Yeah, you are right. I'll look into it when I can, working out some issues with my PC at the moment.

Hi Josh,

a simple technical question: After you modified something (it-autoflight a few days ago), is there a possiblity to only download the changed xml-file instead of the whole aircraft and exchange it?

I noticed that the "Fuel and Payload" dialog opens two Canvas windows: one with the actual graphical dialog in it, and another that is empty, titled "Canvas Dialog"; the latter cannot be closed, the orange cross button doesn't seem to work.

The dialog itself is also a tad bit on the big side; it doesn't fit on a 1366x768 laptop screen, and cannot be moved far enough to access all the inputs.

And finally; nosewheel steering feels sluggish, compared to most other aircraft I've tried. At normal taxi speeds, say 15-20 kt, there is very little steering authority, and turning the tiller too far makes the aircraft turn in the opposite direction. It's possible that this is due to the nosewheel losing sideways traction though, but it feels unusually difficult to taxi this aircraft.

I'm confused, fuel and payload isn't in a canvas window. Would you screenshot it pls?

Here you go:

Image

As you can see, there are two windows there, one that says "Fuel and Payload settings", and another one that says "Canvas Window". Both appear when I click "Fuel and Payload" in the "Equipment" menu, but only the "Fuel and Payload settings" one can be closed. I also noticed that clicking the close button on the "Canvas Window" instead closes the "Fuel and Payload" window.

I'm not sure whether these windows actually use the Canvas API, but at least the "Fuel and Payload" window is clearly nonstandard.

Hi tdammers,
I made this custom fuel and payload window and yes, it's canvas.
Despite that, I don't really know what happens as it works fine for me (without opening two dialogs), I'll check the code though
Regards

Okay, I just pushed some changes, please check if the second thing still appears, I might have found the course but I can't check as it never pops up for me at all.

I'm afraid I still see the double dialogs.

The dialog itself looks different though: smaller, and with a darker aircraft, so I guess I'm clearly running the new version. Behavior is the same though - two dialogs pop up, and clicking the close button for the "Canvas Dialog" one closes the other and produces the above error messages.

I can confirm that. For me on the first attempt there are two blank Canvas opening up. Neither one can be closed. On a second click the payload Canvas opens just fine.

lego or tdammers, would you mind pulling and testing again if the error is still there?

Hi,
There are now two identical fuel / payload dialogs opening on top of each other, one of which can be closed - the second cannot.

On my machine, I only get one dialog, but it can't be closed at all anymore, and doesn't seem to work - all the gauges are 100% full, but the numbers are all 0 (except the MTOW), and it says I'm above MTOW despite the total weight showing all 0s.

I honestly don't have an idea why the error happens for you two and not at all for me...
