MSFS Avionics display after update

[himmelhorse 1,276]

Hello all,

Has anyone noticed that there is no Avionics display for the Baron58 or the DA62 after the latest update.

I fired it up this morning for a flight using the Longtitude and all OK. This afternoon I fired up for a flight in the Baron58 and noticed no avionics displayed starting on the runway. I then tried the DA62 and same thing. Subsequently I went back for a flight with the Longtitude and that was OK but the other two (only ones I tried) are still black panels,

Everything else is working normally except for the VFR Map using the task bar.  I found a workround for that by simply mapping "M" for the VFR map and it works normally now using that key. I hope that users of the VFR Map find this useful, The task bar is still CTD on each application.

I am just wondering if it is my set up or if it is common as at this time I appear to be unable to fix it.  All worked well before the update.

Regards

Tony

I just checked a bunch at a variety of airports and no issues here.  Do you have any mods at all?  Any changes to the avionics that you manually made in a configuration file?  Otherwise I wonder if something is corrupted in your patch.

Same here ... no issues, I mean.

That's, like...   all the planes with the G1000, and nothing but, I believe.    Do you have the G1000 mod installed?   If so, you may need to update it to 0.3; older versions are not compatible with this update of the sim.

Yeah I was thinking that as well...

No, they create conflicts with the old mods..

Cessna 172 G1000

 

I completed a quite enjoyable 2.4 hour flight yesterday in the 172 (G1000) without any issues whatsoever.  And I am fully updated.  In case it is in play here let me say that I fly with a Honeycomb Alpha Yoke and currently in MFS I have all of the switches on the yoke housing unmapped.  Alt, Bat, both Avionics switches, and all (5) of the light switches.  Just using my mouse to control those switches.  All of my switches on the yoke pods are mapped.

The workaround you indicate for the VFR map does not work for me. Since the beginning I use a key to show/hide the map (I never use the toolbar) and each time I press this key, I have a CTD. OK, I use Ctrl-M and not M (magnetos) but does it make any difference?

[marsman2020 1,310]

The work around for the VFR map is to open it at the start of the flight and never close it again, per the MSFS forum official Known Items list.

I believe there is an option in Settings to have it open automatically at the start of the flight.

Rocky, I am sorry to hear that it does not work for you.  I had that key mapped long before this became an issue and was using it without issue from the start.  I think a key mapping is what it is and unless you have other things mapped to the same key, I do not believe it should make a difference.  

Marsman2020 has pointed out a temporary fix ... I was not aware of that either, but I hope it works for you and/or others.

For the rest of the responders, I thank you all sincerely for your input. Kaosfere, I think may be on the right track with the G1000 mod which I have not updated as yet.  I will try that a little later ... it is 1.30am here and probably time to go to bed (again LOL) and I will report back after I update.

Thanks again guys, this has been very helpful.

OK.  I applied the workingtitle-g1000 (v0.3.0) and the G1000 is no longer working in the three aircraft I tried.  Removed the mod and the G1000 is back working again.  When copying it over into the Community folder I received this error.  Only two options available.  I chose Skip during the process.  What is the solution to this issue?  The full path to my community folder is:

D:\WpSystem\S-1-5-21-4064563360-2683254180-3332666863-1001\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community

I am sure someone smarter will have a better answer then me but I would go up a level and copy both the community and official directory and place them in a new top level folder like D:\MSFS2020 and then uninstall and reinstall the sim to that folder (when you do the bit after the launcher is installed make sure you designate the new folder as your destination) with any luck maybe it won't need to download the whole sim again.

Otherwise I believe there is a registry edit you can do to allow longer file names.

I think you might be copying the base folder of the master patch to your community folder. It has several sub-folders inside it. You just need to click through the folder to the actual mod folder that has the individual files inside, not and other folder. Place that folder in Community and delete the rest. The folder that sits in Community will have a json file etc in it.

It is odd that MS/Asobo chose such convoluted folder directory structures that risk bumping up against the limits of Windows. The easy workaround it to choose your own directory when initially installing and not go with the default option with its illogical number string folder naming conventions.
