Problem with "Customize Parking Editor"
« on: June 02, 2024, 01:19:13 pm »
Sir....I have been using GSX and GSX 2 for a few years wiyhout any trouble.
Its made  my P3Dv5.4 very happy.
Recently I added over 100+ new parking spots at 28 payware airports without a single proble.
Now for some strange reason the Editor has broken.
My procedure is....
I open aa airport/select any plane. I see the Green box notifying me "Airport cacheloaded sucessfully"
I click on "Add-ons" in the menu.....And then click on "Customize Parking" in the editor...
The airplane immediately starts zooming backwards...accross the entire airport...and into the surronding area.
The only way I have found to stop this zooming movement is to close the Sim.
I have checked in the "compile.ini" and see the Logfile....but it has NO entry.
I tried re-building the p3d.cfg....but get the same result.
Can you please help me ??
Thanks

Skip, check your control assignments in P3D and make sure that you don't have any slew commands tied to any hardware that you have, like yokes or rudder pedals. Chances are that's the issue.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Couple things....1. I looked in the Key and Axis Assignments,but didn't see anything with 'slew' attatched.(I never use 'slew' so maybe I was looking for the wrong thing)
2.Was I looking in the right place for a Logfile to show the problem ??? (APPDATA/Virtuali/GSX/compile.ini)
I see "Logfile=....nothing else !!

On the axis assignments, you should see a circle that says normal and one that says slew. You need to select slew, then check to make sure you don't have anything assigned for all the hardware that you have.

GREAT !!!!!!
Thanks Kevin !!!!
I see a box along the top in the 'Axis Assignments' that says"Flight Mode=Normal
I clicked on it and saw 'Slew'
Went inside and found 3 entries in 'Slew'....deleted all 3 and
VOILA...no more backward aircraft movement !!!

It's nice to have someone who knows what is going on !!!

It's a common issue. What happens is the simulator automatically assigns controls to your hardware by default, even if it makes no sense. Then if your hardware is old and has a signal spike, it's what causes the plane to do something you weren't expecting it to do.
