Title: Cannot acess tower features in avatar mode
Post by: mashmanz on June 04, 2016, 01:31:42 am
Hi,

Whenever I go into avatar mode and bring up the menu to use the features, when ever I click on the warp avatar to base of tower or anything to do with the tower, the menu just closes with nothing happening. Also when my avatar goes near the tower (walking ther manually) it just goes crazy and I loose control of him. I have the latest version of everything like GSX etc and I am running P3D V3.2.

Many Thanks
Mattew

Does the Warp commands work for the airplane ?

Yes it does, I can warp the aircraft to places like the hangar, but its just features for the avatar that don't seem to work.

Strange. I cannot reproduce it, and nobody else reported it so far. It's happening only close to the tower or in other places ? What happens if you try to walk into a normal building with the avatar ?

Its happening when i'm just at the airport, at any gate. my avatar can walk through the buildings, but when i walk near the tower entrance i just loose all control over the avatar. I have tried to re install the scenery twice now, but it has not changed anything.

This is a problem too. At KMEM, the Avatar is NOT supposed to walk through the buildings, they should stop him. Do the collision work with the airplane, instead ?

Hi Virtuali,

I´ve got similar problems.
My Avatar is able to walk through walls and the "Warp Avatar to..." Functions of the GSX Menu doesn´t work.
I´m able to open the tower- and elevatordoors with the GSX menu, but the elevator doesn´t move. I´ve got control of the avatar.

Greetings from Germany..
Bernd

Edit: Problem solved! Towerview and avatar-warps working well with the default Avatars! I´ve tried to use it with Dino Cattaneos military avatars! My fault...
But I´m still able to walk through the walls...
Take care
Bernd

I have the same problem! My avatar doen'nt move using the menphis airport menu. Is it possible some conflict with some other addon (ezca etc etc)?

Yes, it's possible. EZCA is known to have caused issues in the past with GSX, likely due to some way it handles the keyboard. And, it's possible there might be issue with the camera views, especially if you don't use a default camera.

We'll check this. It seems strange, because we don't do any assumptions on the avatar name.

You shouldn't, unless something has changed in your Avatar config file due to the installation of the addon one, so it's not a "real" Avatar anymore.

I have the same issue. Not using EZCA or modified Avatar. My Avatar is default. I can select *Warp to ...* but nothing happens. Manually walking to the Control Tower I can walk thru the door and thru the elevator. The control tower base door does not automatically open for me. The YouControl Menu works for airplane and I can warp to the Fedex hangar, open/close hangar door, control lights, etc. Its just the Avatar mode that does not want to work. I have reinstalled once and rebooted after each install. No difference. Hopefully, this is something on my end that I can easily fix but thought to let you and other posters here know that I am experiencing the same issue.

After spending a bit of time looking into what could be causing this, and a re install of P3D V3.2 and with the newest installers available for everything from the FSDT site, I am still having the issue.

P3Dv3.2 avatar does not warp to tower. I can walk through buildings too.

What I discovered is if I select avatar from the vehicles menu or if I detach him from a heli, the GSX avatar menu doesn't work. If I select an airplane and detach the avatar the GSX menu works fine as does the avatar.

What do you mean with "I select avatar from the vehicles menu". Are you maybe using the Dino Cattaneo military avatar addons ? It has been confirmed in this thread there's a problem with those, we'll try to have a look at it as soon as possible.

I encountered this exact issue as well with the avatar not warping anywhere. If I walked to the tower I would walk right through it. The door did not trigger as I approached either. I could control the door with the onscreen menu.

I fixed my issue by setting the P3D Default Scenario (F-22) and restarting P3D. I had a customized scenario loaded so I would start with a cold and dark aircraft. After resetting back to the factory default scenario it works completely now for me.

If setting back to the original default scenario does not work, you might want to try deleting the scenario files (\AppData\Local\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3\Prepar3D_Default.fxml). They will rebuild based on the default scenario selection in P3D. I do this often as one of my payware aircraft is not P3D compatible and it corrupts this file.

Tried going back to default settings and deleting the file. Still does not work.

Are you using the default Avatar ?

Wanted to report back that the Avatar Warp function now works! Since my last post yesterday, I did two things today: (1) deleted Prepar3D_Default.fxml and let Prepar3D rebuild as suggested by skypilot75 - thanks for sharing the tip, and (2) as I launched P3D, there was a message to update Couatl, and I followed the in-game instructions to update it. I didn't see this in-game message yesterday. Then I loaded KMEM, the Avatar Warp function worked, altough choppy / stuttering as it tried to load the Control Tower, but it worked fine. Problem solved!!

Yes, using default. I use the default F-22 default start up and then go to KMEM. I ran the check for updates and it was current. I then did shift-ctrl-e and the lockheed martin avatar opened. I changed it to first person view and opened the KMEM menue. I then selected warp to tower and nothing happens. I can warp the aircraft to FedEx hanger and other spots.

See the above post which indicated a solution that worked for him.

I got it to work! My P3D cfg file had Aerosoft's Airbus avatar as default. Changed it to LM's one and it now works.

If you load the default avatar directly rather than detaching him from an airplane, the GSX menu won't work.

We already have an internal fix that will support multiple avatars. We are just testing it out a bit, before releasing it.

The update released yesterday supports alternative Avatars.
