"a copilot is not required for this type of aircraft !?"

[ggerolamo 108]

Hi to all,

I just wanted to fly my new 'MILVIZ OTTER' with  MCE (only the ATC-option) but MCE is always restarting with the sentence:

"...you don't need my assistance ... a copilot is not required for this type of aircraft !?"

This seems to be an endless loop !?

Using MCE 2.7.48 (p3dv4.1)...

You may have messed-up your MCE config file by accident.

Suggest you reset to factory settings.

Start->All Apps->Multi Crew Experience->Restore factory settings.

When prompted to go through the app wizard, you can skip over the speech training part.

Thanks for the reply !

Meanwhile, I know the reason of the problem :

in the 'Aircraft.cfg' file I changed a corresponding entry in the [General] section :

old entry:

[General]
Category=airplane

new entry:

Category=airplane
atc_type=Otter
atc_model=DHC-3 Otter Milviz

------------------------------------------

I need this entry for another Software (FSCaptain) and

obviously this change of entry is the reason for my problem with MCE !?

Do you see any solution to this problem ?

Entries that matter in "Aircraft.cfg"

[fltsim.X]

Title=the_livery_currently_loaded_in_the_sim_must_be_listed_in_one_of_fltsim.X_sections

sim=whatever_original_sim_name

The other possibility, aircraft installs outside the usual <SimObject> folder.

Suggest you install latest MCE

Among other things, newer version checks not only "Add-ons.cfg" in C:\PrrogramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\ folder for aircraft installed outside default, it also looks in "Add-ons.cfg" in C:\Users\youir_user_name\AppData\...

MCE is guaranteed to load with ANY aircraft.

This aircraft not being on the fully supported list, I guess Fo will handle gear, flaps, radios tuning and maybe a few other things.

Aerosoft Otter is fully supported.

Mid you, this aircraft could be flown solo

 Unfortunately, this is not the case with the MILVIZ OTTER !

[General]
Category=airplane

atc_model=DHC-3 Otter Milviz

-------------->> MCE is not working !

 

[General]
Category=airplane

----------->> MCE is working !

OK, I sorted it out  !! :-)

Obviously MCE has a problem with  long atc_model names (or the 'space' between) !?

atc_model=DHC-3 Otter Milviz ---> is not  working

atc_model=DHC-3                    ----> is working !

...there are always new discoveries ;-)
