Q400 Bouncing at Startup

Well as I don't have P3d on my PC and never have I guess Anti Piracy as a solution is nonsense also.

I have explained it as simply as I could. If you install your dash as directed and put in the code your were given it will work just fine. You can validate the install by looking at the HSI when on the ground. It should be level. If you try to COPY the dash from another drive or another computer it looks good but will not function correctly. It will bounce and cartwheel all over the place. It is unflyableable. All the business about changing points in the cig. Changing tesselation and other posts and magic solutions are as I said nonsense. Yes if you delete it and reinstall it correctly it will work.....if you do not already have a copy. It is obvious that some people are trying to circumvent the valid install, and then find it will not work. In my case I got a new SSD. Then tried to copy the dash folder over to a new drive. It looked good but did not work. It finally dawned on me it was a piracy protection issue. I am a valid customer, and so I installed it correctly and no further issue. Yes ther are five pages here of various fixes. All are incorrect and will not help. It is an anti piracy issue. That is the big secret. The same type of issue happens with some other products. Flight1 products are an example. If you copy over one of the product folders between computers it will show up just fine. Only there is only a black panel or no gauges. If you instal it correctly no problem. Try to get it for free and it will not work. I hope that is a reasonable explanation for you!

 As I have a legitimate copy and it worked fine from day one and then without swapping drives or doing any of the other stuff you mention mine started bouncing around. The solution...for me was a reinstall. For others who had a bouncing issue other fixes worked for them. On Majestic's own website they suggest disabling automatic backups in FSUIPC as a fix so I guess in your worls that's nonsense as well.

Maybe if you didn't have such a condescending attitude towards others suggestions and help you may have received a better response on here. I for one won't be rushing to help out in future, I think others may have already reached the same conclusion.

This nothing more than anti piracy issue. Also I mistakenly thought I could have both the FSX and the P3d installed. I was mistaken. It works well in each sim but not both. Choose which one you like. If you sent a support ticket to Magestic they will straighten it right out for you. I hope I am not sharing information they want kept quite. Start the sim load the dash. When it starts to act up, use slew to stop it from bouncing, then use F1 to get it back on the ground. Go inside to the panel view. Observe the HSI. If it is off center, angled or upside down this means the product was not installed correctly, with the right permission. If the HSI is correct and level you have a valid install.
PS, I have my FSX and P3d on two different drives. Perhaps it will work in both sims if they are on the same drive. Seems to me I had it that way at one time. As one person says it will, I don't know. I had it FSX yesterday. Deleted that, and installed it into P3d along with the FScrew2 add on. It works just fine and I have used it in both sims. Not just at the same time.

 

This fixed it for me.  I have both FSX and P3D and just reinstalled over the top of the FSX version and it stopped bouncing.  Thank god.
