X-FMC an PilotEdge

[AtomicFrawg]

All,

I ran across an issue with X-FMC and PilotEdge were x-fmc was crashing. It was outputting an FMOD error so I contacted the Dev (Max) of X-FMC.

We went through the folders and he explained what FMOD error was. We found that the sound in X-FMC was not being loaded and was crashing due to the fact it could not call a sound file. So we did a bit of back tracking. Its also worthy to note they use the latest version of fmodex64.dll. (11/13/13)

I remembered that when I first jumped on pilotedge, I no longer heard the X-FMC callouts at the start of X-Plane. So we started looking there.
What we found is that PilotEdge is using an older version of the fmodex64.dll(6/10/2010). X-plane is calling up the older dll first and will not allow the new dll to load, which is causing an issue with x-fmc.
I then tried to move the newer version of the dll to pilotedge so see if that work. That ended as a No Go but X-FMC worked and PilotEdge failed to load up.

So right now, I have to pull one plugin out of the plugin folder depending on what I am doing for the day. I hope this can be easily resolved as X-FMC is a great program and is used a lot over the stock xplane FMC.

Feel free to contact me Keith, if you any questions or need my help to test.

When we swap to the new version of the voice library (will be needed for the Mac 64-bit plugin), this should take care of itself.
