No Gate Numbers
« on: September 08, 2018, 01:41:43 am »
I have P3D 4.3 and I checked that the RTT Render to Text is enabled, but I can not get any numbers to show up on the gate sign.  Everything else works perfect.

That seems to indicate some kind of problem with video drivers. Try to reset all video driver settings to default, and use the latest available driver for your card. Which card you use ?

Reporting the same problem, running a GTX1060. Have verified latest drivers are installed, running on a 1920x1080 monitor. All jetway numbers appear black, DirectX 12 is installed on my computer. Running P3D v4.3, and disable RTT is not checked as per the default settings and the manual.

I had this problem too, make sure you fill in all of the fields including color, font, etc. If any of the fields are blank they will appear black. This happened to me also.

I have all the fields filled in.  I can see a thin strip of the background color on the left side of each gate screen, its like the image is there but doesn't stretch across the entire block.

I'm not sure what you mean by this, I don't have an option to leave anything blank. I have edited every variable under the gate numbers section and tried different combinations. The result is always the same, the number prism on the jetway remains fully black.

Ok I finally got everything to work including the Gate numbers; here's what I did:

Uninstall everything FSDT (airports and GSX) and also the addon manager.  Then reinstall addon manager, gsx and finally any airports.

Reinstalling the Addon Manager is totally redundant, since it's included with GSX.

The one and only reason why you'd want to install the Stand-Alone Addon Manager, is in case you want to updated the modules to the latest version with a smaller download. But with the Live Update, is not really required.

We kept the Stand-Alone Addon Manager available for download only for a single reason: the QW757 *requires* to install the Stand-Alone Addon Manager after it is installed, because its installer hasn't been updated to our latest standard. So, we kept the Stand-Alone Addon manager available for QW757 users that are not interested in any other FSDT product, so they only want to have their airplane running, without installing GSX or an FSDT scenery.
