I had the same trouble, thanks for posting this. Mine is the steam addition, and i had to change it to: gauge00=CDX_Lightbar_se!CDXLightBar,0,865,1024,159 in the FSX Aircraft Folder, change the line in the file Panel.cfg (located in the alabeo pa-35_pawnee/panel.cdx folder) Thanks again to everyone involved, this whole setup is really brilliant.

Well I'm a little late in noticing this, but WOW what a great addition! I've been playing with CropDusterX for a couple of years now, and just Love it, bought the Alabeo Pawnee Brave specifically for it, and find the combination just awesome. Really the only thing that was lacking was the SatLoc in the virtual cockpit. Even though I could suspend my disbelief easy enough, this really makes the whole package basically perfect. I find Lorby's execution of the Satloc GPS lightbar to be utterly realistic (I'm a farmer, and ground apply with a light bar all the time). While I'm not a pilot, I have to say the Brave's flight characteristics feel Really good (imho the best feeling of flight of any FSX aircraft I have flown). Trying to keep a fully loaded (4800# restricted category) Pawnee Brave in the air is a tough challenge, and then try making 50' A-B lines on quarter mile runs with trees at each end... It is just fantastic. Thank you so much for this wonderful addition, this is really just so exciting for an old fake pilot like myself. Thanks to Lorby and Alabeo as well for their wonderful products.

Yes! That did it. All fixed up and working great. Flew my first SatLoc only field tonight (no shading). I find it all extremely realistic. Mapping out my own fields (of which I know acreage) and then spraying them, I believe GPM, total gallons on board, and acres are all coming out quite well (obviously critical in real life spraying operations).

No luck yet. I was able to comment out the Chemical indicator gauge in the panel.cfg (I // out the whole thing on the second try with no change). I don't know any other places to remove it from, or how it works exactly. Is there something in aircraft.cfg (I couldn't find it)? I was able to confirm it is a problem with the PA-36 (it is a fresh install, no changes made), as another aircraft (with an CDX PayLoad Manager added station) did drop weight as it should. I did wrangle with Alabeo when I first purchased this, and they never were able to help get the weight working correctly then. I also tried adding a station to the PA-36 with CDX PayLoad Manager, and while it seemed to work correctly, still no weight reduction in the FSX Fual-And-Payload (flight model in-game still feels heavy as well). I expect this is something simple that I am missing, but I can't for the life of me figure it out. This is a Fresh Install of FSX (due to harddrive crash before Christmas), with fresh PA-36.zip install, should be nothing outlandish effecting anything. Edit to add: I take that back. I have another little 'simple' side program installed called FSX WildLife+ installed. While it doesn't do anything with weights (that I know of), I DID have to install something from my own steam directory called microsoft.flightsimulator.simconnect.dll (I believe the one in FSX_RTM directory). Perhaps this is messing up the PA-36? The three simconnect legacy options are -RTM, -SP1, and -XPACK (presumeably service pack 1 and accerleration pack). My bandwidth is extremely limited, so I won't be able to reinstall FSX. Thanks Again for any pointers. The program is really entertaining. I have mapped out a number of fields from my own farm, and am really enjoying spraying them.

I purchased and downloaded Crop Duster X, got it installed and seems to be working good on my FSX Steam Addition (really enjoying it, in fact). However, I don't believe the spray weight in FSX (gross weight) is being reduced as I spray a field. Going by the FSX Payload-And-Fuel screen, I'm still showing as fully loaded (-minus a few pounds, presumeably fuel). The on screen (CDX) message says I have sprayed then entire field (or whatever I was able to get during that flight) and 0% insecticide left, as does the external CDX program. So I don't think CDX and FSX are communicating on this part. Perhaps it has something to do with the Alabeo PA-36 I am flying? I was never able to get it to 'spray out' either. CDX itself seems to be working great and is a Lot of fun. But would sure like to 'feel' the weight come off while spraying, if possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
