SimConnect problem? Cant push/pull/click some buttons

Featured Replies

Hi!

 

Today I purchased the NGX for P3D v3 and installed it. I started my P3D (first with a default airplane and after P3D has finished loading I chose the 737) and waited until the 20 seconds of preparation were over. Than I tried to bring the NGX in the Cold & Dark mode but I can't push any button on the MCDU, on the MCP or several buttons on the overhead panel.

 

I already reinstalled the 737 and all 4 simconnect installers which are located in P3D/redist/Interface.

 

Here you can see what I mean: https://youtu.be/aU3uV4CK57o

 

It still does not work :sad:

 

Thanks for your help!

Here's your problem.

 

Please read the stickeyed threads - there's a reason we wrote them  :wink: :

No I purchased the P3D version of the 737 NGX ... Full name is in the signature.

 

EDIT: The Migration Tool is deactivated ...

While I appreciate that you have the correct version of our aircraft, having the migration tool installed for anything can cause issues with our products because it tries to mess with them (even though you don't tell it to, specifically). Do you have it installed for anything else like FSInn, or other programs meant for FSX (or earlier P3D versions) to be used in P3Dv3?

 

Thanks for adding your name.

Surprisingly not a problem:

 

Find the MigrationTool.cfg in Migration Tool's install folder (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Flightsim Estonia\Migration Tool).

Open it with Notepad, change the line PMDG737=1 to PMDG737=0 (for any PMDG products), save the file and start Prepar3D.

 

(Thanks to Kuraigman for the pointer to this one.)
