J41 Ramp Manager Will Not Display

[Guest KHAOS]

Just got the J41 tonight, and I'm absolutely blown away with the quality. I think this'll be my new favourite aircraft. Everything works beautifully, however, the ramp manager won't display at all when pressing SHIFT+2, or by selecting it from the "View" menu. The GPS and FMS will pop-up just fine, but the ramp manager will not. Any ideas?

In any view ? E.g. outside view by pressing F11.Vangelis

That's correct, it won't display in any view, outside or inside. Loaded the tutorial after loading a default aircraft after a restart of FSX, and the problem still exists.

Hmmm. Something messed up your panel.cfg ?This ok ?[Window01]ident=10Background_color=0,0,0 visible=0window_size= 0.400, 0.550window_pos= 0.000, 0.000size_mm=700,643position=8gauge00=j41!pmdg_j41_rampman, 0,0, 700,643Vangelis

That's exactly what I've got in panel.cfg.

And this in your panel/J41 folder : pmdg_j41_rampman.spbIf yes stumped for now.Vangelis

[Guest KHAOS]

Yep, that's there too.

Casey-Check your FSX key assignments to ensure you have not trapped that key combination for some other function.The only way I've found to trip up the popups right now is to capture the SHIFT+2 key command to something unrelated.

[Guest KHAOS]

I had a feeling that's what I needed to try next. I'll give it a shot when I get home tonight, thanks. :(

[Guest KHAOS]

Looks like the key command is working fine; I've even cleared the assignment out and reassigned it again. It still is not popping up.On the first try, it'll show a black square for a split second, then go to nothing. Pressing SHIFT+1 and SHIFT+3 will bring up the GPS and FMS, respectively, but the ramp manager is still nowhere to be found.

Casey-We're researching... We have a few ideas on what is causing it- but we're trying to find a reproduction case in house so we can test a possible solution on it.In the mean time- I have emailed you some instructions on something I'd like you to try... please get back to me at that email address and let me know the results of what you see...Thanks, Casey!

Also have the same problem. Have tried reassignment but to no avail. What next?

I had this problem as well and determined it was an SP2 corruption problem. Open the FMS in the Shift+3 display and try turning it on. Does it work? If not, I suspect you have a problem with SP2 or Acceleration. Uninstall and reinstall. Search for my thread on "Work around Ramp Manager".Once I reinstalled SP2, it worked easily.

I don't have Acceleration or SP2 installed and I'm not seeing the Ramp Manager either. Press shift + 2 and I see a black box blink and then dissapear. When I'm changing views quickly, I can sometimes see an outline of that box, so it's not visible. I suppose that means that it's not just a SP2/Acceleration problem.

The PMDG J41 REQUIRES SP2 to be installed.
