after installation I started a flight with a 1011 FMC. Aircraft was loaded. it was impossible to load the ATC route from P3D4 only strange signs came up. So I entered the route manually.
Then P3D4 crashed to desktop. Until now I am unable to load the 1011 FMC. P3D will not load and its running in backround.
The INS version is loaded correctly

any Ideas?

P3D V4 hangs completely when I select an FMC version.  INS versions are fine however.  Regards, Mark

The issue with importing P3D v4 flight plans is being investigated by the developer, as are the CTDs that some users are encountering. We're not aware of any issues with clickspots in the FMC variant though.

Please submit support tickets and our team can then properly log and investigate this.

Thanks
Martn

Hi there,

Anyone noticed that at night the landing lights flood the cockpit? The taxi light does too, to a lesser degree. It's blinding. 

I also had the weird symbols after importing a flightplan so I had to load it manually. Preparing for my first flight with the Tristar, lets see how it goes.

I thought it was just me. Glat to know I'm not crazy after all. Not many people like to flight at night but I'm one of them and yes the cockpit gets Lid Up very bright by turning the landing lights.it's like the aircraft body would be made out of glass
....Hope they can do some about it...is anoying

Just installed L1011 Pro into Prepar3d V4. when I go to program the FMS, nothing goes into the scratchpad when I hit the keys on the FMS or even if I try and use my keyboard. Why? I uninstalled the L1011 and reinstalled to see if that would fix it but it didn't.

So just fight released a service pack to address the CTD but ignored the rest of the problem where you can't actually use the FMC because noting gets entered when you click it or have I missed something

No issues have been ignored. We are currently waiting for the external developer (who is currently very busy on their own 787 product) to get back to us with further FMC fixes. Unfortunately these are not issues that we are able to fix.

Thanks

Please ensure that you have the FMC font installed if you cannot see any inputs/characters in the scatchpad -  http://www.justflight.com/support/tristar-professional/db46495" rel="nofollow - http://www.justflight.com/support/tristar-professional/db46495

Any news on a patch for this thing?

At the moment it's putting the 'just' in Just Flight, as in, it's just barely flyable, but with no working FMC, landing lights which look like you've just dropped a nuclear weapon on Nagasaki and a few other niggles, it's like flying something you've rescued out of a boneyard and not a pleasant experience at all.

If it wasn't for the fact that I'd leased it for my fleet in Air Hauler for about 5 million per month, so it's got to pay its way, it'd be permanently in the hangar, and even then each flight is a nightmare, with it being a constant battle not to have the thing piledrive into the runway on landing because the trim is so messed up.

An update has been released to address the FMC flight plan corruption issue -  http://www.justflight.com/support/tristar-professional/43079cb" rel="nofollow - http://www.justflight.com/support/tristar-professional/43079cb

The landing light issue is still being addressed.

Thanks

Having a problem with engine 2. Scenario & aircraft starts up with all three engines running but engine 2 dies almost immediately. I have installed yesterday's update but...

Rebooted system, restarted P3D v4.1, used both INS and FMC versions, and tried both manual restart and ctrl-E-2 restarts but nothing works.  New issue or am I doing something incorrectly?

I’m just wondering if anything has been done about the grotesque illumination of the cockpit??? On this new update it does not mentions anything about that!!

It's not something that we've seen, or seen reported before now, so please contact the support team so we can investigate further.

Thanks

Hi Otniel,

Please see my post above. That issue is linked to the landing lights.

Thanks

any idea as to when the cockpit lighting / landing light issue will be addressed? It is impossible to fly at night with this problem. During takeoff with landing lights on gauges are unreadable.

Hi Norbert,

The landing light issue is caused by changes that Lockheed Martin made to the lighting system in P3D v4 and affects all aircraft with landing lights that are rear of the cockpit. We are still investigating how to resolve that issue.

Thanks

Unless this is something specific to P3Dv4 (which I doubt), I'd say that this is most definitely pilot error - have a read of the manual, or for simplicity head to the following thread:

http://forum.justflight.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=31839&title=elevator-trim

You're looking for discussion of DLC, and you need to learn how to fly that rather than expecting it to handle as other airliners on approach and then blaming trim when it doesn't. That will probably explain why you 'arrive' rather than landLOL

Cheers,
Paul.

Thank you Martin, there must be a fix for this as there is no issue with any PMDG aircraft that have behind cockpit landing lights i.e. in the wings or is it only affecting the front wheel landing light behind cockpit?

I remember some addon developer having the same problem and posting about this somewhere after having solved it. Unfortunately I don't remeber who it was (Flysimware? A2A?) or where it was (Avsim? Sim-Outhouse? FSDeveloper? A2A forums?), and with a quick search I couldn't find it between various reports of such problems in various other aircraft.

So the only "help" I can give is that you're not alone with this problem and that a solution is possible (and may be hiding in a public forum)

Edit: And just then someone posts in the thread I remembered, so my subscription got triggered.
It was Flysimware in the Avsim forum:

But it wasn't really a solution, but only an analysis of the problem, an idea of how it might be fixable, and the suggestion to talk to LM to change/fix this in an upcoming release.
