Hi divinglyc, Just load your saved scenario and move to any airport, parking position and time/date of your liking that works for me. regards Widar

I have contacted MJF about this and they will look at it. I have also tested different startup scenarios and found one that works every time I have tested it . Just start P3D select your airport etc.. select the Q400 version you want to use and load the scenario. Then when it's loaded make the plane Cold and Dark : turn of all power also ground power, external power sw. generator sw. etc.., of with ignition and condition levers to CUT. Save this Scenario and restart P3D On the startup screen load the saved scenario when it's loaded you might see the external power generator wait for it to go away, if it's still there after a few seconds then you have forgot the external power sw. (turn it of save and try again). Now you can do a Cold and Dark startup. Regards Widar PS. I still miss some effects !!!

For me the effects work from time to time so I was thinking why is that? After two days of testing (to be absolutely sure I was right) I found that the Q400 do not always register the engines as running even if they do. Some times the engines register as on (Immersion works) then over and over again after startup the engines register in P3D v4.1 as off or NOT running. You can test this by selecting the "User tips" in P3D Option/Information page, P3D will even after engine startup display the Engine startup tips. If you use GSX you will see that you can start "GATE Services" even if the engines running but form time to time you will get the engines running message. Also you can try to load in the default Piper Cub after you started the engines on your Q400. If after the change the engine on the Piper Cub is running then it's OK engines register as running and the smoke system works. If after the change the engine on the Piper Cub is NOT running then engines register as NOT running and the smoke system will NOT work. This have been tested (3 times) with a clean install of PrePar3D v. 4.1 and with a clean installation of the MJC 8 Q400 (no ChasePlane, or Immersion installed) with the same outcome. So it's a problem with the Q400 in P3D v 4.1 PS ! I have never seen all the Immersion effects.

Hi I get two error messages on startup of PrecipitFX : First I get the message : "an error occur contact —censored email— with this error: -4" and when I click the OK button I get this message : "an error occur contact —censored email— with this error: -3" When I then click OK the login page shows but when I try to login PrecipitFX just returns to the login page. I use windows 7 ultimate 64bit and PrecipitFX have been working on my system before. I have tried to uninstall and did the steps on the FAQ page and removed the folders but still I can not get PrecipitFX to run. Regards Widar
