pizzicar Posted June 17, 2020 Report Posted June 17, 2020 Installed the BN-2 and then the G5. The G5 does not show up in the BN-2 but does in the included C172-SP. I can't move the switches in the aircraft. Log file attached. Log.txt Quote
anthonye Posted June 17, 2020 Report Posted June 17, 2020 I was just going to ask for opinions on the G5 in the islander and whether its worth getting for the Islander, think I will wait until you get your problem sorted out first. Anthony Quote
Cameron Posted June 17, 2020 Report Posted June 17, 2020 Hi @pizzicar, Can you please also provide your Gizmo Log.txt? Normally if switches aren't working it's related to your computer missing a library, but that doesn't appear to be the case here and I need to investigate further. Quote
pizzicar Posted June 17, 2020 Author Report Posted June 17, 2020 See attached - thanks. GizmoLog.txt Quote
Cameron Posted June 17, 2020 Report Posted June 17, 2020 For the G5, you'll need to install the aircraft files for it: https://torquesim.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/G/overview I'm still perplexed on your switches issue. Nothing looks wrong in any of your logs. Need @Coop to step in and look at this one. Quote
pizzicar Posted June 17, 2020 Author Report Posted June 17, 2020 after I applied the G5 patch - the switches are now working but still no G5 displayed. Also could not start the left engine but that might just be me. Quote

pizzicar Posted June 17, 2020 Author Report Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) Yes sir I did. I will run it again. Update - I re-ran the G5 aircraft installer again and now the switches are black and non functional again. I'm going to try to re-run the patch file again. Edited June 17, 2020 by pizzicar Update Quote
pizzicar Posted June 17, 2020 Author Report Posted June 17, 2020 OK, so I re-ran the patch link you supplied and the switches are now good again but still no G5. Quote
Cameron Posted June 17, 2020 Report Posted June 17, 2020 @Coop will need to get in on this one. Quote

I can't move the switches in the aircraft. Try these steps. I think running the per-aircraft installer is wiping out the Islander G5 config file (when there is a patch, running the per-aircraft installer is not necessary): Rerun Islander installer Download Islander G5 patch Copy files of Islander G5 patch to the Islander folder Do not run the per-aircraft installer. Let me know how this works! Quote
pizzicar Posted June 17, 2020 Author Report Posted June 17, 2020 Coop, I ran the steps you suggested - no change - the switches are fine but still no G5. I've included my directories if that helps. Quote
Coop Posted June 17, 2020 Report Posted June 17, 2020 In X-Plane, are you loading the new Islander G5 aircraft? There are two aircraft that you can pick from when loading once the G5 patch is installed. Quote
pizzicar Posted June 17, 2020 Author Report Posted June 17, 2020 Holly Cow Pies.....why didn't I see that. All is well now - thanks. Quote
Cameron Posted June 17, 2020 Report Posted June 17, 2020 Okay, @anthonye you're up! Time to buy. Quote

Oh I see, what you are saying then when you select the Islander from the start menu, there is a version of the Islander with the G5 in the aircraft selection menu after you have put the patch on the G5 site.

pizzicar Posted June 17, 2020 Author Report Posted June 17, 2020 Just to close out the topic on a high note - made the flight with the G5 from Key West FL to Grand Bahamas (MYGF). Great flight - all systems seemed to be functioning great and although the first landing was a bit scary not knowing what to expect, I followed the check list and made a smooth landing. Grats on a great plane and look forward to continued development. 1 Quote

Enrit Posted June 19, 2020 Report Posted June 19, 2020 Hello, I downloaded and installed the BN-2 Islander. The switches don't work (ie. they don't move when clicked, although you get the clonk noise) , though the primary controls & power levers do. Tried reinstalling, after a complete re-download, but no joy. Also tried it with the stable version instead of the Gizmo beta 20, but again no joy. Gizmo log attached. Many thanks GizmoLog.txt Quote
