pms 750 mod not working

750 working fine here too, no problems

@rfpilot said in pms 750 mod not working:

I have just updated to the new Arrow. However it is not recognising my 750 mod.

Also my gns530 screen is black

This is happening for me with all the Arrows after updating, so you're not alone. I already reached out to support about it. ☺

@craze, are you by any chance using the Bijan 4 seasons mod? I am and just a thought that this may be conflicting with the Arrow GPSs?

Craze

@craze, are you by any chance using the Bijan 4 seasons mod?

@rfpilot, my issues was tested in a number of situations during troubleshooting, including completely empty community folder except the piper arrows. "Bijan 4 seasons" is however something I have never used.

I can confirm everything is working so far including the 750. Do you have the free version or the the full one? Also, I did not do a clean install. I hope you will find the solution and the help you need. o7

Same issue here. All addons are removed and the 'restart flight' trick does not help me either. Al screens remain black.

RFpilot

Please can Justflight fix this problem and issue a patch. I have tried everything including full disinstall and reinstall and empty community folder apart from the Arrow and the 530 and 750 mods. I have tried with various airports, cold and dark and also ready to take off. The 530 screens are black, and there is no option for the 750 even though I have the latest version.

This seems to be random as myself and others its fine, but for some not so much.

Can I suggest everyone post how their planes were packaged. ie. bought separately, the 3 plane bundle, marketplane, etc. JF has had a bug before that was only in the 3 plane bundle version, so maybe this might help track it down.

My 750 works fine and mine were purchased separately.

@weptburrito
I purchased mine as the package including the standard Arrow and the turbo Arrow. Purchased direct from Justflight. I can confirm that before this update, my 530 and 750 were working perfectly, no problems at all.

@weptburrito @RFpilot is it safe to assume that the GPS units work fine for you in other planes, i.e. it is only with the Arrow there is an isssue?

RFpilot

@superkaro2014
Correct, I don't have any issues with other planes using the GPSs, only the Arrows. And only with this latest update.

You are going to have to do some additional troubleshooting before a patch is considered. It's already been established that there is no issue for other (most?) users.

Please have a look around for similar issues described in other threads, I have found the following for example:
https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/just-flight-arrow-bundle-arrow-and-turbo-arrow-gps-panels-not-working-they-stay-black-and-dead/440369/65
In particular consider the post #77 that mentions deleting the Windows registry entry, restart and reinstall the aircraft.

Assuming your GPS units are properly turned on in your aircraft, that is probably your next best step to try.

@superkaro2014 as I’ve already stated, I have no problems. I’m just trying to help determine if there a bug in a specific package by finding out from those with or without this issue how they got the arrows.

@weptburrito
Arrow bundle version, gtn 750 not working for me. It's probably the same problem they had a couple versions back that did the exact same thing.

TroyMcClure

@kf1911 How did you solve it then, and can you apply the same solution now?

@troymcclure
It wasn't user solvable, they issued a patch for it.

weptburrito

@kf1911 awesome, thanks for the response. So based off three people anyway, looks like it may be just in the bundle version.

TroyMcClure

I don't have the issue myself (don't have the bundle version), but if I had I would try the regedit procedure I linked above if I didn't want to wait for a patch. It's worth a shot.

weptburrito

@troymcclure TY. So it’s starting to really look like it’s just in the bundle. Let’s tag @Martyn and maybe he can have a look into it fairly quickly.

RFpilot

Thanks so much Martyn for sorting this out so quickly. So it does appear that those with the bundle are the ones most likely affected by the 750 not showing up and the black screen on the 530. Hope you can release the patch soon.
