Steve,

I think I see the problem... the Spotlights entry is tripping the system up.

Can you please as a test reverse Package 1 with Package 2.

Put Spotlights on the bottom.

Looks to be the cause, tested enabling and disabling and the panel.cfg gets updated:

Yup, definitely spot lights is the problem.

We'll update the Config Manger so it excludes anything containing the word "spotlights" when doing its file search.

 

But we still have Mark's odd problem....

Standard install, I assumed the installer did that.

Please re-download via your account.

Spotlights turned out to be the problem.

We fixed it.

Best,

I'll try but have just downloaded the new installer 25 minutes ago.

UPDATE: I removed both Spotlights and FSL FS2Crew and rebooted. Re-installed a new download of FSLabs FS2Crew and still have the same issue with FSLabs Airbus not found.

The addons.cfg file with the FSLabs Airbus entry isn't in the C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5 location but in the \AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5 location.

Problem solved by re-installing both the FSL Airbus and the latest FS2Crew file.

Hi there,

 

 

i have two problems after returning to my Sim.  

I use P3dV4 only. 

have the Fslabs A320 and A321 and Fs2Crew for them.  I updated the Airbusses and Fs2Crew to the latest Build.  ( V1.5A and Config Manager is V1.101)  

First there is no Fs2Crew-Bar, ( Config manager is green-> enabled) Autofeather usual Stuff checked).  I also found that the new 2d Party PBR liveries are not selectable in P3d. witch points to FsLabs and not to you Brian. 

I see all the help for the P3dV5 guys but not sure what to do with "simple" p3dV4 only problems. besides i´m totally confused by the multitude of double entries.. got simobjects on C-Drive under P3dV4 Add-ons, on F-Drive( my dedicated Sim-Drive) and it feels like 2 or 3 more instances... 

 

basic question.. what are the exact build versions that work for P3dV4?

 

i will throw everything from my Drives and install fresh...

 

all the best

Kai

Hi Kai,

FS2Crew works with all P3D builds.

Please post the contents of your A320 panel.cfg file here.

Cheers,

my issues where solved too.. but i had to install the Fslabs Bus into my 😄 P3d-Addon Folder. that is new. i had it on my flight drive for years and it was recognised by the Fs2crew installer.

well, it works now.. hope that this user-unfriendly structure of my Sim-Files will come to an end soon. I need one drive, one main Folder to rule´m all.. 😉

 

good day

Kai

I couldn't agree more.   Simple is better.
