The X is Red - Again

Featured Replies

Hello Simmers!

 

 

 

Now I know this post has been put out before, but any and all fixes suggested have not worked before. Here is my issue - on my PFD's and PFD's only on the NGX in all liveries I have tested, there is a red X. Below this red X, which comes together just above the virtual horizon, there is a box with the letters "RA" in it. On the right, the VSI needle is replaced with a solid red line. I have tried playing with TCAS, putting it onto test mode, turning it on and off the various settings, to no avail. I have tried a full reinstall several times, and have re installed with deleting the aircraft folder prior to. I do not have XGauge or FSAcars and have deleted any add-on panel software. The panel.cfg is completely normal. Any suggestions?

Hi abasa,

 

not sure if this will help.

 

But have you tried starting up NGX in "Cold & Dark"?

 

I would do this 1st (if you haven't already).

 

It sounds to me like a TCAS test problem that may exist with your panel start up.

 

Make sure you're not using a saved panel for start up. Just a default PMDG.

 

Carry out a cold and dark, and follow normail procedures to get the cockpit up and running and see what happens then.

 

let me know.

 

Rgds,

I did not try cold and dark but I did try the "default" panel state.

Hello guys,

 

After (again) new windows installation and using anti virus this time for system defense, i think i manage to make it work and yes, its fully functional at this time. I've try several test with & without other addons, and yes its still running great. I guess the problem solved and i think it was because some virus/ malware which is effected on random file include the NGX module, maybe :)

 

Thanks a lot for PMDG support team!

Did you ever find what the faulty add-on was, or was it, as you said, a virus problem?

Hi, sorry for my late reply.

 

Yes, it was cause by some virus & i was using a corrupt FSX installation, so use anti virus and make sure the FSX installer is in a good shape will fix it. I dont have any similar problem until now.

No, no - your reply was quite quick - thank you so much! Did you just reinstall FSX or everything?

Basicly yes, reinstall FSX.

 

Or if you still have a same problem, contact PMDG support team, they are very helpful.

Hello Again,

 

 

Sorry to dig up this old topic. I haven't re-installed Windows yet, but I've tried re-installing multiple times, using the activation program multiple times, removed all files/folders and installed, and lastly I've moved everything and ran CCleaner before placing the  files back and running the activation again - to no avail. There has to be something here that I'm missing...

I also deleted all traces of almost all other PMDG addons I was in possession of, and that I could find, before re-running the install. As a sidenote, I also am not getting the activation window upon startup, though I've been using an external registration application from PMDG>

Hi Derek,

Have you submitted a support ticket with PMDG?  That's likely the quickest route to a fix for your issues.

Cheers.  :smile:

I had submitted one, and I just re-opened it with some more info. I just wanted to see if there were any other people's opinions in the meantime.

Random Thought: If you have a copy of your dll.xml before the problem persisted, try replacing it with that.
