Missing Air Conditioning Units for 777 and 737 NGX

[sbclark 55]

During the course of updating the Operations Center and updating the 777 to SP1 and SP1b, the external air conditioning cart no longer appears on either the 737 NGX nor the 777. This issue appears on all versions of the A/C.

 

Any idea how to fix?

For the NGX item 3 in the first post of this thread: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/446633-things-you-should-do-before-installing-777-sp1-read-this/page-1 might be your problem.

Thanks pcubine,

 

Yes, I did follow the guidelines, including step 3, listed in the link you posted.

 

I deleted all my Delta, United, and other airline skins.

 

However, I DID NOT delete the PMDG logo skins. I interpreted the instructions to just do the actual airline skins, not the PMDG skins!

 

So, if I was supposed to delete everything, but I didn't, how do I recover?

You are okay on the PMDG house liveries. Only the PMDG airline liveries needed to be uninstalled but they needed to be saved first. See post 35 in the above thread. Also see post 7 in this thread http://forum.avsim.net/topic/448775-08aug14-sp1b-for-pmdg-777-200lrf-and-300er-released/page-1.

 

Does everything look okay in the CDU>FSX ACTIONS>GROUND CONNECTIONS for both the NGX and T7.

pcubine,

 

I did uninstall the PMDG airline liveries, but I may not have saved them first!

 

The items in FS Configuration section of the CDU look ok, and they seem to work as I toggle them on/off. However, the air condition cart does not appear outside the aircraft for any of the liveries I have for either the 777 and 737. I also can't tell if the AC is working even if the cart is missing and the CDU says it is connected?

 

Given I may have screwed up, the question is, how do I recover the missing AC cart?

Hi All,

 

Problem solved, I'm a DUMMY.

 

As it turns out, when the engines are running, carts that are normally placed close to the engines WILL NOT APPEAR if engines are running.

 

I discovered this this afternoon when I set up a 737-800 flight, shut down the engines, and lo and behold, the Air Conditioning cart appeared.

 

So all my 777 and 737 A/C liveries should be ok........I checked one 777 livery to verify that set appeared, and it did after engine shut down.

 

Sorry I wasted your time.

Sorry I wasted your time.

That is no problem. I am glad you found a solution. So the panel states, liveries and a/c cart are okay now. That's great.
