[Philipp] 1.4.2 - iMac issues

[jergp]

Hi guys I'm brand new here, hope this is the place to post this....

I bought the crj-200 , I beleive it was the 1.4.0 it worked fine, I updated to 1.4.1 and everything seemed to work fine. After I installed 1.4.2, it seems something has gone wrong. After loading I get a message displayed over the view that reads : " error loading navdata or magnetic " nothing in the plane seems to work, there is no power. When flipping the main battery nothing happens, all displays are dark, and most switches do not function. This occures with both "cold and dark" and engiens started. I have been trying to search this out and looking at the topics here but, no one seems to have the same problem occur. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the aircraft, and have no clue to what may have occurred. Any one have any Idea. Every other aircraft seems to function normally.

Thank you Jer

Hi, Jer,

What operating system is this on? This really sounds as though you have an install that's gone entirely wrong.

Can you please:

1. Open X-Plane

2. Load up the CRJ

3. Exit X-Plane

4. Post the log.txt file here located in your main X-Plane directory

Sorry, I don't know how to upload a link...

Hi, Jer,

Did you by chance ever try and run the hardware tester prior to purchasing?

This sounds like a relatively aged setup.

Yes I did. I had two versions that worked fine. It was the update to 1.4.2 that had things go funny.

To clarify , everything worked fine before 1.4.2 . I tried the test, it said it worked. I purchased 1.4.0 ; everything worked fine, I uploaded to 1.4.1 ; everything worked fine, then I uploaded to 1.4.2 ; then things went funny. I reinstalled. With my " aged setup " I had 25 fps. and I enjoyed it. But yes I did run the " hardware tester " prior to purchesing.

Hi, Jer,

I apologize if you feel "aged setup" was meant in a bad way (really just a fact of life with computers these days). I'm a heavy Mac user as well, and also had a very similar card to yours in my MacBook Pro. Needless to say, the CRJ would not work. To be more than frank with you, I'm quite surprised your dual core computer with only 256MB of vram can handle XP 10 with this add-on so well.

We'll wait for Philipp to chime in here and see if he can figure out the culprit.

I'm sorry , i didn't mean to think " aged setup " was suposed to be taken badly. I was trying to emphasize that everything ran fine before. I was hopping someone had the same problem. I can not seem to find anyone who has the same problem as I have. It leaves me as mistified .

When the "no navdata or no magnetic data" message pops up, it means just that. The plugin checks if it can find navdata and the WMM2005.cof file where they are supposed to be.

First thing you should try would be to clean the navdata cache.

You do this by using Finder to go to X-Plane/Aircraft/X-Aviation/CRJ-200/plugins/CRJAvionics/cache and delete all files in this folder.

If this doesn't help, you have a faulty installation in some way, because the navdata is not where it is supposed to be. A clean reinstall might help here.

Thank you, that did the trick. I can not believe it was something so simple. I mean everthing was toast before , even rendering problems like buttons missing from the FMC, and others too. Thank you for the quick response, I really really apprieciate it.
