777 Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 latest update installed. could be a user error here. But after setting up my route, star/sid/ weights alititude. I go to index or through the n1 limit page, then click take off, it shows me the CLB page instead, so i can't see the takeoff page. don't think i've done anything out of the ordinary. i've reloaded the plane and tried this again and the problem repeats.

KevinM Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 It happens to me too! See clip attached. B733_1.avi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskoka Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 (edited) Mines just started doing this as well, after 3 successful flights this morning on 1.03. I know it's not operator error, and absolutely nothing has changed in the sim from this morning. I've restarted 3 times now, and always get the error. As soon as you click "TakeOff" it goes to the CLB page. How can this happen after 3 good flights this morning with zero changes to the sim? I tried applying the update again, error persists. Any ideas other than a full reinstall? Edited May 7, 2016 by Muskoka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskoka Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Deleted preferences and seem to be back in business. Nothing had changed in that sim from this mornings flights, never should have happened. What a pain in the rear end, set everything up again.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAGuy2015 Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Same problem here after installing last hotfix. That's really annoying to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAGuy2015 Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Specifically, the Takeoff page becomes inaccessible only after entering a SID/STAR and Rwy from the DEP/ARR page. I don't get that problem when I fill the route in the RTE page. Only after selecting something in the DEP/ARR section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan However a tipp for all guys/girls: you can safe you old preferences and copy and paste all your assignments with a editor like notepad++. When resetting the prefs i do keep the X-Plane Calibration.prf and X-Plane.prf in a separate folder. After deleting the prefs and rebooting X-Plane i replace the X-Plane Calibration.prf file with my old one. Then i open the new X-Plane.prf in notepad++ and replace all the _joy... lines with the lines from my old pref file. So i don't have to assign them all again. If you do want to keep your keypad buttons too you have to keep the X-Plane Keys.prf file too and replace the key assignment inside the new file...

They are in the X-Plane 10\Output\preferences folder. You probably only need to remove the X-plane.prf file (move it somewhere else and see if this helps!)

It's always after I picked a SID from the DEP/ARR that the TAKEOFF page becomes unavailable Edited May 8, 2016 by LAGuy2015 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would really like to get this one fixed for everyone! Thanks, Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAGuy2015 Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 (edited) Sequence is pretty straightforward: - Enter my airport/position in the POS INIT - in RTE page I enter Origin and Destination and Flt Number - in RTE page 2 I enter my Airways and Waypoints - At that point if I click on TAKEOFF at the bottom right of the FMC screen, I access the TAKEOFF page without any problem THIS IS WHERE I GET THE ISSUE: - I click on DEP/ARR button - select <DEP and pick a runway and a SID - The simple fact of selecting the runway and/or SID , whether I press on Activate or not, make the TAKEOFF page unavailable. Instead, when I try to access that TAKEOFF page the FMC display the ACT ECON CLB page instead. And there is no way to get the TAKEOFF page back. Hope that helps. Your great work is appreciated!

LAGuy2015 Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 (edited) I did more testing and in fact, it's ONLY when I select a Takeoff runway - whether I chose it in the DEP/ARR page or enter it directly on RTE page 1 - that the ACT ECON CLB page is displayed instead of the TAKEOFF page. So that runway selection seems to be the culprit. Edited May 8, 2016 by LAGuy2015 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh, strange - I did exactly as you did and here it works fine. Can you make a video of it real quick? So I can see which airport, what keys you are pressing, etc. I have never seen this on my end but I am sure I am missing a simple step to reproduce it!

LAGuy2015 Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 I'm not equipped to make and post videos. Flight is from EGKK to EBBR. Please try from that airport. When I do a flight from KBUR to KSFO, I don't get the issue. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I can´t play it with either media player or VLC Can you guys please try at TXKF airport? I suspect that using a custom airport or mesh could have something to do with it... If we can isolate the reason, it will be easy to code around it, I am sure! Thanks, Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanH75 Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 I'd like to add here, since I have solved this issue on my side by removing the preference folder, letting XP create a new one and putting back my preference files (I guess only those related to rendering settings and joystick assignment), I have never again encountered this issue. I am not a programmer, but I believe it is related to initialization or reading the preference files at certain circumstances. Need to check later if I still have all the preference backup files and be able to provoke this bug again.
