Re: Problem using the tow bar in A2A aircraft

Problem solved. For some reason when releasing the parking brake using key commands, the toe brakes would come on. I have no idea why , but at least I now know how to fix it.

[RESOLVED] Problem using the tow bar in A2A aircraft

Lately I have had an intermittent problem when moving the plane with the tow bar. Sometimes it works normally, but on occasion I can barely get the plane to move. It is as if the brakes are on, but they are not. It happens with the Bonanza V35B and the Cessna 182. So, two questions. Has anyone else ...

NAV radio frequency offset in Milviz DH-2 Beaver

When I load my Milviz DH-2 into P3D 4.3, sometimes the NAV radio has an offset of 1 to 3 digits in the hundredths place. For example, when trying to tune to 108.60, the closest I can get is 108.62, which of course doesn't work. The final digit will have choices of 2 or 7. I have a Saitek radio panel...

Re: Hat switch on Saitek yoke not working for View Pan

Thank you! I just tried that, and it solved the problem. Also, before I saw your post I had been experimenting with a workaround, using FSUIPC to remap the hat switch to the keypad 4, 8, 6 and 2 keys. But that was a bit clunky. Your suggestion works much more smoothly. Now I just hope it all holds t...

[RESOLVED] Hat switch on Saitek yoke not working for View Pan

After struggling with the inactive ATC problem, that is finally working fine in Version 4.3. But now the hat switch on my yoke will not work. I had that problem occasionally in v.4.2, but eventually it would come back to life. Now it seems to be completely dead. It is not the hardware. that checks o...

Re: ATC issue still a problem - v4.2

Dammit! I spoke too soon. the Hat switch worked only during one session. After exiting and then later reopening P3D it does not work. Therefore I cannot change my view. Not exactly a good way to fly. This is getting very frustrating. I hope I don't have to wait another 3 or 4 months for version 4.4 ...

Re: ATC issue still a problem - v4.2

It may not have been necessary (I thought the upgrade instructions were a bit ambiguous) but I did an uninstall prior to installing v.4.3. Anyway, I did get ATC back! However, all my add-on MegaScenery was gone. I started reloading it, just a couple of states to begin with, and then I found that the...

Re: ATC issue still a problem

I was away for a few days, and now that v.4.3 is available, I'm hoping that solves the ATC problem. It's installing now.

[RESOLVED] ATC issue still a problem - v4.2

I know this has been hashed out extensively over the past several months. Some people have reported success by deleting one of the .cfg files, and letting the program regenerate it. Some have said they got around it by saving and resaving the default scenario. I wouldn't be surprised if someone out ...

Re: Panel view transparency issue. - A2A

I finally managed to resolve the issue, but unfortunately I had already blown away my aircraft and saved flights. The planes can be reloaded. As it turned out, there wouldn't have been any need to delete anything or do a reinstall. By randomly clicking and right clicking on the screen, eventually I ...

Re: Panel view transparency issue. - A2A

I will check with A2A, but those windows should be available in P3D no matter what the plane is. They are the windows that are supposed to pop up when Shift 1, Shift 2, etc are pressed. Unfortunately, without them, P3D is essentially unusable for me.

Re: Panel view transparency issue.

The panel windows 1 through 9. The default key strokes for them are Shift + 1 through Shift + 9. I the A2A aircraft they are used for checklists, the maintenance hanger, and the like. They had a + and a - in the upper right corner to change how opaque they are, and I guess my mouse was on the wrong ...

[RESOLVED] Panel view transparency issue. - A2A

I was attempting to decrease the transparency (i.e. increase opacity) of the panel windows, and I goofed, and made them totally invisible. I can't find them at all to change the transparency. Is there any way to set panel transparency without using the + - on the panels themselves? I have looked in ...

Re: Good add-on ATC to use until the bug is fixed?

I have no idea if this is real or just coincidence, but a couple of times when I loaded new scenery or a new airplane, the ATC stopped working for a while, but then, somehow, after opening P3D a few times, it "cured" itself.

Re: Good add-on ATC to use until the bug is fixed?

Thanks for the responses. But, for some reason I don't understand at all, now the default P3D ATC is working again. At least for now. When it was not working, the ATC window could open up, and show the appropriate selections (choose a runway, contact tower, get ATIS, etc) would be there, but grayed ...
