P3Dv4/ Win10/64 - I can not open Maintenance Hangar

Post by Enrico1970 »

Hi everybody!

On 8. June 2017 I brought A2A Cessna 172 for P3DV4 and downloaded the installer.
(Size is 221MB - 232.189.693 Bytes)

I use Windows 10 64 bit and P3DV4 Version 4 (not 4.1)

In the beginning i did not realized, that there is a Maintenance Hangar & Lloyd & Fuel Panel,
I was wandering why sometimes the engine didn't start and I was not able to refuel, so I did a reinstallation...

But yesterday I read about these tools and were unable to open them in flight with Shift + 2 , Shift + 3 , ...

Then I read in the forums, thats it is important do stop all firewall and antivirus programs while installing
and to have simconnect installed.

This ist what I did:
1. I deactivated all Windows Firewalls
2. I installed all Simconect Versions from the P3D/reddist folder (ESPv1 / FSX-RTM / FSX - SP1 / FSX - SP2 - XPACK)
3. I installded A2A Cessna 172 in the Documents folder / P3D V4 Add-ons

When I open P3D and the A2A 172 nothing happened wir Shift +2 to Shift + 7

What did I miss?

Thanks

Enrico

Hello,

first thing to check before the steps you have tried would be to simply ask if the pop up panels work on the default aircraft?

shift 1-9 are default keys to bring up the 2d panels.

thanks,

Hi Lewis!

Thanks for your reply.

The Panels did not show up with the default aircraft, so I got the Idea, that it had to do
with the P3D "Controls" Settings.

When I installed EZCA I deleted all shortcuts in the "Controls" menu and activated just the few I needed.

So, I saved my "Controls" settings and put them to default and now it worked
and the "maintenence hanger" showed up.

I loaded my "Controls" settings again and connected "Panel window 1 (to 9) (display/hide)"
to Shift 1-9.


Thanks for help!

Best regards

Enrico

Great to hear Enrico, I would highly advise against deleting all controls as you could be often running into little things like this, causing more time troubleshooting and mapping controls over actual sim flying.
