Fails to start

[sand canyon]

Hi Everyone, just wondering if you guys have heard of a problem where Mobi won't start with the desk top icons, I have to go into the Mobi folder to start the program? Probably something I'm doing but just wanted to ask.
Thanks,

If your are starting from a link, I think you need to specify the starting folder to be the same where MFConnector.exe is installed

I actually start msfs2020, Fsuipc, Fsltl and Mobiflight from a single batch file. Each program is invoked with the start command.

I see you asked something similar a couple of weeks ago.

My answer is the same

Good morning! The shortcut link was created by the Mobiflight installer, right?

[sleek spade]

Ahh, is that so? I never use the installer so I wouldn't know.

Hello yes it was created by the installer, I think I am having some memory issues not sure why but maybe it is stopping me loading programs?

[sleek spade]

Is your issue solved?

[sand canyon]

no sir

Just a thought: are you sure it's a shortcut and you haven't put the mobiflight file directly on your desktop?
I've done that a few times and it won't open unless it's a single file

[sand canyon]

Yes I just dragged the file to the desktop could not find the create shortcut option, if that's the problem im very happy. I'm installing a new copy of fs tonight with nothing in it to see if the ctds stop.

single file?

Are you on windows? If so, you can simply right click on the mobiflight file and click "create shortcut." Then if you drag that shortcut to the desktop instead of the mobiflight file itself it may work better

If you just dragged the mfconnector.exe file to your desktop then it won't work. It needs all the supporting files that come with it to be available. you need to make a shortcut instead, as Catalyst mentions.

[sleek spade]

to create a desktop shortcut, you drag with the right mouse button, not the left button. Windows will open a context menu with the create shortcut option.
