    I'd be curious as to how the install went to your P3D V3. I assume you used the FSX version as I see only a FSX or P3D V4 choice.

    Did you just point the installer to you P3D folder and let the installer do its thing?

    Thanks

    F-104 G/S nose wheel steering

    Only a short information:

    Please consider that activation of the nose wheel steering system for tighter curves on the tármac with "Shift-U" only works when activated (with a peep) within the v-cockpit view.

    Hi,

    Actually I got the P3DV3 version back when that was available from SSW's own store, so it was built to install into P3DV3. Sorry, but I'm not sure how an install would go with another installer. You could always try installing the FSX version into P3D and then point the FSX textures to P3DV3 and also point the FSX Activation file to P3DV3.

    I came to think that is this version we got free different from few years back. I checked my present installation and it is from 2016?

    Hello fellow Zipper pilots!

    Thank you SSW for your generous gift to the FS community!

    I am trying to get the camera system working with on screen display (such as described here : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BiljDJ71dxs ), to no avail so far. The camera light does burn but no on screen display at all.

    Does it work well on your side? Is it a P3D only feature?

    Fly and stay safe!

    Hi everybody,

    First I'm sorry for my poor English but I'll try to do my best.

    I'm new in this forum and I've problems with the radar.
    SSW 104 ( freeware) installed, textures installed, vACMI installed ( but always with " Disconnected "message in the popup), Keyless Installer OK, Red Panda started but there is always an error message on a white radar screen.

    I've seen in a old thread that someone had the same message and he fixed it installing vACMI.

    No success for me ( FSX Acc, Window 7)



    I hope that someone has a good idea for me


    Thanks a lot

    Hello,

    I had disabled Red Panda in the exe.xml and had the white radar screen. I think that enabling Red Panda was the fix for that. But I have had several attempts at having everything working fine, so I might be mixing things up.
    Hope that helps somewhat.

    Hi Kekelekou,

    thanks for your quick answer and sorry for my late answer.
    Question: how can I enable/disable Red Panda and find the exe.xml file ( I'm not at home now so I can't have a look to FSX)?

    Thanks again lucame

    You can find the 'exe.xml' file in "c:\Users\<yourname>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX ". If you don't use Notepad++, you can open it with a text editor.

    If you don't want to use Red Panda or VACMI at all, you can get the zipper to use TacPack instead.
    You do this by editing the 'sswf104g.ini' file, which is in the zipper's main directory. At the bottom, you'll find this:

    [WEAPON_SYSTEM]
    {
    ENGINE: vACMI;
    }

    Just change "vACMI" to "TacPack".

    Hi dhazelgrove,

    thank you for your answer.
    I've found the xml file in FSX, enabled, and in the Weapon _System I've now vACMI,
    but I've still have the white radar screeen with the error message ( see attachment).

    Very very strange....

    Anyway, what is a Red Panda?
    When I start FSX it always pops up

    Red Panda should be an application wich let communicate the zipper with the vACMI ( or with multiplayers).

    I think it's a good thing when it starts opening the FSX: it means that' it's working ( I have to activate it manually and I just have the message " Red Panda started".

    Did you get the same white radar screen?

    I'm starting to think that there is a bug in the Simarket freeware package…

  13. #38
    Yes, but I don't use vACMI
    Still, it opens

    I have just remembered that I had to change the weapon system software to be used in a ini file before I got the radar working.

    From what I have understood so far (due to the lack of proper documentation...) :
    If you are a TacPack user :
    - You don't have to install vACMI
    - You can disable Red Panda in your EXE.XML
    - The weapon system should work straight out of the box

    If you don't owe TacPack and want to use the weapon system :
    - You have to install vACMI
    - Red Panda has to be active
    - You have to change the weapon system software from sswf104g.ini (in your SimObjects/Airplanes IIRC) so that it reads :

    Code:
    # 
    WEAPON SYSTEM 
    ENGINE: vACMI or TacPack 
    # 
     [WEAPON_SYSTEM] 
    { 
    ENGINE: vACMI;
    }
    I hope it does the trick for you.

    Hi Kekelekou,

    I'm not using TacPack or VACMI.

    I've looked in exe.xml and changed Red Panda disabled "false " with "true" and left everything else as it is but without success.

    I think I'll give up before a do a fatal mistake...

    SSW G91 flies flawless, I'm still asking myself, after all my attempts, where is the bug with the Starfighter ( maybe in Window 7 ?).


    Again thanks a lot

    To fix Red panda I had to go to my firewall and accept it.Now it works like a charm.

  17. #42
    Red Panda is accepted but the error message is still there.

    Somewhere there must be a connection problem between the zipper and a browser or a server

    Gonna sound like a dumb suggestion, but try running the keyless installer again. This will generate a new key; make sure you check all SSW planes you have installed. I had a problem where my zipper wouldn't initialize after I installed the Tornado, running the installer for all products (I sprung for 'em all in the sale) got it working.

    What is this error message you are refering to? The one on the radar screen?

    The weapon system most likely REQUIRES either vACMI or Tacpack to work as expected.
    if you don’t run Tacpack or if you haven’t installed vACMI and changed the parameter in the ini file as I posted earlier, it won’t work (most likely).

  20. #45
    vACMI installed, .ini file changed ( engine vACMI) but no success.

    A question: do I have to copy the contents of the F104- and of the vACMI-modules folders into the main FSX modules folder ?


    This is an updated screenshot of my panel.

    Darn it...
    Is Red Panda disabled? If so, please reenable it in the exe.xml and test again.
    Fingers crossed!

  22. #47
    I suppose that Red Panda is enabled.
    It doesn't start automatically, I have to launch it manually ( without error message)

    I've just noticed that I don't have Websimconnect in my PC?

    Could it be the solution ?

  24. #49
    Hello,

    Your EXE.xml just looks the same as mine.
    The socalled WebSimConnect seems to be the RedPanda application which can be found here : "FSX\SimSkunkWorks\WebSimConnect"
    Does the folder exist on your side?

  25. #50
    Yes, I have the " Simskunkwoks " folder with the three subfolder " vACMI", " Websimbrowser" and "Websimconnect".

    In "Websimconnect" I manually activate Red Panda and then I get " Red Panda started".

    And then as expected… always no radar.
