dominique Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Thank you for the release but I see, upfront, two problems : 1/ The trick of using 1 and 2 to start from a gate doesn't work anymore. 2/ There's a crash box left that you hit when leaving 29 and drifting to the airport.

Stewart Hobson Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Dominique, For some reason using 1 & 2 work ok for me. Everything is normal as far as I can see, no planes or buildings floating in the air either. But don't know about the crash box--I haven't tested that one yet.

Dominique, checked 1/ and 2/ w/o any prob in FSX. to 1/ Do the starting Pos´ at RWY11&29 work? I could duplicate the prob (aircraft on base-under ground level instead of Pos 1 or 2) , if I start or change the starting pos. in "slew mode", but not under normal mode. Hope this helps.

Wulf Thank you for checking, Wulf. I run P3D. The "trick" worked all right in FSX and I suppose the triple has not changed anything to the old version so it still works. I went back to my P3D PAKT to be sure anyway. Created a two P3D scenarios one with a normal start and one with a slew start, both at 1. No joy. Activating the active runway position is OK. I am at the start position at level. Only the gate start won't work. For the crash, start at 29 and let the aircraft drift to the right, to the airport.

wulfbindewald Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 For the crash, start at 29 and let the aircraft drift to the right, to the airport. crosschecked and circling around/above the airport...all fine here in FSX. EDIT: Aircraft crash detection is checked. I propose to make a "quick and easy" check to be sure that no other addon interferes: Move the FTX insertion point inside FTXCentral 2 tool (artificially) to the top=top prio.

Martin Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Dominique, running P3D 2.4 and the same thing happens to me with the elevation. I open PAKT and choose the active, hit slew, then taxi to were I want to be, unclick slew and save the flight, next time I want to fly out of PAKT I just load the saved flight an everything is fine. Not sure why this is happening but a pretty easy work around until a better solution becomes available. Cheers Martin When I've had this problem rerunning the Scenery Configurator fixed it.

Wulf I've no addon whatsoever in North America (including RTMM stuff if you had that in mind). The only ones I've are in Greece and the OzX stuff in Australia. Far away. Moving the insertion point didn't do anything. Again Wulf, I'm not surprised at all that your FSX version works even if mine doesn't ! My PAKT was OK too (except for the DME) when I was flying FSX. I suspect that TD hasn't changed much in it. The whole idea of the triple is to adapt it to P3D which seems problematic... I hope that they will react and give some feedback.

Hi Billy Which one : the messed up starting points 1 and 2 or the crash in midair ? And what do you mean by Scenery Configurator ? And, finally, are you on FSX or P3D ?

Martin Hi Martin That seems to confirm that the P3D conversion is flawed ! That workaround may indeed work but , honestly, a fix would be, let's say, more convenient . That is what the conversion is all about, right ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a fix that just work for me, load PAKT go to location 2, click slew and then hit the f4 - f1 key and the elevation will adjust back to normal.....

Martin Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 You could try it on one leg but two worked for me The only thing I can suggest is turn off the crash box....not the best solution but hey! Cheers Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominique Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 Nope, not ready to do the gymnastics that you found working to start from a gate and unchecking the crash box to recheck it in flight after a while. My PAKT will be shelved I'm afraid until it is ready for P3D prime time or until somebody shows me that the problem is with my (and your) install OrbX record on conversion is quite good so far so I suppose something will be done.

dominique Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 FSX, Dominique. Not surprised, the older (before the triple) FSX version has always been working for me too and I suppose this is basically what you got in the triple. I hope not to have to force tweak it into P3D because I can't have the triple version for that sim properly running. That would be akward...

Voyager Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 No offense, please. I wonder if with this issue are others users of P3D. If that's right, I think that Orbx should provide a hotfix, will be? Any work around isn't the right solution, imho! I'm sorry to see you spend the day trying to solve this issue - and will it be resolved? Good luck mate! Voyager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 For P3D users a simple fix for elevation , just click on slew then hit f4 - f1 and then unclick slew. Not sure about the crash box...we'll see what orbx has to say about it? Cheers Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominique Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 Any work around isn't the right solution, imho! Indeed, OrbX, in my experience, has higher standards than leaving the customer working around flaws. Or there's someting some of us don't understand to make PAKT work (and I'd be happy to stand corrected in that case) or this package was not ready for release.

Jeff974 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Hello Orbx Same isssue for parking 1 & 2 on my config ( (p3D V2.5 with latest hotfix). I'm under the airport... Hope there will be a fine solution. Did not see the hitbox problem as i have disabled crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chancezilla Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Same issue here with me as well with P3D 2.5. Crashing in mid air and under the runway at startup. I initially had the FSX version installed into P3D and I didn't have this issue. Something seems wrong with the P3D triple installer.

Ed Correia Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 For those having the parking issue could you please try these two situations: -start at another airport and then load PAKT spot 1 or 2. -start at PAKT spot 2 then change to spot 1 Does the change load you correctly?

Martin Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Hi Ed, I just started my PC loaded P3D 2.4, then opened Juneau (default airport)everything looked fine, then loaded PAKT at spot 1 and the same thing, spot 2 same thing. Elevation issue still there. The only thing that works for me is to click slew, then F4-F1 keys and everything then looks fine. Odd!

gprguy Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Just adding a +1, same problem is happening to me with the parking in P3D 2.5. Starting at a different airport or switching between the spaces doesn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
