Chocks still attached

Online flying with other 310 REDUX users all of then still have chocks attached while taxiing around the airport. Teamspeak conversations goes along the lines of
"You're chocks are still on"
"Oh thanks"
"OK"
"Just checked and they are off"
"Well I can still see them"
"Huh"
My chocks etc are off so it's not a sympathy thing and it's not just me.
What can be done to cure this albeit, minor irritation?
It's the little things etc.. :D

Well, that's certainly odd! The logic is set such that if you load C&D, the chocks will be set automatically. If you load R2R, chocks will be hidden.

Further, additional logic will freeze the sim position if either parking brake or chocks are set... :?

Ah! Multiplayer doesn't respect L:vars, so considering that chocks are hidden when (L:C310_Chocks,bool) is TRUE, then in MP that won't get shared, meaning the chocks will continue to appear. I'll have to invert the logic conditions then which means yet another full installer... :|

:| ? Don't you mean :evil: ?
'These things are sent to try us'
or
'If you can't take a joke, you shouldn't have joined.' :D

The great thing is you know what causes it and even more important...You know how to fix it. Top man. :)

I'm a bit puzzled by the full installer regime. :? Still, you know best.

Honestly, I could have simply provided the .mdl file but would still need to compile a new installer for new customers, so why not save a step?

This morning's installer includes both .mdl files, as well as adjustments to the Logic and Preflight .xml files. I noticed that the red pitot and engine covers had the same logic condition as the chocks, so I fixed them as well.

It is set up so that any possible minor fixes can be handled via the update function of MVAMS. But, we aren't there yet.

Hi. I'm using v.180510 SP3.6 and when I load the 310 Redux the engines are running (as they should be), but the chocks and pitot covers are still there. I'm running P3D v.3.2.3 . It sounds like this could be related to another problem I'm having with saving and loading scenarios. I just posted about this in the 310 Redux Support Forum ("310 Redux won't save/load in ground scenario properly").

Thanks,
Jeff Smith

Jeff, I answered this in your other thread. Same applies here as well.
