FSD only lets me type in 30 characters. how do i fix that? thanks. You'll need to rebuild FSD to allow for 39 characters instead of just 30... It's probably related to the weather service updating the way their api keys work, and to allow ppl to still use their old keys they didn't remove it...

darknior 0 Posted June 7, 2014 Yes, some have old API KEY with 30 characters. And yes rebuild FSD is the best solution, but i don't know how to do it ? Is some one can do it for every body and share the XEX here ? Because now FSD Team leave the scene, they will never update FSD more Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ripdajacker 0 Posted September 18, 2014 You can change it in the SQLite database. I downloaded the settings.db from the e:/dash/Data/Databases with the XeXMenu FTP (remember to set it to active, passive does not always work), downloaded it to my computer and inserted my key using SQLiteBrowser and following SQL: update GlobalSettings set GlobalSettingsWeatherApiKey = 'YOUR API KEY' It worked like a charm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

t4z84 2 Posted October 1, 2014 Is it easy to do? I'm a newbie here and female haha.. Not that being female has anything to do with it! I'm scared of stuffing up my system and corrupting it. I'm not entirely sure what the xexmenu ftp is.. is that a program I need to download? I've never touched any of that stuff before. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Connect the hard disk to your PC and copy the settings.db file from G:\FreeStyle\Data\Databases to somewhere, e.g. C:\Temp 2. Make a copy to be on the safe side. If something goes wrong you can copy the copy back to the original location. 3. Download SQL Lite Browser from http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlitebrowser/files/latest/download and install it 4. Open SQL Lite Browser and load the settings.db database from where you put it 5. Go to the second tab "Browse Data" 6. Select the GlobalSettings table from the combo box 7. Scroll all the way to the left and you will see the GlobalSettingsWeatherApiKey field 8. Copy paste your 40 characters Weather API Key instead of whatever's there 9. Save using "Write Changes" button 10. Copy the modified settings.db back to the FreeStyle hard disk, overriding the existing one in G:\FreeStyle\Data\Databases That's all. Good luck 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
