TallTanBarbie Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 Hello, I've been using the G500 for a while without any problems until recently -- I'm now getting a "blank" black window. I'm not trying to integrate it into an existing aircraft. I just use it as a popout. Not only that, but I've tried uninstalling / reinstalling and even trying to run it on XP12, but I still get a black window -- either with or without the bezel. The bezel shows up, but the graphics / map window is still blank black. Any Suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 To make sure it isn't something specific with your system, does the G500 and popups work in the C172 G500 that is installed by default? If it is, for the aircraft where you installed it to, we look at the dataref specified in g500.cfg for determining the power state of the G500. The default is: "power_dataref = sim/cockpit/electrical/battery_on" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bezel shows, but the PFD/MFD screens are just blank. Edited January 12, 2023 by TallTanBarbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTanBarbie Posted January 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) It was the license window not showing up again. The X-Aviation license window only shows up on a single X-Plane screen in *windowed* mode. I thought this had been fixed since XP12, but that was my mistake. It (the G500) is working now in XP11 and XP12. TerraMaxx works too with the FSRealWX weather app letting it know what season it is -- I have X-Codr's Winterizer snow terrain textures installed. Good thing I double-checked. Edited January 13, 2023 by TallTanBarbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Russell Posted January 13, 2023 Report Share Posted January 13, 2023 Sorry for the inconvenience. This is fixed in private dev builds which will hopefully be public beta soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
