i just installed the latest update and the 314A addon for v5 and when i try to load the loadsheet up this is all it does https://prnt.sc/NzSb4drTV7ij idk what i'm doing wrong?

Uninstall both, download and reinstall both packages. We got a corrupted upload on the B-314 and thought we'd caught it before anyone downloaded it, but you must have hit download between us finding it and replacing the package. It did take a while. I'm suggesting to do both just to be on the safe side.

i downloaded it about an hour and half ago when did you guys catch the corrupted file?

I can confirm the issue. New downloads of 1.5 and A. Same blank loadsheet.

Ian

also is anyone else having issues starting the left side engines i can get the right side engines to start but the left side engines just turn but not start?

Loadsheet - do you have the dotNet framework 4.8 installed? We caught the bad upload within about ninety minutes of it being there.

Engines - are you using the correct hand pump? Under the FE table there's a pair of fuel pumps on the right. Portside engines are on the left one of the pair - watch for the tooltips. If you are using the Modern Startup Cheat Sheet then I owe you an apology because we never used it and it's my fault I didn't update it in light of all the new information I got in the last year. The 'PILOT'S Boeing B-314 Manual Part 2 v1.5 - The Simulator.pdf' file has the correct information in it.

@dragonflightdesign *if missing*, dotNet FW 4.8 latest installer is installed by the setup. That runs mandatory and should be installed in any case.

The only other explanation is that SimConnect is not working, because that's how the aircraft data is retrieved. However, that is unlikely because SimConnect is also invoked on aircraft load to bring the systems online.

Another thing to try: shut down P3D, then go to the \PILOTS B314 Triple Tail\panel folder and double-click on b314_wandb.exe. The loadsheet should come up and you should almost immediately get an error message from SimConnect stating 'No response from Prepar3D'. Now start P3D and try manually loading the loadsheet again and see what happens.

oh then yeah I'm doing it wrong I haven't read through the entire manual yet so I must have missed that part I'm still trying to start it like v1.20 well that's good to know that there are two pumps now thank

also I got the load sheet to work I redownload the add-ons and reinstall it and it all worked so I think I might have gotten to corrupt one first time around

I've just uploaded an updated Cheat Sheet - see the sticky post above.

okay thanks you all for your help and your hard work to bring this beautiful plane back to life 

Hello Dai

Sorry forgot to say hello in my eagerness to get the new update installed. Re load sheet, I did as you suggested and this time the load sheet appears correctly. I assume you have to use the P3D Fuel and Payload tab to actually put in the figures?

Hello Ian!

Well, that's odd but I'm not complaining! No, read p.60 of the PILOT'S Boeing B-314 Manual Part 2 v1.5 - The Simulator.pdf. I was warned by one of the beta testers to make this more prominent and he was right...

-Dai

Thanks Dai

I did read this but obviously missed it. By the time I got to P60 I was a little jaded. Just a suggestion, as weight and balance is just about the first thing to do when setting up a flight shoud this section be fairly high in the manual before all the flight desk stuff? Just a thought.

Great work btw. I've not flown it yet, just looking around the new models.

Regards

Ian

Thank you for the feedback. I can promise you it's a lot easier to fly than previously.
