Phil,

Can you post your .bat file? Obfuscate your location if you wish. I assume you have specified a file location for a basestation.sqb type file? D:\temp\dbase\basestation.sqb for example. Is that file being used by another program at the same time?

this is my .bat file

@echo off
C:\Users\phat01\Desktop\modesdeco2\modesdeco2.exe --gain 49.6 --freq-correction 64 --location 50.3830:-4.8799 --web 8080 --db C:\basestation.sqb --frdb C:\COAA\PlanePlotter\Log files\flightroute.sqb --silhouettes C:\COAA\PlanePlotter\Image files\logo's --pictures C:\Users\phat01\Dropbox\Plane's --msg 30003 --beast 30005 --filter-dup --disable-correction
PAUSE
exit

hope that helps

I'm not 100% but you might like to try enclosing the folder paths in double quotes as I see you have a space in 'Log files' and 'Image files' so perhaps try:

--frdb "C:\COAA\PlanePlotter\Log files\flightroute.sqb" --silhouettes "C:\COAA\PlanePlotter\Image files\logo's" --pictures "C:\Users\phat01\Dropbox\Plane's"

What do you see in the ModeSDeco2 web browser when you type the following into the address bar:

{IP address of your PC}:8080

127.0.0.1:8080 might work as well.

Tim

[phat01]

a nice modesdeco page with all the stats, pages, maps and so on just no planes.....

[Triple7]

Are you sure your dongle is functioning properly. Have you carried out the Zadig driver substitution?

as far as i know it is...... i put rtl1090 on with it instead and works great, lots of planes..... 

will keep having a go with it and see what i can mess with lol


right dunno what i did but it seems to be working now 

cheers for the help much appreciated

Should be no need to put file paths in "" if no spaces in the path. Only needed for example with 'C:\Program Files\.......' where there is a space between 'Program' and 'Files' since batch files originate from DOS where spaces were not allowed (and therefore not understood).

For anyone reading this for future reference, to troubleshoot complex batch files try taking out all the options until the basics work.

So start with your equivalent of:

@echo off
C:\[your file location]\modesdeco2\modesdeco2.exe --gain 49.6 --location xx.xxxx:-yy.yyyy --web 8080

and then (as suggested by Triple7) try typing the following into the web browser address bar: {IP address of your PC}:8080.

127.0.0.1:8080 might work as well.

Once that is working start to add the options  If not working it reduces the possibilities to find the problem.

funny thing is it works great on win8.1 but fails on win7 everytime tis very odd but at least i got it working on one of my machines
