Jim Kallinen Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) Windows installer won`t accept my email to complete the install. Keeps rejecting saying "You need to specify a Value." ?Even deleted the first download and re-downloaded to try again. Still says the same.

txopo Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I purchased the CRJ via "X-Plane.org Store" and they have send me a link but it's the 1.4.0 version.

skipper63 Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Hi,since I installed version 1.4.1 in my X-Plane 10 Folder, I can't use version 1.3 in my X-Plane 9 installation any more. The switches for battery just won't flip. What is the problem here? I had version 1.3 running fine in X-Plane 9 and 10 before. I wanted to test version 1.41 first, before using it in X-Plane 9.Is there a work around? Would be appreciated!Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Sanders Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I have been over and over with this.. it is now crashing.. i used the UNINSTALLER CRJ-200. Re installed it using the 1.4.1 update installer SETUP- OSX.It now is missing the JROLLON PLANES folder that use to be located in the main x-plane 9 folder.When trying to start up x-plane, it encounters an error. Attached is my ERROR DETAILS and the LOG.TXT file after the installing the 1.4.1 and then tried to open x-plane 9.It stayed trying to load the CRJ-200 for about two min and then went on to load the other aircraft... after it loaded the CIRUS JET it then quit and displayed the ERROR details as attached to this post.Please tell me what i am doing wrong?I want to use the CRJ 1.4.1 with the most recent NAVIGRAPH data. I have already downloaded the vasFMC flight management- native as directed by this forum: http://forums.x-pilo...navdata-format/ but it failed to tell us where to put the new data seeing as the JROLLON PLANES folder is gone and it use to hold the CRJ navdata.CAN ANYONE HELP PLEASE!??!?!?!

If you go to:Aircrafts->CRJ200->plugins->CRJAvionics->navdatathe file structure found here is identical to the one found in the vasFMC_native_1201 package.So back up that folder (i do that by zipping its content right where it is) and put the 1201 data in there and you should be fine.For the other problem, I don't know.

The switches for battery just won't flip. 1.3 and 1.4 are mutually exclusive, since we changed the backend. You can't have both installed at the same time. 1.3 will stop working when 1.4 is installed, as the required backend was replaced.It now is missing the JROLLON PLANES folder that use to be located in the main x-plane 9 folder.I want to use the CRJ 1.4.1 with the most recent NAVIGRAPH data.

Other threads indicate people are having a hard time because of moving/copying/whatever navdata folders around - perhaps of the wrong format. Please try with a clean install first. If this works, proceed with updating the navdata as mentioned in the sticky post.Philipp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Sanders Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Oh ok! thank you! Now, What about the crashing? this didn't start until i reinstalled it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im X-Plane Folder kann es ja nicht sein. Well....dann werde ich die 1.41er wohl auch in der 9er installieren müssen. Usually I say never change a running system.Thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charly Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Hi folks,The performance improvement on my machine is just ENORMOUS. Gone from low 20's FPS to 35 constant. It just doesn't make any difference now, should the displays be on or off (was dropping fps from 35 to 20).What to say? THANKS!!!!!! I was about to drop my (previously bottlenecking) CPU and throw some hundred euros in a new one and its motherboard. I just won't.OK, now I will try the FMS. And BTW, Cameron: don't say installer will not erase settings... I now have to redo my complete custom pilotview set-up! ;-)Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Sanders Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I have solved my crashing issue... now i need a tutorial on the new FMC... it won't accept any waypoints... i have tried about 5 from 3 different locations that i use to fly out of in the old 1.3 CRJ and back... what happened?

Usually I say never change a running system.For the sake of other users, please stick to English.The "backend" I'm talking about is some libraries that are under $HOME/Library/Frameworks on Mac. Theoretically, it might work with both plugins - but given the amount of compatibility workarounds we have to do anyway, we decided it is best to start clean all over.Philipp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to put the first waypoint in the RLSK4 position on FPLN1 page, before you can proceed with your flightplan on the next page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll RTFM next time.BTW, pilotview setup is finished, I have a complete LFML-LFLB fpl loaded, included SID & STAR (love that new ACT-SEL logic!), up to here it works like a charm.

Sorry about that.I thought i had solved my Crashing on startup problem: I removed the CRJ from the folder and started it up... changed my start up aircraft to the C172 and it worked.. then i quit the XP program. I then restarted it with the CRJ installed... it started fine with the C172 as the first aircraft and then i was able to switch to the CRJ just fine... everything worked...but now the CRJ is set to be the pop up aircraft when loading and now it is crashing the same way... how can i fix this?
