Extractor - Profile description box

[Battlestar]

Hi,
I've posted this recently, but with no positive resolution, and my post seems to have disappeared.

The "profile description" box in Extractor does not accept any input at all. When I try to create a profile an "error on the right" dialog box appears and asks for some details of the profile to be input. As I cannot input any details I cannot start any game from within Extractor unless there is a profile I can download. Then I can start the game and modify the profile to suit myself. The real problem is when there is no profile available to download, I can't create one. Is this a bug in Extractor or am I doing something wrong?
I hope someone has an answer.

I just created a new profile for FSX on the extractor. I was able to do it with no errors, except it didn't let me enter a description for the profile I made. Other than that It works. Can you make a video capture of the way you do it, to see what you errors you experiencing?

Hi Thanos, thanks for your reply.
Thats the problem, I'm unable to create a new profile. I can only modify an existing profile. So if I have a game that doesn't have an existing plugin and profile I'm stuck. I have combat flight simulator 3 and I don't know how to get an extractor profile for it so that I can start the game from extractor.

I'm impressed! Do you think you could tell me how you did that in a bit of detail, When you've got the time. Please!

Just add the game using the testplugin. Then you can add the profile as usual and change to the plugin you are going to use for motion extraction.

Oh, where it says you have to enter a description, don't enter any description just delete with backspace everything in that text box and it should work.

Thanks for that Thanos. Deleting the text in the decription box was a huge help as I can now add the game using Testplugin. However, when I have changed to x-plane to use that for the motion extraction, and then created a profile, I can start the game from extractor fine, but there is nothing happening in "math setup when the game is running. Its all very puzzling. I will try and work it out. I appreciate the help you've given me in this.

it sounds like you are not using the correct plug in, or you havent copy/paste the plug in from the x-sim folder to the game folder.
