737-800 Upgrade Cockpit Question

[Flying Mouse]

Lovely update, blowing some life into a plane I never fly

[alrot]

Ok I hope you made a backup for the B737-800
please go to the saved file and copy the Aircraft.cfg ,Replace the new one with the original (Made a copy don't move it from where did you save the file) we will replace with just  a copy

then we will proceed with another test and to activate the cabin light we will do something else

I need you to test using the original Aircraft.cfg

[Flying Mouse]

I did some tests:

1) I first had a look at the [Exits] entries in your AC.cfg and that of the original. Yours reflect 2 and original 3. Values are the same it seems.

2) I then copied just the [Exits] entries from the original AC.cfg into your AC.cfg. That did not work.

3) I reverted the change and copied the whole original AC.cfg back into the 737-800 folder. That too did not work.

4) I then copied the whole backed-up 737-800 folder into the FSX/Aircraft folder and back is my doors.

Somewhere in the whole setup the upgrade does not allow the pilot to open 2nd pax door, cargo doors & catering doors.

Hope we can find it. Love the upgrade

I'm sure that has to be with the[exits] part,I forgot that I play with that area for the making of the MD83
,I shouldn't never replace the aircraft.cfg ,I'm reisntaling my whole FSX to see the original file I'l get back here ,and mybe I will reupload the whole VC with all the fixes for once

OMG!! Its Le_Daube's Gauge

[Daube]

Interesting... very interesting...I'll take a look to this right now, I'll provide feedback as soon as possible !

[alrot]

Before procedure to fix the problem we would like to thanks very much to Flying Mouse  ,otherwise we Wouldn't never notice this thank you very much  for letting us know 

[Daube]

Indeed ! Thanks Flying_Mouse for this excellent feedback. I didn't test this feature because I had no idea a gauge could influence it  :-/

So basically, the problem with my gauge is that it's "dumb". It continues setting the avionics to ON or OFF continuously, no matter if the avionics are already ON or OFF. These useless events are preventing the exits to work correctly.

I made some modifications and I managed to fix the problem. Now I get avionics ON when I set any generator ON, and the exit works as well. However, now I can't switch the avionics OFF !! 

Gauge programming is tricky. I'll continue working on this. Expect a new version of that gauge in the coming days

Glad you guys found the problem.

I recently started using GSX which requires me to open the service doors. If it wasin't for that I would have most likely not spot it.

Thank you for the effort you guys put into all of this.

I never got the PMDG 737 because I just cannot Sim with anything below 30fps. The default 737 is ideal for high fps. This VC update is really amazing, going to be clocking many hours in the default 737.

I heard that PMDG is very good the best but I also head its a slide show  :-/

What an odd thing to say. I don't think I've ever got over 30fps in FSX apart from in a cessna or something.  My PMDG737 flies around at between 20 and 25fps and I think the 5fps lose if well worth the amazing features of the PMDG model. Those extra 5fps will add far less to your experience than the super accurate cockpit and systems.
Also you have a much more powerful system than me ( I have a i7 2760qm @2.7/2.8Ghz), so why you can't get 30fps in the NGX I don't know =/

That said...I'd like to say a big well done to alrot on your upgrade to the VC! Incredible work as always.
