a red cross. Here is the log file. Is there some thing wrong? Thanks for your help.

"hawkeyeted, Thanks for the quick reply. I'll check my ini file. It's probably this line (french version): FSFPPath=C:\Documents and Settings\Administrateur\Mes documents\Fichiers Flight Simulator Thanks again François"

"No way to use the FSACARS. I tried again and again, but I'm gonna give up. I thought the ini file was good, but there is something I don't understand. I read the posts in the FSACARS forum, but I don't find the reason. If someone can help me.

Salut François! Did you read these documents? [attachmentid=671] [attachmentid=672] I have been using FSAcars for 6 months without problems. I need to step out but will look at your ini file when I get back home later today.
