Re: Installation problems, bugs & CTD's
Hi N4GIX,
Thank you for the quick reply.
Once again, many thanks for your help, Happy New Year to you and all.

Thank you for the quick reply.
This a bit strange as I do not now, nor have I ever owned this aircraft (!?), anyway thank you for the file, I will install as directed and re-check.The error about the missing MilVizT50_navwhi.fx file has nothing to do with the KA 350i project. It is an .fx file included with the Cessna T50 Bobcat.
As you can see from this thread, if I place this file in the KA350i Panel folder I get persistent CTD's, I tried it in the ..\Modules folder as per an earlier post within this thread, I will try it again in the ..\Gauges folder and report back...\Modules is an incorrect folder for the WX gauge file. It should be in the aircraft's ..\panel folder or the sim's ..\Gauges folder only.
Once again, many thanks for your help, Happy New Year to you and all.

Re: Installation problems, bugs & CTD's
Hi N4GIX,
Well, in this config it is now selectable without CTD at least, but it does not work (on my system anyway).
I flew it through/around a P3Dv4.5 induced thunderstorm and did not see even a 'blip' on the screen (?).
Is there anything else that I can do to get this working, is it actually implemented yet?
The Terrain RDR seems to work, I have not checked it for accuracy as yet.
Is there any sense in stripping it out P3D and trying to reinstall the whole a/c?
Appreciate your help,
Steve F.

Re: Installation problems, bugs & CTD's
Check it immediately after the ctd and the error should be at the top.

Re: Installation problems, bugs & CTD's
Hi JB,
I did check the Windows error log and posted it below;
My guess is that we will no longer see the CTD error.
Is there an update or hotfix that I need to apply (?), I had only purchased this and the PC-6 on Xmas day and thought that I had the latest versoins (?), but I see from the webpage today that this add-on is probably still in a bit of a 'fluid state' at present?
Be back soon, cheers,
Steve F.

I will run it again and repost, but please understand that placing the MV_WXM.dll file into ..\Gauges folder seems to have cured the CTD, but the Wx RDR just does not appear to work.1st Red dot (?) says;

Re: Installation problems, bugs & CTD's
Hi again JB,
There may be a small bit of confusion here, N4GIX seems to have cured the CTD's by having me place the MV_WXM.dll file into the ../Gauges folder, this seems to stop the CTD's when I select Wx RDR in the VC, but the Wx RDR does not appear to work at all, TERR RDR does work to some extent.
Will anyone kindly answer the following questions please;
Content Error Log displays this in the last few rows (not sure what the 'fx_launchn' bits are?);

Not worried about the 'TailFlood' at present.

Will anyone kindly answer the following questions please;
- Does MV_WXM.dll live in more than one place (it is currently removed from the KA350i\Panel folder and has been moved to the ..\Gauges folder)?
- Should I apply the 'HotFix' (or the update/service pack (when rel'd))?
- Should I strip-out and re-install this aircraft?

Re: Installation problems, bugs & CTD's
I'll need to correct N4GIX on this point. This specific WXM.dll is different from our other aircraft that use a different standalone weather radar display. As such, it only works if it is in the panel folder, since it is not loaded by the simulator through the panel.cfg, but by internal routines in the PL-21 system itself. Your error is a very unique one that I have never encountered in my career. I am doing some more research on it.
Just to confirm, if you have it in the panel folder, the aircraft loads fine, but only CTDs on WX radar selection for display?

Re: Installation problems, bugs & CTD's
Hi JB,
Oohh, ok, thank you for the info.
Before you start digging too far into this, is it worth me re-installing and applying the 'HotFix' (Iam not sure what the 'HotFix' is actually for)?
Cheers,
Steve F.

Yes that is correct, and I can also select the TERR RDR without CTD, it is just the selection of Wx that CTD's.Just to confirm, if you have it in the panel folder, the aircraft loads fine, but only CTDs on WX radar selection for display?

Re: Installation problems, bugs & CTD's
The hotfix fixed a number of other potential CTDs and some other bugs. I also don't know which as my involvement on the KA is limited. I would recommend you get it.

Re: Installation problems, bugs & CTD's
The ESENT error is Windows related... Here's how to fix it
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/win ... d6412895a0
Go to Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\
Create the folder TileDataLayer then inside that folder create Database folder.

Hi raptor,
Thank you for this, just completed it and will check later for the result.
Many thanks,

Re: Installation problems, bugs & CTD's
Hi JB,
Ok, I checked the HotFix and find it was a new installer, so that answered my question regarding 'do I uninstall?'
So, I removed the original and stripped it completely from P3Dv4.5~, shutdown, run a CCleaner tidy up and registry clean, rebooted and ran the new installer, all files are now excatly where the installer puts them, oh BTW, I also removed MV_WXM.dll from the ..\Guages folder before I statred all of this.
I then restarted and setup for the test flight again KSEA ISBRG1/34R PAE GRIZZ6/26L CYVR.
During the flight I tried to play around with many of the settings for the Wx RDR, this is what I got at various setting (gain?), I cannot see what the 'T+20A' part means or where to change that (?);
So, it is 'kind of' working now, just not sure if this is what you would expect, of course I cannot account for the Wx coming out of AS+ASCA as I do appear to be able to set any manual WX with it (!?).
Hope this may help, again many thanks,
Steve F.

Re: Installation problems, bugs & CTD's
Depending on the tilt, you will get terrain returns

Re: Installation problems, bugs & CTD's
Hi JB,
Yeh, understood, but I cannot see where to control the tilt as theres no manual for the PL21.
What does the "T+2.0A" bit mean, I am guessing this is possibly tilt and gain, maybe the 'A' means above, I cannot see how or even if that is a real thing or where it can be changed?
Anyway, some more shots during the flight, not sure if any of this is any use to you, I would also agree that some of this is terrain returns, but some look like possible cloud pings, Wx was internal P3Dv4.5 set for gathering storms.
One thing that I did notice during this test, is that the Wx RDR display appears to 'draw' in one direction and erase in the opposite direction, although even this is sporadic at best.
Any ideas, fixes or other suggestions would be greatfully received.
Many thanks,
Steve F.

The small knob is similarly disguised as RANGE.

Re: Installation problems, bugs & CTD's
Hi N4GIX,
I knew it would be right in front of my face somewhere (Doh!), thanks.
I have now actually seen some weather on the display now, but in a very sporadic manner....
....although I guess you will tell me "that's weather for ya!"
Some pretty heavy rainfall... But nothing on the scope... This was before t/o, I am guessing that the Tilt is a little 'off'...
I will give it another go.
Cheers,
Steve F.
