Hello and greetings from Holland
After a trial of X-Plane 11, I decided to go for the real-game. I did buy the download because I think the use of DVD's will disapear in the near Future. Download and installing didn't give me any problem.
After about 30 years of FlightSimulator from Microsoft, there was a lot to learn. I did look also at the file structure of X-Plane. Its quite different, but after a while I get used to it.
There is a possibility, that I have done something with the file: "X-Plane Pilot.txt". It did look to me like a normal *.txt - file, but later on, I became aware of the fact, that this is the place were you can find a history of the flights that were made!
Every time of making a flight it is placed at the bottom of it.
Some time after that, I did get problems after each update.
The problem was receiving a message of problems with the file:
"X-Plane Pilot.txt". The message was the following;
BE ADVISED
__________________________________________________________________
ouf_open: We are getting a file string that is not X-System relative!
This is illegal! All paths must be X-System relative!
The path in question is:
E:\X-Plane/X-Plane 11/Output/logbooks/X-Plane Pilot.txt
(FILE_ops.cpp:1274)
__________________________________________________________________
I did not understand the meaning of the message. I clicked it away and the program started fine and flying was possible. Later on, I decided to remove the "X-Plane Pilot.txt". Each time I used the program, there was made a new file, so I did thought to have found a solution.
That was it, until the last update. First I got the message:
BE ADVISED
__________________________________________________________________
The file could not be saved. Check that the directory still exists
and is not flagged read-only.
E:\X-Plane\X-Plane 11/Output/logbooks/X-Plane Pilot.txt
The file may be flagged as read-only.
Change the permission on the file so it's not read-only, or
create the folder listed in the file path.

Understood
I did look at the Properties of the file and yes it was 'read only'.
I did undo the 'read only' and restarted the game.
It started fine, until I did choose a plane. Direct after that I do get the next announcement:
BE ADVISED
__________________________________________________________________
ouf_open: We are getting a file string that is not X-System relative!
This is illegal! All paths must be X-System relative!
The path in question is:
E:\X-Plane/X-Plane 11/Output/logbooks/X-Plane Pilot.txt
(FILE_ops.cpp:1334)

Understood
The number '1274' changed in '1334' and I saw the new word 'Understood'. The only option left is to click on 'Understood'.
But that ends the program! It repeats at loading again!
Is there an other solution of this problem than reinstalling the hole game?
Anyone would make me happy with a suitable solution.
I would like to thank you for the demo's, that you organised in
Holland in Lelystad. I was present in at least two of them.
The game has begoming a real good FlightSimulator and I like flying
with it very much. Thnx.
My attention is to send the pictures of the announcements, the 'log.txt' and png-files and one of the "X-Plane Pilot.txt"-files.
