GTN not showing up in panel/strobes and beacon not illuminating

Post by Flyboy3ck »

Hello all. Im having a few issues with the Cherokee for P3D, as well as the Commanche. Neither plane is showing the beacon or the strobes while either on the ground or in flight. is this a limitation of v3 that im not aware of, or is it something else that im missing? Also, I just did a clean reinstall of the Cherokee, and will be doing one on the Commanche as well here soon. The F1 GTN750 isnt showing up as an option with the Shift-3 menu even when I have it selected in the Cherokee aircraft config program. Am I doing something wrong that its not showing? I had it in there when I had the previous install, so I dont understand why its not showing up now. Any help on either item would be appreciated. *Note, I also just bought and downloaded P3D v4 so Im going to be testing there at different fields too. Once I do Ill update here with the results. Thanks in advance.

Hello,

It sounds like you are not all updated. Whilst our new P3Dv4 products will update upon install and have a different system the FSX and older P3Dv3 products still use the old Accu-sim updater that should be run last after installations of the aircraft, you can download it here;

Thanks Lewis. Im working on getting v4 installed as I type this, and once I get the Cherokee and Commanche installed Ill try to get the GTN put in the panel. Once I do that Ill update on whats going on. In the mean time, ill try the updater you gave a link to for v3. The thing is, the config shows the option for the GTN, so im just confused as to why its not showing when I select it and hit ok.

Check its selected in the shift + 3 menu and also that when running the config tool you are running as admin so the changes it makes are being saved correctly.

For P3Dv4 remember to update your GPS accordingly for the new platform.
