GSX error: ValueError: invalid literal for float():

[MatthijsDJ]

Hi all,

getting the error below while using gsx. Searched the forum, googled it but didn't found a solution. Maybe something with the decimal seperator in my regional settings of Win7?

Error:

As requested many times already on the forum, when reporting such errors, ALWAYS include ALL the following informations:

- The airplane used

- The airport used

- The gate used

- The GSX operation that was selected.


From the error message, it seems you have edited the airplane exit with a custom command and made an error but, since you haven't provided all the information we always ask to report an error, we can't check the airplane used to see if the error is coming from the GSX database or it's a result of your editing.

Oops.. Sorry forgot to add that 

I got the message with them PMDG NGX (700), on both Aerosoft Amsterdam(D88) and Maastricht (Forgot the gate). Got the error during every action, only the fueling action doesn't seem to be affected.

The only thing I did with GSX was downloading it, installing it, registering it. Nothing more or less .

I've tried the NGX-700 just now, and there are no problems.

Have you customized the airplane, even using a previous GSX installation ? Try to used the GSX airplane configuration editor and choose the "Reset" option, and "Discard all customizations", this will revert to the default data that comes with GSX.

[MatthijsDJ]

Ok,

Did that, did one try at Maastricht and it worked here.

So no tried it again on Amsertdam, with FS2crew running, same plane only this time at gate D4.

Asked for the catering service, and I gues that near the end of that action it crashed. Did a total reinstall of GSX, and had the same result .

Small update, changed the decimal char from "," to "." in my regional settings, and just had my first succesfull catering action on Amsterdam.

Will try to do a full run tomorrow .

[MatthijsDJ]

Seems that it was the trick, had two flights without errors.

Bit weird that only I got the error, I know that there are more Dutch GSX owners .

It's not just the Netherlands that has "," as a decimal separator, many countries in Europe have it too (including Italy...), but we never heard of this problem before.
