Stone gauges since upgrade to P3D v4.4

[PapaLima]

Hi,

I have upgraded my P3D to v 4.4 I have redownloaded the latest Flight simulator plugins and installed it ok (it says P3D found and installed ok in the target P3D installed folder during the setup).
I check the Air Plugin log file and it says "all greens" with

Code: Select all

From AM Desktop, I see the two Pi and I can Save their panels from AM to them. They reload each time normally.

When I start P3D, the PI gauges of my two Raspberrys does not change anymore. The needles stays fixed.
I do not see where I missed something.

Any advice for me to check ?

Thanks
Philippe

Why did you feel the need to update the plugin?

Did you install an incompatible plugin?

I don’t think Air Player is as up to date as Air Manager so installing say the beta plugin that works with AM 3.5 beta could have broke compatibility with whatever you have on your Rpi’s.

Hi Tony,

Why did you feel the need to update the plugin?

I made a full clean install of P3D v4.4 because I was sill running the v4.1. So I reinstalled the AM FS plugin

Did you install an incompatible plugin?

FSUIPC 5.0 and PTA (P3D Tweak Asssistant) which is not a plugin but an external tool to assist in the graphic output settings

I don’t think Air Player is as up to date as Air Manager so installing say the beta plugin that works with AM 3.5 beta could have broke compatibility with whatever you have on your Rpi’s.

Yes before I upgraded, it worked well ... P3D v4.4 is too recent (released Dec 2nd) I think I now have to wait a new AM FS plugin release to align with the last P3D v4.4 version. I jumped too early in this new version I think...

AM guys will confirm

What I meant was did you install an incompatible Airplugin version. I think it’s more to do with the plugin v the AM version rather than the sim version. It may be that the sim needs something different and Ralph or Corjan will know that for sure.

Hello Philippe

i'm pretty sure Tony would suggest you to install 2.6 Beta 2 plugin rather than the 2.5 version you've already installed !?
here's the latest version :

Sorry Tony

No trouble Gilles.

Possibly also the other way. You have the latest beta plugin but you should be using the stable. It will depend on what AM and AP versions you are running.

Tony

Edit : Just re read the post and I see you installed 2.5 already so now not sure.

Hi,


It might indeed be the case that the latest Air Plugin 2.6 BETA 2 is not backwards compatible with Air Player 3.4.
It should be, but I did change something in the communication layer, so it might very well that I messed up somewhere.

Like suggested, would you mind installing the official plugin, and see how that goes?

Hi Corjan,

I have downloaded the Flightsim plugins 2.5 Home Use.exe from the link you provided.
During the installation, title bar is "Plugin installer .5.0.0"


Flight Simulator X is detected and marked Installed! (I do not have it on my machine anymore)
The Details are

The registry keys not found are maybe the source of my problem ?

The C:\Users\<user>\Air Plugin\p3d_log.txt file contents is : (I do not see any PI subscriptions..)

Hi,


Plugin installation seems to be fine. Don't worry about the registry paths not being found, there can be multiple places where it can find the installation path of Prepar3d.

It seems that the network connection cannot be established for some reason.

Can you connect to Prepar3d with normal AM?
