Hi,
is there any way to verify whether the STMA Auto Updater is really working? Like a version number or something like that? Any obvious changes in the model or textures I can check for?
I re-downloaded and installed the base package, and from time to time there is a popup "STMA Auto Updater enabled", but I suspect its not actually working. I never witnessed any update so far.
I'm on Arch Linux with X-Plane 11 (Steam).
The plane is great as it is, but if there are any improvements, I sure want to have them!

I have that same auto-update problem on Ubuntu 18.04. I bought the DC3 file at X-Plane.org and not VSkyLabs. The log file says "error while loading shared libraries: libcurl.so.4".
The solution is to install libcurl4 ( Ubuntu installs libcurl3 by default).

Thank you for your reply!
I have curl installed though, 32bit also. So theres's probably something else still missing. Could you give me a hint as to where to find that log you mentioned?

Alas, my answer was too fast : after installing libcurl 4, I have another problem : "version `CURL_OPENSSL_3' not found (required by ./Aircraft/Payware Aircraft/VSKYLABS DC-3 C-47 Flying Lab Project AU/STMAClientLin)" .
I launch X-Plane11 from a terminal under Ubuntu, and these error messages appear in the terminal when I close X-Plane. I hope Mr Huss can help us!

Hi guys  Main development station is Ubuntu 18.04 (not a clean install but a 16.04 upgrade to 18.04). Everything works fine here though. So I am trying to understand, can you observe/verify this flow: 1-X-Plane is running. 2-The DC-3 is loading correctly. 3-The STMA update window is appearing on the left side of the screen. 4-Is it saying running an update? 5-Are you seeing "reload aircraft"? 6-Are you seeing a message saying that the aircraft is updated with version v2.7b2.3 Please let me know in which stage your process is not as described, so I could proceed with direction for how to resolve it. |

The aircraft loads fine and is usable. There is a small stripe showing "STMA Auto Updater enabled" to the left of the screen every now and then (maybe triggered by going to the menu). There is no other information. Especially no dedicated update window.

Ok. First step is to install a fresh DC-3 aircraft. You can simply unzip the downloaded file. Make sure to move your current DC-3 folder to other location, lets say to the desktop, so only the fresh one will be existing in X-Plane aircraft folder. Now, restart X-Plane and load the aircraft. Please advice if the stages above are beeing executed. |

Ok, I did a fresh drop of yesterday's download and moved the existing one out of X-Plane's reach. Aircraft loads. There are a couple of snd-errors regarding the dc3 in the main X-Plane log, though probably not related to the problem at hand.

Ok.
These on the log file are not related, of course. They are not "bugs" either.
Anyways, in the DC-3 folder you will find a settings text file. Open it and tell me which version do you see?

ok...
in the aircraft folder you'll find two files: STMAClientLin and STMAClient.exe
Try to double click on the STMAClientLin file (make sure in is allowed to execute as program, via its properties).
You should not see anything in particular at that stage, only to notice some files changes. So, please wait for about 5 minutes without doing nothing with it (do not run X-Plane or load the plane).
Then, open the settings.txt file again and let me know which version do you see.
All of this, of course, without running X-Plane.

When starting STMAClientLin from a terminal, I get the CURL_OPENSSL_3 not found error mentioned above. This is something I probably have to fix on OS level by myself. Many many thanks for the quick support! At least I know now how to verify the installed version and where to start fixing this.
Edit:
Did a simple
$> LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libcurl.so.3 ./STMAClientLin
et voilà, it works.

Hi Ok...I haven't encountered this issue before your report. Now, please try to run STMAClient.exe (under wine). It is not a recommended action to make as it is not updating the needed Linux assets, but for now it might give me a clue for the next steps. Give it a try and let me know what happened. |

I had no wine installed, so I had to do that first; I also used a fresh copy of the plane. The .exe, started with wine, worked right out of the box updating the files. (will do a clean run of the linux client on a fresh drop before starting X-Plane next time).

Hi is everything went fine? meaning that the aircraft is loading, and the settings file indicates v2.7b2.3 ? |
