Dash8 and P3D V2.4 and 3.1

RogerDee

The Goflight MCP and EFIS work just fine with the qgt750llnxpi download in V2.4.  However if I try and install via Detective into 3.1 get the following error message.

import has failed: Data at the root level is invalid,Line1, position 1.

any suggestions. Regards  Roger

Hi Roger,

You need to edit the file and add CR/LF to each line as discussed here: http://www.pollypotsoftware.org.uk/vanillaforums/discussion/comment/1731#Comment_1731

I have asked the author of the Q400 profile to use a later version of GIT to re-export the profile which should fix the problem. See http://www.pollypotsoftware.org.uk/vanillaforums/discussion/279/majestic-q400-efis-and-mcppro-profile#latest

Thx

Opened the file in word pad. Just a load of stuff that makes no sense to me..

On clicking on dective the file shown as needed  is mjc8q400  . click on import get the following.

The event "MJC_ADC_Baro_LCW" has errored:

System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Specified argument was out of range of valid values.

atA.SY.Q(String,Boolean)

atA.SY.Q(String, String, Boolean' Boolean). Task will not

be loaded. Please check the event in Detective!

GIT locks up and has to be closed down.

Hope this means something to somebody!

Thanks for your help-- looking forward for a solution that I can understand.

Hi Roger,

You will have to wait to see if the author of the profile will do as I have asked.

Roger you need to download the file from the thread I posted. Its a zip file added by Slayer at the very end of the thread. The one in the downloads section of the forum is still the old one.

Thx

Steve

Are you using Windows 10 upgraded from Windows 7?

RogerDee

No Win 7.  Still puzzled why 2.4 is OK and not 3.1

Roger

admin_pps

We all are! Are you using the latest Q400 version?

RogerDee

I have tried the pro and Pilot version. Have re installed Pilot version a couple of times.  At present using the Pilot version.

I have also re- installed 3.1 and ran a repair on Win 7 64 bit.

Hi Roger,

The author of the Q400 profile has stated this "I'm using the pro version 1.018. Note that there was an additional download from majestic to update some files and that was 1.018b2 - Those are needed to make it work with P3D3.1. Downloaded that through the user area on their website."

Hope that helps.

Best wishes

Steve

RogerDee

OK thanks. Will reinstall SSD some time next week.

Thanks  Roger

RogerDee

Have tried both Pilot and Pro with similar results.  Must be something corrupt in me machine.

Will re format and start again next week sometime.

Did you get the beta files from Majestics website and copy them over?

You need to go to this page in the "user area", put in your key and email address to get access to the files.

Windows 7 64 bit and Dash 8 Pro  installed. (incuding latest beta update)

 

Whilst I do not understand the problem I observe some differences between P3D 2.4 and 3.1 and GIT.

 

In 2.4 the field bottom right of Detective shows: MJC_ADC_Baro_L_CW

 

This works with 2.4 Note only GIT is active and not the GoFlight config program.

 

 IN P3D 3.1

 

Using wordpad the above text is: M_J_C__A_D_C__L__C_W"_

 

The error message when Detective crashes is

The event "MJC_ADC_Baro_LCW" has errored:

 

All slightly different.

 

No idea is this is of any help to the experts.

 

Note. In P3d 3.1 if I activate the GoFlight config program, all the lights on the MCP are on.

Have just installed latest version of GIT. Dective does not crash.

All the 7 segment displays on the MCP are at 0.

ON the MCV tab The MCP and EFIS are recognised, but the import buttons are grey.

In my Documents\Goflight the only entries are for the A320.

Roger

Slayer

I've seen it have all zeros before. It's because of not being set to compatible addon in GFConfig. Make double sure you have your P3D entries set correctly in options /program locations. Especially if you have 2.5 and 3.1 installed as they are not the same directory.

Slayer

RogerDee

Many Thanks.  . I have settled for the moment on 2.5 Will report back this pm.

Regards  Roger

RogerDee

With clean install P3D V2.5  works just fine.

Again, many thanks for you patience and expert help.
