hi,

when i launch the flynet client, it say that a new version is avaible and if i want to autoupdate it... but when i click 'yes', nothing hapens... if i click no to download it manually, nothing happens too... maybe you should redirect to the download forum page... but, i can't find the new client version in the forum topic dedicated...

so.. how can i fly tonight. i have 206 passengers that waiting for me and i don't want to give their money back...

Same for me tried to update by using autoupdate, message returned to reload. still not working. may i ask where can i manually download the new client program.
might it be possible to have either the auto reload program or do it yourself. i would prefer the do it yourself mode.

many thanks charles

You are not alone...
I am sat at Toronto with a planeload of passengers (already on their second free drink ) .

I've not used autoupdate before so don't know exactly how it works (though I have noticed a "prefetch file" appear for FlyNet in my Windows\prefetch folder, so maybe a reboot is needed?), but as you say the usual "Get It Here" forum message still has the old 0.6b client.

I shall leave my plane and its getting-steadily-drunker passengers on pause overnight and see if things can be resolved first thing tomorrow before I have to go and do the real-world job I pretend to love.

Just replace the old flynet.exe with this one.

Thank you very much, Konny

But alas, it still uses 50% CPU when idle....

hey, daKurt's post in the news says that it's 0.6.1b, but when you go to download it shows as 0.6b...

Konny, just to help us all, as the file that works isnt where it normally is, could you update the link in the client post in news section to link to a zip folder with all the correct files in> that would be much appreciated!

I found a work-around to enable the autoupdate function...I'll be back shortly

OK this worked for me:

Search for the file autoupdate.exe it should reside in the same directory as the flyNET client together with 3 other files:

flynet_setup.stp
libmysql.dll
log.out

Open up a command prompt, and switch to the drive where these files reside.

Using your mouse: drag the autoupdate.exe into the command prompt window and hit ENTER.

If you have Windows firewall enabled you might receive a warning, press unblock and there you go, the program will open a ftp connection to the FlyNET site, download the update and give you the choice of starting the client or simply exit form the command window.

It seems as though the program has to be run with security restrictions applied, or is dependant of either .NET FW 1.1 or 2.0 (I have both installed) It works on my machine but didn't on John's this evening, we'll give it a try again tomorrow (He got "The system cannot execute the specified program")

Hmmm I think my problem is here
I don't have flynet_setup.stp file in the directory. Actually it wasn't also in the zip file of previous client.

that's correct. The flynet_setup.stp file is downloaded by the autoupdate.exe program. You don't need it to run the autoupdate...

Well normally, when you hit the yes button a black console should appear. Could there be problem with XP starting a console application? I really don't know...I use it too and it works. Is there any autoupdate.exe open in the taskmanager?

But next time I'll additionally post a link to the new version in the forum. So everyone can get it here if the autoupdate fails.


Sorry for the problems guys

Hi DaKurt

This could very well be the issue here, Security policies might apply when running and exe.

If I start the autoupdate.exe manually a security warning pops up That should be handled within the Client. or one should apply lesser security on that specific file....

Or as an alternative you could handle the ftp function within the Client instead of using an external application...many ways, same solution
