osage Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I can enter Company flight plan and SimpleCam works. I make changes to the flightplan in FMC, then save it.... and SimpleCam doesn't work. Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aivlasoft Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Hi Doug, Which aircraft? Which simulator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osage Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 Urs, I'm using PMDG 737-800 winglets via Steam. Thanks Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aivlasoft Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Hi Doug, although I don't have the Steam Edition here, I tried to reproduce it using the PMDG 737 with FSX, but to no avail. I cannot reproduce it. Must be something really specific on your system. Can you verify whether the SimpleCam icon is still available in the system tray after saving the flight plan? Maybe some interference between SimConnect and Steam? it's a bit groping in the dark, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osage Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 let me check it again---haven't been flying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osage Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 Urs, thanks for running the test. I've now checked a number of my PMDG 737-800 'saved' flights and the Cam works flawlessly when using the flight plan that is brought up in my FMC---ala company plans. However, the problem occurred again. From the taxi stand, and bringing up the FMC, I added one or two new waypoints. Then, I went to the PMDG menu and did a 'Save Panel'.....Then....I executed a "Load Saved Panel" in the same PMDG menu.....THEN...Back to the cockpit to test the Cam. Nada. The PMDG Save feature within the FMC doesn't like my setup, or the Steam setup----I can't even activate any of the Keyboard commands normally associated with FSX after saving within the PMDG menu through the onboard FMC. If I do a regular Save and Confirm within the FMC without going to the PMDG Save and Load feature....then all is good. It is not a major, major thing for me as I rarely save to the PMDG Panel menu, but would certainly appreciate any insight and direction. Thanks for getting back.

aivlasoft Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Doug, thanks for the detailed answer. I can't even activate any of the Keyboard commands normally associated with FSX after saving within the PMDG menu through the onboard FMC This sounds to me as the problem is beyond the scope of SimpleCam. It seems to be caused at a deeper level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osage Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 Urs! Solved my problem: I wasnbo't closing the green, horizontal keyboard box on the FMC after I 'keyboarded' an entry .. #Operator error. Thanks for your help.. Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
