Thanks to both of you, the airplane works now!
 

Cheers, Pete

Good to know thanks.

Also managed to resolve installing additional liveries via aircraft.cfg. Have to use single digits when adding additional textures, at least up to ten.

PMDG and FSL have really spoiled us 🙂

Keep well and Happy Holidays

I just ran the update, but once in the cockpit nothing turns on. The tablet is inoperable. I went to the forum but no fix is listed. Rather unfortunate.

Cheers, Pete

I had the same issue, uninstall completely and reinstall and you should be good

I've been trying to get some guidance from their discord forum.  But too much activity they keep forgetting.  I installed the beta 717 months ago and all works fine.  Then transferred over my purchase to orbx.  I'd like to uninstall the beta and reinstall the official release.  But I see no place to uninstall anymore since I transferred to orbx.

Have they fixed the ATS bug on final approach with FMS SPD? earlier it always defaulted to Vapp 145 regardless of weight..

You can just uncheck it on the left. 

Maybe a "Check Files" can do it to. The brute force, just delete it, will certainly allow a new install.

In my experience, no.  You still need to pull the speed knob and manually select Vapp.

 

Incorrect vector waypoint behavior is supposedly on their list too, but keeps getting lost in the Discord & forum noise.  Even showed them the issue in person at FS Expo in Vegas.

thanks for the heads up. Despite the bad news, I really wished they'd fix that

Negative. Unfortunately. It already is unchecked. I should have transferred to or orbx after I uninstalled it. I’m stuck in an in between state right now.

Greetings and a question please sir. How did you go about transferring your purchase over to ORBX? Did you have to repurchase through ORBX? Does ORBX download through Central or do you have to download the TFDi addon manager that seems so problematic for me?

i ended up getting everything all set up.  Note that tfdi found that the orbx installer is missing some textures.  So you should either wait to install it from them or install it from orbx and then head over to the tfdi discord and you will see that collin put up the files.  To transfer.

Thanks! Helpful info.

They may say it's compatible but I can't corroborate that 😅 cockpit stays completely dark and shortly after it says that I've run out of VRAM. (Completely fresh install into P3D)

Sad story, the 717 was my favorite plane in V4.5...

Merry Christmas!

Dang.  This product seems like it's SO close to being "truly great" with just a few lingering things holding it back.

Seems that's been the case since it was released. I transferred my account to ORBX yesterday and now can't get it activated when I load the sim. Most problematic add-on of all time.
