FSACARS problem solving
The first step is to look at this file in your FSACARS directory: sendlogreport.html
NOTE: Your FSACARS directory could be:
1. Your install directory
2. C:\Program Files (x86)\FSacars
3. C:\Users\your_user_name\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\FSacars
Check all 3.
The sendlogreport.html file will tell you what the problem is (bad username/password, too many bad logins, etc.).
If the error message doesn't get you there, let me know what it says and I'll keep helping you.
If you are experiencing "Database Corruption" or "Tampered Log" errors, go to your FSACARS directory(ies) and delete these files:
Any file with an airport code in the file name (i.e. KLAX)
fsacars.mdb
fsacarslog.*
AALxxxx.dat (where xxx is your pilot number)

windows 10 causes FSACARS to sometimes put files in your FSACARS directory, and sometimes it puts them in this other directory:
C:\Users\your_user_name\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\FSacars
So, if your .ini file changes or corrupt file deletion attempts are not working, go look in this new directory and look for the files there.
