G5 integration issue

[Tassierob]

Just bought the G5 for this fantastic aircraft. Unfortunately I cannot get the display to show in the cockpit. If I assign keys to activate the pop outs they work perfectly and power up as expected. I downloaded the patch file as required and also updated the Islander to the latest version. Any ideas appreciated.

Many thanks

Can you please run through exactly how you installed yours. I have tried multiple times! Also did you have to confirm your XAviation account again after you started the Islander? Also are you using Vulcan?

Hi Tassierob!

1. Download and Unzipp Islander_G5 file from 27.04.2020.

2.Put G5 folder to the BN-2 Islander plugins folder. Not to the X-Plane Resources/plugins folder!!!

3.Add to to the BN-2 Islander folder BN-2B Islander G5.acf file.

4. End

When you put the G5 plugin in did you delete the one that the installer put in when  G5 is initially installed in XP and you run the installer file in XP to link the G5 to the Islander? I am running out of ideas as I so far have it installed exactly as you did . Thanks

1. I delete the old G5 folder and simply put the new one.

2. I did not run G5 Installer.

3. I made BN-2 Islander 1.0.1 new activation.

4. I use Vulcan and Experimental Flight model.

Thanks...it maybe that I should not have run the installer. I will do a clean install of the plane and G5 tomorrow and see what happens.

many thanks, your help is greatly appreciated.

I have the same issue as @Tassierob and have done the steps outlined by @airwar multiple times, without luck.

I did download the patch from here.

As stated by @Tassierob, you can toggle the G5 with a hotkey in the sim. You just cannot get the G5 to display in the cockpit.

Could you post an image of your G5 cockpit?

@airwar here is an image of the Islander cockpit. As you can see, no G5. Not sure what you mean by "G5 cockpit".

I mean you should open BN-2 with G5 cockpit!

 

because you have 2 airplanes, one regular and another with G5

[StuckInOrbit]

Ah, gotcha! I missed that.

OK, so that definitely loads the G5 in the cockpit. However, the screens are black. Instead, the display of the G5 PFD shows up on the transponder (all cut up and glitched) and the display of the G5 DG/HSI shows up on the chronometer (just a very small portion of it appears).

Sounds like other people are having issues with the G5. A new thread was started by someone and it also looks like it was mentioned in the pinned 1.0.1 update thread.

You definitely have an OLD BN-2B Islander G5.acf  file.

Here's how my cockpit looks like.

I suggest you manually delete BN-2 airplane and then run 1.0.1 Installer! That is how I did.

tldr; It wasn't that (details below) but for simplicity sake I'll simply say, IT'S FIXED! Steps:

1. Uninstalled Islander v1.0.1
2. Made sure the entire aircraft folder was deleted
3. Re-installed Islander v1.0.1
4. Downloaded the AFM G5 Islander patch from here.
5. Installed the patch per the instructions on their site.
6. Started a new flight using the BN-2B-26 Islander G5
7. Registered the aircraft
8. Tested the G5. Looks great! See attached image.

@airwar THANK YOU for all your help! It is much appreciated.

Guys, Great job on getting this fixed and a big shout out to Torquesim for an update not even a week later...so after loading up the non G5 model, I noticed the nightlighting is different and also the passenger signs work in this version but not the G5 model...It seems G5 model is version 1.0 not 1.0.1....
