DH3 Otter and Flight1 GTN 750 problem

Post by jjr5067 » Tue Jan 16, 2018 9:43 pm

Don’t know where to turn. Having a problem with GTN 750 in Milviz Otter in Prepare3Dv4.1. At beginning of flight it works normal. Cockpit mount works and when I choose drop down gtn 750 the cockpit gtn 750 screen goes black as it should. The stack icon is in upper left but nothing happens when I click it. After about a half hour if I use the drop down both screens stay lit with the drop down map frozen but when I use the keys in the drop down it effects the cockpit mounted gtn. The cockpit mount continues to work but I can no longer use the drop downs. I tried changing the cpu core # to 1 but problem persists. This is the only Milviz aircraft I own. Any suggestions appreciated, Thanks

Also, I own the JustFlight DH3 Otter and it is doing the same exact thing. There is even someone on the JF forums who also has the same problem. Trying to isolate if it is a Flight1 GTN thing or an Otter integration problem but I understand JF Otter is not your problem, just thought the extra info may help. Thank You

If I use a menu drop down in P3Dv4 (such as AIRCRAFT/FUEL and PAYLOAD) then try the drop down of the 750 both screens (including cockpit mount) of the 750 stay lit making the drop down 750 unusable. If I use the keys in the 750 drop down it effects the cockpit mounted gtn but the drop down 750 screen remains frozen.]The cockpit mount continues to work but I can no longer use the drop downs.

Flight1 will offer no help until I hear back from this forum or Milviz.

I also have the same problem with the GTN 750 drop down locking up, If you have ever had a similar problem, or if anyone has a solution to this problem, a reply would be much appreciated.

I found and now use CPU 2 or 3 work well on the Milvis and Just flight Otters and most of my other planes that use GTN. I was getting similar problems using the other settings. If I have a 750 and 650 in one plane I use CPU 2 for 750 and CPU 3 for 650.

Were you having the same problems before switching cores? Thanks.

Didn't work. Tried cores 2 and 3 same problem. I think it has something related to the fact that when STACK is clicked the 750 will not drop down. It only drops down if you use the Prepare menu at top of screen and choose aircraft/panel/750

From Chuck -


I would try using the F1 configuration manager to set up the DHC3 and have it set up the ini file and the panels , there may be config conflicts this would resolve.

c opy the folders
to a safe place first just in case.

Let us know how it goes


Best CJ

Thanks I’ll give it a try. Can you explain how I do that with the configuration tool? Thanks

How are you making out with this, try this link here

http://www.simforums.com/forums/gtn-750 ... 53177.html

Legacy mode is what you should check. This is in the ini file the f1gtn puts in your aircraft folder. If it's 1 set it to 0 if it's 0 set it to 1.

Since the thing is locking up when you select another window as the fuel pay load, it's possible you have two windows with the same number in your panel.cfg. Back up your panel.cfg first if you edit it in case you make it worse.

Using the f1gtn config tool de-select the 750 and save, this uninstalls it.Then go back in and select it, set it to use CPU 2 and save will install it properly.

Do each thing separately then test each time.

This issue is with F1 and not us.

We can't help you further with this.

Sorry.

I figured that. I tried the suggestions above and they did not work. Flight1 did not help at all and tried to say it's your problem but if it's happening on your Dh3 and JustFlights DH3 I confer it is a Flight1 problem. Thanks

Sorry to bother you but again Flight1 is giving me problems. They asked me these questions. Thanks

The reason I asked is to verify that F1 GTN was working properly in their support setup or do they see the same problem you are reporting?

And are they using the same version(s) of the software you are using?

Surely, I would expect, other pilots on their forum would be reporting the same problem you have.

I have some important new info. Changed CPU core to 2. This is in regards to Milviz DH3 Otter. All wheeled version work perfect including stack drop down and do not freeze. All other versions other than plain wheeled still will not work from stack and if dropped down from Prepare menu will freeze when another menu option is opened. Must have something to do with stack option but why only on wheel version is it functioning OK. What files do you think I should check for differences between the wheeled and other versions. Thanks.

Look at the missing files in the other version compared to the wheeled version

Every forum I have been on says it's the other's problem. If you made the Otter integrated for use with the GTN 750 can't you test it at your end? Why does the wheeled version have files that none of the other versions contain? Thanks.

Tell F1 that they should make their own models, paint them, code them and tag them. That way we won't have to do it (at our own cost).
