Great work, but the pfd and mfd displays are still close to unreadable. Hope you guys can fix this eventually.

Can you post a screenshot of the area you're referring to? We greatly increased the size and contrast of almost all the PFD elements and most of the MFD elements except for the systems display, so I just want to understand what parts still seem hard to read.

Yes, @kaosfere s mod... when in community the PFD and MFD will not dim, only the glow cast from them changes.

The G3X is in alpha state, so some conflicts could be expected, but having it mess with another Working Title mod is definitely not ideal.    I'll check it out and see if I can figure out what's going on, but can you confirm which version of the G3X you have?  The latest is alpha7 and is available at the Bush League Legends website.  

(That mod is almost to the point where I'm ready to make it an official WT joint with full releases and release announcements, which should help track updates, and at which point compatibility with other up-to-date WT mods should be the expectation.)

Welp, 0.4.1 lived about 15 hours 😉

Remember to pull all your mods out of your community folder until they're each updated for the patch!  We'll be working on this today.

Alpha 7 is what I have. We will see what the deal is with the patch anyways. Love the G3X mod. What I was seeing was the screens on the CJ4 were dim, and only the ambient light from them was changing, not the screen itself. I removed and added many of the mods I was running and isolated it to that one.

ah, ok, I haven't flown it since the last mod(s). Will check again after you guys release a post-latest-patch version. So ignore and disregard at the moment.

We haven't changed them since the last round, I think 0.3.1; those were the improvements I was referring to.

So far, it looks like we will not need a new version for MSFS 1.9.5. Everything appears to be working just fine.

Mh, i feel sorry, but that’s not true for me. I don’t have any flight display or FMC. With the previous version there is FMC alive and I can read the temperatures e.g. at the bottom of the flight display, but with 0.4.1 everything is black. I have the latest A320 mod installed, but it doesn’t matter if this mod is active or not. No display in the CJ4 😔

Odd, so far everyone on our discord is working fine. I've taken one flight since the patch just to test and haven't encountered this. There are conflicts with a few other mods, though, that modify shared files (nothing we can fix), so my advice would be to pull all your mods from community and test just the latest version of the CJ4. The A320NX is a mod that employs some changes to shared files that impact other aircraft. They are aware of this and have an open issue for it.

Thx for your reply.

Yes, I know, that the A320 mod interferes with others, so I disabled it as said without positive result. But as I write, I remember that I have another small mod installed to get rid of the tooltips, beside of that there are only some liveries installed. But perhaps...I will follow your advice and will delete really everything in community folder and test the CJ4 mod alone. But first I have to finish my actual test flight. Seems to me Asobo changes the way of handling the refresh rate of the glass cockpit, have significant increase in GTDraws now...will report back. Thanks for your quick reply!

Yea, we saw that too. 😞

There's a change been made to the BaseInstrument.js file which is the probable cause of this. They've removed an if statement which means the this.Update() always gets called.

 

In createMainLoop()

from:

                    this.beforeUpdate();
                    if (this.CanUpdate())
                        this.Update();
                    this.afterUpdate();

 

to:

                    this.beforeUpdate();
                    this.Update();
                    this.afterUpdate();

 

Seems a retrograde step as I believe this was put in during a previous patch to improve glass cockpits....

Ok, it’s neither the A320 mod nor the tooltip mod....now your mod is working great, thank you 🙂 Must be one of the liveries...interesting. But as work needs attention tomorrow, I have to stop testing and will go to sleep now. 
Thank you for the support and the great work done so far!

Matthias

Just had my first flight in the cj4 mod after patch and it's working great (not other mods installed yet).  The autopilot does a much better job above 30k now.

I did notice the PPH on sys dispaly is showing zero when the "sys" button is pushed, but shows real values on the upper menu sys display.
