Fuel Selector after update

[giacer]

Hello

After the update I found a problem with the fuel tank selector

I mean, if I select the C400 left or right tank, changing the plane I will not be able to change the fuel selector again, it automatically returns to the position of C400, in the video give a better idea.

I put the right fuel selector in the C400, and using the Cessna for example ,changing the fuel switch it back on the right.

stardust,

I tested this using the latest version of the C400 (1.1).  I started up the sim an loaded the C400 and set the fuel tank to "right".  I then loaded the stock C172 and the fuel tank was set at both and I was able to set it to left, right, both, or off with no problem.  So, as you can see, I am not seeing the same behavior.

Can you tell me a little more about your setup?  Are you using XP 9.50, or something earlier? Also are you running on a Mac or Windows?

If anyone else can test this I would appreciate it.

I'm sorry Jim, I forgot the main thing  :

Windows XP 32, X plane 9.50 rc3, after the patch did 'nt work, I am sure because I love this plane but I also use two other planes and I discovered the problem with trying just another plane, I got the menu set to start cold and dark , I tryed to flight with another aircraft and i haven't able to start the engine about the problem reported.

Can I try to remove the patch and repeat the test ?

Giampiero,

No, at this point DO NOT remove the patch.  I will get back to you.

Hi Jim! i fount the problem! ;D

when I open the C400 in plugins admin are 2 files: 1.0 and 1.1

note: image there is a mistake I made the screen without check on 1.1, but obviously it is a mistake

when I change plane

I still have 1.1 live

if I remove the check, I can change the fuel selector!

I can go even so, no problem, now that I know answer, but if you solve a solution, I'm here  ;D

[Zach Decou]

I'm probably not the one to speak to this, but I think if you are seeing your c400 plugins in your plugin admin while another aircraft is loaded, it is an indication that you have your c400 plugins in the wrong folder.

The c400 plugin needs to be in JGX_C400_1.10/plugins/JGX_C400_1.10 and not in X-Plane/Resources/Plugins. You should only move plugins to the latter file path if the installation documentation instructs you to do so.

Hope I'm on the right track here...

By the way, the update email did not instruct me to delete the JGX_C400_1.0 plugin folder when moving the new plugin folder into place. Until future clarification, I will have both plugin folders in place simultaneously.

Giampiero,

Check the contents of your plugins folder (for the C400 ) to make sure that you updated it correctly.

Inside the plugins folder there should be another folder named "JGX_C400_1.10" and inside that folder there should be two files, one named mac.xpl and the other named win.xpl.

Also, as Zach has outlined above, make sure you have the plugins folder inside the aircraft (C400) folder and not in X-Plane/Resources/plugins.

Zach

Zach,

Step 3 of the installation and download instructions stated...

3. Inside of your currently installed Cessna Corvalis aircraft folder you'll find a folder called: "plugins". Open this folder and delete the folder named "JGX_C400v1.00".

That is correct. I need glasses. Thanks!

[giacer]

it is an indication that you have your c400 plugins in the wrong folder.

The c400 plugin needs to be in JGX_C400_1.10/plugins/JGX_C400_1.10 and not in X-Plane/Resources/Plugins.

this was the error!  , I added the update to the plugins folder of XP and not in the C400 folder  :-\

Jim and Zach Decou thanks for the help! now everything works

Why master switches are disconnected after 2 minutes? To include them then it is impossible... (The switch always becomes off!

XP9.50 r3 win7-64 bit

If to load after that Falco, it fuel swither as all time on off!

Can you please take a screenshot of X-Plane with the plug-in admin window open?

Again does not work! Some days were normal.

artoor,

Please make sure the plugin is in the proper folder (JGX_C400_1.10/plugins/JGX_C400_1.10) and not in the (X-Plane/Resources/Plugins) as Zach described above.

I have found an error. The folder at me was called JGX_C400_1.1, and it is necessary - JGX_C400_1.10

[dklxplane]

My problem with the fuel selector is that after setting it left OR right, it returns to off! I'm totally unable to fly the C400!

[JGregory]

This should only occur if the aircraft has not been properly "authorized".

When did you buy the Corvalis?

Dennis,

As Jim has explained, this is the result of an de-activated aircraft. You are:

A) Due for a periodic activation check-up

or

B ) Have re-installed or moved the C400 to a computer or HD without running the installer itself.

If it is option A, it's likely that you do not have Gizmo installed. Perhaps by your own reasonings. Until you re-install the product or Gizmo itself, this will not work.

[dklxplane]

I bought the C400 at its initial release, and have updated it with each email notification (v1.3 now). I have Gizmo installed, and recall that there was an upgrade when I bought X-Aviation's T-28 and/or T-34. But the C400 has not been working longer than that.

Some aircraft do not work with Gizmo (Fly J Sim's Dash 8 Q400 for one) and I have to remove Gizmo from the plugins folder before starting X-Plane. How do I re-authorize the C400, please?

I would suggest you contact Cameron at X-Aviation using... http://www.x-aviatio.../contact_us.php, and describe your situation. They can help you get re-activated.

I've reinstalled the C400 and the fuel tank selector now works and I am able to fly the plane. However I've found a recurring problem: the brakes do not work, and a new problem: the softkeys on the PFD do not work.

I've had problems in the past with saved situations, if I park and shut down the C400 as you would with a real plane, on startup the brakes would not work. However if I opened a new C400 via the Open Aircraft menu in X-Plane, the brakes DID work. But now with the 1.3 update, they do NOT work. I can reset my pedal brakes via the X-Plane via the Settings:Joystick, Keys and Equipment menu, but they still do not work with the C400. I have not had this problem with any other aircraft.

As far as the PFD softkeys, whichever one I press turns grey but nothing else happens. It opens with the Traffic, Topo, Terrrain, Strmscp, etc. page, but I can not get back to the page that allows me to set the LOC1, LOC2, GPS display or the inset views. Any ideas?

[Cameron]

Hi, there,

I bought the C400 at its initial release, and have updated it with each email notification (v1.3 now). I have Gizmo installed, and recall that there was an upgrade when I bought X-Aviation's T-28 and/or T-34. But the C400 has not been working longer than that.

That would make sense. 1.3 is required to work with other X-Aviation products.

Some aircraft do not work with Gizmo (Fly J Sim's Dash 8 Q400 for one)...

This does not make sense. Fly J Sim's Q400 is coded in Gizmo. It HAS to work with Gizmo!

I've reinstalled the C400 and the fuel tank selector now works and I am able to fly the plane. However I've found a recurring problem: the brakes do not work, and a new problem: the softkeys on the PFD do not work.

Do you have two versions of the Corvalis plugin running in your plug-in admin? This sounds very odd...

Brakes are not something we control AT ALL with this software.

I've had problems in the past with saved situations, if I park and shut down the C400 as you would with a real plane, on startup the brakes would not work. However if I opened a new C400 via the Open Aircraft menu in X-Plane, the brakes DID work. But now with the 1.3 update, they do NOT work. I can reset my pedal brakes via the X-Plane via the Settings:Joystick, Keys and Equipment menu, but they still do not work with the C400. I have not had this problem with any other aircraft.

Saved situations may cause issues with this aircraft because there are many custom drefs that X-Plane is not used to dealing with by default. Drefs are likely not being correctly saved in your situation setup.

[dklxplane]

Sorry I somehow reposted my last post. I bought both the Dash 8 and the Challenger 300 jet on the same day and confused the two: it is the Challenger 300 that requires removal of Gizmo in order to run. Sorry.

I restarted X-Plane and used the Plugin Administrator to see what plugins loaded. I found only one jgxC400v1.2 but think in the past I might have seen two? Anyway, the brakes are now working again and the PDF is back to normal. I may not have restarted X-Plane after reinstalling the C400 v1.3, that's all I can think of. Thanks for your help, I now look forward to flying my favorite GA aircraft again!
