Aprilia 4 Ever 35 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Hello everyone, the checklist function was working well until I've installed v 1.10. I've set the cold n dark mode as default but the checklist starts everytime after engine start but what about the cockpit prep?! best regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheyenne Chief Pilot 829 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 You have to start ("trigger") it manually from the C/L menu ... Before you can do that, you need electricity (both batteries set to 'on') and ground power connected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aprilia 4 Ever 35 Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 yeah i know that but the checklist is greyed out, so nothing to klick (start) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 yeah i know that but the checklist is greyed out, so nothing to klick (start) Hi, I would suggest you start from the beginning and Load the AXE "delete" your "DEF" AIRCRAFT STATE by using LSK5R Load "COLD DARK STATE" by using LSK1L Set both Batteries and EXT PWR to ON Set the Cecklist and Copilot functionality both to ON Then COCKPIT PREP CL should become "orange" Then Click LSK3L to start the COCKPIT PREP CL If after point 6 the checklists are still "grey" something with you installation is wrong ......

RobsonM 94 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Try opening/closing the door after you've loaded COLD&DARK and see if cockpit prep. checklist is now orange (ready to start). It happened to me once during test and re-install was the answer. But first try Hanse suggestion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aprilia 4 Ever 35 Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 hello everybody, I've tried both solutions but neither the first nor the second worked for me. The checklist is still greyed out. I've reinstalled FSX and the AXE but the problem remains. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindbergh72 74 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I got the problem with Descent prep list, it won't start, any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've reinstalled FSX and the AXE but the problem remains. cheers I cannot believe that a reinstallation has not solved your solution. I have no idea what could cause such a strange behaviour on your system. Did you also check with the other ACFT STATES i.e. do you have the same problem that all checklists are greyed out after loading the state? The only idea I have is that maybe the ACFT STATE files are missing. Please check if you find in C:\User\your name\Own Documents\Aerosoft\AerosoftAirbusExtended the files named Custom1-5.abx ............

Guest Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I got the problem with Descent prep list, it won't start, any ideas? Hi Frank, this is a completely different issue. So please open another and new topic if the problems still exists. Please use the INFOBAR and tell me what it states. After you have reached cruise level (FMA = ALT CRZ) it should read the distance to the TOD and normally should start automatically app. 10 NM before TOD. Another option is to use "1" from the keyboard to start it. If it still does not start please tell me what message is displayed on the right MCDU / CHECKLIST and which checklist is active....

Regards, Hanse yes it it very strange because it has worked since the release of the AXE. I only have custom 1 - 4.abx. Maybe it is something wrong with the hotfixes? I've installed hotfix 14 and 15 after version 1.10 and one of the hotfixes deals with the fmgc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheyenne Chief Pilot 829 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Over-write permissions? Did you uninstall the AXE and deleted the remaining folders manually, including saved panel states? Did you reinstall the AAX as administrator and with FSX shut down before that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Hi, for me this is clear an installation problem. Because you have still the "old" custom-files it means you did not have deleted all the "old" folders and the "new" ones are installed in a wrong folder. Please check (using the the Explorer search functionality) if a file custom5.abx is somewhere on your system. Regards, Hanse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheyenne Chief Pilot 829 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 There are two bundles of AXE folders under the FSX root folder (one is FSX\aerosoft\..., the other one is FSX\simobjects\airplanes\...) PLUS a number of AXE folders under the documents root folder ... that's three completely different locations where you have to look for them!

Aprilia 4 Ever 35 Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 I've found the problem. I used the document searcher to shift the aerosoft files for my german OS and that was my mistake. Everything is fine now. Thank you for your patience!!! cheers marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
