Stuck in Place on Runway post 3.180904 Install

[haroldeh]

Uninstalled prev version and installed this new one. Aircraft loads fine and appears to be functioning properly. Increase throttles to max and a/c is stuck in place, does not move forward but the airspeed gauge shows gradually increasing airspeed.

Uninstalled this vers and installed previous (3.180412) and the plane flies at it should. Loaded th a/c at the same airport/runway as with the other problematic version.

Did you release the parking brakes? If still on, the aircraft will remain in place.

[haroldeh]

Yes, confirmed the parking brake knob was all the way in (off). Cycled the parking brake. Left it off. Brakes are off though I have no movement of the rudder pedals. Full throttle. Engine rev'd up. The airspeed gradually increased to 100 (before I pulled the throttle back) all while still sitting in the same spot on the runway.

Also cannot slew the aircraft. Tried several airports and different runways.

Is there an anchor that needs to be hauled in? Or maybe there's an anchor AND an airspeed gauge problem???

[N4GIX]

When the parking brake is set, the following events are set true (lat, long, and attitude. This will prevent slewing. The els{ condition resets those three events to false:

Code: Select all

    (A:BRAKE PARKING POSITION,percent) 0 >
    if{ 1 (>K:FREEZE_LATITUDE_LONGITUDE_SET) 1 (>K:FREEZE_ATTITUDE_SET) }
    els{ 0 (>K:FREEZE_LATITUDE_LONGITUDE_SET) 0 (>K:FREEZE_ATTITUDE_SET) }
    

Look in the ..\panel\TW_XMLGauge folder, and find the above three lines (line 128, 129, and 130).

Replace the above with this to disable that part of the script. Let me know if it works for you now.

Code: Select all

    <!-- THIS DISABLES THE LAT/LONG/ATTITUDE FREEZE
    (A:BRAKE PARKING POSITION,percent) 0 &gt;
    if{ 1 (>K:FREEZE_LATITUDE_LONGITUDE_SET) 1 (>K:FREEZE_ATTITUDE_SET) }
    els{ 0 (>K:FREEZE_LATITUDE_LONGITUDE_SET) 0 (>K:FREEZE_ATTITUDE_SET) }
    -->

My ..\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\SimObjects\Airplanes\MV_C310R\panel folder does not have a TW_XMLGauge folder in it.

Did you disable your av prior to downloading and installing?

Shift 3----remove shocks then you`r off

[SAWT]

I have the same problem and in addition if I start a flight in the air the aircraft does not move although it makes all the usual in-flight sounds.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the previous version which works correctly.

AV was disabled during download and install

[haroldeh]

Did you disable your av prior to downloading and installing?

Yes.

My ..\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\SimObjects\Airplanes\MV_C310R\panel folder does not have a TW_XMLGauge folder in it.

Oops! My Bad. That should have been ..\C310_XMLGauge folder!

I found similar (but not exact) code in the C310-Logic.xml file in that folder:

(A:BRAKE PARKING POSITION,percent) 0 >
(A:SIM ON GROUND,bool) and
(L:C310_Chocks,bool) 1 == or
if{ 1 (>K:FREEZE_LATITUDE_LONGITUDE_SET) 1 (>K:FREEZE_ATTITUDE_SET) }
els{ 0 (>K:FREEZE_LATITUDE_LONGITUDE_SET) 0 (>K:FREEZE_ATTITUDE_SET) }

I commented around that code:

<!--
(A:BRAKE PARKING POSITION,percent) 0 &gt;
(A:SIM ON GROUND,bool) and
(L:C310_Chocks,bool) 1 == or
if{ 1 (>K:FREEZE_LATITUDE_LONGITUDE_SET) 1 (>K:FREEZE_ATTITUDE_SET) }
els{ 0 (>K:FREEZE_LATITUDE_LONGITUDE_SET) 0 (>K:FREEZE_ATTITUDE_SET) }
-->

Success! I can now fly the a/c.

Thanks,
Harold

Further checking reveals the aircraft is now defaulting to having the chocks set and they have to be removed before flying. I re-enabled the previous code and removed the chocks and the aircraft will now move -- however, it still begs the question of why the airspeed indicator (and maybe other gauges) think the airplane is moving.

Also amazing how strong those chocks are to hold back a twin engine aircraft at full throttle!

I coded it this way in order to prevent the aircraft from "running away" when doing mag checks, etc. Brakes in both FSX and P3D don't hold worth a hoot!

I'm sorry I completely forgot that I had coded the system to use chocks also.
