What does Galen mean when he wrote "

Make sure that .jar file as associated to "Java Platform SE binary", otherwise it doesn't work." in post 200?

To directly open a non executable files (word, excel, photo, movie, ecc) the file type (the extensions like .doc, .txt or .jar) must be associated with a specific application capable of opening that file. In windows of course there are default file type associations for common files, and when installaing new software like Java JRE new associations are created automatically.

When you double click on a file windows start the associated application and with that opens your file.

Usually if you can't open a specific file type by double click, something happens with the association. Java applications (.jar files) are associated to "Java Platform SE binary" (the program file is javaw.exe). So if your .jar files are correctly associated to javaw.exe (the java installer should configure it for you) using a shortcut like:

 

"E:\DCS World Software\Leavu\LEAVU2.jar" -preset "Presets/G3 - Capt Z sidebyside"

 

simply works, otherwise you should specify directly the software like sobe did:

 

start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_74\bin\javaw.exe" -jar "D:\F15leavu\Leavu Client\Leavu\LEAVU2.jar" -preset Presets/sidebyside

 

There may be similar problems when you have multiple java versions (32bit and 64bit).

You can change the file association by right click on the file, "Open with" and select the software you want, for example for .jar file should be "Java Platform SE binary" from the list.

Yes, finally :)

I have a question, I don't have any frame rate drop with my pc configuration, but I notice that the gauges from Helios always has a delay and their measures are not accurate. Is it normal?

Are you on the same PC or networked to a second PC?

Leavu Misbehavin!

 

Running Win7 64bit.

Up to date version of Java 32 bit!!!

 

Anyone have any suggestions to get LeavuEri_2.1 working on Steam based FC3? However, I also have A-10C module as stand alone, so how does Leavu, determine the path to the app? I understand the export folder is in the app saved games subfolder for stand-alone, does Steam and Stand-alone module share the export.lua file?

 

For me Leavu starts only displays three available instruments:

MFD

HUD

ADI

 

After clicking "No Frame" a moveable sizable window pops up, after positioning and sizing the "Add" button doesn't appear to do anything, no active window appears.

 

I tried running as Administrator but the result was the same, as normal user.

 

I suspect a path problem or older version of Java perhaps.

 

Appreciate any help.
