Could not read database due to errors.


Recommended Posts

This is the error which is causing all the problems.

  • Het opgegeven pad, de bestandsnaam of beide zijn te lang. De volledig gekwalificeerde bestandsnaam moet minder dan 260 tekens bevatten en de mapnaam minder dan 248 tekens.
  • (English) Either the specified directory name, or the filename, or both are too long. The length of a fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.

 

Due to the fact that the default installation path of MSFS 2020 is given as follows ...

c:\users\<username>\appdata\local\packages\microsoft.flightsimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\localcache\packages

... the absolute path of an add-on might become too long, depending on the relative path names of the add-on. Even some of the folder names of MSFS itself become too long. e.g. C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\community\aig-aitraffic-oci-beta\SimObjects\Airplanes\AIGAIM_HTAI_C208B_SuperCargomaster\model.IRO-CSA Air_Old Titles Black Leading Edge Dark Cargo Pod

 

This can only be solved by a clean new installation of MSFS into a separate folder which has a short as possible name, e.g. E:\MSFS
