NewEnglandPilot Posted May 7, 2021 Report Share Posted May 7, 2021 I recently purchased the G5 package that comes with the 172 for X-Plane 11. However, after installing, when I load that plane for use, the G5s are blacked out - they very occasionally flash on super quick then go back to black. When I try to open any of the pop-up menus from the shortcuts that appear on the right side of the screen they flash on and off rapidly. Any fixes for this?

Coop Posted May 7, 2021 Report Share Posted May 7, 2021 In order to debug what is going on, we will need you to send us a copy of the X-Plane log.txt file. You can find a guide to get this file here: How to find the X-Plane log.txt file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 I'm guessing both of these are caused by the bugs with 2D rendering with AMD graphics cards in X-Plane due to driver bugs with AMD. Turning off Vulkan seems to resolve this, hopefully AMD gets their fix out soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEnglandPilot Posted May 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 OK, turning off Vulcan got the G5s to come on. However, the GNS-430 and ADF are still black. The 530 comes on, but not the lower 430? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEnglandPilot Posted June 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 They do not - the 2nd navcom & adf are now black in inop. Has anyone else experienced this glitch? A bit frustrating for a paid for app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit frustrating for a paid for app. To be clear, the avionics you're having issues with are not "paid" for and are driven by stock X-Plane. Frustrating, yes. But, there seems to be something driver related at play here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, everything that is supposed to be on is on. When I use an Arrow I also have with a G430 and Narco 12, both radios work. It seems to be an issue with the 2nd Garmin, but wasn't there before downloading this G5 package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
