Potential bug with QW787

[DUde101 0]

Hello, I recently loaded the QW787 for the first time in a long time, and I have noticed that the instrument panel that displays engine data seems to have no font/text on it. For example, there are no numbers on the display. I know this might sound really stupid, so I apologize. There might be a mistake I;m making because I haven't flown the 787 in a long time. I cannot upload an image, because I do not have any image URLs, and AVSIM rejects every url I paste. I will describe it as best I can. So basically, there are no numbers on the engine display, the engines are off at the moment, and they should say 0.0, just there is nothing. No gear down, and all of the fuel indicators are completely blank, there are no numbers at all. If anyone doesn't understand what I'm saying, just ask and i'll clarify. 

 

 

Thanks

what sim are you using v4.5 or v5?

[DUde101 0]

v4.5

Do you mean this? I just took this for you, V4.5 HF2

Yes! I wish I was able to post an image, it would make this so much easier. The problem is that there are no numbers whatsoever on the display, like DOWN, engine settings, and fuel load, they are completely blank. The section where the fuel indicator is, it is black.

It might just be that I have an old version of the QW787, since I haven't flown it in a long time, I might just need to update it.

Hello again, I am trying to install v1.3.0 but the installer keeps crashing when it reaches 10%, is there anything you recommend?

You might have to turn off your AV, both when downloading and installing it...the Flight1 wrapper uses Themida encryption, and some AV software will interfere because it can't see what's inside the encrypted container.

Otherwise, it's probably time to contact QualityWings for some user support.

@Dude101, I had exactly the same issue: no fonts on any display. A complete wipe of the installation and then running the installer as Administrator solved the problem.

As to your second question: the installer can be stuck for a pretty long period. According to the QW forums you should wait and things eventually should work out just fine. 

Good luck!

UPDATE:

 

I installed v1.3 and the font issue was fixed, everything is working fine as of now, thanks a lot for your help everyone!
