P3D & FSX Products

@Eddy the answer is annoyingly simple... Surprisingly, all one has to do is to left click on the NAV radio on/off switch (the left of the two switches). I must have clicked everything in the cockpit before making my discovery. I ought to have known having bought loads of Carenado stuff.

I think that's an Alabeo product. We have no limits on downloads, so I suspect it may be activations. You'd need to contact Alabeo about that - if that's the problem. Otherwise, Just Flight support should be able to help.

All is well after re-install, thanks.

Thanks to everyone who blinded me. I managed to contact the development team and install and activate the aircraft offline. It was not very simple but now everything works. Why normal activation stopped working, I did not understand. Until this case, everything worked without problems.

@RickBrown said in VLJ panel issue. FSX:SE on Win 10.:

FYI, I've decided to move on and uninstall the VLJ.
Pity. It was a fun A/C.
There were just too many issues to work out during my busy home life.
Hope someone has more luck/patience than me!
Rick.

NB - the VLJ does run with FSX SE. What you are getting is an issue, as Rich has said, with the gauges getting blocked - most likely something local. Could be Test mode or an AV program or, not all the files are present due to a corruption. Worth double checking with Just Flight support - although it may be nigh on impossible to replicate that issue.

@zhaoqingMal

Sounds like it is blocked from checking. AV maybe? Have you asked JF support about it?

Update: pointed it to the base L1011 Professional folder and it worked.

@Delta558
Thanks so much for your reply and advice. It's good to know about the Active Sky settings. Whilst awaiting a reply I had been reading up on how the wake turbulence effects are overdone in Active Sky, but was not aware of the just wind itself being a problem. I'll try lowering wind too, although I think it might be an idea to try some test landings in cross-winds to help me determine the best factor to use for wind.

As for the flaps it's re-assuring to know that's how they are on the real aircraft - thanks! I'm not sure when I'd want to use them as they cause such a drastic change in the behaviour of the aircraft I find it barely manageable.

When I've mastered this one, I think I'll make a nice video of it for YouTube, using ORBX scenery in p3dv4, where everything has terrific performance.

I am sorry, I forgot to update this discussion as I had a reply from the support: I just had to right-click the range button to increase the range. This is quite unusual when you have a button with 2 arrows, which is why I dodn't find the trick by myself, but it works. In addition, it is not consistent with the standard Garmin GPS 500 that is in the 2D popup window. Anyway, it works, I just regret I can't have the terrain display like on the standard GPS 500.

Regarding the HSI problem you are talking about, I don't have it. I often fly using GPS guidance and the HSI works well, showing deviation from the programmed route. You still have to manually turn the needle to adjust it to the next waypoint bearing, but this is not a bug, it is normal and realistic.

Yes, you're right, I should try to disable the panel state saving. I regret this because the idea is good, I implemented the same feature on the Wilco Airbus Series I developed, it was very convenient even if ti was working with FS2004 at that time.

I agree with you, the oil consumption is far more than the real thing. I used to fly the TB-9 Tampico, the small brother of the TB-10, on which I passed my PPL and I confirm it didn't use so much oil :)

Hi Piet,
A LM texture is a night version of a texture, and is not likely to be the cause of this problem.
More likely its one of two things - old graphics card drivers as these commonly cause textures to become transparent.
The second possible cause is the product security failing. Try reinstalling to see if this fixes it.
If not, our tech support team will be able to offer further assistance. https://support.justflight.com/en/support/home

Thanks

@jjdc Thanks for the info, the unavailable WSO position is a bug in FSX ( but not P3D, strangely ) that has been rectified - the GUID was not valid. An update with this fixed an many other goodies is due in a few days.

The crew are made visible via the red Seat Arm button, right hand side panel, at the front. A similar button is in the WSO position also.

It's not much comfort to me that you've sold many Huey's to satisfied customers. This suggests that the fault is mine alone! You should be more interested in my predicament and keeping me on side as a customer. I've been one for many years.

Some confusion here. Milviz are a different company to us. We are acting as their retailer and we don't code the installations. You would not have this issue with Just Flight software unless you have coded your version of P3D's installation in such a way as to prevent a standard installer - but if you can get A2A software to work then ours should.
What we normally do in this sort of case - if you have contacted the developer/publisher directly for help and they have drawn a blank - is advise them we will offer a refund and see what they say.

Just to be clear - you haven't contacted Just Flight support? Just Milviz?

Thanks everyone in Customer Support! New email with Discount Code received.
