Ok, I have just tried two different snapshot out of KSEA 16L from vector position and no errors on my side.
Did you try again since last time?
Cheers,

I am having this same issue with the PMDG 737NGXu. I tried saving snapshots in the air and on the ground, both leading to this sequence of events:
In the sim, a message saying:
FSiPanel : Saving Snapshot, please standby
An FSiPanel 2020 dialog box popping up saying, "Error saving your snapshot"
The only option is to click OK on the dialog box
Then the message in the sim changes to:
FSiPanel : Snapshot saved successfully, hold your brakes 2 seconds to take control
If I try to load the snapshot anyway I get the error "No Snapshot found in your Database".
I installed FSiPanel 2020 as administrator and I also run it as administrator.
Here are the last 3 lines of log.txt
Code: Select all
14.01 16:58:22 Ready to start approach :0
14.01 17:03:13 debug : FNAME : 000fsi Name : CYVR 08L 20 mile final WX : True

Thanks for looking at this. Could it be a permissions issue writing to the database?
I set Local Security Policy -> Security Options -> User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode
to Disabled
which grants permission for Users to write to the Program Files folders (and delete from them) without requiring Admin Approval
and I thought that would solve the issue but it still persists.
Edit: From a clean install there is no file called snapshots.db in the FSiPanel folder.
If I import a snapshot, snapshots.db is created.
If I try to save my own snapshot, snapshots.db is not created.

Hi,
Can you check if your file config.xml in FSiPanel directory has an entry for the PMDG 737 as below (just an example, your path might be different)
<PMDG_737_Path_V5>C:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5\PMDG\PMDG 737 NGXu</PMDG_737_Path_V5>
Regards,
J-P

Yes, it contains that exact line.
I also checked my PATH to PMDG,
C:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5\PMDG\PMDG 737 NGXu
and it is valid.
I do have another clue. I used FSiPanel to position myself on LH Vectors. Then I took a snapshot and named it mysnap.
I noticed that it deleted and then created 3 files in
C:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5\PMDG\PMDG 737 NGXu\PanelState
named
000FSI.0.rte
000FSI.fmc
000FSI.sav
And I can select 000FSI in the MCDU under Load Panel State.
However I still get the FSiPanel error message and I can't still load any snapshots from FSiPanel.
Hope this helps!
