Manuals Corrupted, Plane Won't Start

[MarkHargrove]

After purchasing the Cessna Corvalis and installing it on my X-Plane 10.11 system, I tried to read the POH and tutorial -- in both cases Adobe reports the files are damaged and cannot be repaired.  The "spec&desc.pdf" and "LargeBrochure.pdf" files both open fine (but don't really do me any good).

 

I loaded up the aircraft in XP to give it a try anyway and I cannot start the engine.  There is a CAS message that says "Fuel Valve"  -- I cannot *find* the fuel valve to check it (which is why I wanted the manuals....).

 

Separately, I have a sim setup that has multiple networked displays.  I probably should have checked before I bought the plane, but am I not allowed to copy the aircraft files to my 'external visual' display systems? (they don't seem to work after doing so, anyway).

 

Thanks,

I can't seem to reproduce the corrupted file issue. I just downloaded a copy of the Corvalis which resides on the server to test and all worked as expected. As an alternative you may download the POH directly off of the C400 product page: http://www.x-aviation.com/catalog/cessna-corvalis-p-54.html

 

You can copy the aircraft to the external display systems, but simply copying files over will not work. You'll need to use the Corvalis installer on each machine.

Thanks for the extremely fast response!  I was able to d/l the POH from the link you gave me -- it's fine.  If you're interested, I can send you one of the corrupted manuals.  I don't know that it will tell you anything though.  Should I try downloading the original zip file again?

 

Also, thanks for the information on setting up for my external visuals -- that's a sigh of relief from me you hear!
