Pilot 1 must have aircraft selected? HELP!

[warboysastro]

Hi folks

I can't get Phoenix to start anymore. I was in a session, the session failed, and now I get the error message 'Pilot 1 must have aircraft selected' every time I try to restart the software. I can pick any heli or fixed wing and get that same error.

Any thoughts?

Thanks - Rob

I uninstalled the software and manualy deleted the phoenix folder and re installed and every thing is fine

Thanks for the info guys.

I emailed Phoenix support, and got a reply within the hour or so. Here's what they say:

Hi Rob

This is a rare but known issue and will be fixed in the next update. In the meantime if this occurs, you can return your simulator to working order by resetting your settings file as follows:

- open the phoenix installation folder (usually c:/program files/phoenixRC)

- open the resources/settings folder

- delete the file defaultOptions.sim (exactly as spelt here)

This should reset your settings to their default.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

[Gaza07]

Same here but re installing wasnt to bad a job

[warboysastro]

It's just a pain if you reinstall and have to do all your updates again.

The fix from the tech help people works fine...

Roll on v1.04!
