2D panels not showing

Post by metodp »

I have installed the C182 on my P3D v4.2 and cannot bring up the 2D panels. The SHIFT-2 sometimes shows, if I press F10, I get the map, load manager and the radio stack. I have transparency set all the way to the left. I tried to run the accu-sim update and it runs through but only says it installed succesfully and nothing happens (no updating taking place). I had the FSX version of the C172 and Connie and I know how an Accu-Sim update should look like.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,

it sounds like you are all updated ok so no worries there. This is the P3D product not the FSX version so the update process is different as the updates are quite different.

For the panels, can you please check you have the key mapped correctly in P3D.
shift +2,3,4,5 etc are all default sim keys that can be mapped and remapped etc in your P3D settings.

thanks,

Hi!

Managed to sort it out. Uninstalled, and deleted all the content that was left after the installation. The re-installed and updated. Works like a charm :)

The issue might have stemmed from the fact that initially I installed into a wrong folder (A2A\C182 instead of just A2A- the plane wouldn't show up even after the \ cfg fix. In uninstalled it and then installed it into A2A, the plane showed up after the cfg fix but had no 2D panels. Obviously some leftover files from the initial installation were playing tricks on me. So after a thorough 2nd uninstall it worked the 3rd time through...I guess three time's the charm. :)



Funny thing is, that I have to always press the SHIFT-number combo twice to get the pop-ups...is this normal?

regards
Metod
