I found that my Satscape program would not launch this morning. Something about a launch file problem. Same result on both my mac os x 10.6 machines. Anyone else having trouble?
Dave W8IJ
What's the actual error message?

The Problem has to do with the migration of the Satscape website:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/SatscapeNews
Redownload the program from the website: http://www.satscape.info/modx/index.php?id=50 and it will point to the correct location. Your settings will be preserved.

Dave,
Are you using the Java Version or the Classic version?
Personally, I prefer the classic. If you need I have a copy.

Rick,
I am using Java version. It is complaining about a required field <jnlp> missing from the launch file.
I find that I can't get to www.satscape.co.uk so maybe Satscape is not able to update itself.
I would be interested in getting the classic version from you.
Thanks, Dave W8IJ

Dave,
I just Google's Satscape and found this alternate page: http://www.satscape.info/modx/index.php?id=50
See if this works for you.

Satscape never worked for me . I wasn't able to get the times right . It was running like a hour behind and I wasn't able to find a option to set the time zones on .

The old version never worked and the new Java version won't install. Orbitron is still the best freebe out there or my "standard", InstantTrack.

I went to http://www.satscape.info/modx/index.php?id=50 and had java replace Satscape and now it works fine. Scott Hather moved his web site and Satscape was still looking for the old one for updates with no luck.
As for Satscape for JAVA never working, my first installation three or so years ago went fine. When I installed it on another mac a year or so later, I saw the problem with times being off and I corrected the problem by copying a satscape folder from the first machine to the new one. I never figured out how to fix it in the user settings.

Dave,
I just checked and the classic version is still available for download on the Satscape website.
Now for the issue I have with the java version: I just re-downloaded it to correct the issue with the website move. In both this and the previous version I had, there is no HO-68. I know it's a new bird, but gotta figure the keps would be in there. Anyone have any ideas?

Rick,
I don't know why you had trouble with HO68. It took a few days to show up in my list (on the Java version). I kept checking in settings ->groups -> amateur. Then one day it was there and I clicked on it and checked the favorites box.
