VRS TackPack + VRSF18E + KLAXV2 No Couatl

[Martyjr]

P3D 2.5 (hot fix) + VRS TackPack + VRSF18E + KLAXV2 (KJFKV2 e.g.) give terminals for 1 second then just jetways and no terminal buildings.?


Couatl is not present in Addons Menu.

Anybody else seeing this?

If the building appears, but then disappear immediately, it means the program has crashed. Your message seems to imply you are having this problem only after installing the VRS products, is this the case ?

Another user here has reported a similar problem with TacPack

http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php/topic,11810.msg90354.html#msg90354

Which seemed to have improved a bit, when using Active Sky Next, which is interesting, but seems to indicate a conflict between different versions of the VC++ libraries used by all these different addons, which appears when they all run together, and not in the same combinations.

You might TRY to download and install the latest Couatl 3 Public Beta, here:

http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php/topic,11796.0.html

And see if it makes any difference with your setup.

Always install the Couatl 3 installer as the last thing you do. If you reinstall any scenery for any reason, always reinstall the  Couatl 3 Public Beta at the end, at least until it becomes official.

Same problem with Couatl 3 in P3D.

Couatl 3 in FSX is OK.

Please try to deactivate every other 3rd party module ( by setting the <disabled>True</disabled> line in their lines in the DLL.XML and EXE.XML ), except bglmanx.dll in DLL.XML and couatl.exe in EXE.XML, and test it.

Then proceed by exclusion, and reactivate one by one, testing separately with relaunching P3D each time, until you find the offending one.

I had already tested more before your last post.

My TacPack is disabled .. not to load automatically.

When P3D (or FSX) start I get the prompt .. do I want to load TacPack.
I do if I am doing TacPack / VRS F18 flights.

If I do not load it ... then select the VRS F18 and KLAXv2 ... the F18 gauges do not load as expected .. TacPack is required for the VRSF18E.
And, Couatl is ok (got the terminal buildings ok).

But naturally I cannot fly the F18.

Does this additional info help?

TacPack + default Mooney Bravo (P3D) at KLAX

Yes, it means the TacPack is causing a conflict with our module and, if I understood correctly, it happens on P3D only. I'm sorry for not being more helpful, but you should probably bring this issue to VRS support.

[Martyjr]

VRS TacPack/F18 developer may not know about Couatl (technically) without talking directly to you.


Edit:
I just tested (other payware) Flightbeam's KPHX and KIAD P3D+ VSR TacPack + VRS F18 and all ok with Couatl in P3D top menu.

So, this is happening ONLY at KLAX, ONLY with the TacPack and ONLY under P3D ? I'm failing to see a connection.

[Martyjr]

this is happening ONLY at KLAX and KJFK as first posted.

And, I had time so I just tested other airports to see if there is a problem or not.

Just telling what I see as additional follow up information.

Those are the only payware I have for P3D .. so limited testing.

[Martyjr]

I have P3D V2.5 (HF 12946) with new VRS version 1424 (for F18E and TackPack).

My first test at KLAX V2 looks real good.
