No Head up, blank DDIs

--- Quote from: Amigo on January 15, 2020, 02:37:43 am ---Pat, I just tried a short test mission with a touch+go and a landing. The bird flies beautifully, all controls work normal. S/B, hook and stall-warning o.k.
You can kiss the runway with her but she won't tell or show you where and how fast she is going.
How can we make her talk?
Regards, Amigo

Now now, you know the Navy forbids flared, soft landings!
Set up at about 700 fpm descent, keeping the AOA in the middle, and fly it down onto the runway. No flare, no soft landing, SET the mains down!
:D ;D
If you have the 75k dll, get rid of it. Leave the one in the "for FSX" folder, but otherwise, hunt all the other copies down and rub 'em out. Including if you have a copy in the sim's Gauge folder, in the root folder, ANYwhere.
Are you getting a red bar across the top of the screen when you first load in?
Are you sure, SURE you have the .NET Framework 3.5 installed? Use the Control Panel Programs feature to be certain.
Do you have the latest FSUIPC, specifically for P3DV4.whatever you have? IN the Modules folder of the sim?
Are you sure you have the right Simconnect for that sim installed? I don't know if P3D comes with the older copies of Simconnect, like FSX does, but if you DL the SDK for your particular sim, the right Simconnect will be included. Make sure you actually install it, don't just look and see if it's there.
I don't know if you'll be able to check all this fun stuff until you get home buuuutttt.....
Let us know how things go :D
Pat☺

Is FSUIPC required ???
I've never installed it before, should I have ??

Amigo:
hey man:
a 750-fpm descent for landing sounds like a high angle dive-bomb attack to me, where the main landing gear shows up at your feet at impact.
Business is more serious:
1 no, I don't have a red bar on the screen
2 .net framework 3.5 was and is active
3 I have installed the three folders of Sim Connect
4 FSUIPC is only for FSX
Result: none; still no Head up and still blank DDIs. But the aircraft flies beautifully!?! How come??
Please check and refer to the Topic on this very page 1 "FCS Fail", what to do?
On this Topic, Jimi 08 talks about the HornetFCS.dll file in the gauge folder.
He did not specify 75KB or 109KB.
Hi Gary 20;
I appreciate, you being on this page with your comments.
Would you please help me out, by telling me what .dll files you have in your folder system?
I have no access to my main computer back home right now, to check myself.
Before making any file and folder changes, I like to hear how other people's folder look like.
At my place here, I am using a brand new I-7 PC in the past two months, with no problems; running X-Plane 11 with F-18 v1.51 Rhino as a third-party bird.
My assumption is, if the sophisticated X-Plane 11 simulator works flawless and the Prepar3D v4.5 works flawless with the default aircraft, it might be a third-party problem. (?)
I have to keep searching and hope I get further help from you guys.
Thanks for your time, Amigo

Hi Amigo
I load all of my P3d v4.5 addons through the external addons method. So it probably looks a little different.
My panels folder has the HornetFCS.dll at 109 kb and there's also a HornetFCS.pdb file with it.
Would still like to know if FSUIPC is a requirement for this AC. Cant find any info in the manuals.
Hope this helps
Gary

Hi Gary;
Thanks a lot for your help and your file+folder blow up.
I never heard from Jimi or Pat that FSUIPC would be required.
Back home my Hornet flies perfect without FSUIPC.
However, if you go to google and type in Pete Dowson,
you will get the whole spectrum of updated FSUIPCs.
Again, thanks for your help, Amigo
