PMDG 737NGX AND PREPAR3D V3 ERROR

Hi, PMDG Team!

 

First, I wish to thank you how quickly put at our disposal the installer for your products for the new Prepar3D v3.

 

Now, the problem (if this is a problem):

After a clean install and after uninstalled P3D v2.5, I must say that apparently everything works fine, except that closing the simulator warns me that there were errors that can be found in the "C: \ Users \ Gerard \ Documents \ Prepar3D v3 Files \ ContentErrorLog.txt "

I put here a small sample of the errors that contains the file:

.............. and so on.

 

Can you tell me, please, if I have done somthing wrong or it's an installation problem, and if you can, explain me how to solve this?

 

Thanks in advance, and congratulations for the great work.

 

Your sincerely,

Gerard-

 

I haven't a clue what it is trying to tell you, aside from the obvious.

 

Can you give me a run down on anything else that you have installed that might interact with the panel.cfg files or aircraft.cfg files for our products?  Any third party apps such as FS2Crew or an ipad app, etc?

 

It is worth pointing out that none of the product files were changed for this update- so we are probably looking for something unusual here...

Hi Rob

 

I'm having this issue too. All I have installed is P3Dv3 and the NGX and T7 packages. It doesn't appear to be all aircraft just a few. Below is the error log I got...

Hi Robert,

 

Thanks for your quick answer,

 

I only installed P3D v3 and then your 737NGX and 777X

 

The whole file content is this:

I've opened the File: E:\Prepar3D v3\SimObjects\Airplanes\PMDG 737-900NGX WL\aircraft.cfg and it has two [sMOKESYSTEM] sections:

 

This is the partial content of the file that show this:

 

...............................

light.1 = 4, 50.000, 0.0, 4.500, fx_PMDG_NGX_vclight

[sMOKESYSTEM]

[sMOKESYSTEM]

[keyboard_response]      
//Breakpoint speeds (knots) on the keyboard increments of control surfaces.
//Speed at which the incremenet is reduced to  1/2 and 1/8 respectively.
elevator = 150, 250   
aileron  = 150, 250
rudder   = 150, 250
..............................................etc.

 

Hope it helps to get a clue...

Hi again,

 

My last post was after a short trial flight with the default F-22 Raptor, but after a trial flight with the 777X, the content of the file is different (I have installed 777 Inmersion too, in order to see if it solves the problem)

Same here with 737.

 

Just installed 777 and was asked to update RAAS.

FWIW: I get the same error message and ContentErrorLog. Only 737 and 777 on a vanilla install of P3D v3.

 

And kudos to the team for providing an installer so quickly! Amazing work.

Same error also for me. Clean P3D install, no addon scenery, only 737 base package. Downloded the new installer. I'm not even able to register the product since the dialog doesn't appear at aircraft startup.

Never mind, activation successful (was a SimConnect issue). However duplicate stil persist.

Gents-

 

We have reviewed this and the conclusion is as follows:  You can ignore it.

 

There is one error here that we will correct in a future update (the duplicate SMOKE SYSTEM entry in the 900WL aircraft.cfg file).  It is harmless and does not consume any resources.

 

The remainder of the errors logged are the result of Lockheed Martin setting a logging parameter that picks up on a technique that we use to instance gauge processes that take place in multiple places around the cockpit.  (Lighting, etc.)

 

I'm not sure why they flag it as an error- it isn't.

 

As we recommended with FSX- if you aren't a developer we recommend turning that logging off.  It creates more false instances than it does useful information.
