Hi,
I hope you don't mind but I would like to post here a copy of a post I put on the PMDG forum, but it appears no one there can help. I certainly don't believe the problem lies with AdvDisp as it works with all the other aircraft I have, but I was hoping you may have some ideas.
"Can anyone please tell me if they have managed to get Pete Dowson's "AdvDisp" to work with the PMDG 747?
I have tried everything I can think of (short of posting on Pete Dowson's forum, which will be my next step) to try and get the PMDG 747 and AdvDisp to work together.
Everytime I load AdvDisp it causes eratic behaviour in the Main 2D screen. If I try and dock AdvDisp (either to the main panel or a separate panel on the main screen) it looks as though it works but depending upon where on the main screen I dock it one or more of the following happen:
1) Outside display freezes,
2) Display corrupted, i.e. PFD and ND screens go blank,
2) Switches on the main panel refuse to work,
3) The ND goes back to a previous time.
When I remove the AdvDisp any switches that I had tried to click whilst AdvDisp was loaded have actually moved into their new position and the display catches up to itself, i.e. the outside view refreshes to what should actually be there. The ND also corrects itself.
This is causing me untold problems as I use Radar Contact and that relies on AdvDisp. This is the only aircraft I have had this problem with, I have the PMDG 737NG and that is no problem, but at the moment this is rendering the 747 as unuseable as I have crashed into many taxiying aircraft whilst on the ground when the AdvDisp window is open. :oops: I know the obvious option is to stop taxying to prevent myself crashing, but when on final approach into somewhere like LHR that isn't really feasable. :? "
If anyone can please help I would be extremely grateful.
Many thanks,
Steve.
