Nav / Radio, Gauges without function

Post by Ufonil »

I use the Comanche 250 in the current version with WIN 10 and current hardware. Problem: the Nav / Radio has no function and does not turn on. Various Gauges do not work: Cyl.Temp, Fueltanks, OilTemp

Does somebody has any idea?

Yes, circuit breakers are all in there. If I pull the circuit break for the fuel pump, the fuel pump stops. When I press the circuit break, it starts again. But Nav, radios, autopilot and Gaugeligts show no function. The tank and temperature indicators work.

Hello Uwe,

Please can you let us know which host sim you've installed the Comanche to? (FSX, P3Dv3, P3Dv4 etc.)

Thanks,
Nick

Hello,

how are you loading into the flight?

Are you loading a default aircraft first and then switching to the Comanche?

thanks,

Hi Uwe,

Please can you also confirm if you're using the new A2A installer (more info here)? If you are, your installation of the Comanche will show version 18.4.22.0 on the Windows 'Apps & Features' or 'Uninstall or change a program' screen.

Thanks,
Nick

Hello Nick, hello Lewis,
the version of the Comanche is 18.4.22.0
Then I start the Comanche directly without first loading a default aircraft.
I downloaded the program on 07.07.18. The file size is 202,382 kb. Is this already the new installer?

Best regards
Uwe

Thanks Uwe - yes, that's the new installer that you have.

Please can you try loading a default P3D aircraft in the sim and then switch to the Comanche after it's loaded. If you've modified your default P3D scenario to use the Comanche, that can cause problems.

If this doesn't help, please can you let us know if you have any antivirus software running during installation, and if so from which provider?

Thanks,
Nick

Hi Nick, I just tested it. Sorry, no change. See pictures ... I do not have an antivirus scanner.

Hi Uwe,

Just for info, you'll need to upload any screenshot to a file sharing service (e.g. Dropbox) and share links. More info here.

Thanks,
Nick

Hi Uwe,

Thanks for the extra info posted in that Dropbox folder. One thing which I noticed is that the screenshot of the Comanche cockpit shows it doesn't have an avionics master switch fitted. (It should be directly to the right of the pilot's yoke).

This wasn't included on the original product release, but was added with a subsequent update and would also be present if you installed with the new installer. Is it possible there's some confusion, and you actually (re)installed with an old copy of the installer?

Thanks,
Nick
