FSX-MS Razbam Metroliner Released

[~Craig~ 10]

As in the PM, make sure the sound mod's entries for the panel.cfg are contained in a single line, like this:

 

gauge08=DSD_FSX_XML_Sound!Sound,0,0,0,0, .\Gauges\RM3_Cockpit_Sounds\RM3_CockpitSounds_BK.ini

 

 

Thanks Bjoern - that was indeed the issue.    Great work sir.

No time to fly the last few days but I will do as you suggest tonight and report back. I checked the forum at Razbam and others have reported the same issues so we may be about to help a bunch of simmers enjoy their Metro even more.

 

Jim , very interesting that you made the problem occur by moving out the dll.xml file, that may be my issue as well.

 

Thanks for your efforts on my behalf. I am visualizing a complete panel with beautiful annunciater lights and working gauges and lighting. 

 

good flights, Cal

Can you post your dll.xml please so we can look at it? Maybe there's something else wrong with it? If you could do the Run box command again from my post above, then with the dll.xml open in Notepad do CTRL+A, CTRL+C, and then paste it into a reply here with CTRL+V. We can look it over and see if there's some other reason it's become corrupt.

 

I just moved my dll.xml out to the desktop and loaded the Metro and it exhibits exactly the behavior you describe, no caution lights, no fuel gauges, no exterior lights, etc.

 

Jim

No flying time lately. I will post again asap. Thanks again, Cal

Hello forum friends,

Here is my dll.xml as Jim requested. Maybe someone will spot the cause for my problem with the Metroliner's lights, fuel gauges and electrical readouts. Thanks for your efforts.           Cal

Cut the last </SimBase.Document> just before <Name>FSUIPC 4</Name> out and move it to the end so it's the very last line in the file

Your ObjectFlow and accusim will work now as well :smile:

@Bjoern hi! my radar its not working ........ i do everything that its in the manual.. but always its black no matter if i move de buttons of on/off...

my radar its not working ........ i do everything that its in the manual.. but always its black no matter if i move de buttons of on/off...

 

Do the "panel" folders contain the "Metro_Mods" folder?

 

Do the "gauge=" lines in the [Vcockpit03] section in each panel.cfg look like this?

 

 

//gauge00 = Metro_IIIC!M3_WX_RDR_BDX_82,     20, 120, 1000, 768
gauge00 = Metro_Mods!wx_radar,     20, 120, 1000, 768

[ramjet 0]

Thank you Jim,

 

I thought that the simbase doc needed to be the last line in the Metro section and when that didn't work I actually looked at that FSUICP and wondered if  might be in the wrong place since I added a fresh install of that last.

 

WOW, that would be really great if such a simple change can solve my problem. I wasn't even aware I was missing accusim or object flow so now I'm even more jazzed.  I've had several good flights and landings with the Metro but gauges, lights, and moving needles will make it even more fun to control and fly.Thank you,  I'll happily report back on my success.

 

good flights, Cal

Yes! on the two folder of the panels contain "Metro_Mods" and the panel.cfg contain the sentence "gauge00"

[ramjet 0]

Bad news I'm afraid. Nothing changed after making the corrections to my dll file. It flies but the panel is dark and no interior or exterior lighting, and only some of the gauges work. Cool plane but I'd rather fly one with all systems working.

 

good flights, Cal

[Jim Robinson 122]

You must have messed something up then. There should be a "dll_RM3_backup.xml" in the same folder as your dll.xml and fsx.cfg, delete the dll.xml and rename "dll_RM3_backup.xml" "dll.xml" and you'll be back where you were before you installed the Metroliner. At least your ObjectFlow and accusim should work.

 

Jim

 

EDIT: If you want you can try this:

 

Press Windows key + R and paste this into the run box:

 

%appdata%\Microsoft\FSX

 

That should open the folder where dll.xml is located, then download this .zip file, open it, and drag the dll.xml from the .zip file into the %appdata%\Microsoft\FSX folder allowing it to overwrite the one that's in there. Do this before you rename "dll_RM3_backup.xml".

What could cause a symptom like this? Bad installer? Anti-virus interfrence?

[Jim Robinson 122]

They probably used a 3rd party tool of some sort bundled into the installer to insert the dll.xml entry, it seems to be having some problems getting the dll/xml entry right. So yeah, bad installer I guess.

 

ramjet, I just noticed that all your ObjectFlow entries point to E:\Program Files\ORBX rather than E:\Program Files\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\ORBX, are you using a junction link to install your Orbx stuff somewhere besides the Microsoft Flight Simulator X folder? Where exactly is your FSX installed then? Do you have a Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Addon Modules folder and is there a MM3SM.dll inside that folder? At this point do you have an Add-ons menu item in FSX and is FSUIPC available from that menu? Also, if you go to CZST do you see the ground poly and buildings and do they change seasons when you switch to winter (indicating that ObjectFlow is working)?

[Bjoern 1,153]

Yes! on the two folder of the panels contain "Metro_Mods" and the panel.cfg contain the sentence "gauge00"

 

Just noticed that the gauge is broken for some reason and fixed it.

[Bjoern 1,153]

A new revision of my mods is online. My weather radar got fixed and should work now, so if you don't use it, you won't have to upgrade.

Upgrade:

Overwrite wx_radar.xml in the "Metro_Mods" folder in each "panel" folder with the one from the download. That's it.
