[RESOLVED] Prosim737 addon aircraft not working with Multichannel

[sgst]

I hope someone can help me with my this

I have a problem with the Prosim flight model and P3D Multichannel.

My setup:
Host : 1 computer running P3D V3.4 Pro plus, Prosim737 and all Prosim displays/MCP/CDU
Client: 1 computer running 3 screens for external views
The two computers are networked.

I have configured View Groups multichannel to run the 3 external displays on the Client computer.
Everything works fine when using default P3D aircrafts.

But when I run the Prosim Flight Model on P3D on the Host computer, this does not work with the Client computer displays

I get the following Messages on the Client computer:

"Vehicle initalization has failed for: Prosim_737_800Winglets_Prosim_Livery
You will now ble placed in visualization-only mode."

"Loading Multiplayer data......
86%"

Then the computer seems to hang at loading multiplayer data at 86%. Nothing more ever happens...

Any help would be highly appreciated

Hello,

Multichannel requires that content and scenery be the same as the host for each client machine. This is likely why the vehicle is failing to load.

Thanks for reply.
Both host and Client have the same scenery downloaded.
The only difference between the computers is that the Prosim addon Aircraft is only downloaded on the host. I have tried to download the Prosim Aircraft on the Client, but this does not seem possible.
Any ideas?

Can you indicate what problem are you encountering downloading and installing the AC in the client PC?..

Can you simply copy the ProSim 737 aircraft folder from the SimObjects/Airplanes folder on your server to your client?

Cannot see why not, the problem is that it would also have Gauges , Effects and maybe other things...

Having had a look at Prosim web site , I think that is not just a standard AC addon , so maybe you would need an extra licence?? check with Prosim...

Hello,
you can just copy the A/C folder in the simobjects over onto the MC-clients. That should be sufficient.

Tanks for suggestions.

I have already tried to install the Prosim addon aircraft on the client computer. The Aircraft is located in the sim objects folder on the client.

The addon Aircraft does however not show up on the list of Aircraft in the menu. Only default Aircraft on the list.

Any further ideas what may be the issue?

Have you taken this up with the developer of Prosim? It's their product... I'd start there if it were me.

Hi again,

it turns out that I have two different "sim modules" folders on the Client computer. One which is empty and one containing the default Aircraft. Upon installation of the Prosim flight model the files had been imported to the empty "sim modules" folder. This did not work. When I moved those files to the other folder containing the default aircraft it all worked.

Thanks for input - you were correct. The problem was the installation of the prosim addon Aircraft on the Client computer.
