Hi GuysI know I have missed something simple here so would appreciate a quick pointer in the right direction, have been away from the J41 for a while but been tempted back by the FS2 crew voice software so wanted to rerun the tutorial to get comfortable with procedures but am struggling to get an alignment [i think] on the gyros - ie no data appears on the EADI or EHSI although they are powered.Sorry guys - but this is driving me crazy.Roger McNeillEGPF

The avionics need power from the GPU or the engines to operate. Try setting one of the ADCs to Test Mode and see if it's counting down the time to alignment.It should take around 180 for the gyros to align if I remember correctly.

Thanks for the reply - GPU is def on, but where do i find the ADC test mode switch.Roger

Hey Roger.Open the test switch panel to the right side of the F/O seat and select either ADC 1 or 2. This will transform the EHSI to resemble an egg-timer sort of clock.This is also described in the Flight Tutorial p. 19. If you are sure you selected GPU ON on the overhead and your ammeter shows 28.0V I am not sure what else could be the problem.Are you using any external program that could interfere with the J41 system logic?

Yeah thats what I thought and tried - dunno what is going on, certainly used to work okay.Maybe try re-installing the JS41 dunno what else I could try.Thanks again Roger

Try submitting a ticket first and get help from PMDG staff. I find re-installing add-ons to be a pain in the backside.Cheers!

Hi Roger, be sure to run Your J41 with default trike first (I bet that's what You'll hear from PMDG), or by doubleclicking the saved flight file. Reinstalling software takes only few seconds so You can try it too.
