Record your flight path with key flight information archived during the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 flights. Then export that data to a KML file to use with Google Earth for 3 dimensional flight analysis

Simetimes MSFS just crashs to desktop. Once this application recognizes that it changes the SimConnect Status but doesn't enable the Retry Sim Connection button. The application has to be closed and reopen to establish a new connection. It would be better that the Retry Sim Connection button is enabled again once the application recognizes that the connection to the Sim has been lost. Please implement this change as it would be a great usability improvement.
Hi there, thanks for the new update with its nice features!
However, since the new update I get an error when running the application through a PowerShell script.
Reproduction steps
I use a PowerShell script to start PilotPathRecorder. The script is located in another folder (/Documents instead of /Documents/PilotPathRecorder). The script basically consist of this command:
start "C:\Users\myusername\Documents\PilotPathRecorder\FS2020PlanePath.exe"
Expected result
I expect this command to work outside the PilotPathRecorder directory, as before the update,. without giving any errors.
Result
When I use this command inside the PilotPathRecorder folder, it does work as expected.
When I use this command outside the PilotPathRecorder folder, it does not work as expected.:
The application starts with an error popup. The error popup doesn't tells me anything specific. Only to look in the log file and that the application will end.
The logfile PilotPathRecorderLog.txt*:
=============Error Logging ===========
===========Start============= 17/08/2021 21:53:16
Version: 1.4.0
Additional Information: Error finding or parsing AirportListvx.csv where x is a number. Please ensure file is in directory and try again
Error Message: Sequence contains no elements
Stack Trace: at System.Linq.Enumerable.First[TSource](IEnumerable`1 source)
at FS2020PlanePath.MainPage.MainPage_Shown(Object sender, EventArgs e)
===========End=============
In my PilotPathRecorder, no _AirportListvx.csv _ is present, but I assume vx is a variable for v1, as AirportListv1.csv IS present.
Copying AirportListv1.csv to my command execution directory (/Documents), the command does work and PilotPathRecorder runs without errors. But this is no solid solution for me.
I suspect the problem might be a faulty relative path in the code?
This tool is great, but it seems like a third of the time I go to save the recorded flight out as a kml file for the Google Earth application, it produces an unhandled exception error. It does the same thing if saving for google earth for web. I thought this behavior might be related to active or full pausing in the game, but the latest flight with no pausing had the same results. See below for the full content of the error message.
See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example:
<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
Hello, thanks for this simple but solid tool. I like it a lot.
Could you please implement a connection retry timer so that I can just start this program and leave it to be while my flight simulator is starting? That way I don't need to switch programs (which I often forgot which results in no tracking...).
The timeout doesn't need to be like 1 second, as the simulator takes a couple of minutes to start. So 5 - 30 seconds might be ideal? Anyway, your call!
Thanks in advance, I would appreciate it a lot!
