PC-12 with Simflyer GMXv1

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Quite a while back I had created a retrofit for the Pilatus PC-12 that seemed to work bloody beautifully. 

However, I just recently aquired a new hard drive and reinstalled the F1 PC-12 with my retrofit and now for the life of me can't get that blasted "dummy gauge" out from in front of it. Everything Ilook up seems to lead to it being a modeling issue and not a gauge. 

Does anyone know if Flight1 updated the PC-12 with some new model that I am unaware of? 

I did a review on this avionics package on my web site, and as one can see clearly from the graphics, it worked great. If I can butt heads withanyone and get this working again I'd love to submit it for the CFG's section in the Simflyer Site. 

FYI -- for administrator information I am posting this in both the Simflyer and Flight1 forums to see if I can get an answer to this. The link to the review that I did is 

http://guildofdarkhaven.org/flying/review_simflyer_gmxv1.htm 

Onthat opage you can see extensive screenshots of the merge. The situation now is that the actual GMX20 gauge is appearig BEHIND some other "dummy gauge" in the Flight1 model. It worked before -- I know it can work again after I figure out just what the blazes to correct. 

Hope someone can give me a lead as to what I did wrong after this new install..

	Followup -- I uploaded a shot of the new MDL problem with this mystery "gauge" that I cannot get rid of, but I KNWO there is a way to get rid of it, because look at the two screenshots. http://guildofdarkhaven.org/flying/images/reviews/simflyer_g mxv1/06.jpg http://guildofdarkhaven.org/flying/images/PC-12/Issue.jpg Any ideas? FYI I tried it both with and without the panel_as_texture=0 line in the FS9.CFG - so that isnt it.

	Guess we posted at same time (259 and 300 respectively). I see it is indeed burried. I have not had this problem with the WX500 in that particular location. Can I see the VC entries? That would help in troubleshooting the issue.

	PROBLEM SOLVED!!!! It was my stupid laziness. When I reinstalled my FS after the hard drive format I neglected to pay attention to the fact that I clicked on and installed my OLD PC-12 Wrapper -- V1.0 -- and the new version, V2.1, is the version that makes the PC-12 compatable with my CFG. smacks forehead I downloaded the update and it fixed the issue right up. I thought about this when I went to fly the Police Specter model and was thinking to myself, "WTF? Where the hell is my VC for this aircraft?" So if anyone has GMXv1 and has PC-12 V2.1 installed, use the CFG above to have a VERY nice setup for your bird :-)
