XPilot is open but doesn't show up #180

Closed Birbsayshennlo closed 8 months ago

Birbsayshennlo commented 9 months ago

If I open XPilot it opens but I see nothing. I have tried lots of older versions but nothing worked.(BTW, Why are all the available versions betas?) I'm using the Beta 49 version with a 2023 MacBook pro.

Try resetting the window coordinates in the config file. Find the AppConfig.json file in ~/Library/Application Support/org.vatsim.xpilot/. Open the file with a text editor and find the WindowConfig section. Change the X and Y values to 0. Save and close the config file and try opening xPilot again.

musabhamid commented 8 months ago

it says xpilot is open on macOS but does not show up? i have the latest everything.

justinshannon commented 8 months ago

I’m not sure, usually resetting the config file fixes it.

Can you try deleting the AppConfig.json file instead (you’ll have to reconfigure your network credentials and audio devices)? Make sure xPilot is closed before you do this.

musabhamid commented 8 months ago

I’m not sure what a config file is or any of what you just said. I searched it up. But I get nothing. I use macOS. And it’s annoying becuase iv been wanting to hop on the server for 3 days now. I’m in love with that game, so it really really bugs me out that I can’t connect.

See a few comments up. I provided steps on how to find (and edit) the AppConfig file, which you replied "it does not work. any other way?".

musabhamid commented 8 months ago

Delete the AppConfig.json and try again. Then report back with your results.

musabhamid commented 8 months ago

No luck. look at the top. it says in white "Xpilot" and down under the icon there's a dot. white dot indicating xpilot is on. but there is no window I can access. i deleted Appconfig.json. but it was named config.json or something like that i can't remember. still no luck. i reinstalled no luck. don't know what now.

  1. Open Finder on your Mac, and click "Go" on the Apple menu bar.

  2. Select "Go to Folder" or press the key combination "Shift + Command + G".

  3. Type the path ~/Library/Application Support/org.vatsim.xpilot in the search box and press your Return key.
