scotfleiger Posted June 21, 2020 Report Posted June 21, 2020 (edited) Despite being able to operate the battery and external supply/isolation switches and charging the battery, I get no response from any of the lights, instruments or avionics. Absolutely nothing! Why won't this aircraft work? Where is the get you started instructions? And yes I have worked my way through the AIM and check lists. PS. Also no fuel is shown in the aircraft window. Edited June 21, 2020 by scotfleiger Quote
Ch.Cole Posted June 21, 2020 Report Posted June 21, 2020 Might be some dual binding from your periphery overriding switches. Quote

I did have my Saitek Panels binded to some switches. I now control over power now. But why should an external device have control over the internal switches? Is this an XP11 thing? Never happens in P3D. Edited June 21, 2020 by scotfleiger Quote
Ch.Cole Posted June 21, 2020 Report Posted June 21, 2020 Some things come with strange axis assignments. Maybe some of the switches were bound to some functions that overrode some settings. Quote

Maybe some of the switches were bound to some functions that overrode some settings. Things are still not right. I have unassigned all device switches to remove any possibility of interference. The fuel selectors (red and green) keep going back to OFF as does the rotary GEN1/BAT/GEN2 selector (bottom of instrument panel). I can turn the starters with autostart with no result (no start) but the Start Selector has no effect. This is getting ridiculous - it should not be this difficult. Quote

This sounds like behavior that only triggers when the plugin isn't being activated by Gizmo. Quote

scotfleiger Posted June 22, 2020 Author Report Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) I did another un/re-install but this time I selected the stable Gizmo plugin. I had to for the first time enter my X-Aviation details on the XP11 main screen. The Islander controls (fuel tanks, battery, etc) are now responding and I am able to start the engines.

Ben Russell Posted June 22, 2020 Report Posted June 22, 2020 The Log.txt provided indicates that everything was triggering as expected with the Gizmo beta. Not sure why you didn't see the licensing window. Quote
scotfleiger Posted June 22, 2020 Author Report Posted June 22, 2020 Everything now working fine with several flights completed. Thank you. 1 Quote
Dave_h Posted June 23, 2020 Report Posted June 23, 2020 Hello, very good plane but, I am having to reinstall after every restart of X-Plane. The fuel cocks (red and green) keep going back to OFF as does the rotary GEN1/BAT/GEN2 selector (bottom of instrument panel). I can move the starters with no result (no start left or right). All switch's move but don't activate anything. In aircraft popup no fuel and unable to move the slider, if put fuel in via X-Plane still shows nil as do the fuel gauges in panel. After reinstall all work well, have tried gizmo64 beta, staple and download from web all work then after restart of X-Plane it fails also on restart it defaults to X-Plane GPS not Reality XP GNS's. If I reinstall all works once, if I reinstall gizmo64 all works once. I have Thrustmaster warthog Hotas and one Saitek throttle quadrant with Goflight mcp, LGT11 annd several switch panels. X-Plane 11 v11.41r via steam. Log file attached. Hoping for a solution regards Dave H (EGHD) log.txt Quote
scotfleiger Posted June 23, 2020 Author Report Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) @Dave_h I also have the Saitek Switch panels with the XSaitekPanels plugin. I found I have to disable/remove this plugin for the BN2B to work. I suspect there is a conflict with the Gizmo plugin. I have been investigating modifying the XSaitekPanel configuration but each time I have had to disable the plugin to fly the aircraft. Edited June 23, 2020 by scotfleiger Quote

Dave_h Posted June 24, 2020 Report Posted June 24, 2020 Hello, Thanks for advise I have reinstalled again and gismo64 (Beta) did a short circuit and restarted X-Plane another circuit no issues. Then restarted X-Plane and another circuit so all seems well. I have enclosed log file again in case of use to you, regards Dave H. EGHD Log2.txt Quote

X-Plane plugins shouldn't be deleting themselves, so my guess would be some overactive antivirus seeing a false positive. Quote
Dave_h Posted June 27, 2020 Report Posted June 27, 2020 Well spotted on checking it was missing, reinstalleed and working again, so now have to find what is removing it, many thanks Coop Regards Dave H 1 Quote
